“Never be sorry for something that was not your fault.” His voice was pained, and he looked away from me and up over my head. The muscles in his jaw ticked as seconds went by. I could see the raw rage and anger. It made me want to reach out and inside of him to remove it.
“I know it wasn’t my fault, I just feel…” My words were cut off, Talon’s lips falling against mine shutting me up. I could feel nothing but his touch as he kissed me so gently; it was as if he was trying to remove the pain that I had suffered with each press of his lips against mine.
“No. Stop. Don’t speak.” He pulled away from me, and I missed his touch. I wanted more of him, so much more.
“What did you do to him?” I had to ask because all I could remember was hearing the sound of bones crunching.
Talon’s nostrils flared. “He’s still alive, so clearly not enough.” I felt the same anger. I felt the same pain. The fear that rushed through me when he pulled my shirt up over my head and everything went dark. The moment when I realized no one would notice where I went or what was happening to me.
I was certain that it all was over. I would be damaged goods, and for what reason, my association with Talon?
“Please, for the love of fucking God, Mia, stay out of that beautiful mind of yours. I can see you replaying everything in your mind, and it makes me want to get in my car and go to that fucker’s house and beat the life out of him.” Talon held me to the present with his touch alone, overwhelming my senses. I might have said I hated him in the past, but that hate was starting to melt into like. Something I wasn’t sure how I felt about.
“What if I said I wanted that?” I bit my lip, my eyes lingering down to his lips. I could see him take a breath in before he responded. He knew the effect he had over me, but I had never seen the effect I had over him.
He leaned into my face, his forehead against mine, our bodies entwined in a never-ending web that I didn’t want to separate.
“Then I would get in my fucking car, drive out there, and do it.” I could feel his heartbeat pounding through his shirt, and I was sure my own heartbeat matched the rhythm of his.
“Please don’t.” I sighed. Talon had never been so soft or caring before, and I was all kinds of confused on what was going on inside that head of his.
“Then I won’t. I won’t do anything you don’t want me to.” His confession rocked me. I was falling for him, even when I didn’t want to. Tonight had changed everything. He was opening up to me, not only that but he saved me. He rescued me when I was certain there was no saving.
“I want you, Talon.” I couldn’t believe I spoke the words. I almost placed my hands over my mouth trying to stop the word vomit from coming out. Then again you couldn’t stop the heart from speaking no matter how much you tried.
The second he digested the words, his eyes flicked to mine the blue-gray in them growing dark. I could feel his length against my leg. I should have been scare or at least wanting to roll away from him, but I didn’t.
None of those things came to mind. Instead, the need to devour him did. I wanted him like I needed my next breath. He made my stomach hurt, and my body quiver with need that I didn’t understand.
“Don’t say that.” Talon’s voice was so deep, and I wanted to dive right into it and never come out.
“Why? It’s the truth,” I whimpered, hurt that he couldn’t believe me. I wanted him. What did I have to do to prove that to him?
One of his hands gripped my hip, pulling me into his center. I could feel his hardness way more now. My mouth watered.
I was ready for him if he would have me.
“Do you feel that hardness?” With one thrust his hips I moaned into his neck.
“That’s what you get when you tell me you want me. My cock’s been hard since the first day I met you and you told me to fuck off.” He smirked, and I wiggled my body against him watching his willpower shrink.
“I’m not na?ve, and I’m not a virgin, Talon. I know what to expect. I’ve fucked before,” I whispered the words into his throat, nipping at his skin. He shuddered against me, his grip growing tighter.
“You might not be a virgin or na?ve, but you’ve never been fucked until I fuck you, Mia. Until I make you scream my name over and over again. Until I feel your pussy clench around my cock. Until I leave your body red and worked over.” He bit my lip forcing me to stare into his eyes.
“Until every single ounce of your body is given to me. That’s being fucked, better yet that’s being fucked by Talon fuckin’ Reed, baby.” I was so turned on I could feel wetness in my panties.
“Then I want to be fucked by you. Actually fucked,” I begged. How I had gone from hating him to begging him for sex I didn’t know nor did I understand. I just wanted Talon and all his glory.
“You’re not ready, but when you are I’ll take you, and I’ll give you everything you want and desire.” He released his hold on my hip and pulled from my body, coldness immediately covering my body.
