I ran my fingers through the sweat-damp roots of his hair. ”I missed you, too.”

He nuzzled my br**sts. ”When you're not with me, I feel - Don't run anymore, Eva. I can't take it.”

He pulled me up to stand in front of him, keeping his c**k in me until the soles of my heels touched the hardwood floor. ”Come home with me now.”

”I can't leave Cary.”

”Then we'll drag him out of here with us. Shh...Before you complain, whatever he hopes to get out of this party, I can make happen. Being here accomplishes nothing.”

”Maybe he's having fun.”

”I don't want you here.” He suddenly seemed distant, his tone far too controlled.

”Do you know how badly it hurts me when you say that?” I cried softly, my chest tight with the pain of it. ”What's wrong with me that you don't want me around your family?”

”Angel, no.” He hugged me, his hands roaming my back in soothing caresses. ”There's nothing wrong with you. It's this place. I don't - I can't be here. You want to know what's in my dreams? It's this house.”

”Oh.” My stomach knotted with worry and confusion. ”I'm sorry. I didn't know.”

Something in my voice lured him to press a kiss between my eyebrows. ”I've been rough with you today. I'm sorry. I'm edgy and agitated being here, but that's no excuse.”

I cupped his face and stared into his eyes, seeing the tumultuous emotions he was so used to hiding. ”Don't ever apologize for being yourself with me. It's what I want. I want to be your safe place, Gideon.”

”You are. You don't know how much, but I'll find a way to tell you.” He rested his forehead against mine. ”Let's go home. I bought some things for you.”

”Oh? I love gifts.” Especially when they came from my self-professed unromantic boyfriend.

Cautiously, he began to pull out of me. I was shocked to feel how wet I was, how copiously he'd come. The final few inches of his c**k slid out in a rush and se**n slicked my inner thighs. A moment later, two audacious droplets fell to the hardwood floor between my spread legs.

”Oh, s.h.i.+t.” He groaned. ”That's so d.a.m.n hot. I'm getting hard again.”

I stared at the brazen display of his virility and felt warm. ”You can't go again after that.”

”h.e.l.l if I can't.” Cupping my s.e.x in his hand, he rubbed the slickness all over me, coating the outer lips and ma.s.saging it into the folds. Euphoria spread through me like the warmth of fine liquor, a sense of contentment that came solely from the knowledge that Gideon found gratification in me and my body.

”I'm an animal with you,” he murmured. ”I want to mark you. I want to possess you so completely there's no separation between us.”
