Fifty-One
KAYLANI
The events in the restaurant were still fresh in my mind. I had hoped sleep might erase the images, but it would take a long time to unsee the wreckage.
Goran cupped my cheek, thumb brushing over my bottom lip.
“Are you okay?”
I leaned into his touch.
“Yes. Just thinking about everything that’s happened in such a short time. Despite all the insanity, I’m thankful we have each other.”
“We do.”
He stripped off his shirt and tossed it aside, and my tired, sore body forgot all about sleep. Every nerve ignited. When he pushed down his black fatigues and was suddenly naked, my thoughts stuttered to a halt.
“Let’s get you cleaned up,” he said, full of purpose.
“I don’t think anything can clean the dirty thoughts running through my mind right now.”
Goran’s eyes burned into mine. Possessive energy radiated off him in intoxicating waves. He had always been sexy, but now…this was a whole other level.
“The things you make me want to do to you.”
“No one is stopping you,” I purred.
“You’re trouble.”
He grabbed the front of my ruined dress, yanking it hard. The fabric tore down the middle, and I gasped as the last reminder of the person I never wanted to be fell to the floor.
“I’ve always been trouble.”
Goran kneeled before me, pulling my lacy underwear down with him, and making me squirm.
“That you have,” he said, standing and brushing his body against mine. “And I wouldn’t want you any other way.”
His hand slid around to the small of my back.
My heart thundered, loud enough to drown out the shower. With a feat of strength I would never comprehend, he lifted me with one arm and carried me into the warm spray.
I sighed as it hit my skin. I had never understood the concept of open showers before. No door, no curtain, it felt foreign, yet the twin showerheads and extra space were intoxicating.
He set me on my feet and grabbed the soap, lathering his hands until it was frothing between his fingers. How could something so mundane look so erotic when he did it?
By the time his hands touched me, I was practically panting. My body arched into every glide and caress. He didn’t miss a single spot, teasing me as he slipped his fingers gently between my legs.
“Turn around,” he ordered, voice gravelly.
A moan escaped as he pressed against me, his cock sliding easily between my ass cheeks.
“Close your eyes. Relax for me, Lani. I’ve got you,” he whispered in my ear.
I leaned my head back and shut my eyes, letting him take full control.
His fingers tweaked my nipples until I was a writhing mess.
He washed every inch of my body, then helped me rinse off.
I was caught in a torrent of sensation. Arousal and relaxation fought for dominance.
I wanted to explode and melt at the same time.
“You’re beautiful like this…no armor, no walls. Just mine.” His voice was rough, struggling to hold himself back. I wiggled against him, the fire beneath my skin demanding more.
“Don’t move.” He stepped back, and I shivered at the absence of his touch. “Turn slowly for me.”
One careful step at a time, I faced him, trailing my hands over my chest, stomach, and then between my thighs. His hand glided up and down his hard cock, and I couldn’t tear my eyes away.
“That’s it…fuck, you’re gorgeous. Spread your legs for me, Lani. Let me see what no other man will ever touch.”
“What would you do if they did?”
His face turned cold, murderous, muscles flexing as he closed the distance.
“Let’s just say that you’re the only thing in my life that could turn me into a monster.”
He dropped to his knees, and I sucked in a shuddering breath. His eyes lifted to mine, and he licked his lips.
“Every man who’s ever looked at you like he had a right…I remember their faces,” he growled before flicking his tongue over my clit.
A shudder ran through me, and my hands tangled in his hair.
“Please, Goran, don’t stop.”
He gripped my ass, pulling me closer while his finger slid inside of me. He knew my body so well, curling the digit just right to hit that sweet spot.
“Goran…yes.”
“That’s it, Lani…come for me. Let me hear you scream my name.” His voice rolled through my body as my hips rocked against his hot mouth. His eyes locked with mine, I whimpered, pinching my nipples as he lifted my leg over his shoulder, plunging his finger deeper.
“You taste so fucking good.”
He sucked my clit into his mouth. My head fell back as I bucked against him, screaming his name until my voice was hoarse.
My legs were trembling uncontrollably by the time he was done. His tongue traced a slow path up my legs, over my stomach, all the way to my breasts. He sucked one hard peak into his mouth, and I jerked in his hold, each pull sending electrical currents racing through my body.
He gave the other the same treatment, then nipped lightly at my neck.
I clung to his shoulders, positive I would fall if I didn’t hold on.
“I fucking crave you more than my last breath. If I had to choose between you for one more night or living forever, I would choose you every time. There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do to keep you now that you’re mine.”
But it was what he didn’t say that spoke the loudest.
His eyes promised to murder anyone who tried to come between us. That alone should have terrified me after everything I had seen him do tonight.
But it didn’t.
“I need you inside of me,” I begged.
Goran was not just a man. He was something else entirely. Something that couldn’t be defined by a single word. The way he looked at me made me feel seen. He owned every part of me. My heart. My mind. My soul.
And I was never letting him go.
He picked me up and pushed me against the tile wall. The cold shocked my skin, but I liked it. Goran rubbed his hard cock along my pussy, and my core tightened in anticipation.
“You need me?” He teased the tip into my entrance, but refused to push deeper.
“Yes.” I nodded, desperate to feel him spread me open and fill me. “Goran, pl….”
The rest of the sentence died in my throat as he drove into me in one long thrust. I cried out as I stretched around him.
“Fuck…you’re so wet. So tight,” he ground out through clenched teeth. “You’re going to make me come.”
His cock twitched, threatening to do just that. His face looked pained with the effort it took to hold himself back, and something utterly delicious about the way his brow furrowed in concentration made heat gather low in my belly. I rolled my hips slowly on his hard shaft.
“Fuck, Lani…” His body tensed.
“Fuck me. Fuck me, Goran,” I moaned in his ear.
“You undo me,” he groaned, gripping my hips harder. Then he slammed into me over and over again. There was no restraint. I bounced hard on his cock as he moved with a feral growl, the act so primal, so unhinged. I shattered around him, craving the moment he fell apart.
“Fuck…yes,” I screamed, clinging to him as he continued driving into me.
I felt alive. I felt loved. I felt desired.
We had started as friends. Him too old for me. But I always knew, someday he would be mine. I loved him then. I loved him now. And I always would.
With every thrust, our fate was sealed.
He might be lethal, but if another woman ever touched him, she would never be found.
“Lani,” Goran roared, the sound echoing off the tiles and ripping another orgasm from my body. “Fuck yes. Come on my cock.”
My core clenched around him as another wave tore through me. Stars exploded behind my eyes as I screamed his name.
Goran froze, every muscle in his body flexed under my hands as he came. He pulled out a few inches before thrusting back in again, over and over, chasing the last wave of his release.
Finally, he stilled, holding me as we both panted, our foreheads pressed together.
“God, I fucking love you,” Goran breathed.
“I fucking love you too.”
Later, when we were lying in bed with me curled in his arms, all I could think about was how close I had come to losing everything that I loved. I shivered at the thought.
Goran, misreading it, reached down and pulled another blanket over us.
I was just drifting off when his voice brushed my ear.
“I need you to know, Lani. You’re the only thing in this world that can make me gentle. And the only thing that can make me twice as dangerous. Now rest. I’ve got you.”
My lip curved up as sleep finally claimed me.
