Chapter 44
BELLA
He presses his lips against mine, softly now, bringing me back to him.
“Can I sleep here? With you?”
He chuckles against my lips.
“That’s what I wanted the day you arrived, remember? My wife in my bed.”
I close my eyes as he rests his forehead against mine.
“Wanting us both isn’t wrong, Bella. But all I ask is if you’re in my bed, you’re with me, fully and completely. I’m yours, Princess. I just need you to give me a chance to show you who I can be for you.”
I cup his cheek, and he relaxes into my touch. Even something so small is a big deal for us. It proves my ice-cold Reggie is thawing.
And somehow, he’s taming me. He’s giving me a place where I belong. Where I don’t have to fight anymore.
“We both have a lot to figure out about ourselves, Irish. I’ll give you the chance if you give me the same in return.”
He nods but doesn’t look at me.
“You going to snuggle me to sleep then?” I ask, trying to lighten the mood.
Even if it weighs heavy with me. I push any thoughts of anything else other than this beast of a man.
“Bet your fine ass I am. I do have a request, though.”
He sits up, his hand wrapping around his cock.
“What’s that, baby?” I ask innocently.
“Your mouth around my dick before I explode.”
“Are you going to fuck my face?” I tease, batting my lashes.
He nods with a sly grin.
“Until you cry for me, gorgeous.”
My mouth drops open. Fuck. That’s hot.
