Chapter Forty-Six
MELLIE
I’ve barely gotten the key into the lock before Ronin forces the door wide open, ushering me inside my tiny apartment before kicking the door closed and spinning us around. His body crowds me and he pins me against the wall, his chest flush against mine.
“I’m sure you’ve got a ton of things to do, like packing and shit. But right now, I am about to give you multiple of your so-called earth-shattering orgasms.” His lips find my neck, his mouth liquid fire against my heated skin.
“Mmmhmm. Packing can wait. More about those orgasms, please.” My eyes flutter shut as he licks up my throat, and he nips at my jaw before capturing my mouth with his.
Fucking hell. My boyfriend is so hot.
Ronin’s touch sets me on absolute fire, but somehow at the same time, he also makes me feel like the most cherished and treasured thing on the planet. His hands are gentle even as his mouth ravages mine.
He pulls away from our kiss, grazing his heated mouth down the side of my neck until he reaches my collarbone. There, Ronin steps back, yanking my T-shirt up over my head and tossing it somewhere behind him. He drops to his knees before me and my entire body turns liquid molten.
I love this man so damn much. The sight of him kneeling in front of me will be seared into my brain for the rest of my life.
Gently, Ronin pulls down the waistband of my leggings, tugging them over my hips and slowly peeling them off each leg.
He handles me with such care, like I’m breakable and precious.
My breath catches in my throat as he tosses the leggings aside and places a kiss on each of my hipbones.
The low-slung panties I have on are next to go, and as he pulls them down he lowers a kiss right on my center.
My hands find his hair and I grip hard, forcing his gaze to meet mine. “I love you so fucking much.”
His pupils dilate, eyes darkening as he lifts one of my legs over his shoulder. “I love you too, baby.”
His tongue thrusts into me and my head falls back against the wall, eyes shut.
All of my sensations are on high alert, and the way Ronin’s tongue slides in and out of me has my remaining knee buckling and my pulse pounding in my ears.
My skin feels tight but in the absolute best, mind-numbing way.
He works me with his tongue before sliding a finger inside, and a tiny whimper escapes my throat.
I’ve missed him so much, missed this so much. Feeling close to him, being intimate and sharing my body with him—all of it. When he slides a second finger into me, it doesn’t take long before my orgasm rocks through my body, adrenaline pumping through my veins as I come hard, gasping for breath.
Then Ronin’s lips are on mine again and I can taste the saltiness of his tears on my tongue as he kisses me, murmuring soft praises and sweet sayings in between breaths. “I love you,” “I’m yours,” and “you’re so fucking beautiful,” tumble from him one after the other.
He sweeps me up into his arms and carries me into my dark bedroom, sitting me on my bed.
My head falls back against my pillow as he kicks off his shoes, tracking his movements as he shucks off his jeans.
He rips his shirt over his head and climbs over me.
“Mel,” he murmurs against my skin as he rests his forehead on my chest. “You make me feel like the luckiest man alive. I am the luckiest man alive.”
My hands run up his bare back and he shivers under my touch.
“I think maybe we can call it even on the lucky scale,” I whisper.
“Deal.”
I capture his mouth with mine while my hands find the waist of his boxers. Slipping inside, my fingers wrap around his hard length and I pump him a few times, squeezing gently, before pulling his boxers down for him to kick off to the side.
Reaching under me, Ronin unclasps my bra, letting it fall away as his mouth lowers to my breast, taking my nipple between his lips.
I want him inside of me, now. I need that feeling of completion that only comes when our bodies become one.
I want to feel him, all of him, for the first time without any barriers.
I tell him this and he stills, hovering over me.
“You’re sure?” His forehead is etched with concern.
“Completely positive,” I reply, a hand cupping his face. “I’m on the pill, and I trust you a hundred percent. Besides, I’m in this for life, remember? Just me and you.”
The echo of his words being said back to him all these years later has Ronin’s eyes filling once more, his throat bobbing heavily as he swallows. “Just me and you, baby.”
And then he slides into me, fitting into my body like I was made for him, and he for me.
Maybe we were. Maybe this was fate’s plan all along. Whatever brought us together doesn’t matter anymore. Ronin is my home. My person, my best friend, the love of my life.
Our bodies are soon slick with sweat as our movement becomes more hurried.
He thrusts in and out, hitching one of my legs up higher so he can take me deeper.
He slams into the hilt, hitting that spot that makes me cry out, louder than I’ve ever been before.
It spurns him on, and he fucks me harder, pushing me into the bed, slamming into me over and over.
Him bare inside of me feels so fucking good, and suddenly I’m on the brink of falling, teetering on the edge, hanging on by a thread.
I can’t hold it back any longer, and my vision goes dark as I shatter around him.
Ronin comes with me, his release pumping into me as he coaxes every last bit of my orgasm from my body.
Breathing hard, he slides in and out slowly, both of us coming down from the high of our climax, and my over-stimulated body shivers as he pulls out one last time.
“You’re so beautiful,” Ronin whispers, his fingers gently brushing hair out of my face. “And I can’t wait to start our lives together.”
My arms wrap around his neck and I lean forward to place a sticky kiss on his chest. “Let’s go home.”
