Lili #2
Landon shouldered between us and tugged me forward. Thankfully, a moment later, we were in the corridor leading to the locker rooms. The sound of the crowd went from earsplitting to a dull roar.
There were other fighters around, talking and laughing. I made a beeline straight to the room I knew Cole used.
The door was ajar. I saw him—still in his boxing shorts, skin gleaming with sweat. He was yanking the wraps off his hands.
As soon as I stepped inside, his head lifted. He looked at me, before flicking a glance at Landon.
Then I heard the door close behind me and I knew Landon was gone.
I crossed the room. I saw the red line of the cut on his shoulder, and some swelling on his cheek along with a smudge of blood. A bruise was already forming on his side, over his ribs.
“Are you all right? I knew Anton wouldn’t fight fair. When I saw that knife—”
“I’m fine.”
I rolled my eyes and stepped in front of him. I lifted my hand and stroked it over his cheek. I used my thumb to brush away the blood. “Your cut needs to be cleaned.”
He was quiet, his head bowed, his gaze on my face. “Not what I need from you right now, sunshine.”
My heart started hammering. Heat squirmed through my belly.
Then I reached up and yanked his head down to mine.
His lips hit mine, forcing my mouth open. His tongue plunged inside and the wild taste of him hit me hard. I whimpered, and he let out a sound that was part groan, part growl.
His hands gripped my waist, lifting me off my feet. I wrapped my legs around his waist, kissing him like this was the last kiss I’d get. My hands clenched in his hair.
My back hit the cool wall, his big body pinning me there. He used one hand to shove the skirt of my dress up, then I felt his fingers grip the side of my panties.
With one jerk of his wrist, he tore them off me.
My belly clenched, my entire body quivering with need.
I bit his bottom lip. “Cole.”
His big hand was between our bodies, fingers dragging through my slick folds. “So fucking wet for me.”
“Yes.” I rocked against him.
Then he was pushing his shorts out of the way.
With a deep grunt, he thrust inside me.
I cried out at the sudden, thick intrusion, the back of my head hitting the wall. There was a lot of him and he stretched me to the limit.
“Fuck. So tight.” His voice was so deep, I could barely make out the words.
“Cole, move. Please.”
He pulled back and thrust again. It drove the air from my lungs. I gripped his shoulders and squeezed my legs tightly against his sides.
“Too rough,” he gritted out.
“No.” I kissed him again, biting his bottom lip. “I’m not delicate.”
With a growl, he slammed inside me. He thrust, over and over, filling me.
Yes. I was pinned there, holding on as tightly as I could. He was taking me—hard and rough. I was crying out his name, pleasure coursing through me in a blinding rush.
His hand moved between us and he found my clit. I jerked against him. I was stretched around his thick cock, his thumb circling my swollen clit.
“Cole…” My climax tore through me, so fast and intense, all I could do was scream his name. It poured through every cell of my body.
His big hands cupped the bare cheeks of my ass. He took one step away from the wall, holding me up. Then he jerked me up and down violently on his cock. His grunts echoed in my ears.
I cried out again, a second orgasm taking me by surprise. Cole threw his head back, the muscles in his neck straining. With a roar, he slammed me back against the wall, his cock lodging deep as he roared through his own release.
All I could do was hold onto him and listen to the rasp of our breathing.
I didn’t feel like the same woman. I felt changed. I pressed my face to his, wanting to absorb everything he was.
Then, our breathing evened out.
Cole eventually lifted his head. His face looked so serious. “Lili…”
I smiled. I smiled at him with everything I was feeling. I was safe, I’d just been well fucked and had come hard. For the first time in my life, I was gloriously happy.
The serious leaked out of his face. “I wasn’t too rough?”
“You were magnificent.” I licked my lips, loving the way his gaze locked on my mouth. “I’m hoping we can do that again soon.”
A rough chuckle broke from him. “I’d planned our first time to be a little slower, and in a bed.”
“I wasn’t in the mood for that. I was stressed and worried, but I really liked watching you fight.”
“I could tell. You were so wet for me.”
I felt heat in my cheeks, but I was too happy to feel embarrassed.
Gently, he pulled back, his cock slipping free. He set me on my feet and righted his shorts. That’s when I noted just how wet I was between my legs.
Because Cole had come inside me.
I gripped the skirt of my dress and shifted on my feet.
Of course, Cole read me like a book.
“Stay there.” He went to his duffel bag and returned with a pack of wet wipes. He pulled one out, then knelt at my feet.
My heart skipped a beat. For a second, his image wavered and I saw him as a knight, covered in the gore of battle, kneeling before his queen.
He pushed the skirt of my dress up and wiped between my thighs.
“Didn’t use a rubber. You on the Pill?”
I shook my head and bit my lip.
“Landon can sort that out for you. If you want.”
I nodded. “It’s not the right part of my cycle, so I don’t think we need to worry.”
He lifted his chin. “I should have taken care of you.”
I smiled. “You did. There was no way what we just did wasn’t happening.”
He rose and cupped my chin. “If you get pregnant, I’ll take care of you.”
I fought back a tremble. I wish he meant that in other ways. That he wanted to take care of me…forever. “I know.”
“I’m clean. Haven’t fucked anyone since my last physical.”
“I am too.”
His thumb ran over my lips. “Damn, I want to fuck you again.”
That gave me a giddy thrill. I really wanted that too. “Then let’s get out of here.”
With a nod, he pulled on a long-sleeved Henley and a pair of jeans, then packed the rest of his gear. He slung the duffel bag over one shoulder.
“Thanks for fighting Anton for me.”
“It was my pleasure, sunshine. In more ways than one.” He slipped his other arm across my shoulders. “The next time I have my cock inside you, it’s going to be slow, Lili.”
My heart did a little jump. “I can get onboard with that.”
It was weird that even with my life in chaos, I felt the happiest I’d ever been.
