explains, and I grin as I stick my tongue out, and he laughs, placing the tablet on my tongue. It tastes like strawberries as he leans over me and I wrap my legs around his waist. Henry kisses me softly as he pushes easily inside of me with one thrust, and it hurts far more than I thought it would do. I gasp, but the pain instantly drifts away as Henry kisses me, and I thank angel healing for that. With Henry inside me, everything feels so perfect and complete that I can’t think of anything but him. He kisses me like he is trying to find my soul, and I give him everything I can, because he had it from the second we met. Even if he was a jerk…I kinda liked him. Slowly pleasure builds up inside me, and every time Henry thrusts into me, it gets stronger.
As I get closer, my moans get louder, and Henry picks up speed. “I fucking love you, Kaitlyn Lightson.”
“Oh god—” I moan as I tighten around him, coming harder than the first time. “Henry!” I all but scream his name as I feel him spill inside me, and his lips cover mine, swallowing my cries. In a happy daze, he softly kisses me one more time, and we grin at each other. The mating bond kicks into life between us, and a white glow covers our bodies for a moment as we stare at each other in shock. Like ivy wrapping around my heart, I sense Henry in my soul in a way I could never explain.
He is mine.
And I will forever be his.
“I fucking love you too.” I repeat his words, and he laughs before kissing me once more and spending the night showing me exactly how much he loves me.
Chapter 41
Warm sunlight beams down my hand on Henry’s chest, and I smile at the simple enjoyment of the moment as I slowly wake up. I move my hand to trace circles on Henry’s chest, and his hand covers mine as I look up, lifting my head from his shoulder.
“Morning, mate,” he gruffly says, clearing his throat once, making me notice the bite marks that are nearly healed. “I think we need—” he starts, but the door banging open, smacking across the floor as it comes off its hinges, distracts us. I tug the blanket over me as I meet Ren’s burning red eyes, seeing how very pissed off he is.
“Outside. Now!” he shouts at me, but I don’t flinch or reply to him as he storms out the room. I’m not scared of Ren anymore...and I doubt I ever will be again. That time has passed between us, and for the first time, I want to stand up to him. I will not be weak, silly little Kaitlyn again. I know who I am now, and I won’t be a fool anymore.
“I will—” Henry starts, but I kiss him. After gently brushing my lips against his, I climb out the bed with the sheet, leaving Henry lying there naked.
“Ren is my problem, and I will talk with him. He won’t hurt me,” I say, gathering my clothes. I quickly use Henry’s shower and brush my teeth with a spare toothbrush I find under the sink. After brushing my hair and getting dressed, I come back out into the bedroom where Henry is sitting on the edge of the bed in shorts.
“He won’t hurt you, I know that. If I doubted it, I would follow you outside,” he warns, and I have no doubt he means it. I kiss him once more before leaving his room and stepping over the door on my way. “Just remember he has been through a lot, and he is reacting like a jealous mate. He doesn’t mean it.”
God, Henry loves Ren a little too much, and I doubt he will ever see Ren as the bad guy in this.
I used to think the same when he was my ghost friend.
“Sorry about the door!” I shout back to Henry, hearing his laugh behind me as I go down the stairs. The front door is open, and as I walk out, I see Ren right away. He stands under a tree nearby, his arms crossed, his whole body tense. Everything about him screams anger and jealousy...and he has no right to be.
We aren’t together, and he has stolen everything from me without so much as a second thought. I storm right up to him and press
