I—” I blush.
“Don’t be, angel,” he groans deeply, moving towards me.
“How…” I swallow. “How are you here?”
“Because nothing could stop me from finding you,” he growls.
I swallow, my skin tingling.
“What were you saying?”
“When?”
“In the mirror, to yourself,” he grins.
My face burns hot.
“Nothing.”
“Tell me,” he says gently as he moves closer.
“It’s nothing, really,” I say quickly.
“You were talking about you and I.”
I frown. “How—”
His eyes blaze into mine, and I bite my lip.
“Yeah, I was.”
“More than what?”
“More than just… you know.”
“You think because I’ve been locked in a cage for two years, that this is just desperation?”
“The thought had crossed my mind,” I say quietly.
He frowns. “No, angel. It’s not. You…” he shakes his head. “You’re the first good I’ve known in a very, very long time—since before I came here, even. I’ve been in this cage for two years, yes. But I was in a cage I built myself long before here.”
His eyes blaze into mine, stealing my breath away.
“You’re the first real good I’ve seen in maybe my entire life,” he growls.
He steps closer to me, and I shiver as I stand to face him.
“How did you break out?”
“Someone got sloppy, I was ready.”
“You could have run,” I whisper. “You could have gotten out of here.”
“No, I couldn’t have,” he growls. “Not without you.”
My heart beats faster, and my eye search his face.
“I—I can’t stop thinking about you,” I breathe.
“I’ve never stopped thinking about you since the moment I laid eyes on you,” he purrs.
He moves closer, and my heart races as my pulse thunders through my ears. His hands slide over my hips, and I whimper. Hush groans.
“Fuck, my hands missed you.”
“Everything about me missed you,” I breathe.
“Everything?” he purrs.
“Everything,” I say quietly, heat pooling between my legs.
He growls, leans down, and suddenly, I’m kissing him. Suddenly, I’m kissing my beast.
He sweeps me into his arms, his huge arms utterly surrounding me in his muscled warmth. I gasp, and my hands slide over his chest, down to his grooved abs, and my body presses hotly into him. He growls, kissing me harder, and deeper. His hands slide over me, and I moan as I feel him start to grip my nightgown. I know he could shred it off of me, and part of me wants him to. But instead, he starts to pull it up.
I raise my arms, feeling free and wild and scared at the same time. He tugs it off of me and tosses it away, and suddenly, I’m naked in front of him. His eyes slide slowly over every single inch of me, like he’s memorizing my skin. It’s agonizingly slow, the way his eyes drink in inch after inch of me, and I blush and I go to cover myself, but he stops me.
“Don’t ever hide yourself from me,” he says quietly. “Fuck, you are so fucking beautiful. An angel.”
I gasp as he sweeps me into his arms again, and this time, I whimper as he picks me up. My legs slide around his hips, and I’m aware of how shameless it is to be without a stitch of clothing on, legs spread around this man. But I don’t care. I can feel his abs rippling against my thighs, and my pussy presses to his muscled torso. He growls into my lips, bruising them with his fierce kiss as I moan for more.
Hush carries me across the room, and suddenly, I’m draped across my big, four-post bed. I gasp, curling my legs up under me, but he grunts and grabs my ankles. Without a word, his eye locked on mine, he starts to spread my legs wide open. I blush fiercely, and my hands go to cover my pussy, but he shakes his head again.
“No, beautiful, let me see. Let me see how pretty that gorgeous pussy is.”
I whimper as I pull my hands away, and for the first time, a man has his eyes on me there. He leans close, and when his lips kiss my ankle, I gasp quietly. He kisses the other one, and then his lips begin to move slowly up my calf, and I whimper. There’s something so fucking sexy about this hulking beast of a man being so tender and slow. Maybe it’s that I know he could just pin me to the bed and have his fucking way with me— that he could fuck me and claim me anyway he pleases, and I’d be helpless to do a thing about it. But yet, here he is, being
