Against the Rules by Ella Goode Page 0,30

sure of anything in my life. I may not have known it, but now that he’s inside me there’s no question.

He’s saved it for me too. That makes it so much more special. I thought we were both a little crazy. Maybe it’s that crazy that pulls us together. The reason we are meant for one another.

“Finn.” I dig my fingers into his back as he pushes up against the barrier that is keeping us apart. I watch his face which shows his inner battle. He’s scared to hurt me. “Finn.” I say his name again, slipping my arms around his neck. “It’s fine,” I say, encouraging him to take me. I lift up, brushing my mouth against his. “It’s keeping us apart. You have to do it. For us.”

He claims my mouth in understanding as he presses the rest of the way inside me. The sharp pain is intense but quickly starts to fade away as Finn makes love to my mouth with his.

“Lucia.” He pulls his mouth from mine as I try to lift my hips. “Tell me you’re okay.” He kisses both of my cheeks before his mouth is back on mine before I can answer. Not that I need to anyway. I'm more than okay.

I’m lost to him. The only thing I know is that I want all of him. I love that he can’t keep his mouth off me. I’m pretty sure I love everything about Finn, in fact.

I try to lift my hips again, but get nowhere. It’s clear being pinned under him that I’m not going anywhere unless he wants me to. That thought only makes the new throb that is forming deep inside of me start to grow more. He is going to make me come again. I had no idea that it would be this way. That I could orgasm so soon again after the last.

“I need more.” He shifts, pulling out and pushing back in. I gasp, my back coming off the bed.

“It’s like you’re everywhere.” I wrap my legs around him never wanting to lose this connection.

“Good, I want to be on every part of you. You won’t know where I begin and you end.” I feel myself clench around him. I want that too. I’ve never felt so close to someone in my whole life and I never want to let it go.

I tighten the grip my legs have around him, encouraging him to give me everything. He groans before allowing himself to finally let go.

I watch as he continues to push into me. With each thrust he strokes something deep inside of me, bringing me closer to what my body needs. I stare up at him, wondering how I’ve only known this man for such a short time and how he knows how to work my body in ways I never even imagined were possible.

“So tight. So perfect. I’ll never get enough.”

“Finn. I’m going to-“ I close my eyes tight, feeling like I’m going to explode.

“Open them. I want to see it. It’s mine.” He growls. My eyes snap open to lock with his and I cry out his name as the orgasm takes hold of me. It’s deeper than the last. I feel it roll through my whole body.

Finn groans over me as he spills deep inside of me. His warmth marks the deepest parts of me as his. A place no one else has or ever will be. Even if fate pulls us apart I would never share this with another. Our connection could never be duplicated. If I couldn’t have him for some reason, I wouldn’t want anyone at all.

Finn buries his face in my neck, his warm breath tickling my skin. Those three words are in my throat. They threaten to spill from my lips. I so badly want to say them.

The only thing holding me back is fear. Not for myself but for Finn. If I give him those words it won’t be so easy to walk away from him if I have to. He would never let me if he knew I loved him. Even if it were to protect him. I might have to one day for his own good. Isn’t that what you do for the ones you love? There is no doubt now in my mind that I love Finn.

“I love you,” he says against my skin. I close my eyes again. My eyes sting with tears. I’m not sure if they are happy tears or sad ones.

“I
