A High so Sweet (Thornes & Roses #2) - Dani Rene Page 0,85
I would be your savior, and most of our lives together, I wasn’t, but for the first time, I feel like the hero.” He smiles at me, the brightness of his joy sinking into me, sending warmth coursing through my veins.
But his words have my brows creasing in confusion. “What are you talking about?”
He pulls away slowly, his expression turning serious, and I realize there’s more to what he just said than I thought. He settles in and sighs—long and deep—before he locks those teal orbs on me.
“You saved me. I was so lost, so broken for such a long time. And you were the one who saved me first.”
I remember him telling me that the night we met, he wanted to end his life, but I still don’t see myself as his heroine. I’m merely a girl who fell for the boy who stole her heart.
“Let’s call it even,” I tease as I leap up and wrap my legs around him. “We saved each other.” He smiles at my words, and his harsh grip on my ass confirms he needs me as much as I do him. “Cassian.” His name is a whimper of need as his mouth captures one of my nipples and sucks on it until my hips undulate beneath him. His teeth graze along the hardened bud, tugging until I’m crying out in pleasure.
My panties are torn from my hips with a bite of pain that causes me to wince, and suddenly, two fingers are deep inside me. Cassian presses against that spot, sending sparks through every nerve in my body and causing my toes to curl and my eyes to roll back.
“Fuck,” Cass growls against my skin as he trails his lips over to my other nipple and mimics the teasing that sends me soaring to the edge. My orgasm is just out of reach because the moment my body pulses around Cassian’s fingers, he slows his movements. A growl vibrates through his chest, my core throbs with the need to come. Those teal eyes stare up at me from between my thighs.
A cry of pure agony rips from my lips when he pulls his fingers from me to bring them to my lips. He paints my arousal over them before crashing his mouth over mine and licking at me as if I were the most deliciously decadent dessert he’s ever tasted.
“This is what I will spend my life ensuring you feel. Nothing will ever tear us apart,” he promises before his cock presses against my entrance. The hardness slowly dipping into me. My arousal ensures his movements are easy, and he slips inside, sending me into an abyss of pure euphoria that shoots through every inch of me.
He doesn’t move.
I snap my eyes open, meeting those gentle, affectionate eyes he’s always looked at me with. For years, I spent nights fantasizing about him above me, his body cocooning me, and for a moment, it’s almost dream-like.
“Hey,” Cassian says, bringing me out of my thoughts and into the present. “You’re mine.” It’s a promise I know he’ll forever remind me of because once he’s convinced himself of something, there’s no stopping him or changing his mind. “I love you, Kalyn, more than anything in this world.” His admission fills my heart with warmth and clogs my throat with emotion.
“I know because I love you too, Cassian.” A smile dances on my lips when he slides out, then slams back in, stealing my breath, forcing a gasp of need to fall from my lips. He does it again, then again, and by the fourth time, my body is shaking.
“You’re beautiful,” he whispers against my lips. “So, fucking beautiful, it hurts to look at you.” His words are a balm to my soul. I spent too long listening to a man who was happy to tell me how inadequate I was. Paulo convinced me I was worth nothing. Only when I was high did he ever want me.
“Cassian, please make me forget,” I plead, my hands cupping his cheeks, holding him steady as he stares at me. There’s no need for more words because our bodies move in sync. Cassian’s hips move back before we connect once more. The way he stretches me, opens me for his cock, has my toes curling and my nails scraping down his back until I hear him hiss.
“Fuck, little liar,” he growls, his lips brushing along mine as his tongue darts out and teases along the seam of my mouth. “I’m
