Instead of pushing him now, I grab his shirt and hold on to him, not wanting him to walk away. “Why did you stop then? This morning, I was more than willing. I would have probably begged you for it, but you said no.”
He leans his head forward against mine. “Because I want you to trust me. I don’t want to take anything from you until you’re ready.”
My hands slide to his shoulders, and every muscle under my palm bunches. “I do trust you.”
He shakes his head, searching my eyes. “But you won’t tell me what you’re running from.”
I go rigid. “Is that really why you stopped? You think I don’t trust you?”
He pulls back to search my eyes. It’s obvious he’s trying to be calm with me, but the strength and tautness of his jaw tells me he feels anything but. “If you did, you’d talk to me.”
I move my hands from his shoulders to the sides of his neck. His pulse is pounding under my palm. “The reason I haven’t told you is because I care about you, and I don’t want you to get hurt. The men… the men I’m running from are dangerous.”
His hands come up and cup my face. “Hold up. You haven’t told me because you want to protect me?”
I nod my head. I know it sounds ridiculous. Hudson is a military hero. Obviously, he can take care of himself. I lean into him. “I know you can handle yourself, Huddy. I’m not saying that. I’m saying if you did get hurt—because of me—I couldn’t live with myself. You just got home and—”
He cuts me off. “Stop. Just stop. You don’t get it. Whether you tell me or not, I’m not going to let anything happen to you. When these men come, I’m going to be right by your side. Nothing will stop me from protecting you.”
I lean my head against his chest. His words are a soothing balm. I completely messed this up. “Okay, so how about this? Tonight, you finish what you started. Tomorrow, I tell you everything.”
I barely get the words out and Huddy has me held against his chest and up in his arms.
He growls as he stomps across the floor to his bedroom. It’s only when we’re next to the bed that he presses his lips to mine. The kiss is savage. Our lips, teeth, and tongues mash against each other in a frenzy. When he pulls away, I’m panting.
“Take your clothes off.”
“No.”
He looks at me with surprise, and I continue. “It’s my turn, Huddy. I want what you wouldn’t give me this morning.”
His hands go to my shoulders, and he squeezes. He laughs, but it sounds strangled. “You don’t know what you’re asking.” He puts a finger at my mouth and traces my lips. “I won’t last a second with your lips wrapped around my cock. I want to come here.”
He reaches between my legs with his other hand and cups my mound. Like a magnetic pull, my hips thrust toward him, but I stay strong. I wrench away from his hold and fall to my knees. “Let me do this, Huddy.”
He threads his hands through my hair. “Fuck, baby. I can’t tell you no. Ever again.”
I undo the button on his jeans and pull down the zipper. I’m about to pull his pants down when he stops me. “Shit. Wait.”
He undoes his boots and kicks them across the room before standing in front of me again. I don’t waste any time. I pull them down his legs and sit back on my butt in awe. “Uhm… uh, Huddy.”
He reaches down and wraps his hand around his already hard cock and strokes himself from root to tip. “Yeah, baby?”
“That’s not going to fit.”
He seems to grow in size, and I stare at him with wide eyes. “Oh, it will fit. I’ll be easy.” He releases his hold on himself and puts his hands on his hips.
His cock is standing straight up as if it’s pointing at me. There’s a drop of precum at his tip, and I lean in, swiping it with my tongue. He groans, and his head falls back. There’s no denying he likes my touch.
I wrap my hand around his girth and stroke him. I kiss his tip before opening my mouth and sliding my tongue along his length.
I take him in my mouth and moan as he hits the back of my throat.
He reaches for my dress and pulls at it. “Off.”
I lean back just enough to pull my dress off, and he reaches for my back to undo my bra. When he unclasps it, I let the straps fall down my shoulders. He cups my breast and squeezes my nipple between his fingers.
When I reach up to cup his balls, he can’t handle it. He pulls me up off the floor. He’s stepping out of his pants, and as soon as his legs are free, he’s pulling my underwear down my legs. Everything is happening so fast, but I don’t want it to slow down.
