As he says it, he grips my hips and slides inside me. My eyes flutter shut as my back arches, my body stretching to accommodate him. I feel so full but in the most amazing way.
“You feel like heaven, angel.” Axel pulls out and thrusts back in again, starting to fuck me properly. With every stroke, the hot coil of pleasure inside me tightens until I swear I’ll explode. My nails scrabble at the worktop as Axel owns my body so completely I know every word he said is true.
I am his in every way possible.
“Oh, God, Axel!” I pant as he adjusts the angle, pulling my body closer to his so my legs dangle further over the edge of the counter. With every thrust, his pelvis rocks against my clit.
“That’s it, angel, come all over my cock,” he encourages, and I can’t fight the bliss crashing into me.
As I come, Axel leans over me, pushing as deep as he can go, and slams our lips together. I feel him come as I do, which only drives my own pleasure higher.
For a long minute, neither of us move. Axel’s weight and warmth on me are comforting, and I feel bone-deep contentment I’ve never experienced before.
He plants a sweet kiss on my lips, like a promise passing between us, and stands. We clean up quickly, and when my stomach growls, I blush bright red, making Axel laugh.
“Come on, angel. Let’s get you fed now, huh?” he says, instructing me to sit on the sofa while he heats our pasta before coming to join me.
It’s so normal, so domestic, that it makes my heart grow. I want a life like this. Full of the feeling he gives me.
But in order for us to get that, we’ll have to fight for it.
“So,” I start, stabbing a piece of pasta, “what’s the update?”
Axel sighs, but to his credit, he doesn’t keep secrets. “We’re working on eliminating all the threats to your safety.”
You shouldn’t find the fact he’s hurting people for you hot! I think, but damn it, I do. Knowing Axel would go to the ends of the Earth to keep me safe is a heady feeling.
“This is delicious, angel,” Axel says, but when I just pin him with a look, he gives in and gets back to the question at hand. “There’s just one more serious threat left to deal with. The leader has hated me for a long time, and this situation has pushed him over the edge. We’ll find him before anything happens. I won’t let anything hurt you.”
As much as I hate knowing there’s still someone out there who’s after my head, I trust Axel to keep me safe.
I smile up at him, meeting his eyes. “I know you will.”

AXEL
The ringing of my phone wakes me up like a slap to the face. It’s pitch black, and when I grab the shrieking device, I see that it’s two in the morning. Nobody would call me this late if it wasn’t an emergency.
Instantly, I’m fully awake, adrenaline already pumping through my body as I slip out of bed, careful not to disturb the sleeping angel beside me.
The second I swipe to answer, Jace’s voice fills my ears.
“We found them, Boss,” he says straight to the point.
I’m already tugging on clothes, the plain black outfit we always wear on missions like this. I slip out of the bedroom and jog to the storage room where we keep our weapons and vests. Putting Jace on speaker, I load up on everything I need and tug on a bulletproof vest and black mask that obscures the bottom half of my face.
“Send me the location and meet me there,” I tell him. “We need to hit them hard. They can’t get away.”
“Understood.”
We hang up, and when I exit the storage room, I nearly run into Nick. I’m never alone, and ever since Ava arrived, I’ve made sure there are always other people here to protect her.
“I woke up when I heard you running about,” he explains, and I quickly fill him in on what’s happening.
“Stay here and protect my girl at all costs,” I demand. I hate to leave her, but I know it’s to keep her safe. If we can take these guys down, she’ll be free to live a life without fear. If all goes well, I’ll be back before she’s awake with good news to wish her good morning.
Nick nods, grabbing a gun and shoving it in his waistband. He knows better than to be trusted to watch the thing that’s most precious to me in the entire world unarmed.
With one last nod in his direction, I rush out to my bike.
I ignore the speed limit, the engine revving and dust flying up behind me. I skid to a stop and dismount at the meeting place, yanking my helmet off and greeting my men who are waiting for me already.
