Forever, стр. 56

I should know better. He’s not having it. Brick grasps my face with his fingertips and turns me back to him.

He nips my bottom lip, then kisses the sting away. A single tear slips free and I’m so angry at myself. I push harder at his chest.

“Brick, stop,” I say weakly.

“You’re mine, Eva,” he growls. “You know damn fucking well how I feel about you. And stop calling me Brick before I spank your ass.”

I go from feeling sorry for myself to being pissed off. I reach to shove my hands in his hair. I wrap my legs around his waist and lock my ankles at the small of his back.

He growls as I start to rock my hips on him. He slides his hand lower to cup my ass. He squeezes my cheek and lifts me from the mattress. Just what I needed to take over.

I stare him in the eyes as I start to grind my hips and fuck him like I own him. His nostrils begin to flare like they always do when it’s getting really good for him. He grits his teeth as I drip all over him.

He’s never given me control like this and I’ve never tried to take it. I’m pissed but turned on by the power I have over him after feeling so helpless the last few days. I don’t take my eyes off his as I let all my emotions show. All my hurt, disappointment, and betrayal.

“Fuck,” he groans. “Damn, yes.”

“You like that?” I grunt. “Is this what you want? This is what I know O-wen.” I drag his name out. “I know you like fucking me. I know you can’t get enough of this pussy. That’s all I know.”

Brick growls loudly again. I’m shocked and more pissed off when he slaps the shit out of my ass. He grabs my waist and takes control, bringing me down on his shaft hard.

He arrests my lips in a searing kiss. “The fuck you say to me?” His breathing is harsh as it fans my lips. “I love you. I’m in… fucking… love with you. I’ve never loved anyone the way I love you. Not just your pussy, baby girl.”

He points to the center of my chest. “I love your heart.” He brushes my hair from my temple. “I love your mind.” He caresses my lip with his thumb. “I love your smile. I just love you, baby.”

I freeze, searching his eyes. It’s as if they are pleading with me to understand. I move my hands from his hair and cup his face. I noticed the small cut on his left cheek earlier. I run my finger right below it, allowing myself to care. He closes the distance to peck my lips.

“So, why are we hiding?” I whisper.

Owen sighs. “Eva, I want you wearing my brand as soon as I can get it on you. Things are fucked up. You know we did this wrong. I haven’t had a chance to tell King, but I have every intention to. I’m not giving you up. I told you that.”

“But you were only keeping me at your place as a favor. That hurt,” I say and watch his face for a reaction.

He frowns and reaches a hand into my hair. “King asked me to keep you with me, but not before I had already made up my mind to do so. You. Are. Mine,” he says huskily in between punctuating each word with kisses.

“You need to fix this, Owen.”

“Don’t tell me things I already know, baby girl.”

“Okay.” I nod and kiss him back. “Okay.”

“Okay, what, baby?” He groans as he starts to move me up and down on his length again.

“Okay, I love you, too. I’m yours.”

“Damn straight.” He gives me the sexiest grin. “You’re the one I need, Eva. You know you’re my woman. Don’t ever question that.”

A smile spreads across my face. I slide my fingers back into his hair. “Shut up and finish what you started,” I breathe against his lips.

“You sure that’s what you want?” he grunts teasingly.

“Yes,” I keen as he begins to thrust up into me.

“Damn, I’ve missed you. I’ll handle this shit. I don’t think I can handle not touching you,” he says through clenched teeth.

“Oh God, baby, I’m coming,” I gasp.

“Yes, baby girl, give me what I own.”

The rasp in his voice sends a shiver through me, sending me over. I give Owen all I have before I slump against his chest. I’ll have to ask about that scar later. Not that he’ll tell me. Something tells me it’s club business.

Owen

I cradle Eva to my chest as she slumps into me.

“I love you, baby girl,” I murmur and kiss the top of her head.

My heart swells at the thought of her saying it back only moments ago. From the moment I entered the room and saw her naked chocolate body stretched out on the bed, I needed to get my hands on her. I couldn’t think straight until I did.

I stripped right out of my suit and crawled between her thick thighs. I wanted to worship every part of her body. I must have licked and sucked on every inch of her before those pretty brown eyes opened to me. By then, I’d marked the sides of her breasts, inner thighs and ass with my mouth.

It was the only way I could mark and claim her the way I wanted to. It finally hit me hard. I love Eva.

Yeah, I said it. I love her. Finally, it’s no longer a thought. Saying it has made it as real as it gets. I don’t know how that shit snuck up on me, but I’ve fallen like a ton of bricks. She’s what I want, what I need, what I crave.

I turn onto my back and lie down, pulling her body over mine. I miss falling asleep with her in my arms. First thing in the morning, I plan to fix this.

I’m shoving shit on the pile, but
