Layla, He breathed out, his body still shaking from the aftermath. I’m sorry, I can’t stay away from it, I can’t. I bit my lip as my heart swelled in agony, he couldn’t stop the revenge. That was what made him so strong. I’m going to drag you down with me.
No, I whispered and wrapped my arms around his neck, burying my face into him. No, you won’t.
I will, I made a promise. I can’t stop, you deserve so much better.
I started crying again, scared of his words. Was he leaving me ? No, he couldn’t. I pulled away from him and slapped him across his face. Colton looked shocked, but he seemed to snap out of it.
You can’t leave me ! I told you I loved you. Don’t hurt me after I said it, please don’t.
I sobbed as Colton cupped my face in his hands, his eyes pained. Hey, look at me.
I did, bringing my eyes up towards his face, he went to say something, but I put my hand over his mouth to stop him.
I said to you that after you tell me everything I will help you. I don’t expect you to change for me. I don’t want you to because that is not love. Love is about taking the person for who they are. The good and the bad. I want to be with you Colton, don’t push me away, please.
Oh god, he whispered and buried his head into my neck, his ragged breaths on my neck. Look around, look at what I do, can you live with that ?
I hugged him tighter. All I can see is you.
I reached inside my pocket and pulled out the piece of paper that he’d given me, as well as one of those mini pens. He watched as I opened the piece of paper and scribbled Carlos’ name out.
I want to help you. He studied me for a long moment and nodded sadly.
He took the piece of paper out of my hands and threw it on the floor. You come first.
His hands gripped onto my hips, a steadying heat flaring between us. His eyes grew darker as both of our breathing got heavier.
Without hesitation, we both grabbed at each other and our lips smashed together. Colton pulled me into him so that our bodies were pressed together, his hands sliding down my body. I could taste him and my tears as we kissed.
His hands pushed through my hair and trailed down my back, gently tugging on my hair so that he could look at me. I was out of breath and heavily panting, my stomach twirling because this felt right. I wanted him.
Please don’t stop, I told him, gripping onto his shoulders.
I’m not going to, he said and he didn’t.
Colton carried me out of the dungeon, leaving the problems inside that room, along with Carlos’ recently mutilated body.
Nothing else mattered but Colton and I at that moment. My connection with him was at its strongest, I could feel it pumping through my veins and I never wanted to lose it.
He continued to carry me to a different place through the underground passageways. I didn’t know where we were going, but at that moment, I just didn’t care as I pressed my lips against his more, surrendering myself to all the new feelings I was experiencing. We ended up inside a room and on top of a single bed. I didn’t know why it was down here, or how, only thanked god there was something to lie on.
I pushed Colton down onto the bed and straddled him, still very aware of his naked body and very aware of how amazing he looked without any clothes on. He was lean in all the right places and his ivory skin was smooth, hot and flawless.
I placed my hands on his face and kissed him deeply as Colton slid his hands up my thighs.
I groaned into his mouth, our breathing becoming heavier and heated.
Soon he took control and flipped me onto my back gently and climbing on top of me. I vaguely heard the sound of fabric tearing, but I was too caught up in his mouth moving against mine to care.
Soon we were both naked, the feel of his warm body against mine had me shivering and squirming. With my fever, all the feelings I was enduring were multiplied.
Colton pulled away, his lips were red and wet and his eyes like melted chocolate. He slid his finger down my cheek and I warmed at his touch.
Are you okay ?
I nodded my head, I felt more than okay. Yes, don’t stop.
I won’t, he said and once again kissed me passionately.
Colton finally made me his that night, completely and fully. Having sex with him was out of this world and completely indescribable.
We had sex until we could no longer and in turn, my fever died down and I felt exhilarated and calm. Like my body was sighing with relief that this moment of completing our mating finally happened. I fell asleep in his arms, content and extremely happy.
My eyelids fluttered open and a candle lit dungeon came into view around me. I went to move, but stopped when arms tightened around me and I soon noticed I was lying on top of a bare chest.
When I looked up I blushed when I saw Colton still asleep. He had taken me into a different part of the dungeons that were underneath his club, these cells had single beds inside of them.
I bit my lip and resisted the urge to grin, but in the end I just gave in as I watched him sleep.
My thoughts came to what we did together and I did not regret a single damn thing. We’d completed our bond and I felt connected with him on a whole new level entirely.
I didn’t feel guilty for giving my virginity to Colton here. It felt right.
Carlos was dead, his torment was gone and I felt incredibly happy about that. But I knew this was just the beginning of everything to come. I know now I will follow Colton no matter what. I would do anything for him.
My smile faded a fraction and I wondered if we would go onto doing the normal relationship stuff usual couples do ? What was in my future ? I shook my head mentally, what was I thinking ? Colton was going to be in my future and that was enough.
He needed me and I needed him. Whatever else was going to come our way, we would deal just like we have been doing.
Only this time he won’t keep me in the dark or shut me out. I got what I wanted in the end, Jenny wasn’t around anymore and we don’t have to hide or pretend.
I breathed out heavily, so sick of feeling sad when I should be happy. I half jumped when Colton started to stir beneath me.
He yawned a little and opened his eyes. Our eyes met and he gave me a lazy smile.
Hello.
I smiled shy ;y because we were both naked beneath the covers. Then I remembered my dress was lying in bits on the floor that Colton had literally torn from my body.
Um, how am I supposed to get out of here ?
Huh ?
You ripped my dress.
Oh…yeah, He smiled wickedly. Now I did say I would tear it from you.
