Chapter 28

A couple of months later,I walk into our little apartment and see Lux cooking stir fry in the kitchen, headphones on, dancing in my boxers, and a sports bra. It gives me so much fucking joy to see the life returning to her, and I smile every time I see it. Every-damn-time.

She's dancing with her back to me, and I pause, watching her shake that luscious ass. My cock instantly swells at the sight of her. My instinct is to go to her, pull her into my arms, and fuck her right there in the kitchen.

But I hold back, if only for a second. She hasn't seen me yet, and I take the opportunity to eat her up with my gaze.

Her ass is my favorite, and I can't take my eyes off it as she sways, using the spatula as a microphone, lip-singing to a song only she can hear. This little moment of joy makes my chest ache. How did I ever think I could move on without her in my life?

Finally, I can't stand it anymore, and I step into the kitchen, which draws her notice. She jumps back, and squeals, pulling one ear free of the headphones. "You're home! I didn't hear you." She spins around and dips the tip of the spatula into the stir-fry sauce that's simmering on the stove. "Taste." She holds it to my lips and I take a small sample.

"Mmm," I lick my lips. "Needs salt."

Swatting me in mock anger, she sets the spatula down and takes her headphones off. "What are you doing home so early?"

I shrug and set my backpack down. "Professor Kade cut class early. Something about a student emergency."

"Ah," she says with a smile, throwing her arms around my neck. "Well, I'm glad you're home."

My hands rest on the globes of her ass, squeezing. "Mmm, are you?" I pull her lower half against me, so she can feel the hard ridge of my erection. "Just how glad are you?"

She laughs, pushing against my chest. "God, you're insatiable. We fucked this morning. I was still half-asleep."

My lips curl up into a smile. "And?"

Since she was cleared by Dr. Lee to have sex again,and put on reliable birth control, we've been fucking nonstop. I can't get enough of her. I want to lick, and nip, and suck every inch of her gorgeous body all the time.

Hands still cupping her ass, I lift her off the ground, and place her on the small kitchen counter, shoving utensils, and bowls aside.

We're kissing in a frenzy now, my body more desperate to be inside her by the second. I want her so bad, I can barely fucking breathe.

With my lips still devouring her, I reach down and pull her boxers down, exposing her hot pussy. I nearly groan—I can already smell her, that sweet musky scent that is entirely Lux, and never fails to draw me in. I could be in a dead-fucking-sleep, and be aroused instantly with one tantalizing scent of that sweet cunt.

Goddamn, I need to fuck her. Now.

As I push my fingers inside her, she pulls her lips away from mine and throws her head back with a moan. She's soft, and warm, and so damn tight. With a growl, I push my fingers deeper, finding a rhythm that makes her body tremble. Pulling her bottom lip between her teeth, her eyebrows pinch together, and she whimpers.

God, there's only so much of that I can hear without going completely insane. Removing my fingers, I quickly unzip my jeans, and pull my cock out, stroking it a couple of times.

Leaning back on the counter, she spreads her thighs in invitation, and I shove my cock into her welcoming pussy. We moan in unison, and I gather her up, pulling her front against me as I thrust into her.

"Oh, my God, Roman. Jesus, you feel so good."

I'm already on the brink of coming inside her, so I slow my pace, pulling back to long, languid strokes. Slow and steady,slow and steady. I just focus on the feeling of her wrapped around me, her little breaths of pleasure warm on my cheek.

With her legs hooked around me, I push into her even deeper, until she takes all of me. Something is bubbling over on the stove, but I don't give a fuck, and I don't think she even notices.

"Roman, yes," she groans, head tilted back. I latch onto the column of her throat, kissing her sweet skin as I take her, pounding into her slow and hard, each thrust causing my pelvic bone to slam against her clit.

I drag my bottom lip up the length of her throat, then bury my face in her hair, inhaling deeply. I'm completely consumed by her, and I'd sell my soul to the devil himself before ever giving her up again.

As I continue to rock against her, I can tell she's getting close to climaxing. Her inner walls squeeze my cock as she approaches her orgasm, which spurs me on, making it almost impossible not to come.

She pulls her head back, so we're nose to nose, and we stare into each other's eyes. That"s when I break. Everything inside me shatters, and with a long, tormented growl, I pour my entire soul into her, pumping my hips.

She follows me, her eyes fluttering closed as her channel contracts around my cock, pulling so hard, she milks me dry. Her mouth opens in a silent scream as her own orgasm rocks through her.

"Oh, God. Yes, Roman. Yes."

The pulsing of our bodies is just beginning to recede when there's a loud knock on the front door. Actually, it's more like pounding.

Fucking-A.

"Are you expecting someone?" Lux asks, her eyes wide, my cock still buried inside her.

"No," I say, annoyed. The point of living off campus is so we can be alone. I'm selfish enough to want Lux all to myself, all of the time. "It's probably one of the guys. Hold up, I'll tell them to fuck off."

Lux and I still have a lot more fucking to do. The day is young.

Easing Lux down onto her feet, I turn the stove off and tuck my cock back into my jeans, then zip up. Lux is already hiding in the bedroom by the time I get to the front door.

More pounding, then Christian's voice carries through the thick slab of wood. "Yo! Roman. Open up!"

I pull the door open with a scowl. "What, dude?" I walk away, leaving the door open in a silent invitation for Christian to follow me. "Haven't you ever heard of texting?" I say. "Damn."

We're in the living room when he pushes out a breath. "We need you at Rush House," he says, agitated. "There's an emergency."

I shake my head. "I already told you, man, I'm out. I can't get involved with society shit anymore."

Christian steps forward. "It's Lucas."

Now that gets my attention, and hearing the urgency in Christian's voice sets my pulse racing. After everything that's happened, it feels like I'm always on high alert. "What about Lucas?"

Christian rakes a hand down his face. "You know our cousin, Gabriel? Yeah, he fucking offed himself this morning."

Holy shit.

I blink at Christian, at a complete loss for words. Gabriel and Lucas have always been close. Much closer than Gabriel and Christian ever were. I can see why something like that would hit Lucas the hardest.

"Oh, shit," I say. "Is Lucas okay? Are you okay?"

"I haven't even really processed it yet. But Lucas…yeah, he's losing his shit. Jackson is at the house with him now, but we really need you, man."

"Yeah," I say without hesitation. "Let me tell Lux, and I'll meet you downstairs."

With a stiff nod, Christian turns to leave, and I can see the worry in his eyes. He and Lucas just suffered a loss, so of course Christian is worried, but I don't know, there was something else in his eyes. Something bordering on panic, maybe?

When I walk into the bedroom, Lux is naked, wrapped up in our fluffy white duvet, looking like a fucking snack. If the situation with Lucas weren't so dire, I might fuck her again quickly before leaving.

"I have to leave," I say, kneeling on the mattress, so I can pull her into a kiss.

"I heard," she says. Not surprising. This apartment was a cool couple million and yet the walls are still paper-thin. There are no secrets in this place. I'm sure our neighbors can hear Lux and me fucking at all hours of the day and night. Too bad I don't give a damn. "Give Lucas my love. Let me know if I can help."

She lying against the pillows now, and I'm hovering over her. Dipping my head, I draw from her lips—a long, languid kiss. "I'll be back in a bit, then we can finish what we started."

She laughs and shoves my chest. "Go help your friend. I'll be here when you get back."
