Chapter 10

Rurick

Lexi's face as she came for me was always beautiful, but when she came around my cock, it was exquisite. I memorized every moan and sigh she made, each minute facial expression. From the way her eyes rolled back and her lashes fluttered, to the raggedness of her breathing. I particularly loved the pink in her cheeks and the tight grip she had on my cock.

I couldn't move but that was okay, I'd wait until she softened around me and then I'd stoke her fire once more. Next time, we'd tumble together and I'd make sure she shouted my name when we did.

Rubbing my hand along her belly, I reached up and tweaked her nipple through the lace of her black bra. She shook around me, her arms jerking on the restraints in the most enticing fashion; heat in her eyes. I tested the grip of her passage on my cock with soft little surges and soon her wetness let me pick up the pace again. Pleasure streaked through me, each push putting me closer to the edge.

Determined that she'd be right there with me, I found her clit again and started stroking that in time with my thrusts. When she started fluttering along my length my vision whited out from the intense pleasure and my release crashed through me hard. I groaned her name, pressed harder on her clit, and with stuttering strokes tried to find that special spot inside her.

She jerked, her walls clenching down hard on me, sucking me in and wringing every drop of seed from my cock. "Rurick!" she shouted, arms straining above her head, her spine arching so her bountiful breasts were pushed towards my chest. I felt each spasm of her passage, drawing me closer, connecting me to her in ways I never knew sex could.

When she came down from her release she looked exhausted, as spent as I felt. I didn't want to withdraw from her heat, I wanted to stay inside of her for as long as she let me. With her arms tied above her head, it couldn't be the most comfortable position to rest though, even if it was very sexy. Reaching up, I gently started to free her from the ties, stroking her arms to massage any kinks out of them.

"You should sleep, Lexi. You're safe in here," I said to her when she was lying limply beneath me on the bed, trustingly staring up at me. That was a kick to the chest, to see that kind of trust in the eyes of another. My brother trusted me, he understood that loyalty to my family was something I'd never break. I had a few friends who had proven their own brand of loyalty, brotherhood, but anyone else? They knew what kind of person I was. My only close bonds were to males, never a female. I felt honored that Lexi would look at me like that, so quickly, so sweetly.

"What about you?" she asked sleepily. Her eyes dropped from my face down to where I was still lodged between her silky thighs. She smiled, a flirty, teasing kind of look that made my stomach clench with a renewed burst of arousal. Her inner muscles tightened around me, letting me know that she might not be as tired as she looked.

My first inclination was to take her up on that little tease, this first round had only whetted my appetite. Then I shook my head, protective instincts winning out. Carefully sliding myself free, I stroked her belly. "I will watch over you." I didn't need to go far to reach the small lavatory and shower unit where I quickly heated a damp cloth so I could clean her. She watched me through hooded eyes, letting me wipe the seed and sweat from her skin and her sexy pussy.

Only when I was satisfied she was clean did I help her settle beneath the thick, luxurious duvet on my bunk. I joined her not long after, shucking off my leather pants at last and curling naked around her smaller body. I made sure I was between her and the nearest exit, my hand never straying far from where my favorite pistol was tucked away.

Lexi curled up against my chest, fitting perfectly beneath my chin and in my arms. She was asleep in minutes, her breathing evening out into a steady rhythm. No wonder, she'd been through the wringer tonight. I couldn't believe how fast things had moved the moment I'd caught her delicious scent inside that office building.

Just that morning I'd been thinking I'd never retire and take Mads up on joining him in running his bar. Tonight, with my arms full of my mate, my Tally, I was thinking that it actually sounded like the perfect idea. She'd be safe, she'd be a gem as she worked behind the bar and I could run security like my friend wanted.

I lost myself to the fantasy first, imagining the two of us with an actual home to go to each evening, of making love in a giant bed. Maybe even have kids someday and have my brother and his family over for dinners. Any of those thoughts normally would have seemed stifling, but Lexi's presence there, that changed everything. I fell asleep dreaming of a life with her, but worry gnawed at the back of my mind that things hadn't quite been resolved yet. Agosta still wanted her dead.
