“We’re even,” he said.
She frowned. “What do you mean?”
“I’ve made it my mission to guarantee that when I find release, you’ll find release.” He took her lips once again. “And, Sophia, I intend to always be one orgasm in front of you.”
Laughing, she tried to wrap her arms around him but was stuck. “I can’t move.”
Edward left her side, grabbing the keys from the table. He released her, and together they snuggled down on the mattress.
His arms held her tight, and Sophia never wanted him to let go.
“How are you feeling?” she asked. The last couple of weeks crashed around her, reminding her of why she was in the building with him.
“I’m fine. I feel like an ass**le to be honest. The guys are always going to be nervous around me. I’ve got to show them and prove to them I’m strong.” His hands ran up and down her back.
“You’re never going to leave the club, are you?” She looked up at him. Her head was resting on his chest. One of his arms was around her back as the other was behind his head. He looked down at her.
“Do you want me to leave the club?”
She thought about what Lash had said. The club was everything to Edward. Losing it would lose part of himself. Not to mention all the enemies he’d made doing jobs for the club.
Did she really want him to leave the club? It had made him the man he was, the man she’d fallen in love with. She didn’t want him to change.
“I don’t want you to leave the club. I like you just the way you are. Obviously, without the coke head. I didn’t like you then.” His hand gripped her arm tightly.
“I said some pretty f**ked up shit to you that day.”
She reached up, stroking his face. “Don’t worry about it.”
“I’ll never forget the hurt on your face at what I said. I’m so sorry.”
Tears filled her eyes, and she blinked them away. She was done with crying. Over the last year she’d done a lot of crying, both when Kate was alive and when she died.
“It’s in the past. You weren’t the right man then, and you’re not going to fall back to being like him either.” She followed the outline of the skull tattoo on his chest. “And I won’t let you fall back either. Lash is the same. We’re here for you.”
His hand moved down to cup her ass. His fingers slid through the seam, caressing over her anus. She tensed up, gasping.
“I’m not going to lie to you, Sophia, the urge is there. Lash told me a few days ago that the detox is never the problem. His plan was risky, and it could have killed me. The biggest problem an addict faces is the need for it.”
“Do you still feel the need for it?” She should get points for being able to talk. His hands were doing wicked things to her body, making her melt once again.
“Yeah. I feel the need for it, but I don’t want to fall down again. I’ve got too much to lose, and I know you’ll walk if I take again.”
She wanted to dispute him, but Sophia knew in her heart that if he started using again, she wouldn’t be able to handle it. His mood swings, the nastiness came with it. She wouldn’t be able to survive it again.
“I’ll be here every step of the way. I’m not going anywhere.” Sophia had nowhere else to go.
The man she loved was right in her arms, and the club he was with offered her protection. She’d never had a problem with The Skulls. Glancing down his body she saw he was rock hard once again.
Chapter Nine
The night was disappearing fast, and Edward didn’t want to lose a moment of it. After tomorrow he didn’t know if he’d be able to be with her for a couple of weeks. His brothers were not going to be easy on him, even if he asked them to. He wouldn’t dare ask them to go easy on him for sex. His love for Sophia would last far longer than the next two weeks.
Sex could wait. Having Sophia in his life could not.
“What are you thinking about?” he asked, knowing the direction of her thoughts.
Her gaze returned to his. Her cheeks were flushed, and she stumbled over her words.
“Is my woman thinking dirty thoughts?” he asked.
The color of her cheeks got even deeper. She nodded, and her lips stayed shut.
Smiling, he rolled her onto her back. Sophia opened her thighs for him, and he settled between them. Leaning down, he claimed her lips, seeking for her to open to him. She opened her lips, and he plundered inside. Their moans mingled.
Their kiss was passionate and drove him wild. His c**k hardened even more, and he was desperate to be inside her.
Rearing back, he broke the kiss and stared down at her. “If you don’t want this to go any further then you need to say so now.”
“I want this.”
“Be sure. Once I’m inside you I’m not going to stop.”
“I’m sure, Edward. This is what I want.” She sat up, wrapping her arm around his neck and bringing him down to kiss. “I want this more than anything.”
Pushing her back to the bed, he gripped his length and eased the tip through her creamy slit. She was still wet, and he coated his c**k in her cream.
When he bumped her clit, she jolted, chuckling as she did. “I wasn’t expecting that.”
“You’re sensitive.”
She nodded.
Pressing the tip to her cunt, he pushed inside so only the head was inside her. “Then how does this feel?” He gripped her h*ps and plunged inside her.
Sophia cried out, arching her back as he hit the hilt deep. The walls of her sex clung to him. He felt every ripple of her pu**y through the one thrust. Edward stayed seated inside her, not moving.
Slowly, she opened her eyes and stared up at him. He saw her swallow.
“Are you ready for me to move?”
“Yes.” Pulling out of her tight heat, he glanced down to see his c**k coated with her juices. Before he pulled all of the way out of her, he slammed back inside. It felt like he was going deeper with each thrust. Over and over again he pulled out of her only to slam deep inside her. He didn’t let up. The pleasure was too intense for him to simply stay still. Her hands gripped his forearms, her nails sinking into his flesh causing a biting of pain.
“Edward, slow down,” she said.
He caught her words but couldn’t stop. Opening his eyes, he saw the pleading look she was sending him. Gritting his teeth, Edward forced himself to slow down and to give her what she wanted. He stopped, pausing deep inside her.
Shaking, he focused on her. She let go of him panting for breath.
