“Faster, Reath. I love the way you fill me.”

I moved faster. She was hot and tight.

She was alive, and she was mine.

She arched. “God, yes, Reath.”

I shifted and pushed her legs up to her chest, going deeper.

“I’m close,” she panted.

“Come for me.”

Her fingers dug into my arms. “Yes. I love you.”

Those words reverberated through me, and I felt her clench on my cock. I watched her face as she came.

Mine. Mine to protect. Mine to take. Mine to hold onto forever.

Growing up, I’d had nothing that was truly mine.

Now, I wanted this woman, and I was keeping her.

“Frankie.” My own climax hit, and I groaned.

Finally, I rolled, tucking her beside me. She let out a satisfied sigh.

“That is the best way to wake up in the morning,” she said. “Especially after being held hostage by a crazy killer.”

I stiffened.

“Hey, I’m all right.” She shifted and kissed my jaw.

I pushed her head back. “I love you, Frankie.” It still was a little hard to say the words, but I meant them. “Let’s not joke about being abducted by a killer.”

Her smile was brilliant. “Okay. And it’s lucky you love me, because I love you right back.”

Now, that, I would never get tired of hearing. I pulled her hand to my chest. “I said I didn’t have a heart to give. It’s not true. I was just waiting for you.”

Her face softened.

“My heart’s yours now.”

“Reath.”

She rolled on top of me, mouth hitting my lips. Her tongue teased mine and she let out a little purr.

I slid a hand into her hair and tugged her mouth free. “I forgot to mention that my brothers and their better halves are coming over for breakfast.”

Her eyes widened. “What? Don’t they need to go to work?”

“It’s more important to them to make sure we’re all right.”

She rolled and leaped off the bed naked. “We have to cook?”

I enjoyed the view and the flush of panic on my usually unflappable woman’s face.

“Oh, my God.” She raced for the bathroom. “What are we going to do?”
