Chapter 22: The Claim

We didn't make it to the bedroom.

He kissed me in the front hall with the door still open behind us, and I kicked it shut with my heel.

"Say it again," he said against my mouth.

"I choose you."

"Again."

"I choose you, Declan."

He growled and lifted me by the backs of my thighs.

I wrapped my legs around his waist as he carried me up the stairs.

He took the steps two at a time.

The bedroom door banged against the wall.

He put me down at the foot of the bed and stood back, and I saw his hands were shaking.

"Take your clothes off," I said.

He pulled his shirt over his head.

He kicked off his shoes and dropped his trousers.

He stood bare in the lamplight, his cock heavy and hard against his stomach.

I looked at him for a long moment.

"Now me," I said.

He undressed me fast, with none of the care from the night before, and I loved it.

My sweater went over my head and my bra snapped open under his thumbs.

He dragged my jeans down my legs and knelt to pull them off my ankles.

He kissed the inside of my knee.

"On the bed," he said.

I lay back.

He put his mouth on me at once, and I cried out, my hips jumping off the sheet.

His tongue was hot and certain.

He knew exactly where I wanted it.

He gave it to me slow and then hard, a hand under my ass holding me against his mouth.

"Declan, I'm going to..."

"Do it."

I came with my hands knotted in the blanket and his name tearing out of me.

He kept licking me through it.
