“You were.”
Of course, she wasn’t going to deny that, and he didn’t think she should. Still, it stung.
“If I had found out before you left, if you had told me, I am not sure what I would have done. My reaction might have been different, but my pride was hurt, and I took it out on you.” He swallowed and tried his best to steady his nerves.
“I was going to tell you that weekend.”
Her whispered confession hit him straight in the heart with a dagger. Three years, and each day, he had convinced himself that he didn’t want to be around her. He had been lying.
“There has been no one else. Not here,” he said, pressing his hand against his chest. “And after that one stupid night, there has been no one else.”
She blinked. “Don’t lie to me, Kap. I never expected you to stay away from women.”
He shook his head.
“No. People talk. Dillon Security has too many connections with TFH. I know you have a reputation.”
His mouth curved. “I cultivated that. I never wanted them to know that I was still hung up on a blue-eyed spy who wrecked my world.”
Her face crumpled.
Panic hit his system. “What?”
“I ruined everything. I couldn’t tell you right off, but I wanted to. For the first time in my life, I wanted to share my entire life with someone.”
He pulled her closer, wrapping his arms around her. “I would like that.”
She pulled back and looked up at him. She was not a pretty crier. Her skin was so fair that it turned her face all blotchy.
“Kap,” she whispered his name, and it was his undoing.
He bent his head to take her mouth, and she met him halfway. She slipped her arms up his shoulders, pressing her soft body against him, and he gave in to his needs. His cock hardened, his entire body vibrating with the need he had for this one woman. This one little waif, whom he knew could probably kill a person with her hands. Why did that turn him on even more?
He pushed that thought aside as he slipped his hands down her body to her ass. He lifted her against him, and she wrapped her legs around his waist. Even through their clothes, he could feel her heat. The memory of having all that wet warmth surrounding his dick almost had him coming in his pants.
He set her down on the bed, breaking the kiss so he could tear off his shirt. Her hands were on his buckle, undoing his pants.
“Eden.”
She smiled up at him, her eyes dancing with happiness. And in that one moment, he would deny her nothing. He wanted to make her smile like that for the rest of their lives. That thought should scare him, but instead, it gave him peace. They had a lot to work out, but he knew that he wanted to be by her side.
Pushing that thought away, he focused on what she was doing. She had his pants undone and was slipping her hand in to pull out his cock. Slipping her hand down the shaft, she pumped him once, twice…a small pearl of precum wet the head. Eden licked her lips, then leaned forward to take him into her mouth. He curled his toes into the rug as she licked him from balls to tip, then took him into her mouth completely. Her hand slipped down to his ball sac, teasing him.
Over and over, she took him, and it took his entire concentration not to come. He looked down at her bent head, and just the sight of his dick disappearing into her mouth had him growling.
“Enough,” he said as he pulled her back. She pouted up at him, and Jesus, that almost had him coming. What the fuck? This woman was undoing him with just a pout. It was just like before, but somehow better.
“I like being in charge.”
He chuckled. “I know you do, and I’m cool with that, but I want both of us naked and enjoying it.”
“But I do enjoy tasting you,” she said, smacking her lips together. God, this woman.
“Naked or no more tasting.”
“Fine.”
They both pulled off their clothes in record time. He lay down on the bed.
