“I don’t know how to do this? You’re going to have to teach me everything, but I want to. I need you, Jackson. I want you to take all the bad memories away—only you can do that. You and I are a part of each other. Fate decreed that we’re the only ones who can save each other from the pain. Help me, please.”

Jackson sat up, and taking hold of her hand, he placed it over his heart.

“This isn’t about taking away the pain. This is about moving on and surviving what the world has thrown at us. I know the strength you have in you, Katia, and I’ll worship that forever.”

He pulled her hand up to his lips and kissed the fingertips. She sat herself upright as well, and they joined their mouths together in a passionate kiss. It warmed her entire body, and she allowed the feeling of desire to take over. It was alien and a little bit scary, but he was right—it was coming from the strength inside her. She was no longer broken. She’d survived.

They slid back down onto the bed, and Jackson covered her body with his. The muscles bulging in his arms on either side of her head told her he was being careful not to put all his weight on her. But his closeness allowed her to feel his hardness against her thigh. She didn’t shy away from it. She craved it like a drug. He wouldn’t ever hurt her. She’d meant it when she’d told Kas that Jackson Gates was loyal.

Jackson moved over her body, his mouth finding her breast, and his tongue wrapping around the tip of her nipple. He flicked at it, and the sensitive nub sent a spark of heat directly between her thighs. She’d never felt anything like it before. He continued to lavish attention on her breasts before lowering himself between her parted thighs. A moment of panic whispered to her that she was damaged down there, and he’d find her repulsive. It was quickly washed away, though, when a guttural growl came from Jackson’s throat.

“Fuck me, you’re beautiful.” The look of lust on his face heated Katia’s desire even more, and she desperately needed Jackson to touch her where her core burned for his affection.

“Please,” she whimpered with overwhelming want. “I need you.”

“You’ve got me, Katia, always.”

Jackson dipped his head between her thighs and licked the length of her slit. She arched her back off the bed. She felt so wet down there, which had never happened before. Every part of her burned with a need for something…anything. God, she was on fire. Jackson flicked his tongue over her clit a few more times, and before she realized what was happening, she was coming all over his face. Bathing him in the essence of her first ever orgasm. Her body shook, and she writhed as he drew out every moment of her pleasure with his dexterous tongue. He pulled away from her after what seemed like an eternity of her flying on a euphoric high, and he slid back up her body.

She tried to speak to her lover, but her mouth just gaped open and wouldn’t shut.

“Good?” he chuckled.

“Er, yeah,” she managed to moan.

“It’s not over yet.” Jackson positioned himself above her, and she felt the head of his cock at the entrance to her body. She’d been taken unwillingly like this so many times that her natural reaction was to stiffen. Jackson pulled away immediately. He stroked her head and searched her eyes with his for any sign of distress. “Talk to me.”

“It’s going to hurt me,” she sobbed. There were so many emotions twisting around in her head.

He pressed a kiss to her forehead and kept his head lowered there.

“I can’t promise that it won’t when I first push in. That is part of the act, but as long as I do it right and focus on your needs, then I promise you’ll feel the same pleasure as I do, Katia. But we don’t have to do this. Don’t feel you have to. I’ll lay beside you forever, loving you, even if you’re never ready.”

“I want you, though. I want to feel you. My whole body is on fire with the need to have you inside me. I’m just scared,” she responded as a tear fell from her eye.

“So am I. This is seriously adult stuff now. It’s a risk, but one I want to take when you feel ready.”

“Will you stop if I ask you to?”

“Always.”

Jackson pulled his head back up and pressed a kiss to her lips.

“You are mine, Katia. I’ll protect you with my life until the day I die. Give me your heart. Please.”

“You took my heart ages ago. Before I even knew it was there to give.”

Jackson moved back to the entrance of her pussy, and she felt him nudge the head of his hardened cock against her core again. This time she didn’t freeze. She lifted her body up toward his. She made the first move, and he entered her. He stretched her, and as he pushed all the way inside her, he filled her in the most delicious way. The sensations she was experiencing were overwhelming but welcome in so many ways. He moved with a steady rhythm, pulling out of her, and then pushing gently back in. This wasn’t a rough fucking. This was lovemaking, tender and full of feeling. Their eyes met and never left each other’s until the moment she felt her second ever orgasm building.

She allowed her fangs to descend in her mouth, and Jackson’s eyes widened.

“Claim me fully,” she urged and tilted her head, ready to sink her teeth into his neck.

“You don’t need to ask me twice.” Jackson’s sharp teeth came down into his mouth as he pushed himself deep inside her, and she felt him coming, bathing her insides with his love for her. His teeth then sank into her neck, which triggered her own orgasm. It was even more powerful than the first one. She clung tightly to Jackson and sank her teeth into his neck as she called his name.

She was his, and he was hers.

Forever.
