“You’re enjoying this too much.”
He chuckles. “I love the way you react to me,gorgeous.” His hand slides to my neck, and he cocks his head before he tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. “I gave you a hand necklace.”
My hand moves to my neck. “You did?”
He nods, lifting me from the truck. “You had a faint one before.” He kicks the door shut and then pivots, heading to the RV. “This one is more pronounced.”
“I’ve never had one before.” I snuggle against him, feeling safe and warm. “Let alone two.”
“Now you do.” He adjusts me, unlocks the RV door, and carries me inside. He hits the lights as he heads to the bedroom at the opposite end.
Setting me on my feet, he quickly strips me naked, then lets me strip off his boots, jeans, and boxers. I run my hands over his tattoos. “These are sexy as fuck. Even covered in blood.”
“Glad you like them.” His neon face glows down on me, turning my skin red. “This is my recent one.” He points to his chest, showing me the tattoo covering his heart.
I gasp, my eyes wide. “That’s my name.”
“You’re engraved inside my tattered heart and soul. It’s only right that you’re on my skin.”
My body heats from his words. I lean forward, running my tongue from the center of his chest down to his abs. He shivers, goosebumps appearing on his skin.
“Can I see?” I pull back, gesturing to his mask.
He nods, his fingers reaching up and gripping the bottom of it. Anticipation hums beneath my skin, fluttering inside my stomach and leaving me breathless. I bounce from foot to foot, impatient to see as he teases me, slowly revealing inch by inch of his face.
When he removes it, I gasp.Oh my God.I recognize him.“Y-You… You’re the hot guy I bumped into my first day here.”
He nods, his brilliant white smile meltingmy insides. “I am.” His deep voice sounds so much smoother without the mask distorting it.
“I’ve been fucking you?” My mouth is hanging open slightly as goosebumps slide over my body. “You’re so hot…”
I back up, my insecurities buzzing inside me.He’s so damn sexy. I mean, look at that body. He’s perfection, and I’m just… just….
“Stop.” His hands are on my shoulders. “You’re beautiful, Mallory. The most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen.” He cups my face, aquamarine eyes shining with his promise. “You’re everything to me.”
My hands wrap around his forearms. “You mean that?”
His eyes search mine. “You captivated me with one look, and I couldn’t get you off my mind. I’m great at hacking… it comes naturally to me. I used it to research you, learning everything about you.” His Adam’s Apple bobs as he swallows. “You’re perfect the way you are. I wouldn’t change one damn thing about you.”
I’m shaking, fear rolling through me. “Y-You know w-who my parents are?”
“Yes, but I don’t give a shit about them. All I care about is whoyouare.” He pulls me into his arms, squeezing me tight.
“You mean that, don’t you?”
“With every cell in my body.”
My smile widens, and my heart feels light. “It sucks you’re hotter than me.”
“No, I’m not.” His eyes glimmer. “And now I’m gonna show you.”
Within seconds, his large body covers mine, pressing me into the mattress. His lips cover mine, and I hum against them, breathing in copper, hay, and the cornfield.
“I need to taste you.” He pulls back, sliding down my body. He wastes no time, his tongue licking between my legs, sending shock waves of pleasure through my body.
“I need… your name.” My hands dig into his scalp. “So I can scream it.”
He looks up at me, the combined juices from fucking me in the barn dripping from his chin. “Stryker. Andourlast name is Ward.”
