“Promise?” I grin and his cock twitches inside me.

“I vow to always protect you. To always take care of you. To fuck you senseless every day of our lives.”

Huffing a laugh at the last part, I smile. “It almost sounds like you love me, Colt Everly.”

“Love doesn’t come close to what I feel for you, Nova. From the first moment I laid eyes on you, I knew you were going to bemy life. Even if I couldn’t be with you then, I never left. I was with you every day; I couldn’t stay away.”

Unexpected emotion hits me, tears leaking from the corners of my eyes, and I feel like I’m in a dream.

He loves me.

He’salwaysloved me.

My heart begs me to say it back while my damaged mind tells me to be cautious.

You’ve never experienced love. How do you know what it is?

I open my mouth, to say what, I don’t know. He presses his finger against my lips. “Sleep, baby.”

He kisses me softly to ease the sting of him pulling out of me. Laying on his side, he cradles me against his chest.

Cum leaks from my pussy and my body tenses. “Colt, we didn’t use protection.”

The asshole chuckles. “And?”

“There’s pregnancy and diseases to worry about.” My voice rises an octave.

“You’re on birth control and I know you’ve been tested.” He yawns.

“What about you?” I ask, irritated he’s being nonchalant about this.

“What about me?”

“Have you been tested?”

“No need.” He says sleepily. “You were my first.”

My body shoots up in the bed. “What?”

His eyes widen at my reaction, but I can’t believe what I’m hearing. He sits up, now fully awake. “I’ve never wanted anyone but you, little demon.”

This fucking man.

He saved himself for me.

If my past were different, I would’ve saved myself for him.

The pieces click into place, giving me clarity.

He’s everything to me and I’m a damn idiot if I don’t tell him. He’s watching me closely and I can’t stop the tears from falling again. I throw myself into his arms and he falls back, covering the top of my head so it doesn’t hit the headboard.

I devour him, my own beast surfacing, knowing without a doubt he’s my soulmate.

My killer.

My stalker.

My fucking lifeline and I’ll never be without him again.
