Kiss a Stranger (24 page)

             
“None of that matters,” he muttered against my lips. “I haven’t been inside of you in four bloody months, Claire. That’s what fucking matters.”

             
He didn’t slow down to warm me up – not that I needed it. He simply stripped me down and brought me against his naked body. He kissed me like his life depended on it, feeling every part of my body hastily and hungrily.

             
Then he took me. Hard and fast, reminding me that Ben was not always a gentle man.

             
I wrapped my arms around him and dragged my nails down his back as he thrust into me, ravaging my body, but also staring into my eyes to give me that connection I’d been longing for.

             
Tears slid down my face when I came. I clutched onto him desperately, never wanting to let go. I would never ruin this. I would never dishonour his trust. I would never see the ugly in me ever again. What we had between us was beautiful enough to outshine all the bad in the world.

I loved him.

             
God, I loved him.

             
“I love you too, little lady,” he breathed against me.

And that’s all that mattered.
