KENNEDY
Thayer’s fingertips brushed the outer layer of my breasts. He cupped them, squeezed a little before he flicked his tongue one each at a time.
I watched him as he enjoyed and captured the other into his hot mouth, sucking it.
All I could think about was reminding him that I would come to him that I wouldn’t ever feel complete without him in my life.
His thumb flicked my free nipple, pinched it with his fingers. The pain sent right through my pulsing clit. I could feel my folds slick with my wetness—I was ready and needy—like always for him.
“Babe?” I called out when he was seemingly silent. He was usually talkative during sex.
He raised his head. My nipple was still in his mouth.
“Please?”
He released my nipple. “What do you want, darling? Tell me?” To be honest, the word darling had grown on me, especially when he called me with his thick accent. It was sexy like music to my ear.
“I want you to make love to me.”
“Oh, darling, I want to make love to you, too.” He leaned down. His lips barely touched mine before he said, “I love you. I want you to remember me even if I’m not with you.”
“Why did I feel like that I would forget you?”
“Just reminding you.” He positions the head of his cock into my entrance, bumping to my clit a few times before he slid down into me, filling me. Then he pulled out completely, and very slowly, he entered into me again. It was nearly enough to bring me to the edge. The process made me mad with greed.
I thrust my hips up to meet him, but he denied me.
“Slowly, my love.”
I writhed underneath. “I want you. Damn it.”
“I want you, too.” His jaw clenched. His muscles strained, his veins protruding.
I knew he was holding back his orgasm.
“Make me come, please?” My clit was pulsing in time with my heartbeat. I was drowning with needs.
His thrust stopped, eyes locking into mine, darkening with desire and something else—fear. “Promise me you will come back.”
“I already said a thousand times, and I’m gonna say it again. It’s a promise. I will come back to you. I wanna marry you, have babies with you if you want. I wanna grow old with you. Now please, I want your smile.”
“Yes, I want kids.”
“Great. But we can’t make it right now.”
“Fuck.” He pressed his forehead against mine, breathing hard. “I’m fucked up in the head. I don’t wanna let you go, but I have given you my word.” He then surged into me as if he just gathered his strength. Filling me in with one hard thrust. With the sudden penetration, he hit the right spot.
I cried out in pleasure.
I had not caught my breath yet. Thayer adjusted his angle, lifted my leg over his shoulder, thrust into me again, and pressed his thumb against my clit. I arched my back, groaning through gritted teeth. The sudden orgasm shot through me in a shock. My walls were clenching around his cock.
He sped up his thrust. My orgasm went on and on. He then followed, chanting my name.

“You’re leaving.” Carlott sat beside me, pursing her lips.
“Why does everyone think that I’m not coming back?” I was intent to let them hear me. Ash was sitting on a chair with his fingers scratching his growing stubble. Lud was leaning against the doorjamb. Thayer was scrolling on his phone, his legs crossed, lips pressed in a flat line.
“If you’re not back within a week, I’m gonna come and bring you back myself.”
I rolled my eyes. “Please, don’t kidnap me. It’s unpleasant.”
“The thought had crossed my mind. But as long as you won’t ditch my brother on your wedding day, I won’t plan on doing so.” She held my hand, squeezing it. “We’re gonna plan the wedding once you’re back. Can’t wait for you to be together.”
“Then you should get married too.”
“We broke up,” she muttered.
“What? When? Why? Oh, my Mod. I’m so sorry. Why didn’t you tell me?”
She rolled her eyes. “He said, I’m in love with someone else.”
I chuckled. “Well, I hope that’s not true, right?” I glanced over to Thayer if he heard our conversation or knew about the breakup. He just smiled sadly.
“That scumbag doesn’t deserve you, Princess.” Lud snorted.
“You’re just like my father. Who then deserves me? Or maybe, I don’t deserve to be happy as my brother. That’s all.” She huffed. “I should join the convent, then.”
“Hey, everyone deserves to be happy. Besides, I didn’t expect I would meet your brother. I just broke up with another scumbag. Correction, he dumped me. I couldn’t think of any reasons why he did that, but that’s maybe the reason when I met your brother because my scumbag ex is not the right person for me.”
“Just stop looking. When you met the person who deserves you, you know it the moment you look into his eyes,” Ash said.
“Said a guy who can’t move on.” Lud snorted. My gaze bounced between them.
“What’s with the hype, Stellan?” Thayer butted in.
“Said a guy who’s in love with a wrong girl,” Ash bickered.
“That’s bullshit! Who said about fucking in love? I don’t even believe in the shit anymore if I didn’t see it myself in T and Kennedy.” He glared at Ash, who was glaring back before he glanced at us. Or at Carlott.
Holy crap!
My eyes rounded in shock. “Princess, can we go to my room? I have something to show you. Please?” I widened my eyes in the hope that she would get my clue.
“Of course.” She rose to her feet.
“Where’re you two going?” Thayer asked.
“Personal space, brother.”
Once we got far from them and made sure they couldn’t hear us, I cornered Carlott. “So it’s true then that you’re in love with another man, huh?”
“That’s not true,” she denied, but the color just drained from her face.
“I think it is. You’re in love with Lud.”
Her eyes grew big. “I’m not. What made you say that?” She crossed her arms over her chest—a very defensive gesture for a guilty woman.
“I swear I won’t tell your brother if you will tell me the truth.”
“It’s complicated.”
“Nothing's complicated about it. I’m sure your brother would understand about your situation with you and Lud. Your parents might be hard to convince, considering he’s working for your family.”
“I know that. And considering his reputation over women and relationship, I don’t think there’s more to it—”
“How long have you two been seeing together?”
“We’re not.”
“What?” My voice raised.
“Your voice.”
“I’m sorry. So you two just—sleeping together?”
“I said it’s complicated.”
“It’s not complicated if you two will sort this out. Did you not hear what Ash said earlier? Lud is in love with you, but he also loves his job and your brother, but he crosses the line for you, which means he’s willing to risk his job and his relationship with your brother if you are. Don’t you get it?”
“I don’t want him to do that?”
“So you two already talked about it?”
“No. I told him that this is just a one-time thing. Then one thing led to another, then, you know.” She shrugged.
“Clearly, it’s more than just sex, Carlott. How far would you go for love?”
“I’m not even sure what’s this. I thought I cared for my ex, but no. I’m not even hurt when he ended our relationship.”
“Well, that’s great news. But looking at the two of you, there’s something special in there. Don’t give up. Talk to Lud. He may have a reputation, but people can change. Trust me. I know a few.”
“Is everything okay?” Thayer found us. Thankfully, he didn’t notice anything suspicious.
“Yup. See you in the car?” Carlott left us. And it was my time to leave as well.
I cupped Thayer’s face. “You’re the best thing that ever happened to me. I just want you to know that the reason why I have to do this. I have to close an old chapter of my life. The only way to do that is to go back. Then we’re gonna start our new chapter together.”
“I understand, Kennedy.”
“I know you do. Don’t worry I’ll leave half of my heart with you.” I pressed my lips against his. Before I could pull back, he framed my face and kissed me hard, full of passion and emotions. It took my breath away.
“I will marry you as soon as you’re back. I don’t care about anything anymore. I just want you to be my wife. I couldn’t wait any longer.”
