Before the bittersweet pain has time to tighten my chest, he has me straddle him, and I feel his cock push into me, relieving my aching need.
“Oh, Logan…”
“Fuck, baby…”
He holds me to him as his cock drives into me, each thrust making my core explode with heat. He presses his lips again to mine, his tongue claiming my mouth, as his arms squeeze around me. We’ve never fucked like this. In a way that feels likea desperate embrace.
He pulls his mouth away from mine at last, and I take in a gasp of air before nestling my face against his shoulder. I feel his head against mine, and my shoulder grows wet.
He’s crying.
I’ve never seen him cry before, and it sends a violent surge of pain through me.
“Logan, are you…”
“Shh, baby. Just hold me.”
We come together, his seed filling me, our tears mingling. Then I collapse in his arms, and he pulls both of us down on the bed.
“Thatwasthe best orgasm I’ve ever had,” I murmur against his chest.
“Mine too, little captive. Mine too.”

“We’re at the Astley warehouse. See you there.”
I stare at the text message as Everest pulls into the abandoned lot. I can tell Damien doesn’t know what I’m planning. Well, I guess he must know enough to have lured Carmelo out here. But he has no idea his own life is about to end.
As is mine.
Lia spent the rest of the flight cradling Aurora in her arms. It’s as if she believes these are her last moments with her daughter. I don’t want her to feel that way. I need to make sure both of them live. I’m just not sure how to manage that.
I fall into step with Everest as Lia, carrying Aurora, and Dolores, walk behind us. “If anything happens to me tonight,” I whisper to him, “I need you to make sure they’re safe. Okay? I haven’t told anyone this. But I bought a place in Oregon. A safe house. You’ll bring them there.”
He stares at me. “Why would anything happen to you? Carmelo’s in there alone with Damien. There’s no way to fuck it up.”
Sometimes, his innocence astounds me. “Yeah. Just saying.”
“Okay, man. No worries.”
He goes back to texting on his phone, completely unconcerned as we enter the warehouse.
“Lia.” I wait for my girl to catch up, then wrap an arm around her waist. “You’re going to wait for me right here, okay? Everest will look out for you. I’m just going to deal with… something, and I’ll be right back.”
I lead them all to a small room on the opposite side of the place I know Damien and Carmelo are waiting for me.
Lia’s not half as naive as Everest, though.
“No, no, no. I want to stay with you, Logan.”
“Shh. It’s okay. I’ll be right back.” I press a kiss to her lips.
“Do you promise?”
I pause, then kiss her again. “If it’s at all earthly possible, I’ll come back to you.”
