We were already closer than close, my hands on his hips, fingers hooked in his belt loops as he gazed down at me. They all came tumbling out, and the sensation of letting the fuck go returned to me, even if it was just in this moment. Ripped me open and tunnelled through every bitter wall I’d built around my heart, freeing every pure-and not so pure-emotion I’d ever felt for him. But sometimes, even if I can’t remember it, I wish I had. “I want to say I didn’t-because there’s no way I’d ever forget that. “Do you remember if you kissed me that night?” His face was right there, eyes wide, as if he didn’t quite believe I was real. The pernicious kind that soaked you to the skin with feather-light drops, salty from the noisy ocean somewhere below. Where the shudder that rocked Rubi’s hulking frame didn’t have a time limit. The sweet ones where we had all the time in the world.
I slid my arms around his waist and pressed my mouth to the pirate skull tattoo I’d just skated my tongue over. I wanted to bury my face in him and never come up for air.Ĭhrist, I just wanted kissing him to be easy. “Mate, I’m good for nothing when you do shit to me like that.” As if it didn’t remind me that, underneath it all, we were just animals fated to love each other. He rubbed his cheek on mine, like a lion scenting his mate, and lord, if I didn’t love it when he did primal shit like that. He held me tight, tugging me back into his arms, fitting us back together as if we’d been this way our whole damn lives. I tried to twist out of his hold, but Rubi was strong. Rubi caught me before I could wheel away, his grasp harder this time, his hand a vice around my wrist as he yanked me back to him. I just get lost in it sometimes and it reminds me what a terrible human I am.” “Hey.” Rubi released my jaw and brushed my hair out of my face. Like the world would be without him in it. He’d stayed and propped up his best friends-his brothers-despite knowing, like I did, that he could lose them all too.Ī shiver passed through me, cold and vicious.
My ma, who’d raised him better than his ever tried. That the years I’d been gone from the club had hurt me more than anything, even losing my parents, the pillars of our entire lives, to such a horror show of tragedy. I wanted to tell him I knew how that felt. Cos I’m fucking empty inside without you.” “I can’t breathe around you, but when we’re apart, I drown, Riv. Rubi pressed our foreheads together, a rumbling groan vibrating from his strong chest.
