Tears gather in my eyes, and when they fall, they roll over his knuckles. But his hold doesn’t falter. He holds me, stroking his thumbs along my cheeks, catching my tears, and rubbing them into my skin. He leaves me breathless and scares the living hell out of me. “I don’t want to disappoint you. I’m messy. I really didn’t put away those clothes we washed a couple weeks ago.”
He laughs like I’m not a hot mess. “I’ll put them away.”
“You can’t clean up my mess.”
“I can,” he retorts, his eyes holding mine. “Just as you held me together at dinner, I’ll hold you together.”
“I meant literally. You can’t clean my mess.”
“Yes, I can, because I want to.”
Ugh, that word.
“God, you’re impossible!” I say, my eyes itching with tears. He is so damn swoony, and he makes it real hard to breathe. “Benson, I’m forgetful, and I’m pretty sure my brain hates me.”
“Are you going to forget me?”
My heart almost stops in my chest. “Never.”
“Exactly. And when I’m so deep inside you that you do forget my name and you need something to scream, just say ‘mine.’”
My pussy purrs to life for this man. “Benson—”
“Cameron, what you see as flaws are my favorite things about you. All those little things that do my heart in. Let your brain hate you, Cameron, because I love you.”
My lip starts to wobble, and I know he wants me to say it back. “I don’t want you to regret anything and wish—”
“Cameron, there is nothing to regret, and my only wish is for you to choose me.”
“Choose you?”
“Yeah, it’s all I’ve ever wanted. To choose me with just as much conviction as you made that choice for us. I want you to choose me for us.”
That cracks my heart wide open. “Benson, the moment I wanted to do this project, I chose you. I had no one else in mind. Only you. Hell, I should have chosen someone else, because I knew from the jump that I was going to fall madly in love with you.”
Silence stretches between us as his eyes search mine. “Say it,” he whispers against my lips. “Tell me, my heart.”
His heart. Jesus Christ. My own heart is slamming in my chest, and my whole body breaks out in gooseflesh as I get lost in the dark gray that swirls in his eyes. My lungs feel as if they aren’t getting enough air, and everything just feels tight, but I know the truth. Hell, he knows the truth. “I choose you, Benson, because I love you.”
His shoulders sag in relief as he exhales. “I love you—”
I take his lips with mine before he can finish, because I need to kiss him. I need to show him how much I love him. I wrap my arms around his neck as his go around my back, bringing me into his lap. He drags his lips from my mouth to my chin to my jaw. Trailing kisses, nipping with his teeth, and ultimately driving me crazy.
“This isn’t going to be slow. I need you,” he mutters against my neck before laying me back on the bed. He removes my arms from around his neck, ignoring my complaints as he pulls the condom off and gets a new one. “It’s going to be hard, fast.”
“Promise?” I ask, and when his eyes meet mine, I smile.
“Menace. A total menace to my heart,” he murmurs, rolling on a new condom and then pressing a knee to the bed. His eyes are hooded as he prowls across the bed to me and settles between my thighs. He takes my hips, tilting them up as I go to wrap my legs around his waist. He stops me, though, taking one leg and throwing it over his shoulder before entering me without warning. He slides into me like he belongs, and hell, he does. He fills me to the hilt, and I cry out, arching my back and closing my eyes in ecstasy. His cock hits me in the most perfect way, but then he pulls out almost completely, and with a rough voice, he says, “Watch me fuck you, Cameron. See how fucking much I love you.”
My eyes open then, meeting his heated ones, and my whole body feels as if it catches on fire. He holds my hip in one hand, and he holds my ass with his other as he slides into me deeply. He slides out slowly but then slams back in, the motion mind-altering as he continues over and over. A deep moan leaves my chest as I watch him fuck me with such love in his eyes. With each thrust, his eyes darken even more. Each time he pulls out, he drops his eyes to between my legs, and I swear I see a feral grin move across that beautiful mouth.
