been inside her before she felt a climax like things she only assumed happened in books and maybe fake porn. She felt her body come hard, deeply entrenching her in passion and then, as if he were on cue he pushed harder into her once, twice and then again and held there on a loud guttural growl before she felt him release his seaman inside of her. She wasn’t on the pill and he wasn’t wearing protection but right now she didn’t care. Right now this was all she wanted—him, this moment. And if she lived and she had his baby she would live with that too. She had never wanted kids, but with him she could have a dozen if it meant being like this with him—uninhibited and feeling all of him.
It wasn’t until his head lifted and his eyes looked into hers that he spoke. “You’re so tight, Liv.”
She smiled weakly. “You’re my first, Chogan. My only.”
His eyes went wide and a raw word she couldn’t understand tore from his throat. “I shouldn’t have taken you so hard.”
She brushed her fingers along his cheek. “I came hard,” she smiled a little at him. “But um…I’m not on the pill, Chogan.”
His eyes slid closed and then opened. She thought for sure he was feeling regret and that pained her even more. “Good,” he finally said.
“What?” Shock resonated in her tone and he shrugged one shoulder.
“I’ve been thinking about what a baby with you would look like since I met you, Liv. I’m certain I’m not shooting blanks. I’m clean so you don’t have to worry about anything. We’re all tested frequently and I just came off a test before my last mission.”
“You want kids?”
“I wouldn’t mind having them, but I’m not exactly camping out looking for them you know. But with you, sure…I could have a couple. You?”
She shrugged a shoulder and her head fell forward onto his shoulder. “I never wanted kids, but with you…yeah, I could have a couple. But not and be single. I don’t think I could handle single parenthood.”
“In case you’re mistaking what we just did, Liv, I just claimed you. You’re mine and I don’t mean that as a girlfriend. You’re mine as the woman I’m calling my wife, my mate, my other. When this is over I’ll handle the legal ceremony, but make no mistake about this, Liv, this was a mating—a permanent mating.”
Her arms wrapped around his shoulders as tightly as she could. He wanted her as a wife. He wanted her always and something about that had tears nearly coming to her eyes. She had finally gotten the man she wanted and she was probably going to die. Life sucked sometimes—it sucked a lot.
“What’s wrong?” He squeezed her waist in the palm of his big hand.
“I was just thinking that this is perfect, that I have you, and this guy is probably going to kill me.”
“He’s not going to get his hands on you, and that is a promise.”
Chapter Three
C hogan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He had called in some favors and he was getting backup from the two best men in his unit. He would not lose this woman, and he would make the bastard who killed his sister pay, that was a promise.
Leaving Olivia alone for even a minute didn’t sit well with him, but since he had gotten in contact with Autumn and she had managed to arrange what he needed, a safe house and the import of two of his best teammates while she was at it, it was time for him to get moving if he wanted to be sure he kept his woman safe. He couldn’t do that here in New York. There was too much that could go wrong in a city this size and he wasn’t willing to risk it.
But right now leaving her didn’t sit well with him. He took her down into his Native haven of a basement and left her there with strict instructions not to move. She hadn’t cracked any jokes or tried any humor at all. She simply smiled and nodded in agreement. She would move if she needed the bathroom, but the bathroom was still in the basement so she wouldn’t have to go up top. He had left
