Part II 3(18/22)

filling me again and

again.

“Do you know how much you mean to me?” he

breathes against my ear.

“No,” I gasp.

He smiles against my neck, and his fingers curl around

my jaw and throat, holding me fast for a moment.

“Yes, you do. I’m not going to let you go.”

I groan as he picks up speed.

“You are mine, Anastasia.”

“Yes, yours,” I pant.

“I take care of what’s mine,” he hisses and bites my

ear.

I cry out.

“That’s right, baby, I want to hear you.” He snakes

one hand around my waist while his other hand grasps my

I turn and gaze at him. His expression is serious,

sincere. I lean over and kiss him gently. He smiles and

reaches up to tuck my hair behind my ear.

“I’ve never felt the way I felt when you left, Anastasia.

I would move hea一ven and earth to a一void feeling like that

again.” He sounds so sad, dazed even.

I kiss him again. I want to lighten our mood somehow,

but Christian does it for me.

“Will you come with me to my father’s summer party
