Ghostwalker 09 - Ruthless Game

to adoration, but what the hel did it matter when he felt like this? When she looked like that?

    “That’s right, sweetheart,” he encouraged. His hands fel to her hips, urging her to keep going. He didn’t want her to ever stop. He could feel every nerve ending as her silken body suckled his cock as she rose over him again.
    The mixture of such deep love shaking him and the rising lust as his body anticipated the explosion shook him. He actual y felt her stomach muscles clench, and his fol owed suit. She shuddered with the effort to hold back as she lowered her body over his, circling, gripping, squeezing him tight so the sensation was almost excruciating, whether with pain or pleasure he couldn’t quite comprehend.
    His hands gripped her hips harder, and he drove into her again as she came down. She cried out, as the ripples radiated through her body. He picked up the pace, thrusting deep over and over, taking them both careening over the edge. Little stars burst behind his eyes, and for a moment he swore there were fireworks exploding in his head—and maybe through his entire body as wel .
    He flooded her body with jet after jet of his hot seed with her orgasm pulsing around him, stil gripping hard and milking the last drop from him. He reached up and drew her down over him, her breasts pressing tight against his chest. The action sent powerful ripples through her body, and he shuddered with pleasure as the almost brutal pressure squeezed his cock.
    Rose would forever hear her own heart beating wildly. The sound roared in her ears and pounded through her veins. She hadn’t had many sensual experiences, but each time he touched her felt incredibly sensual. The erotic orgasm continued to pulse through her body with shocking intensity. She lay with her head on his chest, al owing, just for a moment, true terror to hold her in its grip.
    Kane could shatter her with the wrong look. The wrong touch. One word. He owned her. Shared her skin. Her heart. Even her soul. She touched her head to his heaving chest, inhaling him. This man. Her man. Her body came apart and flew. Her soul did the same. She’d never considered, al those months ago, that he would become such a part of her that she wouldn’t want to have to find a way to live without him.
    It al came down to trust. She’d trusted him with her body. And with her son. And now with her heart. She had just given herself to him. Al of her. Every inch. Was that what love was supposed to be? Handing the very core of your being into another’s keeping? The doing of it was terrifying. Exhilarating. So unexpected.
    Kane’s arms were comforting, as was his scent. She stayed right where she was, straddling his hips, her thighs hugging his, feeling safe, even as she felt total y exposed. He stroked her hair, his hands gentle. She always found his gentleness surprising. He was a big man and looked as dangerous as hel . She wasn’t used to gentleness or caring. She hadn’t known she could feel the way she did about anyone, let alone a man.
    Because of Kane, she had Sebastian. She had a home. A life. At least the opportunity for those things if she had the courage to see it through.
    “Are you crying, sweetheart?” Kane asked.
    His tone, unfailingly understanding, made her want to weep the tears that remained gathered behind her eyes. “Not exactly. It’s just that you’ve given me so much, Kane.”
    His hand stil ed in her hair. “It’s the other way around, Rose. I wasn’t ful y alive until you came into my life. I wasn’t unhappy, but then I didn’t know enough to be. You showed me what life could be like.”
    Rose’s heart took a slow, somersaulting turn. He’d described in words exactly how she felt about her life. She knew the few soldiers she’d met felt sorry for her, but neither she or her “sisters” felt that way about their lives. They didn’t know any other way to live. They had enjoyed many aspects of their childhood. It had been harsh and even at times cruel, but they had been close and enjoyed the physical activities they excel ed in.
    Now, after feeling an alien in a strange world when she’d been on her own, she realized she hadn’t known real happiness. Kane had shown that to her.
    He had brought her so much, and if he ever betrayed her ...
    A smal sob escaped, and she clamped down on it immediately, ashamed of her weakness.
    “Baby,” Kane soothed. “Listen to me. You have to look at me while I tel you this. I know when you
