“Oh baby…” she whispered. Reaching up to cup his jaw, she leaned into him. “I-I need you too. I’ve been so lost for so long and I didn’t even realize it. You make me feel safe and I haven’t had that since I was a kid. I hated the idea of leaving here. I wanted to stay to be with you, and I need you so badly right now.”
“No.” He pulled back and his fingers traced her ribs. “First, I need to make sure you’re okay.”
She winced at his fingers stroking her ribs and he looked angry. He felt around along her entire body.
Jesse was panting as his hands roamed everywhere. It felt so good. Those strong fingers just made her body come alive.
Looking troubled, he gazed at the cuts on her face. “A doctor first.”
Her lip trembled.
He took a deep breath and shook his head. “Don’t look at me like that.”
She nudged her body closer to his. “Please?”
Lucifer still looked concerned. “What if he broke a rib?”
She shook her head. “I’m a therapist. I know the human body. I think I would know. For one thing, I wasn’t breathless. Until you came in here that is.”
Raising a brow at her, Lucifer looked doubtful.
“Please?” She wrapped her arms around his neck.
“You don’t play fair, woman.”
She shrugged. “I’m Lucifer’s woman. I wouldn’t play fair.”
He stared at her then tilted his head back and laughed.
Startled, Jesse stared at him. When he laughed, he was so sexy and she’d thought that he could get any hotter, but she was wrong.
Then suddenly he stilled and looked into her eyes. “What if I hurt you—”
Jesse stood on her tiptoes and crushed her mouth to his.
Lucifer didn’t hesitate then, he kissed her hard, his tongue dancing with hers.
Yes, yes! Jesse cheered in her head.
He grabbed her and lifting her into his arms, he pushed his way through to the bedroom and laid her down on the bed. He followed and as he covered her body, his lips crashing down on hers.
He took her breath away and she reveled in it.
While he was kissing her, his cock was hard and rubbing her core soaking up her juices, coating the length in her cream. Then suddenly his knees forced her legs apart and then he was there, pushing himself inside her.
Slamming his cock in hard and deep, he was relentless in his rhythm.
Jessie felt her body responding all too well to his movements and she could feel herself getting closer to the edge of no return.
She moaned when he slammed into her and his body rubbed her clit and that’s what sent her over the edge. She cried out his name and then she fell apart.

Lucifer growled, as he loved to hear his name on her lips as she came for him. He then whispered her name and followed her. He slammed into her one more time then held himself deep inside her. He felt his cock erupt as he filled her. He came so hard he saw spots behind his closed eyelids.
It took them both by surprise and neither one of them could move for a moment. Finally, Lucifer moved to her side. But he didn’t let her get too far away from him. He wrapped his arms around her and snuggled her close to him. “You can’t leave me, not after that.”
“I don’t want to go anywhere, and it isn’t just because of the awesome sex.” She laughed. “And it is sooo awesome.” She looked up at him. “It’s because of you. I know we haven’t known each other very long but I think I could love you. While others might not want all your baggage, I do. I want all of you and that includes your nightmares. We all have them, but they’re part of what we are. I may not understand what you and the others went through, but I can help you deal with it by listening to you if and only if you ever want to talk about it. I worked with enough vets to know sometimes, they just need to talk about what they did or what happened to them. I’ll never push for more than you want to tell me but I will listen.”
Lucifer swallowed hard. “I don’t know if I can ever talk about the details.” He started to sweat a little at just the thought of it.
Jessie leaned up on one elbow. “Then just know I’ll never ask you to. When you’re ready, that’s when I’ll listen.”
Lucifer nodded then carefully pressed her head back down to his chest. “Go to sleep now baby. I think we both need to rest.”
Jessie closed her eyes and smiled “Yes, dear,” she whispered. “Whatever you say honey.”
Lucifer smiled at her smart-ass response but didn’t say anything. Instead, he laid his head on hers and closed his eyes. His darkness remained with him for all these years. Not drink, not even riding his cycle ever made it go away. He wondered if she was already helping him to heal? It must be, as he hadn’t held a woman in his arms since before his last tour of duty.
Tomorrow would be another day and he wouldn’t stop claiming her until she knew, she belonged to him and him alone.

ABOUT K. J. DAHLEN
K.J. Dahlen
Author of the bestselling Bratva Brothers Series & The Satan Spawn MC Series…
I live in a small town (population495) in Wisconsin. From my deck, I can see the Mississippi River on one side and the bluffs, where eagles live and nest on the other side. I live with my husband Dave and dog Buddy. My two children are grown and I have two grandchildren. I love to watch people and that has helped me with my writing. I often use people I watch as characters in my books and I always try to give my characters some of my own values and habits.
I love to create characters and put them in a troubling situation then sit back and let them do all the work. My characters surprise even me at times. At some point in the book, they take on a life of their own and the twists and turns they create becomes the story. Of all the stories, I could write I found I like mystery/thrillers the best. I like to keep my readers guessing until the very end of the book.
