Marked By Pain (The Marked #2)(18)

“I agree,” I breathe, unbuttoning his shirt. His shirt falls to the ground, and I run my hands over his muscular chest and down his toned abs.

“We can stop now, you just need to tell me,” East grounds out as my hand slides over his jeans and I stroke his hardness through the material.

“No, I don't want to stop. I've wanted you for as long as I can remember and I—” I stop when I realise what I was just going to say, and that it could ruin the moment between us if he doesn't feel the same way. East grabs my head with both his hands, looking into my eyes like there is nothing else in the entire world.

“I love you too,” he whispers and then he kisses me. I slide my hands into his hair as we battle for every demanding kiss, both of us desperate for each other. East takes his time sliding down the zip on the back of my dress as we kiss, brushing his fingers down my spine as he goes, and making me shiver from the sensation.

“Cold?” he whispers next to my ear, as he pushes the dress down my shoulders, letting it fall to the ground. East’s eyes widen as he stares down at me, completely naked in front of him. The dress I wore was so tight I couldn’t put any underwear on, but I don't hide from him. I trust East completely. Something snaps in East as he pulls me to him and starts kissing me again, and I kiss him back with just as much passion.

“No, I'm not cold,” I manage to get out when he kisses down my neck, taking his time to find that sweet spot once more and sucking gently on it, sending me crazy with need for him. He picks me up suddenly, carrying me to the bed and placing me down on it. East lowers himself on top of me, and I slide my hands down his chest to undo his jeans.

“Are you on protection, Kenz?” he stops kissing me to ask.

“Yes,” I reply, and he smirks as he crawls down my body. I moan loudly in pleasure as his lips find my right nipple and he flicks his tongue against the hard nub. His other hand slides down my stomach slowly, to tease me, before he cups me. He slides a finger slowly across my slit, teasing me with every slow movement as he watches me for my reaction.

“Fuck, Kenz, you're so wet,” he groans as he slides a finger inside me and I can't help the moan that slips from my lips. His thumb goes to my clit at the same time, rubbing circles as his finger slides in and out of me in perfect rhythm. In a way, I hate that he’s so good at this, but the other part of me doesn't care anymore. Not when he is with me now.

“So close,” I whisper when the pleasure is getting too much and I'm inches away from coming. He moves his hand away, kissing me before sliding off me. East sits up on the bed, pulling me into his lap and pushing his jeans down. He slides a hand to the back of my neck and pulls me closer to him.

“I love you,” I say as I hold myself above him, just the tip of him inside me, before sinking down on top of him and kissing him before he can reply. I move my hips slowly at first, getting used to the size of him, but as our pleasure builds, we both lose ourselves quickly. East pushes me down onto the bed, lying on top of me, and thrusting into me hard and fast.

“Come for me, I want to feel you come on my cock, Kenz,” East whispers in my ear, his seductive tone making me lose all of the control I was holding onto, and I feel myself tightening around him as I come.

“Kenz,” East shouts as he finishes inside me, slowly thrusting as he calms down, resting his forehead on mine.

“Whatever happens, I'm yours, just know that,” he tells me, and then kisses me gently. East rolls off me, pulling a blanket over us, and I lie facing him.

“And I'm yours, that is never changing, East,” I tell him before kissing him. “We have all night, any suggestions for what else we could do?” I ask, not so innocently.

“Don't think I'm finished with you yet, Mackenzie Crowe,” East chuckles as he rolls on top of me and kisses me, cutting me off before I can reply.





Chapter 10





Mackenzie





“Come back soon, but only if it’s safe,” East asks me as I stand at the door, and smooth the creases out of my dress. I lean up, kissing him.

“I wish I didn't have to leave,” I tell him honestly.

“You need to get back before sunrise,” he says, but he doesn't look happy about it either. All I want to do is get back into bed, and repeat what we have been doing for the last few hours. I press a quick, final kiss to his lips.

“Go, before I decide that I can’t let you,” East says, letting me go as I open the door. I look around, seeing the empty hallway before closing it quietly behind me. I walk down the hallway and towards my room, only seeing a few guards around on my way there.

“Kenzie!” I hear Kelly shout behind me, and I turn to see her walking out from a room. She has a white coat on and she is holding a clipboard against her chest. I wait for her to catch up with me, and she pulls me into a hug.

“A little early for you, isn't it?” I ask her.

“I could say the same thing,” she replies as she pulls away. “Come on, I'll walk back with you. I've been up all night in the lab,” she adds.

“Lab?” I ask her as we walk.

“I heard someone was being brought in for testing, and that they will need a good healer if anything goes wrong, so I volunteered to train with the scientists,” she says, shrugging her shoulders. I'm frightened about these tests, but it’s good to know that I will have Kelly with me.
