Trusting You (Second Chances #2)(54)

He nodded and pushed me gently up against the shower wall, growling in my ear, “I don’t know how I’m going to handle it if he touches you tonight.” He lowered his forehead to mine. “The thought of him being anywhere near you f*cking kills me.”

“Hey,” I whispered against his lips. “I’m yours, Brett. All yours.” Taking his hand I glided it over my breasts and said, “Yours.” Then I took his hand and made him cup me between my legs. “This is definitely yours, too. I ache to feel your touch every day and I will continue to feel that way for as long as you’ll have me.” Lastly, I held his hand and placed it over my heart. “And this right here will always and completely be yours, and no one else’s. It beats for you and it has my entire life, I just didn’t know it.”

Brett groaned and lifted me up under my ass so that my legs wrapped around his waist. “When you pretend tonight to be with him I want you to remember it was me that made love to you tonight, me that puts that ache between your legs, and me that will love you no matter what happens in our lives. If I’m going to have any semblance of control tonight I have to know that you’re body and soul is mine.”

Before lowering me onto his throbbing cock, I looked him straight into his stormy gray eyes and whispered with all my heart, “Always …”

Brett entered me slowly and I rocked my hips along with his while my back glided up against the slick shower walls. He was so deep and quivering between my legs that I shuddered under his gaze and under the spell he cast upon me. I was so in love with him that I couldn’t think straight. He stayed by me even when I’d lied to him and didn’t deserve his forgiveness.

“I love you, Melissa,” he uttered gruffly, holding me tight and thrusting harder. I could tell he was closing in on the edge and I knew I was about to as well.

“I love you, too.”

He lowered his mouth to my breasts and licked the water off my nipples before biting down firmly. Immediately, I was bucking against his body as the orgasm slammed into me from the inside out. As it heightened to its peak that was when Brett pounded harder and lost himself inside me. He held me to him for a moment before lifting me off of him and setting my feet on the floor. My legs felt wobbly, but he held me up and kissed me deeply, mingling the soft taste of his tongue with mine.

“I wish we could stay in here all night,” I pleaded.

Brett chuckled. “Me too, but I have a feeling this mess will all be over soon.”

I sure hope so.

Brett and I didn’t mean to take so long in the shower, so once we were out I rushed to dry my wavy auburn hair and apply my make-up. Since it was a chilly November night I opted for a sleeveless, navy lacy dress paired with a long length cream colored cardigan to keep me warm.

“You look amazing,” Brett acknowledged with a sparkle in his eye.

He looked amazing as well with his hair all tousled and gelled, dressed in expensive dark denim jeans and a gray sweater to match his eyes. He was definitely going to get noticed tonight by all of the ladies, and the good thing about it was … he was all mine and coming home with me.

When Brett and I made our appearance into the living room, Mason stood up and threw his hands in the air. “It’s about damn time,” he snapped. “If it wasn’t for Claire keeping me occupied I would’ve stormed into your room to tell you what I found out.”

“What’s going on?” I asked, looking back and forth between the two.

Claire glanced warily up at Mason and back to me before he explained, “I just got the call. We have all the evidence we need to issue a warrant on Daniel. I have the go ahead to bring him in tonight.”

My mouth dropped open and I shrieked, “That’s great news. We can finally be done with him.” When Mason and Claire didn’t smile, my stomach clenched as the knots twisted and grew in my gut. “What’s wrong with you two? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Mason sighed and closed his eyes. “We found out the information we needed on that hidden account,” he revealed.

“Okay …” I drawled out slowly. “You knew he had the other account so what’s the problem?”

“Yes, I know, Mel. But it’s not the money in the account that I’m worried about. It’s the name on it.”

I froze, and my legs almost buckled beneath me. Shaking my head back and forth, I backed away and collapsed onto the couch. “Are you saying what I think you’re saying?” I choked out, eyes wide.

Reluctantly, Mason nodded and blew out an angry breath. “It’s under your name, Melissa. It doesn’t show any withdrawals made by you or anything, but you’re going to need to answer some questions as well.”

“Dammit,” I shouted. “No wonder he’s trying to lure me back in. I bet he can’t get the money out without me. Please tell me you’re going to bust his ass as soon as we get there. He needs to go down. I don’t know if I can pretend through this mess without wanting to kill him myself.”

“You’re going to have to, Mel. I don’t think arresting him as soon as we get there is the way to do it,” Mason added. “I think we need to make him squirm just a little, don’t you think? He definitely needs to face his sister before I take him anywhere. She deserves an explanation as to why he would f*ck her over and he’s going to do it in front of everyone.”
