A Burning Flame by Daniella Kunz (the red fox clan .TXT) 📗

my hands over her hips as she glares up at me. I lean down close enough for my lips to brush over her ear. “I think I have waited long enough, Mrs. Saunders.” I feel her head turn and her eyes land on me, burning once again with her desire.

Doing just what I expect her to, she places a hand on her hip. “A little longer won’t kill you I’m sure. Haven’t you ever heard of the saying those that are patient shall be rewarded?” She lifts a brow at me.

I shrug off her defiance. “Never was a patient man.” I bend down, grabbing hold of her as I lift her up and over my shoulder. A gasp of unbelief escapes her perfect lips as she sways behind me. I tilt my head to the wide eyed women around us. “Ladies.” As I march away, with one destination in mind. I hear Gianna giggle behind me, telling me she has had her fair share to drink. It’s not often she giggles, though I love the soft sounds when she does.

“Fucking caveman.” Her words pull a smile to my lips as the room erupts in loud whistles and hollers. Lewd comments, cheering me on to bed her. Which is exactly what I plan on doing.

Gianna

I don’t know what time it is when Daveon rolls away from me, lying on the bed beside me. His breath is fast and short and his body is covered in a sheen of sweat. My eyes roam over him greedily as if my hands weren't all over him moments ago as I screamed his name. Studying him my heart constricts. I love this man, everything about him, from his playfulness to his serious hard interior. I love our ongoing banter. I love how he holds me, how he has the ability to make me feel small and safe in his arms. Making me feel like I don't have to be tough. That I can be vulnerable around him and let my guard down.

As if sensing my gaze on him he opens his eyes, staring at me intensely. "Come here." Without having to think my body reacts pulling closer to him. Wrapping me in his arms he places a kiss over my forehead.

He rolls me over, pinning me below him on the bed. His body melting into mine. I relish the closeness as all of my senses are flooded with him. He pulls back slightly to look squarely down at me, his gaze suddenly serious.

He clears his throat before speaking. "Gianna, I never met someone who drives me more insane than you do. Half the time I don't know if I want to kiss you or spank you, but there's no denying I love every bit of that fucking smart mouth. I love the fire you have and the overwhelming smell of cinnamon whenever you're close." He leans down nudging his head into my neck as he inhales. I feel the warmth and softness of his lips as he places them to my skin. Leaving a light trail of kisses behind as he makes his way to my lips. He brushes them lightly over mine as he continues.

"I promise to protect you and keep you safe. I may be a horrible man but for you, I'll be the hero you tease me to be." My eyes prick and I push my lips into his.

"I love you." I mumble against his mouth. He draws back, moving his lips back down my throat, setting my skin on fire in their wake.

"Say it again." He gruffs out.

"I love you, Daveon." I say again with sincerity as I feel the burning flame of desire and love overwhelm me. I look into his auburn eyes that spark to life at my words. His lips crash down onto mine, claiming me and reaffirming the three words I just repeated.

"You're all mine." He growls out possessively.

"All yours." I say as I give myself to him wholeheartedly.
