The Hero She Deserves (Unbroken Heroes #4)

He dropped back until he was flat on the bed and then yanked her until she straddled his upper chest. She reached out and gripped the headboard.

“What are you doing?” Her voice was breathy. “I thought I was too vulnerable?”

“For other things, but not for me taking care of you. I’m going to eat your pussy, and make you come so hard you’ll sleep.”

Her face flushed. “Oh.”

“On my face, gorgeous.”

“I don’t?—”

He cupped her ass and pulled her forward. As he’d guessed, she wasn’t wearing any panties under his T-shirt. His mouth found slick folds.

“Oh, God. Oh, oh?—”

He licked and sucked. Fuck, he loved the taste of her. Soon, she was making sweet sounds.

“Sawyer,” she moaned. Her hips rocked as she rode his face.

“Been dreaming of this for days.”

“You have?” She was breathless.

He speared his tongue inside her, then shifted, and licked her swollen clit.

“I’m close, I’m—” Her release broke and her body shuddered. She chanted his name, and it was the best thing he’d ever heard.

When she collapsed, she rolled onto the pillow beside him. Her hair was spread everywhere, her chest rising and falling fast. She looked up at him lazily, with a satisfied smile.

“Relaxed now?” he asked.

“Yes.” She reached for him. “Let me touch?—”

“No.” He pressed her hand back to the bed. “That was for you.”

She blinked sleepily. “I really like you.”

Shit. Sawyer felt things he hadn’t felt in a long time. Or ever. “I really like you, too.”

She snuggled into the pillow, losing her battle against sleep. “Don’t get hurt, Sawyer. Don’t run off. The people I care about never seem to care back as much. They always leave. I think something in me is broken.”

“You’re not broken, baby.” That was on them, not her.

But she was already asleep. He leaned over and pressed a kiss to her cheek. He slipped out of bed and brushed his teeth again. When he lay back down, she made a sound and shifted toward him.

So damn trusting, and he knew she was a woman who didn’t trust easily.

He wrapped an arm around her. “Whatever it takes, I’ll protect you.”

Screams.

Smoke.

Flames.

Horror.

“Sawyer? Please, wake up.”
