Chapter 23
Jasmine
Kane steps out of the cabin, blood splattered all over his clothes and hands. For a moment, his eyes are haunted as they meet mine. The worry and self-hatred masked within
a flash, as the powerful man I always see reappears in front of me, bottling up all the hurt and anger.
A sad smile plays at his lips as he gazes at me. When I first met him, he was pure power, but it’s clear how big a heart he hides. His part as his brother’s right-hand man isn’t who he is. It’s what he does, but it doesn’t define him. The power he emanates on the outside-that brutal and vicious part of him is for show-to make sure enemies know he can’t be fucked with. Weakness means giving his opponents a chance to hurt him and those he cares about. I understand that now.
I’d been so angry at my step-father, I wanted to pull the trigger. But, seeing what killing dose to Kane and the way it affects him, I’m glad he stopped me. Sure, Alex was an asshole, and he deserved to die for what he planned to do to me, but I’m not sure I could live with pulling the trigger.
I walk toward him and wrap my arms tightly around his waist. The blood-soaked clothes getting blood all over mine, but I don’t care. All I care about is that we’re both safe and together. “Thank you,” I mutter, tightening my grip around his waist.
His hands land on my shoulders, and he pulls back to look into my eyes. “Thank you for what?”
“Thank you for saving me from my asshole of a step-dad.” I bite my bottom lip. “And, for saving me from making a big mistake.”
He nods, smiling down at me. “You’re welcome, baby girl.” His eyes fall to my ruined dress, and he sighs. “I’m so sorry about our wedding.”
I shrug. “We could still go back and get married.”
He shakes his head, pulling me close and kissing me softly-softer than he’s ever kissed me before. “We will rearrange it and get you a new dress, I want it to be a special day for both of us.”
I can’t help but smile, feeling happy, all things considered. My heart feels like it could burst, as I gaze up at the man I’ve fallen for. “I love you,” I mutter, resting my head on his hard chest and shutting my eyes. “I love you so much it hurts.”
Kane chuckles, wrapping his arms more tightly around my waist and lifting me from my feet. “I love you too,” he whispers into my ear, almost too quiet for me to hear. It’s enough though. We may have only known each other for two weeks, but they’ve been the happiest two weeks of my life.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
He spins me around in a circle, making me giggle. I never thought my step-dad being an asshole would have lead me to the man of my dreams. He’s everything I’ve ever wanted and more than I ever could have imagined.
I’ve been alone all my life-Until now.
“Okay, break it up love birds,” Leo says from behind us, shocking Kane into dropping me to my feet, rather suddenly. I’ve barely spoken to either of Kane’s brothers. To be honest, he’s kept me hidden in his room, scared to let me out. “Not sure we’ve officially been introduced, sister-in-law to be.” He bows slightly and Kane’s eyes narrow.
“Don’t be such an ass, Leo.”
He steps forward, grabs my hand and kisses the back of it. “It’s a pleasure to meet you Jasmine.” He glances at Kane. “Are you sure he’s not too old for you?”
Kane growls lowly, taking a step forward.
Leo takes a step back, holding his hands up in the air. “I’m only messing, big brother.”
I take Kane’s hand in mine and squeeze it gently. “He’s definitely not too old for me,” I say, smiling up at him. “I’m looking forward to getting to know you better though, Leo.”
Leo smiles genuinely and nods. “I like her, Kane.”
Rick steps out of the cabin and our eyes meet. There’s a slight irritation in his expression, as he steps forward. “Yeah, odd you were going to marry the girl and hadn’t even taken a moment to introduce her to your brothers.” He steps forward and takes my hand in a rather firm hand-shake. “I’m Rick.”
I nod. “I know.”
He smiles and then chucks Kane a bag. “Change your clothes and burn them.” He glances at me. “You too, sweetheart.” His attention returns to Kane. “See you back at the house.”
He walks passed us toward one of SUVs parked in the forest, and Leo follows, leaving us alone again. Three men step out of the other SUV with bags full of supplies, heading into the cabin. I get a feeling they intend to burn it down, considering the amount of petrol they’re hauling in there.
“I used to come up this way when I was younger,” Kane says, grabbing my hand. “Come on, I know somewhere we can wash off.”
I let him lead me down a path that leads deeper into the forest, the path dropping downward into a valley. The sound of rushing water catches my attention, and I know exactly where he’s taking me. There’s a small waterfall and natural swimming hole a little way from the cabin. I used to spend hours by it, escaping my mom and Alex’s bickering.
Kane strips the moment we get there, dumping his clothes to one side and pulling out a match. My heart races at the sight of his muscled and tattooed body, flooding me with an aching need instantly. It’s impossible to keep my eyes off his impressive, semi-hard length between his tights.
“Come on, kit off,” he says, eyes full of that fiery passion that melts me into a puddle. He nods toward the pile. It’s ridiculous that I flush at the thought of getting naked out here with him, considering everything we’ve done.
I strip my clothes off, feeling bare as the summer breeze whips around my body. My nipples are hard and peaked from my arousal and the cool air.
Kane strikes the match, chucking it onto our bloodied clothes and setting them on fire. I cross my arms over my chest, feeling vulnerable as his eyes return to me. “Come here, baby girl,” he growls, sending more heat through me.
I can feel my juices dripping down my thighs already, and he hasn’t even touched me yet. I walk toward him and the moment we’re close, he pulls me into him, kissing me hard and passionately.
The thick length of him throbs against my tummy, making me moan into his mouth. He wraps his arms around my waist and hoists me up, forcing me to wrap my legs around him. He groans, deeply, as his cock settles against my slick lips.
Kane steps into the water, holding me. My heart rate spikes as the cool water washes over my body, making me shudder. “It’s cold.”
Kane smiles. “Don’t worry, I intend to warm you up, baby.”
He perches on a smooth rock beneath the surface, holding me in his arms. The hard length of him presses into my arousal. “Fuck me,” I moan, as he captures my lips with his.
I rise up and let his cock spring free, the swollen head nudging against my slick entrance. With one quick thrust, I force myself over him, moaning at the satisfying fullness of stretching around his throbbing length.
“That’s it baby girl, ride me,” he groans, digging his fingers into my ass cheeks. I moan, as he slaps my ass in the water. “Take Daddy’s thick cock.” I ride him harder and faster, making him groan against my neck.
“Fuck,” I say, feeling my orgasm edging toward me already. It feels so freeing and good, making love to Kane out here in nature. Despite everything that he does and who he is, I love him.
He grabs hold of my hips, stopping me and standing in the water. My pussy still tightly clenched around his thick, throbbing length. I moan as he fucks me standing up, driving deeper than he’s ever gone before. It’s primal and desperate, like animals mating. The noises we are making are almost feral as he drives us both toward the edge.
My fingertips dig into his shoulders, clawing at him as heat filters through my body. He sits back down on the rock, grabbing my wrists and forcing them behind my back. Kane holds them tightly in one hand, keeping me restrained as he thrusts his hips hard and fast.
The water around us splashing as he drives into me. I can feel my orgasm building to a peak, as he keeps me restrained, grunting and groaning as his cock hardens inside of me. “Come for me, baby girl,” he growls, pumping into me on more.
“Fuck, yes, Daddy,” I cry out, as I come all over his cock.
He roars as he comes undone, unloading his thick cum deep inside of me. He doesn’t stop fucking me through my orgasm, making sure every drop is drained from his balls.
When he finally stops, I collapse into his chest. He lets go of my wrists, letting me wrap my arms around his neck. The heat of his body filters into mine, and I no longer notice the cold water around us.
All I’m aware of is the man whose arms I’m in. He kisses my neck gently and tenderly. “You’re so beautiful, Jasmine,” he whispers into my ear, pressing his lips to the base. “And, all mine.”
I nod my head, finding his lips with mine. “All yours,” I mutter against his lips.
