I nod, and for the first time, I believe him. I believe that he can keep me safe even from my past. Even from all the dark and broken parts.
With Lex, I am safe.

Lex
I wake up early, curled around the most beautiful girl in the world, and resist moving to avoid waking her. I look up and out the windows where light pours in and birds chirp, watching as they flit from branch to branch, making them sway.
I think back over the dinner and how vastly different it must have been from anything she had ever known. The contrasts between my family and hers are so wide. How she survived the dinner with us all, I will never know. I can only imagine how difficult it must have been for her to see and experience many of what I consider ‘normal’ things that I take for granted. Did she understand the context? Get the normal, every day inside jokes?
Jude starts to stir, so I bring her closer, taking a deep breath, sucking in her scent while trying to avoid igniting my morning wood. I need to see how she is before getting ramped up for sex.
Her hands grab mine and pull them tighter around her, and she wiggles sexily back toward me, which is not helping matters. I close my eyes and draw on my reserves of steel, willing my body to cooperate and not ravage her completely. What I need is to distract myself.
“G’morning, beauty.”
“Hey, handsome.”
“How do you feel about doing something ‘normal’ today? Fun, but normal.”
She turns her head slightly to hear more.
“What were you thinking?”
“Well, I was thinking, maybe a date. It’s kinda backward for us, but I want to take you somewhere, spend some time with you, get to know you more.”
She chuckles and pulls me tighter again.
“I would love that,” she pauses to consider for a minute, and then adds, “but what would that look like? What would we do? Where would we go?”
“That is a great question. But you will have to let me make you breakfast to find out.”
In a flash, before she can respond, I pull away playfully and dash out of the bed.
“No, wait. Not fair. I need to pee first.”
“You snooze, you lose!” My laugh echoes in the hallway as she throws a pillow that falls far short of reaching me.
“You wait a second,” she yells after me, and I rush into the bathroom.
Jude is hot on my heels, though, and shoves the door open before I can even get it closed all the way. The smile on her lips leaves me breathless, and I reach for her without thought.
“If you want to win against me, you gotta be faster than that.” I grin, dragging my thumb across her plump bottom lip.
Her eyes fill with a lustful haze, and I drag my gaze down over her neck, chests, and down to her toned legs. She’s wearing one of my shirts, like she does every night when she goes to bed, and damn does it look good on her. There’s no denying that she’d look better naked, and beneath my body.
Leaning into her body, I nip at her earlobe. “I want you.”
My voice comes out a little rougher than usual, and I move closer, pushing into her soft body, letting her feel how much I want her.
With a fire flickering in her eyes, she pushes back and says, “Then take me.”
That’s all the spark needed to ignite me, and in seconds, I’m naked. Keeping my eyes on Jude, she removes the shirt in the same hurried fashion, and within seconds, we’re both stripped. My mouth waters at the sight before me, perky breasts with hard pink nipples, a slim stomach, and flared hips that I want to squeeze as I slam into her over and over again.
Fuck, I need her now.
“Turn around and grab the edge of the sink,” I growl, barely restraining myself.
There’s a spark of fear in her eyes, but there’s also something else, and even though her movements are hesitant, she still does as I say.
“Do you trust me?” I purr against her back, my cock pressed against her ass.
“If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be here,” she whispers, and our eyes meet in the mirror. She’s so small and fragile, and that just makes me want to protect her more, to tug her into my arms and never let her go.
“Good, because with me, you never have to be scared. I’ll never do anything you don’t want me to do. I’ll never hurt you, and I’ll never put my own needs before yours.” I press a hand on her shoulder, bending her over the sink. “I’m going to get you nice and wet so you can take my cock with ease. So, stay put, and I’ll reward you nicely.” I wink.
“You’re so smug.” She laughs but does as I say.
Spreading lush ass cheeks, I peer at the puckered rosebud between them, knowing someday, I’ll be able to claim that part of her, of course, only when she is ready. Dropping to my knees, I move my gaze lower and onto her pussy, like a man possessed, I bury my face there. I sink my tongue into her channel, fucking her with it until she starts to grind herself on my face.
“Lex, that feels so good, more, please,” she begs so sweetly, and cum beads the tip of my cock. She’s going to have me going off like a rocket at any second, and yet, I cannot deny her pleasure. If she asked me to stop the world from spinning, I would fucking do my best to make it happen. I’ll do anything for her because she deserves it.
Replacing my tongue with two fingers, I ease inside her, and fuck her slowly, while I lick her all the way up to her ass and back down again.
“Oh, god.” She grips onto the sink as I move her body with each thrust of my fingers.
“Come for me, baby girl,” I demand, and she grinds her pussy into my hand. A couple seconds later, she goes off, her release flooding my hand.
I’m mesmerized by her release and take the liquid coating my hand and spread it over the head of my cock and down my length. Then I push up to my full height, grab her by the hips, bend my knees a bit, and press my cock to her entrance.
Our gazes collide in the mirror as I slip deep inside her, her warm heat squeezing me tight enough to elicit a roar from my chest.
Fully seated, with my balls pressed against her ass, I start to move, pulling all the way out just so I can slam back in. She moves against the counter, her hands gripping onto the edge tightly to keep herself in place.
“I can’t go slow, baby. I need you, hard and fast.” I’d love nothing but to take her nice and slow, but I’m burnt out, needing something more, something deeper.
“Take me,” Jude whimpers, and that’s all I need.
Like a man possessed, I move in and out of her ferociously, fucking her like an animal. My thrusts are harsh, the sound of our skin slapping against each other, and my grunts, with her soft whimpers, fill the air. Squeezing her hips a little tighter, I tug her closer, grinding her against my cock. A hurricane of pleasure slams into me, and I hold off, feeling Jude’s channel flutter around me. She’s close, and I’ll be damned if I come before she does.
“Come, baby, come for me.” I tug her up, her back flush to my chest, and snake a hand down between her thighs. Easily finding her clit, I press my thumb against it, knowing the added pressure will light the fuse and set her off.
“Lex…” She groans my name, and I pull out and slam back into her, and just like that, she crumbles, her channel squeezing me so tight she sucks the cum straight from my balls.
