“Fuck, you’re so tight and juicy,” he said as he pushed a finger into her wet heat.

“Daddy, please.”

He loved when she called him that, and he was going to want that a lot more in the future. It felt deeper and more special than if she called him honey or sweetheart.

“Please,” she begged.

“I know, baby. I’ll take care of you.”

He rolled on top of her, spread her legs apart, and made space for his hips between her thighs.

“Do you know how many times I dreamed of being like this? Of making love to my baby?” he asked her.

“I did, too.”

He started to penetrate her and gritted his teeth. Hell, she was so fucking tight. Much like she’d been when they first made love. But this time, she gave herself freely without the fear of the unknown. She knew now that he was going to make her feel so good.

“Easy, pet. We will take this first time slow and easy, so we don’t hurt you.

“Oh, my God, please, Cullen.”

He held her tightly in his arms as his cock entered her.

She whimpered in need, and he groaned when he was finally able to work his cock all the way into her.

The bonding had begun. He started thrusting into her with slow, even drags. At the same time, their eyes locked. It was like seeing inside her soul. It had always been like this where he felt this depth of emotion when they made love.

The days, weeks, and months drifted away, and it was like they’d never been apart.

He repeatedly stabbed his cock inside her, slowly gaining strength. He knew he wasn’t going to last much longer, and by the cries coming from her and the way her cunt kept trying to suck his cock deeper, she was also ready to blow. “Come for me, baby.”

A scream tore from her throat as her body convulsed, and her cunt clamped down on his cock, making it nearly impossible for him to move. He pushed deep, trying to make the pleasure last.

His eyes slid closed as a feeling beyond ecstasy raced through him.

When he felt her cunt muscles relax, he took his turn and pounded into her as if trying to imprint himself on her.

His seed was shooting out of him, filling her cervix and mixing with her cum within a minute. He continued to fuck her until his cock started to soften.

He closed his eyes and concentrated on gaining some control and strength back in his body. When he felt steady enough, he bent his head, and his mouth covered hers with a hunger he knew would never be appeased.

After gaining some control, Cullen pulled out of her and tucked her against his body. Now was when he would learn what happened to her and finally answer all his questions.

Chapter Eleven

“Let’s talk.” He got them situated, lying down and facing each other. “Now, tell me.”

He let his hand drift up and down her back when she started shaking with anxiety. He watched her take a deep breath.

“It was the day before we were headed home, and I didn’t feel good. I got worse, and we both got so worried we went to the ER. It was hard being there because we had to have an interpreter with us. Fortunately, they found a doctor who was actually from the US and over in Germany, training men and women on some new procedure. They diagnosed me with sepsis.”

Oh, hell. “That’s bad, and it has to do with your blood, right?”

She nodded. “Yes, I was sick and put in ICU. They kept me there for six weeks.”

Jesus, the thought of her that sick made him crazy. He wanted to howl out his fury at the fact that she was in pain. After a few breaths, he continued. “Go on.”

“My heart stopped a few times, but they were able to bring me back.”
