[Serenity's POV]
"That's it," he murmurs, running his hands to my ass so that he can begin to guide me. "That's a good girl."
"I love you," I whisper, quickening my thrusts. "I love you so damn much, Maverick."
"I have an idea," I admit, wrapping my arms around his neck. "But I don't mind hearing it from time to time."
"When you look at me with those eyes," he begins, sitting up and hooking my thighs over his arms so he can spread my legs widely, allowing him plenty of room to thrust hard and deep into me. "And when you say my name with those lips," he continues as moans erupt from my lips. "Even when you lay like this in front of me with your cheeks flushed with passion and your eyes sparkling with desire, I just want to devour you."
"I'll drive you crazy if that's what you want," he husks, leaning forward, bending me like a pretzel so his mouth can find mine again. "Anything you ask of me, Serenity," he murmurs, biting my lip. "I'll do it."
Again and again, we do this until we're both too exhausted to move anymore, and even then we simply lay together, me with my head on Maverick's chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart while his large hands run along my hair.
"We should try to sleep." I murmur, notwanting to waste even a second of my time with him sleeping. "We have to leave tomorrow."
"I haven't even said anything." He points out, but even I can hear the frustration in his voice. "But I would love it if you stayed here and let us handle things."
The rest of my words get lost as a loud boom erupts from just below, shaking the building and causingme to jump up and rush to the window. When I reach I see a ball of fire streaking through the sky and before I can tell Maverick to get down, it crashes into the wall sending bricks and debris crashing toward me.
"Yeah. I know."
"Serenity," my father says, turning his gaze on mine. "Why are... fuck! Are you okay?"
I don't get to respond before he is reaching out and brushing his fingers along my forehead, and when he pulls them away, I see blood there.
"That," I begin, but stop as howls soundfrom the distance. "Now isn't the time. Right now, we need to focus on fighting the enemy."
I wait as my father opens and closes his mouth, clearly wanting to argue with me but unable to find anything to say.
"It's fine." I assure him, feeling the place I'm hurt healing already. "Really."
"Clean the blood from your skin." He orders, turning his attention forward. "And don'tyou dare get yourself killed, do you hear me?"
How could I go and get myself killed when there was such a brightfuture waiting for me? There was no fucking way I would let this psycho who has been trying to take away my happiness since I was young win.
