Chapter 6. Sky

Chapter 6 – Sky POV: Night of Fire

The adrenaline was fading, replaced by a heat that spread through me in a way I hadn’t expected. My legs still trembled, but it wasn’t fear anymore—it was something else. Something raw, dangerous, and impossible to ignore.

Ghost had handled the men like he was born for it. Quick, lethal, precise. And yet, when he turned to me afterward, chest heaving, eyes dark and stormy, I forgot the danger entirely.

“You okay?” he asked again, his voice low, deep, vibrating through me.

“I… yeah,” I whispered, though my voice shook slightly. “Thanks to you.”

He didn’t say anything, just stepped closer. Too close. The air between us thickened. My pulse spiked, my body betraying me again.

His hand brushed a loose strand of hair from my face, fingers warm, strong. My stomach fluttered as his thumb traced my cheekbone. “Sky,” he murmured, almost a growl. “You shouldn’t be out here alone.”

I opened my mouth, trying to form words, but all that came out was a shiver. His proximity was intoxicating. Dangerous. And I wanted it anyway.

Then he leaned in, and my breath caught. His lips captured mine in a kiss that was at once gentle and demanding, a mixture of control and surrender that made my knees weaken. My hands shot up, tangling in his hair, pulling him closer.

His body pressed against mine, heat radiating through every inch of skin. I could feel his strength, his power, and the way he wanted me—no hesitation, no games. Just raw, consuming desire.

“I want you,” he whispered against my lips, voice rough and urgent. “Tonight. Here. Now.”

Something inside me broke. The fear, the caution, the past—they all fell away. I wanted him too. More than I had wanted anyone in years. I nodded, almost breathless, and his lips claimed mine again, this time deeper, more possessive.

He lifted me effortlessly, pressing me against the kitchen counter. His hands roamed, exploring, memorizing, leaving me trembling in his grasp. My back arched instinctively, pressing into him, needing more.

“God, Sky,” he growled, voice low, raw. “You’re perfect. You don’t know what you do to me.”

I gasped as his lips trailed down my neck, teasing, biting just enough to make my toes curl. Every nerve in my body was on fire. I wrapped my legs around him instinctively, pulling him closer, feeling the hardness of him against me.

He kissed me again, hands roaming, teasing, claiming. And then, without warning, he paused, forehead resting against mine. “Are you sure?” he asked, voice softer now, almost tender.

I nodded, breathless. “Yes. I… I want this. I want you.”

He smiled, a dangerous, predatory smile that made my heart race, and then he pressed himself fully against me, lips, hands, body, claiming me in a way that made the world outside disappear completely.

The night stretched on, a blur of sensation, desire, and trust being built in fire and heat. Every kiss, every touch, every whispered word made me forget everything except him. For the first time in years, I felt alive.

And when it was over, we collapsed together, bodies entwined, breath mingling, hearts beating as one. I rested my head against his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of him, and realized something terrifying—and wonderful.

I trusted him.

Completely.

And I was falling.
