Page 90 of His Forbidden Obsession

“Lorenzo.”

I scowled at him. “You owe me for this.”

Niko rolled his eyes. “Fine.”

“I’ll punish you for pushing me. I hate doctors.”

“Punish me all you want. I need to know you’re okay.”

That I could do. “You may regret saying that.”

He smiled. “No, I don’t think I will.”

Niko walked in front of me down the stairs, my gaze drifting to his ass cheeks. I didn’t care what the doctor said. I was getting my hands on him as soon as I could. I needed sleep—if I was allowed it with my concussion—and food, and a lot of time to think and process what had happened in the last few days, but I didn’t care. All I could think about was fucking Niko again.

As predicted, I was diagnosed with a mild concussion and told to rest my eyes, stay off screens, avoid vigorous activity, and be woken every four hours. Niko wrote down everything the doctor said while I plotted revenge.

When we were finally alone in our assigned bedroom, I grabbed Niko by his waistband and pulled him back against me. “It’s about time I got you alone,” I said, letting my warm breath tickle his ear. “Do you know how long I’ve been waiting to get you naked again?”

“Lorenzo.” He pulled away from my hold. “I don’t think⁠—”

“I had cleanup to deal with, the ride home, talking to Remington, checking on my brother, being forced to see a doctor. And now, finally, I have you. All I could think about when I ran back to the cabin was what had happened to you—if you were in there, if you were safe, if you were alive. God, I need to feel your body against mine.”

“That sounds amazing,” Niko said, “but the doctor just told you to rest.”

“That’s bullshit. I’m fine.”

“Lorenzo.”

I narrowed my eyes at him. His reluctance wasn’t just because I was injured. I was sure of that. “That’s not all, is it? There’s something bothering you.”

“What you said to Remington about me staying until Ivanov was found. Do you really think he’ll relent once Ivanov is dead? Will you have to send me away then?”

“Do you actually think I would let that happen after what I promised you last night? You’re mine. No one is going to separate us. Getting Remington to agree to you staying longer allows him to back down slowly. It gives us time for him to get to know you better and time for him to see how much I love you.”

“Oh, Lorenzo. I love you so much. You… you really feel the same way?”

This time, he let me pull him against me without protest. “I absolutely do. I’m not letting anyone take you. You belong with me.” I kissed him, softly at first and then harder. Finally, he pulled away, shaking his head. “We can’t do this now. You need to take it easy. You need to heal.”

“Remember what I said when you dragged me to the doctor?”

Niko frowned. “I don’t want to argue about that.”

“Then strip and bend over the bed.”

“What?”

“You heard me. And you better do it quick. I’m not in any mood to wait.”

He shook his head. “No, Lorenzo, you can’t.”

“I’m in charge, and you’re going to do exactly what I say. I won’t do anything that’s going to hurt me.”

“You’re not going to fuck me half to death like you did last night?”

I smiled. “We’ll see. Now, turn around and bend over the bed.”

He did as I said. I ran my hand up the length of his spine, pushing it into his hair and massaging his head. He groaned and wriggled, shaking that gorgeous ass at me. That’s when I brought my hand down hard on his ass.
