Dark Redemption (Broken Souls #1)

by Sarah Marsh

  “Yes, Eitan, I want to taste you,” she said, making his cock jump at just the thought of her lips wrapping around it.

  He moved to his knees and shuffled forward until his aching flesh was nudging her beautiful full lips, and when her tongue slipped out to lick his swollen head he knew he was in trouble. There was no way he’d last more than five minutes with her mouth on him. Well, he’d better enjoy what he could for now.

  “More baby, take it all,” he said between gritted teeth as he placed his hands on the headboard to steady himself.

  As she wrapped her lips around him and his cock slid all the way into the warm haven of her mouth, she moaned and the vibrations made his balls pull up in pleasure. He had to remind himself not to move deeper and choke her, but the instinct to fuck her mouth was overwhelming. Her tongue was firmly dragging along the underside of his dick with every movement and the feel of her sucking him down was incredible.

  “Oh God, yes, Sofia…that’s so good,” Eitan said, finally grabbing her head to gently draw her off of his dick after a few minutes in heaven. “But I’m not going to come in your mouth, baby. I want to be deep inside of you.”

  “Please, Eitan,” Sofia pleaded, her eyes a bit frantic with need. She watched him closely as he leaned over and opened the bedside drawer, pulling out a blindfold and a box of condoms.

  “I want you to feel everything without distraction, Sofia,” Eitan said as he carefully covered her eyes and then leaned back to look at her.

  Chapter Sixteen

  God, she was beautiful laying there underneath him, her chest flushed and her breathing erratic in her arousal. He brought his hands up to take each breast in his palms and slowly massage them, ending with a light pinch to her nipples that had her biting her lower lip.

  “I need you, Eitan…please.”

  “What do you need, baby?” he asked as he slowly moved his body lower over her until his balls were resting just above the heat of her pussy. “I want to hear you say it.”

  She moaned again when he moved back just a fraction and let his shaft fall back against her mound.

  “I need your cock, Eitan. I need you inside of me, please!”

  He still had her legs pinned underneath him as he straddled her, but he widened his stance enough so she was open to him. Eitan’s hand was almost shaking as he put on the condom, and then he took the fat head of his shaft and ran it along her soaking folds, rubbing her clit as he went.

  Sofia’s hands were clutching and pulling at the wrist cuffs, and her head was thrashing back and forth. Eitan knew the anticipation of not seeing what he was doing to her was driving her crazy. She whimpered and he knew he couldn’t hold out any longer. He slowly pushed himself down between her swollen folds, her pinned legs making the fit all that much tighter. Sofia was so wet with arousal that his cock slid into her easily, making them both groan in pleasure when he went as deep as he could while they were in this position. He reached down and ran a finger lightly over her swollen clit, feeling her pussy flutter around his cock in response.

  “Jesus, Eitan, I can feel every inch of you like this,” Sofia moaned as he slowly drew back and then stroked into her again. “You feel so good, but I need to come. Please make me come.”

  “I can’t tell you how amazing you feel, baby,” he answered as he leaned forward to kiss her softly and then he began to fuck her like he’d wanted to since the first time he saw her. He knew he wouldn’t finish in this position as he couldn’t get as deep as he needed to be. He pumped his hips hard and kept up the pressure on her clit and it wasn’t long until she was gasping and coming all around his flesh.

  He immediately pulled out and then moved so his hips were underneath her as he slid back inside of her silky depths, still feeling the pulse of her orgasm. She was so deliciously hot and wet as Eitan pounded into her as deep as he could get.

  “Eitan! Oh God!” Sofia screamed as her pussy once again squeezed him tight and he couldn’t hold back any longer.

  He felt the orgasm rush through him as he held himself deep inside of her, thinking that he wanted to stay there forever surrounded by this woman.

  ***

  Sofia just lay there exhausted as Eitan undid the cuffs and removed the blindfold. He chuckled at her shell-shocked expression as he got up to take care of the condom and then returned to the bed. He moved her to lie against his chest and then wrapped his arms around her.

  “So I take it you liked the blindfold?” he asked quietly, his hands running along her bare back.

  “Is that why it was so good?” she asked, looking up at him. “I mean, I’ve had sex before, but it was nothing like that.”

  Eitan kissed her softly.

  “No, Sofia, I think that was just you and me,” he answered quietly, seeming to be lost in his own thoughts.

  They just lay there in comfortable silence holding each other for over an hour. Sofia felt so content and protected in his arms.

  “Do you want some wine?” Eitan finally asked as he kissed her and got out of bed.

  “Sure, that sounds perfect,” she said, getting up as well to use the bathroom.

  Sofia finished up and went to find him. Just as she entered the living room; she heard low music filling the space. It was one of her favorite songs, “Tennessee Whisky” by Chris Stapleton. Sofia wondered for a moment how he had known, then she clued in that he’d been on her computer and he must have seen how she’d played it over and over again. She looked up and smiled when she saw him there, just as naked as she was.

  Eitan was just standing in the middle of the dark room, the barest moonlight filtering through the windows. He looked like some kind of ancient warrior with his fine chiseled muscles and the dark tattoos that only made his pale skin look more ethereal. She could see the various scars he wore all over his body, no doubt a result of his dangerous profession, but they just made him more attractive to her. She knew he would protect her from whatever may attempt to harm her. When he reached out his hand, not saying anything, she placed her palm in his. Sofia let him draw her close to the heat of his body and he began to move her slowly to the sound of the bluesy country song.

  Dancing there in the dark with him felt so right to her. It felt like they were the only two people in the entire world at this moment. It felt like this was exactly where Sofia was supposed to be, with Eitan, in his arms.

  “I don’t know what this is between us, Sofia,” he whispered to her in the darkness. “But I do know that I’ve never felt it before and I don’t think I’m willing to let you walk away.”

  At first Sofia didn’t say anything, and then she looked up toward him and whispered back.

  “I’m not walking away, Eitan.”

  Chapter Seventeen

  He leaned down to kiss her because she couldn’t have given him a better answer. This entire thing between them was crazy. It wasn’t rational, or easy…but it was real. Eitan felt that in every fiber of his being. That day Maddy had suggested he’d meet a woman who could save him from the path he’d been going down, he hadn’t been able to believe in fairy tales anymore. The world had shown him too much darkness. But perhaps she’d been right all along and he’d just been waiting for Sofia to find him.

  “There are things about me, Sofia,” he said softly against her lips. “Things I’ve done that may change the way you feel about me, but you need to know who I am.”

  “Shhh…it doesn’t matter, Eitan,” she whispered back. “That was who you were, and I see exactly the kind of man you are. I feel it.”

  Eitan had once read a quote, “Love is without reason,” and he’d never really understood it until now. Sofia was taking a leap of faith, deciding to trust her instincts about him, and he wouldn’t be a coward, he would do the same for her.

  “Let’s go to bed,” he said, taking her hand and leading her through the dark room. He turned the music off as he walked by.

  “But I’m not tired,” she teased, letting him lead her.

  “Neither am I,” Eita
n answered with a grin as he gently pushed her back onto the bed and crawled on after her.

  He wanted to take his time savoring every inch of Sofia tonight. He hoped this was the beginning of the rest of his life. That because of this surprising woman, he might have a chance of sleeping through a night without having nightmares about the things he saw every day. That somehow, he still deserved a little bit of happiness.

  ***

  Sofia saw the shadow of pain cross over Eitan’s face for a moment and she gently cupped his cheek.

  “Hey, where did you go just now?” she asked softly, running her fingers through his thick hair.

  “Nowhere I want to be while I have you naked in bed with me,” he replied, kissing her gently at first, then delving deeper when she groaned and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him fully on top of her.

  His hands slowly stroked over her skin as if he was memorizing every curve. He teased her with fleeting passes over her breasts and up her inner thighs. When she finally groaned into his mouth and moved her hands to direct his he gently grabbed her wrists and held them above her head.

  “Uh uh. Remember you take what I give you, Sof,” he murmured, kissing and licking his way down her neck and chest until he slowly wrapped his lips around one hard nipple and sucked it into his mouth.

  Sofia could feel his cock, hard and already leaving a wet trail along her thigh as his hips moved against her. She wanted him so badly, her pussy was wet and aching for the feel of his body inside of hers.

  “Please, Eitan,” she whimpered when he moved to settle his hips against hers. “Oh God, yes, that feels so amazing.”

  He threaded his fingers through hers and slowly rubbed his throbbing shaft along her folds, caressing her swollen clit on every stroke. He watched her like she was the first woman he’d ever seen and she loved how intense his gaze was. Eitan dropped more of his weight onto her and ground himself against her. Sofia had a feeling she was going to be sore tomorrow, but it felt so damn good she couldn’t bring herself to care. Finally, he began to move faster, and with one more pass of his cock over her clit, Sofia’s orgasm took her by surprise as her entire body lit up in pleasure.

  “God, you’re beautiful when you come, Sofia.” Eitan said as he gently leaned in and took her mouth in a slow, deep kiss, “I want to take you slowly this time, and really savor it.”

  “That was…intense,” she murmured, still waiting for the tingling to go away in her hands. Most of her blood must have been in more interesting parts of her body at this point.

  Sofia watched as he reached over and grabbed a condom from the nightstand and rolled it onto his swollen cock. She’d never seen a man more beautiful than Eitan, he was everything she’d ever fantasized about and more. So much more than she ever would have hoped for.

  “Are you ready for me, baby?” He kissed her again as he placed himself against her slick opening and pushed in slowly. “Damn, you feel so good around me.”

  She loved the way he slowly filled her up and she wrapped her legs around him, inviting him deeper inside.

  “More, Eitan,” she moaned into his ear. “Give it all to me.”

  The growl and tension in his body told Sofia he was using all his self-control to hold back and take this slow, but she didn’t want him holding back. She wanted Eitan fully, she wanted everything he had to give.

  “Faster, more,” she urged, running her nails lightly down his back until she was cupping his firm ass, urging him deeper.

  “Is this what you want, baby?” he growled as he began to thrust harder into her, pulling almost all the way out before slamming back inside of her.

  “Yes,” she moaned, the sound of their sweat-drenched bodies slapping together only making her want more of him.

  “Fuck, you’re so hot around me, Sof.” Eitan pounded into her. “I’m not going to last much longer.”

  Sofia grabbed one of his hands and moved it toward where their bodies joined. He didn’t need any more prompting than that as his fingers moved over her clit, causing her to tighten around his cock, making the sensations that much more intense.

  “Oh God, yes! Yes!” she screamed as her entire body lit up beneath him and he pushed deep inside of her before matching her with a roar of his own.

  Sofia grumbled and tried to keep him inside of her as he pulled away.

  “Just let me get rid of this, babe,” he said before he got out of bed and went into the washroom.

  When he came back he spooned in behind her and pulled up the thick duvet to cover them both before wrapping his arms tight around her with a sigh.

  Sofia had only a few moments of the delicious feel of his strong arms around her before she fell asleep, wondering what tomorrow would bring.

  Chapter Eighteen

  Eitan woke up early and spent almost thirty minutes just holding Sofia while she slept. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d felt so content. It literally had been years since he could remember even a moment of happiness. His whole life had changed when his sister had disappeared. But life was all about moving forward, and his little sister had always been pushy as hell. He had a feeling that if Tara could speak to him now, she’d be cursing him out, telling him not to be a fool. That he should grab onto this opportunity with Sofia and run like hell with it…Tara always was smarter than her big brother.

  “Good morning, baby,” he crooned as he kissed Sofia’s bare shoulder softly.

  “Mmm, morning,” she replied, still not opening her eyes. “Do I smell bacon?”

  “Yes, you do. I made us breakfast.” He leaned in for a kiss as she rolled onto her back toward him. “Then I’m going to drop you off at a safe place while I go speak to my boss.”

  That had her eyes popping wide open and he could see the wheels turning in her brain as she tensed up.

  “Oh…do you think there’s still a danger?” she asked. “I thought now that they had the drive they’d leave me alone.”

  “I just want to be one hundred percent certain before we go back to your apartment, that’s all,” he answered, then he jumped up and pulled all the covers off before he ran with them into the other room.

  “Eitan, it’s cold!” she squealed and then laughed as the cool air hit her body. “You jerk!”

  “Have a shower and then come and eat.” He laughed at her squeak from the other room.

  Sofia finally came out of the bedroom with a yawn and greedily took the cup of coffee he held out for her.

  “Mmm, gimme,” she murmured, taking a deep inhale at the bold aroma.

  “Your phone kept ringing while you were in the shower. It was your mother,” he said, placing it on the table in front of her. He was trying to keep the expression on his face neutral. “Why do you have twenty-five missed calls all from different men?”

  Sofia went beet red at his question as she looked at her phone and scrolled through the missed calls and messages.

  “Oh my God,” she moaned, covering her face with her hands in embarrassment. “My parents are on a cruise and my mom keeps giving my phone number to single men she meets.”

  Eitan almost spit his coffee out across the table at her explanation. Dear God, what kind of a mother did that?

  “Does she do this type of thing often?” he asked. “These guys could be jerks or serial killers for all she knows.”

  “Well…she’s been concerned for some time over my single status,” she explained with a shrug. “Trust me, if I know my mom, she’s taken them all through the rigorous Jewish mom interview in the first thirty minutes of meeting them. She probably has all their info, from how much money they make to whether they prefer boxers or briefs. My mom has mad skills that way.”

  “Well, maybe you should text her and let her know that you’ve met someone and she can stop trying to fix you up because you’ve got a boyfriend now,” he said with a wink as he put a plate full of food down in front of her.

  ***

  Sofia choked on her coffee when Eitan placed the food in front of her
and declared that she didn’t need her mothers matchmaking services anymore.

  “Is that what I have now?” she asked curiously. “A boyfriend?”

  She could swear she saw him blush and cringe a bit, as if he hadn’t meant to say it quite that soon. Damn, he was adorable. Then he appeared to collect himself and nodded confidently.

  “Yes, you do.” He took her hand and looked into her eyes. “I care about you, Sofia. I know this thing between us is a bit insane, but I’ve never felt this way before. I think it means something.”

  “Me too,” she answered softly. She was so relieved he felt the same way she did. They may have been crazy, but at least they were going to be crazy together.

  “So where are we going?” Sofia asked as they drove out of the city toward the larger rural area.

  “I’m taking you to Maddy’s house,” Eitan answered as he pulled onto a long dirt driveway. “Hays doesn’t know about this place so you’ll be safe with the girls. I’ll just be gone for an hour or so. Then we can head back to your apartment.”

  Sofia was so curious to meet Maddy, she was practically bursting when they pulled up to a large house in the middle of nowhere. It was an older home, with a porch out front, and a big garden along the side. Eitan parked next to an older suburban in front of the garage and came around to open her door for her. They were almost to the front door when it opened and a lovely, middle-aged blonde woman came out with a big smile on her face.

  “Eitan!” She grabbed him for a big hug before pulling back, seeming to examine him for injuries. “We haven’t heard from you in two weeks, I was beginning to worry.”

  “I was just on a job, Maddy, no need to worry,” he answered, stepping back and grabbing Sofia’s hand, and pulling her up next to him. “This is Sofia. I need her to hang out here for a bit while I go talk to someone.”
