He just nodded toward the bottle, holding it closer to my lips.
“Drink,” he ordered.
So, I drank.
He watched from beneath hooded eyelids as I sipped, and I wasn’t too stubborn to admit my dry tongue was immediately grateful.
Once half the water was gone and I’d had my fill, I dropped my head back onto the pillows. My heart was still hammering like crazy as Cade set the water aside and crawled back over me. He kissed a path along my neck, my head tilting back to give him better access.
I couldn’t lie. The thought of feeling likethatfive more times was…appealing. Maybe I just needed to believe in myself more.
“Did I say six orgasms?” I asked through a breathy moan, spreading my legs further apart as his lips traced a path down my body. “‘Cause I’m pretty sure I meant seven.”
His breath of laughter tickled my belly button, and he looked up with a wicked grin. “Such a demanding fiancée. I better get to work.”
My heart fluttered like a startled bird. I knew he was teasing—that it was a harmless joke—but the way he saidfiancéein that low, gravel-filled voice made it sound so freaking real.

Ellie Darling was the most dangerous type of drug.
The more I tasted of her, the less I cared about anything else but making her come.
I got one more explosive climax out of her, then let Ellie roll us over and pin me to the bed.
“I’ll turn into a pile of Jell-O if you keep doing that,” she warned between panted breaths, her chest heaving distractingly and pulling all my attention. “It’s my turn.”
Ellie didn’t wait for my agreement before crawling backward to straddle my hard length.
She pulled down my swim trunks and ground against me so sweetly that my fingers dug into her hips like they were trying to brand her skin. With nothing between us, she slowly rubbed herself along my length with a moan that had my hips jerking up in reflex.
It was a special kind of torture, tightening my grip on her hips.
“Ellie,” I forced through a clenched jaw, unsure if it was a warning or a command or a plea. I just needed to be inside her, and not being in control had me ready to lose my damned mind.
Her smile screamed feigned innocence as she kept up the same torturously slow pace. “What’s wrong?”
She seemed ridiculously proud of herself as she kept up her little game of rubbing herself against me.
I flexed my fingers against her hips. “Just know that for every minute you tease me, I’ll tease you back for an hour.”
Her soft laugh didn’t sound the least bit scared. “In that case…”
She reached between us to position me at her entrance, and my brain stopped working.
I couldn’t have imagined it better than this. Ellie locked her big blue eyes on mine as she lowered herself onto me, gradually taking every inch. Her lips parted in pleasure while I ground my jaw so tightly it threatened to snap.
As every muscle in my body coiled tighter, I used all my willpower not to move until she could adjust to me.
“Oh, you feel incredible,” she whispered once I was fully seated in her. I would’ve told her the same, but my ability to speak vanished as she began to slowly ride me.
With the stars framing her and her mouth parting in a soft moan, I’d never seen anything more beautiful.
I thrust up to meet her, matching her pace but adding enough force to make Ellie’s head tilt back.
