I let out a contented sigh, too boneless and satiated to tease him back.

“And I’m just getting started with you.”

I opened my eyes to see his burning back into mine. Before I could respond, he scooped me into his arms and carried me to the bed. With a gentle toss, I landed on my back. Marcus moved between my legs and kneeled between them, pressing his hands on either side of my head as he hovered above me, his huge biceps bulging while he held himself up. They flexed as he lowered himself down, brushing a soft kiss against my lips.

“I don’t suppose you have a condom?” he asked, and I shook my head with a laugh. “Hold on. Let’s hope Hector stocked this nightstand appropriately.” Marcus leaned over and opened the drawer, grinning when he pulled out a blue square wrapper. “Hell yeah, Hector. Good man.”

I bit my lip in anticipation as I watched him slide it down the impressive length of his cock. Even though my body had already released every last bit of tension it had ever known, I still wanted more. I wanted all of him.

Marcus lowered himself between my legs and kissed me again. As he waited to enter me, he whispered against my lips, “Are you sure? There’s no going back if I do to you what I want to do to you. If we do this, Irene, you’re mine. You’ll always be mine.”

His. There was nothing I wanted more than to be his and only his. I looked up and saw the intense look smoldering like fire in his molten, amber eyes. He resembled a wild animal again, a predator now claiming me as his prey. And I’d never been more certain of anything that I wanted him to devour me, body and soul.

“Yes,” I panted as I grasped his back and pulled him against me. “I’m sure.”

My words caused him to growl as he pressed his lips into mine. He took my cue and entered me as he deepened our kiss. I moaned inside his mouth, the feeling of fullness taking my breath away as he pushed inside. It wasn’t just physical fullness I experienced; it was an emotional fullness. I felt our bodies connecting... our souls connecting.

As our sweat-slicked bodies moved as one, I gave up the last inhibition that had tethered me for my entire lifetime. I let it go... I let everything go. In this moment, the only thing that mattered was us. For an hour, our bodies connected in ways I’d never imagined, and he made me scream his name on repeat more times than I could count. I gave up my control, my body, and all of my fears as I submitted to the carnal need for him. I let his power envelop me as he commanded every inch of me to his will. It wasn’t just sex happening between us. It was a bond tethering us to one another that I knew could never be broken... even if we were apart. Even if I never saw him again. Our bond together was now absolute.

Marcus lifted my knees over his shoulders, pushing deep inside me as he stared down into my eyes. My body shook again in anticipation, then another wave of pleasure moved through me as Marcus growled out my name. His body tensed and tightened, and he held himself inside of me as the movement between us finally stopped.

“Fuck,” he said on a soft snarl before flopping onto his side. He panted hard as he pulled me into his arms. I pressed my head to his sweaty chest and slid my leg between his.

“Holy shit,” he breathed.

“Holy shit is right,” I agreed as I struggled to catch my breath.

“That was... it was—”

“Incredible,” I answered. “It was incredible.”

“Yes. That’s the word I’m searching for.” He pressed a kiss to my forehead.

I leaned up and captured his lips against mine, pausing to inhale the taste of his tongue as I did my best to stop mine from forming the words I so desperately wanted to say.

I love you, Marcus.

“I’m so sweaty. I need to shower again,” he laughed, completely unaware of the internal struggle going on inside me.

“Yeah. Me too.”

He arched an eyebrow and looked down at me. “Well, in the efforts of helping the environment you so very much love, I think we should shower together to save water.”

“Is that so?” I matched his raised brow.

“Mmm-hmm.” His sexy smile mirrored the mischief flickering in those amber eyes.

“Well, for the environment.”

He hopped up and yanked me to my feet. I laughed as he covered me with kisses, then wrapped a towel around me before wrapping one around him. It was good to see this softer side of him, and I wished more than anything I could stay longer to enjoy it. But that doom deepened in my gut as I reminded myself this was just one night.

One magical night together before I had to let him go.

I fought the tears that wanted to spill, shoving them down and replacing them with a smile. I still had time tonight to enjoy him, and I wasn’t going to miss one second in his arms.

“Let’s get you all scrubbed up, Sweetcheeks.”

He slapped my ass, and I laughed as he grabbed me by the hand and tugged me to the shower.
