“What are you talking about?”

“Why didn’t you tell him the truth? That I’m your husband.”

I unleash Paul and know Nick’s right. It crossed my mind to introduce him as my husband, say that I got married, but for the first time, I understand what Nick felt earlier when the situation was reversed. The whole thing feels a little strange still.

“I’m sorry. You’re right. But, don’t be mad at Ryan. He’s actually very sweet.”

“Sweet?” Nick makes a face. “C’mon, Sav. Guys aren’t sweet unless they want something.” Nick takes a step closer, silver-gray eyes flashing. “Did he ever hit on you?”

“No!” I burst out laughing.

“What’s so funny?”

I realize I’m about to say he’s way too old for me then bite my lip. He and Nick are probably the same age. “Nothing. He’s just...harmless.”

But, Nick shakes his head. “No, I saw the way he looked at you. It was far from harmless.”

I’ve never heard Nick sound jealous. But, there is no denying it. He’s positively green with envy over Foxy Flyboy. I chew my lower lip, trying to hide my smile and I think it just makes Nick more mad.

“You think this is funny?” Nick demands.

“I didn’t think you were the jealous type.”

His nostrils flare and he checks his emotions. “I’m not,” he says. Then, his arm snaps out and he pulls me against him. “But, you make me a little crazy,” he growls and slams his mouth down against mine.

Nick holds me tight, almost too tight, and he pushes his tongue between my lips, kissing me in a way he hasn’t before. It’s fast, hard, demanding and totally unexpected.

And, I like it. A lot.

I wind my arms around his neck and he slides his hands over my rear-end and scoops me up. I wrap my legs around his waist and he pulls his mouth free and looks around, breathing hard. “Where’s your room?”

“That way,” I say.

Nick carries me down the hall and into my bedroom, pries me off and tosses me onto the bed. He pulls his shirt over his head and then starts to work his jeans off. There’s a savage look in his eye and the slow, gentleman from the other night is nowhere to be found.

Heat gathers low in my stomach as I watch him.

“Take your clothes off,” he says, now only in his boxer briefs. Then, he heads back into the other room.

My heart thunders at the order. I’ve never seen this predatory, almost feral side of him before, and I’m not going to lie. It’s turning me on and I’m a little scared. But, in a good way. My blood is pumping hard as I slide off the bed and take my t-shirt and capris off.

When Nick returns, he kicks the door shut and tosses a few condoms on the nightstand. His gaze runs over me, still in my bra and underwear. “Why aren’t you naked yet?”

I swallow hard. “Maybe I was hoping you’d help me.”

Heat flares in his eyes. He stalks over, slides my bra straps down my arms and dips his head to swirl his tongue from the top of one breast to the other. “I’m not feeling especially patient tonight, Savannah,” he warns me and I feel a nip through my satin bra.

I gasp, arch into his chest and slide my fingers through his hair. Then, his long fingers trail down my sides and hook into the top of my panties. He yanks them down and I let out a surprised sound. His hand drops between us and when he cups me, my body jerks at the intimate touch. “You are all mine and this belongs to me,” he whispers, eyes flashing. “Say it. Tell me you’re mine.”

“I’m yours,” I whisper.

“Don’t ever forget it.”

God.When he begins stroking me, my legs turn to jelly, and Nick scoops me up with a curse. He lays me out on the bed, then drops down at the edge of the mattress and drags me closer, returning his attention back to below my waist. I bite my lip when he slides a finger inside me. Then, his dark head drops between my thighs and I bite the inside of my cheek as his mouth begins to suck and lick.

“Nick,” I moan. God, he’s really too good at this and I try to squeeze my thighs together, fighting the overwhelming sensations that seem to be pushing me right to the edge of a precipice.

But, he’s not having it and shoves his hands under my ass, lifts me right up off the mattress and buries his face between my legs. I gasp, dig my nails into the bedspread and feel totally out of control.
