He smirks. “Good luck, brother.”
Luck has nothing to do with it. I will convince them. I have to.
“How was Seattle? Shannon?”
“Surprising... good. Shannon turned a corner and the entire time we were there she was able to be loose without incident.”
“That’s wonderful news. I’m sure the girls are thrilled,” I smile, thinking about how happy Marina is probably feeling. She has been so worried about Shannon.
“They are.” He chuckles and I narrow my eyes at him in awhat’s so funnyexpression. “I think Anderson has his work cut out for him with that one.”
“How so?” I raise my brow in question.
“Shannon is his lap dog and he doesn’t seem to hate it.”
That is funny. Anderson is a tough nut to crack. He’s rigid and sarcastic—not the dating type.
“The girls wanted to bring her home, but she refused. She’s decided to stay on in Seattle and help with the new bite initiative. She thinks Marina’s plan will work. They’ve got it all figured out.”
I smile thinking about Marina. I can’t wait to get to her.
“Can you find something to keep Maggie preoccupied?”
“Why?” He draws out the word.
“I want to be alone with Marina.”
He gets up, smirking. “I’ll see what I can do.”Asshole.

By the time I finally make it up to Marina’s room, I’m relieved to find her all alone. I don’t want to make small talk with Maggie or delay my time with Marina any longer. I need her. I crave her.
Stalking toward her bed, I know Marina sees what I intend. Her eyes are wide and her lips are parted. She wants this too. “Julian, I—”
“Scoot up,” I demand, motioning for her to move toward the top of the bed. She does as I say, though agonizingly slowly, never breaking eye contact with me.
I pull her denim skirt from her legs, taking a pair of black lace panties with them. Marina lifts her sweater and bra up over her head and then she’s laid bare to me. I've never seen anything so beautiful in all my life. Her eyes darken to a deep blue, hooded and wanting.
My hand roams up the inside of her legs, causing her to shiver at my touch. I continue my climb over her flat stomach, lingering for some time over her breasts, until our faces are inches apart. Leaning down, I place delicate kisses along her jaw. “I need you, Marina.”
Her breath hitches. “Please, Julian.”
Without another word, I discard my pants and after far too long, I push inside of her. I smother her moan with my mouth, not because I give a shit if anyone hears, but because I want to taste her.
Her hips rise to meet my thrusts and as much as I want this moment to last all night, I know I’m climbing toward that euphoria that only Marina can bring me to. “Marina, I—”
“I’m with you,” she breathes. “I’m right here with you.”
Together we fall over the edge, blissful beyond measure.
I collapse next to Marina, pulling her into my side. She’s panting and I can’t help the smirk plastered across my face.
“What’s so funny?” she chides, smacking my chest.
“I love that I do that to you,” I admit.
“Only you, Julian.”
