Dannika knelt on the floor by Raine’s feet. “I don’t want you hurt, and I don’t want you to have to kill Maddock. There has to be another way.”

“I wish there was.”

Dannika put her hand on Raine’s knee. “I’ll have to get Maddock on my side, or at least tolerate my annoying ass.”

Raine smirked. “I’m quite fond of your ass.”

“My badonkadonk aside, I used to be pretty good at winning people over.”

Raine arched his eyebrows.

Dannika rolled her eyes. “I know I don’t come off as warm and fuzzy, but when I was younger, I was placed with a family that didn’t want me. I’d moved around so much that previous year that I attempted to bring the couple around.”

“Did it work?” Raine asked.

“I did chores and helped in every way I could until they were less adversarial with me. In time, they were pretty decent. We had an understanding of sorts.”

Raine put his hand over hers. “What happened?”

“Same as the other group homes. Everything was wonderful one day, but the next, they wouldn’t look at me. They were afraid of me, and a day or two later I was removed. I viewed reassignment as an inevitable process of growing up.”

He pulled her to him. The caress on her skin when he slipped his hand beneath her shirt intended comfort, but the low rumble in his chest turned it into something more.

Dannika pulled him closer. Their shadows reached for one another as their emotions collided, heightening every sensation. His hair slid along her cheek as she nibbled his ear. The whispering caress sent an erotic fire racing through her blood. He slid his hands to her breasts, rolling an erect nipple between his fingers before tracing down her ribs and along her belly.

She used to complain she didn’t need a bra, but now she reveled in the sensations his erotic touch produced. Every stroke left a firestorm in its wake, a dark hunger that needed to be sated. She wanted to scream for relief, but the air caught in her throat when his hand moved to her pants, slipping them down her thighs.

He released the button on his jeans, springing his thick cock from its confinement before positioning her legs on either side of his. Dannika moaned when his fingers slipped between her slick, heated flesh, parting her tender lips and pressing inside her.

She arched toward him, riding his hand, almost coming apart as he worked her. His mouth tugged hard on her nipple, causing a rush of liquid between her thighs, coating his fingers in her warm juices. He moved her above his straining cock as his tongue lavished her nipple. The sensations coursing through her body had her heart pounding in her chest. It was heaven. It was hell. She wanted more.

Raine’s eyes lit with blue hunger. He would devour her. Consume her body and soul. She wanted everything he offered and more. He kissed her neck, then thrust up through the tight folds of her silken sheath.

Air rushed from her lungs when he cupped her ass, holding her in place as he impaled her over and over. There was no thought. No reason. Only hard, unmitigated bliss, fueled by passion and dark power.

She clutched his shoulders as if they were the only haven in the tornado of emotion assaulting her body.

“Don’t stop.” She hated when she pleaded with him. She should be embarrassed, but her body was on fire, a bomb teetering on the brink of detonation.

He pumped harder, anchoring her hips with his hands. She put a hand on the couch to combat the building pressure. Her nails dug into his flesh, and blood welled up on his skin. The sting of pain spurned his aggressive nature. He was in no more control than she was, and she loved it.

Rippling waves of pleasure washed over her skin, causing her to grip him in a velvet vise. She screamed his name as he went over the apex, holding her to him like he would never let her go. She lay on top of him, floating in a sea of bliss, content to stay there forever.

Someone rapped on the door.

Dannika scrambled off of him, pulling on her clothes as Raine fastened his pants.

“Come in,” Raine said.

Dayton entered, closing the door behind him. “Sorry to interrupt, but Steele is here.”

Raine frowned. “Why is that cause for concern?”

Dayton glanced at the door. “Maddock and Steele are having a closed-door meeting, and they did not invite Ryder.”

Raine stood. “What’s going on?”

Dayton shook his head. “All I can confirm is my shadow is uneasy, and he took Maverick in with them.”
