“Fuck, bebe.” It leaves me on a pained groan and her head snaps in my direction, those piercing eyes meeting my own. There are so many emotions in them: anger and love being the dominating ones.
Those I can handle. Understand them.
But the tinge of disappointment that lingers behind the others is almost too much.
“Are you going to come in, or just watch?” The sassiness in her tone helps to ease this ache in my chest and I smirk, knowing my grin is one of the things she likes.
Amberlyn has always loved making me smile or laugh. Claims my eyes crinkle at the corners and it makes me adorkable. Her word, not mine.
Crossing to her shower, I open the glass divider and step inside, welcoming the hot water on my tired frame. It’s been days since I’ve gotten a good night's sleep. It’s been days of nonstop hunting and removing threats while finding every hiding hole and blocking them from our enemies.
I have one more Cuban sicario to find, but my gut tells me he’s no threat.
Jaime Uriel will die by my hands.
I’m going to hand over the women to Luna, Amberlyn, and my mother.
All before decapitating the snake that President Placido Rodriguez is.
And all that while helping a country rediscover its footing and monetary position in the world.
“You look exhausted, Ivan.” Her voice is low, almost tired, but I detect no anger. No resentment. “What’s going on?”
“A lot.” Reaching around her, I turn the water a little hotter and turn us, her back to my front. She fits perfectly there. Those sinuous curves mold against me and each shiver, every indrawn breath moves through me. She’s my heaven. “Things I never want you to see.”
“I’m not as delicate as you think I am.”
“I know.” Doesn’t make things any better for me. If anything, I worry more. “But I’ve always wanted a different world for you.”
“What about what I want?” While she keeps a calming tone, I can feel her strength. That fire draws me in, forcing my will to become one with hers. And while I’m a dominant man and I’ll admit I’m hard to deal with at times, this woman owns me.
Turning her in my arms, I wrap both arms around her back and pull her in, chest to abdomen. Heads tipped toward each other. “What do you want, Sirenita? What do you dream about?”
“A life with you.”
Four simple words. So honest. Pure.
Yet, they destroy me where I stand, and I can’t stop myself from taking that sweet berry mouth in a passionate kiss. Our lips crash, and I’m reborn while branding her taste into my DNA.
Her tongue sweeps across my bottom lip and I shiver, yet my hold never wavers. If anything, it tightens while moving from her lower back to supple hips. They fit perfectly in my hand, so sexy—
The rain shower feature turns on and I pause, smiling down at her. “Did you switch it mid-kiss?”
“Guilty.”
“Bad Mermaid,” I growl against her lips, not upset in the least. This is something I’ve enjoyed about us—the ease and comfort to switch from playful to ravenous to nearly demonic with yearning. “Am I not enough to hold your attention? To blind you with need?”
“Ivan, you’ve always been my everything.”
“Motherfuck, bebe.” That’s all I can say. No words would ever suffice, and I show her instead. Bending my knees, I drag my hands to her thighs and lift her and then tap the skin there. Amberlyn understands and wraps her legs around my waist while her back meets the still-cool-to-touch tile away from the still-running showerhead.
Her tan skin looks beautiful against the white. More so, when she arches, offering me her chest while gyrating in search of my dick. “I need you just as bad. Why can’t you understand that?”
Dropping my forehead to hers, I try to remember all the reasons why we should wait. How I don’t want to add another reason for her to hate me, but then Amberlyn sneaks a hand between our bodies and grips me, fist tight.
One stroke, and I growl. This animalistic sound builds in my chest, shakes every muscle in my body, and I pin her hips with mine, forcing her fingers to cease moving. She’s trapped, yet I don’t know if that’s worse.
A sinful groan slips from her swollen lips. She’s rubbing against her hand and my cock, searching for a release that belongs to me. “This is right. See that.”
