Her body pulsated from the release he’d given her. For three years she’d wished AJ would return and claim her this way.
But it couldn’t happen again. She wasn’t ready to let him in.
“You’re right—I don’t deserve to just walk back into your life and pick up where we left off.” His softly crooned words shouldn’t make her shiver, but they hit her sensesandthe emotions that had been tumbled and raked over hot coals of pain and despair.
She always knew sleeping with a man in Blackout would hurt her in the end. To the world, he didn’t even exist. He was a ghost. Then Apollo proved her right by dropping off the planet.
Now she didn’t know if she could go back to normal.
She’d changed.
A lot.
“You need to know that I haven’t been with another woman since I walked out of your office that day.” His gritty words dragged callus and broken glass over her already-bleeding senses.
She tried to pull free, but he held her there.
Leaning over, he claimed her gaze. “You’re not leaving this bed until I know where I stand with you.”
Panic swept through her. Or maybe that was an echo of one of the many panic attacks she experienced in the early days after he went missing. She shoved away from him, and he allowed her to sit up on the edge of the bed.
Breathing hard, she tried to remember the steps for calming down that her therapist told her to use. But the harsh gulps of air felt horrible going into her lungs and even worse coming out in fast pants.
“Indika.” A warm hand brushed over her spine.
“I need a minute.”Or twenty.She got off the bed and Apollo didn’t try to stop her this time.
She reached for her scattered clothes.
He snaked out a long arm and snagged his jeans off the floor. While he pulled out his phone, she tried not to steal looks at his rugged face or tanned muscles.
“What about some takeout?” he asked as if they were discussing the weather and hadn’t just made the worst mistake of their lives.
“Takeout? What time is it?” She glanced at the clock on her nightstand. After six? She wasn’t going to make that date with Robert now, even if she wanted to go.
“How about tacos? It is Tuesday.”
She mentally scoffed. How was she getting him out of her bed, her place, her life?
He tossed his phone aside. Lurching out of bed, he wrapped his arms around her naked body and hauled her back down. His lips hit hers before she could sputter out a protest.
Keeping her from catching her breath, he trailed a rough fingertip down the seam of her pussy. He strummed her clit, glided through her folds. He buried his long digit into her core.
Oh god, how could he strip away all her self-control with one touch? Her body hummed with instant need. Electric shocks made her hips rock of their own accord.
“I missed you like this. Shaking for me.” His words washed across her lips as he played his fingertip around and around and around her now-straining clit.
She fisted the rumpled covers and battled to find a single brain cell in her head that would deny this man.
Finding none, she let out a little moan that brought his mouth back to hers. Rough beard stubble that was more than a five-o’clock shadow abraded her cheeks and jaw as the kiss moved to the next level.
AJ danced a finger over her clit while thrusting two more into her pussy. Pressing upward, he located her G-spot.
She came unhinged. Ohhh, her vibrator could never do this for her. He sucked her nipple while thrusting his fingers and stroking her aching bundle of nerves. Need exploded. Her pussy squeezed with desire that wasso closeto the pinnacle of release.
A soft pulsation turned into two. Then her pussy was contracting hard and fast. Her mouth opened on a silent cry, and her release swept her up in a wave of ecstasy.
Sweat broke out on her skin, and tiny moans escaped from her throat.
