I lick my lips, completely under his spell. “No screaming with our friends just down the hall.”

“You’ll want to scream, then.” He smiles against my skin, and it’s just as sexy as the kisses he’d just been pressing to my neck.

Unable to wait any longer to feel his skin, I tug up his shirt until he has to back away to pull it over his head and toss it to the floor.

“You know.” I have to pause and swallow hard. “I’ve never been a woman to swoon over abs, but damn if I don’t like yours.”

His smile is slow and satisfied. “Is that so?” He lifts my shirt over my head and drops it onto the floor by his. “I love that you have little, tiny freckles on your chest.” He reaches back and unfastens my bra, and I let it slide down my arms and fall from my body. “And I fuckinglovethe way your body responds to me.”

As if on cue, my nipples pucker under his gaze, making him smile once more.

In the soft light of the bedside lamp, we undress each other as if we have all the time in the world, and when we’re finally naked, I scoot back onto the bed and pat the mattress beside me in invitation.

“Join me.”

Before he does, his eyes go wide. “Shit. I forgot something. Hold on.”

He hurries to the door, sticks his head out to see if the coast is clear, and then he’s gone.

I’m left sitting here, wondering what in the actualhellhe’s doing running around the inn stark naked. So, while I wait, I climb under the covers, but only a handful of seconds pass before Apollo quietly slips back into my room.

“You went out therenaked.What if someone was out there?”

“They weren’t.” He holds up a long string of foil packets and grins. “I had to grab the protection.”

“Good idea.”

He tosses them onto the table next to the bed and then climbs under the covers with me. His warm palm slides over my hip, up to my shoulder, and then plunges into the back of my hair.

“I seriouslydolove your hair.”

“I don’t.” I gasp when he bites my neck again. “But I’m glad you do.”

“There’s nothing here that I don’t like.” He guides me down to rest my head on a pillow, and then he makes good on his promise to kiss every inch of me, exploring my body as if he’s never seen me naked before.

When he spreads my legs and nudges his shoulders between them before covering me with his glorious mouth, I have to grip the covers and bite my lip so I don’t cry out in pure ecstasy.

“Apollo.” It’s a whisper and a prayer as he makes me feel things that no other man has ever made me feel. Then, just as my legs begin to shake, he pushes two fingers into me, makes thatcome heremotion that he’s so fucking good at, and I explode into a million tiny pieces.

Before I can fully catch my breath, he’s petting and kissing me as he works his way up my torso, taking his time to worship each nipple. It’s as if he doesn’t want either one to be jealous of the other.

And when he makes his way back to my mouth and settles himself between my legs, he kisses me with more urgency than earlier.

“That was pleasant,” I whisper as he breaks the kiss. His dark eyes warm and then fill with sheer determination.

“Pleasant?”

“Mm. It was lovely.”

“I see.” He reaches over to the bedside table, tears off a condom, and then proceeds to protect us both. “I’m so relieved that it waspleasantfor you when I made your legs shake so badly that you had to bury your face in a pillow so the others wouldn’t hear you as you came.”

“Is that what I did?”

He slides inside me so, so slowly.

“There is nothing like this,” he groans, closing his eyes. “Nothing.”

“Look at me.” It’s not a question, and when his eyes open and meet mine, I cradle his face in my hands and lift my hips, changing the angle just enough to make us both sigh in pleasure.
