I’ve fallen all the way. Hard.
Slowly, I push up from the bed and cross the scant distance between us. He watches me approach.
“I meant it.” His voice roughens. “The world’s not good enough for you. I don’t know where you came from or how you ended up in my life, but I’m not letting you go. I’ll do whatever it takes to clear your name. I’ll kill anyone who mistreats you. I’ll move the—”
“Dane.” I position myself in front of him and edge forward to straddle his legs. “I’m already convinced. Iknow. And I love you.”
He stares at me in disbelief. My heart clenches. Doesn’t he believe he’s worthy of love?
“I’m sorry.” His throat works with a swallow. “I should have told you. Hell. I should have told myself.”
“You don’t have to apologize.” I drive my hand into his hair, stroking it back from his forehead. “Honestly, I admire your dedication. Obviously, I didn’t want you to turn me in, but I understood why you would have. It’s why you’re so good at what you do.”
A shutter comes down over his expression as if he’s deflecting the words.
“Hey.” I edge closer. “Let’s stop talking about what either of us should or shouldn’t have done. Instead, let’s focus on what we’re doing right now.”
He settles his hands on my hips and pulls me down to sit on his thighs. Even through the cotton of my nightshirt, I feel the calluses on his palms.
I don’t have any underwear on, and I’m already tingling. I brush my fingers along his jaw and over his beautifully shaped mouth. Heat rises to his eyes.
“Kiss me,” he orders.
His low, guttural command vibrates in my belly. I lean in and press my lips against his.
Oh, bliss. Pleasure sweeps through my veins. He brings his hands to my neck and tilts my head to slant his mouth seamlessly over mine.
If I’d thought our kiss at the diner was extraordinary, this one is beyond compare. It’s as if we’ve shattered all the barriers between us, leaving room only for pure, raw need. Even though he ordered me to instigate the kiss, he swiftly takes over—licking the corners of my lips, sliding his tongue into my mouth, biting my lower lip. My sex throbs, the ache intensifying.
“Closer,” he mutters, tugging me forward.
His erection already strains against the fly of his jeans. Excitement and a touch of nervousness skate down my spine. I wiggle forward. My nightshirt rides up my thighs, exposing my pussy.
Dane breaks the contact of our mouths and snaps his gaze to the juncture of my thighs.
“Holy fuck, look at that pretty little cunt,” he breathes. “Spread your legs wider, honey. Show me how wet you are.”
A hot flush sweeps up my neck, but I do as he says and widen my stance. My knees dig into the chair cushion on either side of his thighs. He shoves my nightshirt all the way up to my waist, his chest heaving. He slides one long, rough finger right into my folds—rubbing, teasing, tickling. I gasp and grab his shoulder. The world spins.
“Dane. That’s so—”
“Wider,” he mutters, his attention fixed on his intimate stroking. “You’re like a tight little flower bud opening right up. You’re going to take me so deep. Once I’m inside you, there’s no fucking way I’ll be able to control myself. Hell, I’m pushing the edge right now.”
He stops and swears under his breath. “I don’t have a condom.”
“You don’t need one.” I shiver at the idea of feeling his cock inside me without a single barrier. “I’m on the pill for female issues. So you can ride me bareback, Mr. Bounty Hunter.”
“Goddamn.” He gives a choked laugh. “As if this weren’t already beyond everything I could have dreamed of…and how do you even know that term?”
“I must have heard it somewhere. I only know about itintellectually.”
He laughs again. Locking his arms around me, he rises to his feet in one easy movement. My heart hammers. I clutch his shoulders and wrap my legs around his waist as he takes three long strides to the bed.
He lowers me down and climbs on top of me, his breath hot and eyes blazing. Grabbing the hem of my nightshirt, he yanks it off me and tosses it onto the other bed.
I’m naked, every bulge and roll on full display to his hungry gaze. My nipples are so hard they’re pointing straight up, and my thighs tremble. But any self-consciousness quickly fades as Dane rakes his hungry stare over me. His expression turns feral, like he really is a predator set on devouring me whole.
And I want to be devoured more than I’ve ever wanted anything in my life.
