I enjoy the way her eyes move over me from head to toe, before settling on mine. “I’m actually okay.” My eyebrows raise as I take a step into the room. She doesn’t show any signs of wanting me to leave, so I don’t stop until I’m standing right in front of her.
“Some people struggle after killing someone.”
She rubs her lips together as she nods ever so slightly at me. “Fortunately for me, I’m no stranger to killing. Especially, when they’re as worthy of death as he was.” It’s my turn to nod this time. We’re far more similar than I care to admit.
Reaching forward, I stroke my finger down her cheek, then tilt her chin to make her look at me better. Yet she takes it one step further and rises to her feet so we’re chest to chest.
I have no idea how to describe the emotions running through me at the moment, allowing myself to feel something other than pain for the first time since we enjoyed Ava at the club. And it was a hell of a long time before then.
Tucking a loose tendril of hair behind her ear, my lips move, my filter broken as I murmur against her lips, “I’m sorry we left this morning.”
Wren’s eyebrows pinch as she looks up at me, her hands rising to my arms as she shakes her head. “Don’t apologize for running your business how you see fit. I was just—”
I can’t take it anymore, I can’t take her understanding, her toughness, her strength. Even though I need it all. I need it all for myself. Without wasting another second, I cut off her words with a kiss.
It’s brutal, it’s devouring, it’s frenzied. But most of all, it’s intoxicating.
I feel the press of her fingertips at my biceps as she clings to me, and it only drives me more insane. When I can no longer breathe, I tear my lips from hers, resting my forehead and nose against hers.
“You should be dead, not working your way beneath my skin,” I bite, but there’s no malice or venom in my tone. Nothing but raw desire.
Wren scoffs in response as if I just said the most ridiculous joke. “Please, you and your brothers are driving me to insanity,” she breathes, before pressing her lips to mine in the sweetest fucking kiss I’ve ever felt.
Fuck.
I can’t contain my need any longer. I can’t.
Bending at the knees, I grab the back of her thighs and lift her into the air effortlessly. She gasps in surprise, all husky and needy, and it makes me pin her body to mine even tighter. Without a single word, I turn on the spot and exit her room, glancing over her shoulder to navigate toward the stairs before taking them two at a time to reach the top.
I almost sag in relief when I see my bedroom door, and I charge toward it, flinging it open before kicking it shut behind me. My pulse pounds as I get lost in her blue pools of desire.
Our chests heave with every breath as we engage into short, harsh kisses, seeing who will take it to the next level first. She’s teasing and encouraging as she grins, running her tongue over her bottom lip, and I’m even more of a goner.
“How strong are you, Wren?” I ask, before cutting the distance to my huge bed and tossing her down on it. She bounces a few times, her mouth parting as she quirks her brow at me.
“Strong enough for whatever you’re thinking of,” she replies, her voice raspy, and I have to grab at my dick through my pants to contain myself.
“Oh, I doubt that very much.” I loosen my tie and kick off my shoes, but instead of taking me at my word, she tilts her head to the side with a grin on her lips.
“Try me, big man.”
I pause in place, my tie hanging loose in my hands as I discard it. She has no idea what she’s getting herself into, but if she’s willing to try, I’m willing to test it out.
Shaking out of my blazer, I let the navy material fall to the floor as I reach for the top button of my shirt. Her eyes track my every move as I undo each button, before her tongue sweeps across her bottom lip as she feasts on my chest and abs.
It’s only when I’m reaching for the button of my pants that she rises to her knees on the bed and pulls off the oversized sweater she’s acquired since leaving earlier. The red lace bra underneath encases her tits perfectly. She looks like every fantasy I’ve ever imagined all in one.
The pair of us strip, not uttering a word as we take each other in, until we’re both standing completely naked.
“Wait here.” I reach out my hand to run my finger over the soft skin between her breasts before I head for the closet. It only takes me a moment to find what I’m looking for, and when I step back into the room, I find her exactly where I left her.
Her eyes flick from me to the spreader bar in my hands, and a spark of excitement flashes through her blue orbs. My cock juts with need at her expression, and I catch a shiver running down her spine as she clenches her thighs together.
“Come.”
I’m desperate to lay her out bare on the bed and take exactly what I want, but I want to continue the intensity that is floating between us.
I head for the bathroom, flicking on the light switch as I enter before turning on the shower. I can sense her behind me, taking the room in, but I know she’s watching me specifically when I place the spreader bar on the high hooks in the large shower space. I give it a little jiggle to make sure it’s secure, then I turn to meet her gaze.
