This is different.

So different and so much better than anything I’ve experienced before. Feelings really do make the difference, along with the way our bodies move together as if we’ve done this a thousand times before. There’s a timelessness to the sex.

And by god, the sex is good.

“Harder,” I beg him. “Harder, Devan.”

The sound of his name drives him, and his pelvis slaps against mine. Again and again. Harder and harder until his tempo changes and grows jerky. Electricity snaps between us. I tighten around him, a second orgasm ready to crash right through me.

His hips jerk a final time, and he groans, the sound guttural, as his own orgasm takes him. We shudder together, holding each other, and my legs slowly slip from his shoulders to the crooks of his arms. Lower until my knees rest on either side of his hips, and he drops his forehead to mine again.

I feel the thunder of his pulse through his skin, his dick. He’s not able to see my smile this close, but it’s there.

His arms shake and shudder to keep his weight from me, and I pull him down anyway, wanting to be squished to the bed.

“Well, happy birthday to me.”

Devan picks up his head long enough to ask, “It’s your birthday?”

“No, but I feel like I just got all the missing years’ worth of presents at one time.”

This is what I’ve been missing. For so long, I wondered what it was I lacked in my life when I had almost everything except the control to write my own destiny. Which, make no mistake, was a big damn part of things. A huge part. But there was another piece of satisfaction I’d never been able to find, no matter how much I convinced myself that I loved Broderick Stevens.

There is a huge difference between these two men.

I jolt when Devan brushes the hair back from my face and curls it behind my ear. “Are you okay?”

My smile grows. “Why wouldn't I be okay?”

“Because I basically took advantage of you.”

“You were a very gentle lover.” I press my hand to his chest and rub circles around his heart.

“Gentle? Well, I’ve been called worse.”

I wrap my legs around him to keep him exactly where he is, unmoving. “You gave me exactly what I needed. Thank you.”

I’m positive now—as if I hadn’t been all the way there before—I want to burn the entire Syndicate to the ground and dance in the ashes with Devan.

EIGHTEEN

It’sa risk contacting Naomi at this point. A huge risk, considering there are hidden motives everywhere. And she might still fuck me over. Might still be a mole in our midst, ready to fuck us before we even start.

A risk, sure, and I’m taking it. I’ve got no other choice.

Aria left her phone at her place, which leaves mine, and I don’t have encryptions or firewalls or anything to protect us. A risk we’ve got to take once we leave the cabin and get cell service back.

“I’ve done what I can, but it’s not nearly good enough. A smart hacker will be able to trace your location in an instant.” She hands the phone back to me. “You sure about this?”

I shake my head. “Absolutely not.”

“I’m not sure aboutanything,” she adds. “But I know we need to do something. Sitting around isn’t going to get us any closer to our goal.”

“Sounds about right.” I pause to press a quick kiss to her lips, fully aware of her jerky movement back from me. Just as I’m aware of her instant smile and the adorable blush of pink across her pale cheeks.

“If you don’t stop touching me, then I’m going to push you down and fuck you.” She finishes with a little laugh that has me arching a brow. Her blush spreads down her neck.
