She frowned a little. “You know I do.”
I shook my head, my voice barely louder than a whisper. “Do you truly, truly trust me? With your heart, body, and soul?”
She placed her hand on my chest, her fingers burning me through my shirt. “You own my heart, body, and soul, Aslan.” She flashed me her new tattoo. “I trust you with everything that I am.”
Wrapping my hand around hers, I squeezed her hard. “Do you remember the safe word?”
Her eyes widened as if I’d stunned her into silence.
The electricity crackled between us.
Our blood sizzled with connection.
And I very nearly came in my jeans as she breathed, “Seahorse.”
I swayed on the spot.
Images of what I would do to her exploded.
Visions of her on her knees, her hands bound, her mouth open—
Urgency choked me.
I grabbed her wrist, careful not to hurt her new ink. “Let’s go home, canim. I suddenly have the urge for a different kind of dessert.”

“FUCKING HELL, WHERE IS THAT DAMN UBER?” I pressed Neri against the side of the building, dragging my nose down her throat and inhaling her wickedly intoxicating scent.
I kissed her hard.
Long.
Deep.

“I’m guessing the driver is deliberately tormenting us.” She ran her hands through my hair, tugging just enough to make me wild.
Fifteen minutes we’d been waiting. The waiter had locked the restaurant doors the moment we left, and the streets were empty. For a Saturday night, the small restaurant quarter where I’d brought Neri had gone to sleep and kicked out all its patrons.
Her deviant hand dropped from my hair and slipped between my legs, rubbing my hard-on.
I growled. Loudly.
Tearing her touch away, I pushed back and sucked in a ragged breath. Pacing, I raked both hands through my hair. “I’m not going to get arrested for public indecency. I’m not touching you again until we’re safely in our apartment.”
She bit her bottom lip with a smirk. “Always such a spoilsport.”
I chuckled even as my heart kicked with torture. “Behave, canim. For once in your life.” Spinning in place, I stalked back the way I came, pacing, pacing, using motion to keep me sane. “Check your phone again. How far away is it?”
