He cradled me in his arms, lifting me out of the pool with care. Treating me as if I was the most precious thing in the world. Tonight—and anytime I was in Knox’s presence—it felt as if I were.

Mi cielo. My heaven.

He’d certainly taken me to outer space with that orgasm. I wasn’t sure I’d ever come so hard. I’d literally seen stars.

And his kiss. God, I could get lost in his kiss. Everything about him commanding yet gentle. Taking while giving.

Knox grabbed a large, fluffy towel and draped it over me before carrying me into the house and up the stairs to his bedroom. He kept glancing down at me as if he couldn’t fully believe this was happening. Neither could I.

He placed me on his bathroom counter before switching on the shower. His boxers clung to his skin, leaving little to the imagination. And while he checked the water temperature, I checked out his ass. The round, sculpted muscles showing his strength. Strength he’d used to hold me in the pool. To carry me up the stairs to his room. He was such a powerful man, and yet he’d only ever made me feel safe. Cherished.

Steam billowed out the top of the shower, and Knox stood before me. Opening the towel, helping me stand so he could peel off my underwear.

“You are so fucking gorgeous,” he said, spinning me slowly until I faced the mirror. “So fucking mine.” At least that was what it sounded like he said as he trailed his fingers over my spine and down my ass.

As I watched us in the mirror, I felt like his. Iwantedto be his. And not just for tonight.

But it was all we had.

So I stayed there a moment, reveling in the look of appreciation on his face. This magnificent man wanted me. Knox Crawford wanted me.

I turned to face him, hooking my fingers in his boxers. And then I dragged them over his hips. Down his legs as I kneeled before him. His cock bobbed toward me, hard and proud.

I peered up at Knox, and his eyes were hooded. Full of lust and longing, and I was dying to taste him.

I gripped his shaft, gently guiding him to my mouth. I swirled my tongue around his tip, feeling the bulge of his vein. Exploring the crown as it slipped between my lips.

He groaned, and I’d never heard a sound more feral. It was clear from the way he clenched his fists at his sides that he was losing control. I liked the idea. I wanted to make him unravel.

So I decided to test his limits. I smiled up at him, teasing him again with my tongue. He tangled his hand in my hair, letting me play for a minute before pulling me to my feet.

“In the shower.” He guided me toward the entrance. “Now.”

I stumbled into the shower, the warm spray instantly relaxing my muscles. I hadn’t realized how cold I was until I felt the heat of the water.

Knox joined me, pumping shampoo into his palm then rubbing his hands together. “Turn. Let me take care of you.”

I turned so my back was to him, moaning with appreciation when he massaged it into my scalp. Between the orgasm earlier and now this, I was going to melt into a puddle on the floor.

He kept at it for a while, never seeming to be in any rush. For a man who owned a successful pro soccer team and was involved in countless philanthropic efforts, he always seemed to have time for me.

When he finished, he turned me gently. Kissing me slowly and deeply while the shower washed the soap away.

“Hi.” I smiled up at him when he pulled back and cupped my face.

“Hey.” He grinned, tracing my jaw.

The moment felt tender and precious, like the soap bubbles swirling the drain. They were beautiful, but they only lasted a moment.

I didn’t want to think about that. I didn’t want to think of anything but right here. Right now.

So I guided him to the shower bench, grabbing the shampoo and lathering his hair. All the while, he ran his hands over my body. Exploring. Caressing. Teasing.

When his hair was finished, and my body was clean, he washed himself quickly.

“Let’s get out,” he said, rinsing his body then stepping out of the shower.

I pouted when he wrapped a towel around his waist. “But I wanted to wash you.”
