It’s deep, slow, longing. More. So much more than anything I’ve ever experienced before.

When everything eases enough for me to lean back a little, I do, and the heavy-lidded look on Lance’s face makes me feel even better.

“The fuck did you do to me, sunshine?” He looks down at the wetness coating his boxers.

Me and him.

And as if it’s his only salvation, his mouth takes mine in another searing kiss.

TEN

Lance

“Everyone thinks you’re sweet, Baby Lowell. It’s all a ruse.”

Her smile could light a village, and I’m entranced by it. I’ve seen a thousand smiles in my thirty years, so why is hers always slapping me so damn hard?

“I can be sweet,” she says, locking her legs tighter around my waist. “When I want to be.”

I have no idea what time it is, but we’ve yet to go to sleep. After she obliterated my boxers, we kissed like teenagers for long enough that my lips ached.I made her leave the room with me so I could go and get my trousers from my own room and food from the kitchen. Neither one of us brought a change of clothes with us, and I wasn’t ready to leave her right away. Not when she looked at me as if being alone terrified her. Now we’re tangled in the sheets after another painstaking kiss. I’m not sure my cock has ever been so hard, and my ability to not fuck her senseless is dwindling with every smile she gives me.

“You really set up an account at Nells so you could buy me those toys last year?”

She nods. “I went with my friends when I was at uni. I couldn’t even remember the name of the shop.”

“It was in my diary as Nellies.” I remember, smiling down at her.

“That’s it!” She chuckles, running her nose and lips up my chest.Lowell will fucking kill me. “I can’t believe you went back. They must have had a field day with you.”

“They loved every second of it.”

“It’s got to be at the top of women’s ‘things I want my husband to do’ list.”

“What? Go and buy them a vibrator?”

“Uh-huh. It’s hot.”

“Noted.” I chuckle.

“Thank you,” she says after a beat of silence.

“For what?” I frown, sensing she meant it in more ways than me buying her a vibrator.

“For making me feel something today.” She contorts her lips into a pout. “Something a little… more.”

I stare at the bedside light, wondering whatmoreis for her and why I feel like she’s exactly the distraction I needed tonight. The minute I saw her in Mason’s lounge, I was fighting against the anger I carried with me from my meeting with my mum and then Ben. Half a million pounds is currently missing from Ellis and Frey’s bank account, and I have no fucking clue where it is. I swallow and pull her closer to my chest. “You really don’t have any toys at home? Isn’t the house huge?”

“It is, and I could, but I rarely get the chance to go into the city, and can you imagine my dad taking in a parcel for me? I’d be mortified.”

“Have you ever thought about moving out? To be closer to the city?”

I feel the sadness wash over her, like a wall being forged between us. “I couldn’t move out, not while Dad’s sick. I love it at the estate. It’s like a different world compared to the city.”

“What about when he’s better?”

She looks up at me, her smile sad. “Maybe.” It feels like a lie. “It’s going to take time. He’s been poorly for over ten years now; the idea of that changing seems impossible.”

“Would you go back to uni?”
