I give it all to him. Well, all that really applies to what’s happening now. Magic, Ocean, and I have done small things to test the waters here or there, such as stealing drones or whatnot, but I don’t go into those tiny details.
“And what did you think you were going to do tonight? Your little drone girl and computer whiz couldn’t protect you inside that club.”
“I was going to show him what it meant to play with a Palermo.”
Gilly shakes his head.
“He came into my home and tried to threaten me,” I hiss.
“You should have told me. I would have handled it.”
“Tell you? Why the hell would I do that?”
“Because I can protect you!” he shouts. It makes me jump. I’m not used to him exploding, but that doesn’t stop me from doing it right back.
“You don’t protect me, Gilly! You hurt me. Don’t you get that?” The words are out of my mouth before I can really think about what I’m saying.
“Carina, I–”
I meet his gaze in the rearview and press my palm to my chest over my heart. “This is what you hurt. Over and again. Don’t tell me you protect me when you always leave me broken.”
He keeps his gaze locked with mine, but I know it’s only a matter of time before he lets go. He always does.

GILLY
The anguish in her voice breaks me. She slumps back in her seat as I drive up to the garage attached to the pool house.
As soon as I put the car in park, she has the door open and is turning to walk away from me. “I can sneak in the same way I snuck out.” Her voice trembles, but she keeps her chin up.
“Stay.” I shouldn’t say it, but I do. I shouldn’t mean it, but I fucking do. I’ve only ever wanted Carina, and I can’t bear the thought of causing her harm.
She whirls. “Stay?” She cocks her head to the side as if she can’t quite hear me.
I reach my hand out to her, holding it open and silently willing her to take it. “Stay with me tonight.”
“So you can play with me some more and hide me away like your dirty little secret?” she challenges.
“No.” I can’t look away from her. I never could, not really. It’s a truth I’ve been fighting, one I thought I could somehow master. But I can’t. Carina isn’t a woman I can deny or ever truly let go, and what I feel for her is all-consuming. Admitting it to myself is easier than I’d imagined. It’s like letting go and falling but knowing that the fall will be worth it, even if the landing hurts.
She steps closer, her gaze on mine. “Then what?”
“I’m going to worship your body and take your virginity. No.” I shake my head. “Not justtakeit. I’m going to enjoy it and every bit of you, every last fucking crumb. Because I can’t keep doing this. I can’t keep shutting you out when all I want to do is give you all of me.” I take a deep breath. “If that’s what you want.” My hand is still there, waiting for her to bridge the gap between us.
Her lower lip trembles, and she slowly lifts her arm. “I …” She takes my hand, hers small and warm in mine. “I want that. I wantyou.”
I pull her to me and kiss her. Hard. Without apology. It’s a claiming kiss, one that burns away every bit of the distance and denial. She moans, her body going lax as she presses against me. I grip her waist, holding her close as I back her against the car and swipe my tongue against her lips and into her mouth. She’s heaven, every bit of her delicious and sultry.
My cock aches, and I groan when she lifts one of her legs, opening her core to me as I grab her thigh and hike it up even higher. She’s wearing next to nothing, but I need more. I need all of her. Gripping her ass, I lift her.
She squeals against my lips as I carry her through the garage and into the house. Wasting no time, I carry her down the hall and to my bedroom. Sitting her on the bed, I drop between her legs and reach for her skirt. With a pull, I yank it free and then do the same to her panties.
“Spread,” I grunt and push her knees apart.
My cock strains against my pants when I see the wet, pink flesh between her thighs. I dive down, pressing my mouth to her sweet cunt as she gasps and runs her fingers through my hair.
I need her completely open to me, so I press my hands against her thighs and spread her wider, then delve my tongue into her tight cunt. Honeyed and sweet, her wetness coats my tongue as I suck and lick her, tasting every bit of her as she lies back on the bed.
