“Hold that thought for two seconds.” He maneuvered her from his lap to the sheets, crossing the room to lock the door with a decisive click.
“You didn’t lock it on your way in?” Sloane asked, her body already mourning the loss of him beneath her.
“I didn’t want to be presumptuous.” He traced back over the space between the door and where she lay in three strides, and she nearly groaned with pleasure when he eased her against the lush pillows, returning his attention to her aching body as if he’d never left.
“Presume, presume! Oh, God, that’s good.” The pure luxury of the sheets had nothing on Gavin’s mouth, and Sloane arched from one to the other. He braced himself over her, dropping his head down the midline of her chest to divide his attention between her breasts. Each swirl of his tongue over her nipples dared her closer, coaxing her soft skin into hard peaks so quickly, she couldn’t hold back.
“Please tell me you’re at least presumptuous enough to have condoms.” Sloane reached down and curled her hands into fists over the hem of Gavin’s T-shirt, desperate to feel his body on hers. She sent up a fervent prayer that he wasn’tthatmuch of a gentleman, and was rewarded with a gravelly chuckle that had her nearly crying with relief.
“There’s a difference between being presumptuous and being stupid.” He hovered over her body, close enough for her to feel the heat coming off him in waves. “But you’re getting ahead of yourself, don’t you think?”
“Nope.” Sloane pushed her hips up in a maddening thrust, a wicked smile of satisfaction on her lips at the moan it produced from Gavin’s chest. “I’m done waiting. I want you right now.” She slipped one hand between his hips and her own to wrap her fingers firmly around his cock, and his moan grew deeper in her ear.
“We don’t have to go so fast.” He thrust into her hand despite his words, and she reached her free arm around the other side of his body for leverage, working him in long strokes. “Christ, that’s hot.”
Need swirled at his pleasure, deep and low in her belly, and Sloane didn’t hesitate. She guided him right over the spot between her thighs that begged for attention, every inch of her body sparking from the contact. His fingers joined hers in the sliver of space between them, sliding beneath her panties to find her clit, and oh, God, she was either going to shatter or scream. Maybe both.
“Gavin, please. I want you inside me.” She squirmed beneath him, desperate. “Don’t make me wait.”
Their remaining clothes became a hurried tangle, and in a handful of seconds, Gavin retrieved the condom he’d put in his pocket. Sloane’s body hummed in greedy anticipation as he settled back between her legs, slanting his mouth over hers. Urgent need flared under her skin, and she let her knees fall wider in encouragement.
“Now, Gavin.Please.”
He filled her pussy in one swift thrust, the invasion so intense that for a second, Sloane couldn’t breathe. But then a moan issued from her throat, and she widened her knees even farther, rising up to keep him seated fully inside of her. Gavin pulled back slightly, then thrust again, the angle keeping the base of his cock in full contact with her clit, and oh. Oh,oh.
That last one must’ve been out loud, because he did it again, then again. Gripping his hip, Sloane moved to meet him, arching off the sheets. Their movements skipped past slow and sweet, heading right into a hard, fast rhythm ofplease don’t ever stop fucking methat lit Sloane up inside. Gavin’s hand flew beneath the small of her back as he grated out her name, holding her close as he fucked her even harder. A shot of pleasure moved from her belly downward, teasing first, then demanding release. She dug her fingertips into Gavin’s hips, whisper-begging him not to stop, to make her come, to do anything to unravel her.
He didn’t hesitate for a second. Gavin’s grip on her didn’t ease, his expression wild and intense as he filled her over and over. With a gasp, Sloane’s inner muscles clenched, her orgasm tearing through her and making her bite her bottom lip so she didn’t scream.
“Fuck,” Gavin grunted, more sound than word, and her eyes flew open just in time to watch his expression grow even more focused.
“Sloane.” Her name was both ragged and reverent as he placed it in her ear, breathing it into the spot where her shoulder met her neck. “You’re so damned pretty when you come for me.”
She felt the coil of his muscles beneath her hands, the need that had built beneath his skin. “Show me,” she whispered, not breaking the rhythm of their movements even though every inch of her felt over-sensitized. “Let me see what you look like when you come forme.”
Gavin gripped her hips, leaving an imprint of pleasure-pain on her skin as his thrusts grew even faster. He tightened above her with a shudder, and her body went taut in response, her hands holding him close as he came on a shudder.
They lay together, tangled in the skein of bedsheets, while their breathing slowed and time dropped off the clock. A thousand thoughts spun through Sloane’s head, but none of them formed words that made any sense, so she said nothing. What had started out as impulsive want now felt like something entirely different, and it slipped beneath the circle of Gavin’s arms, whispering right into her brain.
You feel safe here. Seen. Cared for.
Even as he held her in a knot of arms and legs and slowing breath, she felt the urge to run.

Gavin hummed under his breath,chopping fresh herbs in time to the wordless cadence. He cracked a couple of eggs, then a couple more with a swift tap and release. The familiarity of the motions, of the seamless string of tasks one after the other, piggybacked with scents he knew by heart, and he grinned into the egg mixture as he started to whisk.
Spending the night in bed with a beautiful woman will do that to a guy.
His head popped up like he’d been caught doing something forbidden, and his grin became a quiet laugh that fell over the empty room. While he hadn’t exactly planned the bold move that had brought him across the hall to Sloane’s room, he sure as hell wasn’t sorry for it after the fact. The look on her face in the half-darkened hallway, so uncharacteristically vulnerable and yet still edged with her trademark strength, had made him want to unravel her, bit by bit. Before he’d even realized it, he’d been in the shadows of her room with every intention of doing just that.
Ironic, then, that he’d completely abandoned the notion of that slow discovery the minute she’d put her hands on him and begged him to impulsively fuck her.
Gavin shook his head and gripped the stainless steel whisk handle tighter, meting out a rhythmictat-tat-tat-tatagainst the glass bowl. Yes, Sloane was a beautiful woman, and the chemistry between them was obvious. But ditching caution in all its forms wasn’t something he could do, no matter how much he liked her. He had more than just himself to think about now, and anyway, he’d gone the serious relationship route once before with disastrous results.
Good thing the only thing serious about Sloane was that she wasseriouslysexy. Plus, it was plain that Bree felt comfortable with her, and having someone in his corner there would definitely help. While he wasn’t about to spill his feelings all over the floor, having someone to talk to about the everyday stuff wouldn’t be a bad thing.
And there was no way around the fact that she’d well and truly blown his mind in bed last night. Denying his attraction to her would be like trying to convince a magnet to stick to plastic. It was pointless, so he might as well enjoy what they had and see how things panned out.
