“Would you like me to make you feel better, or should I take you home before finishing what I started with Wade?”

A shiver bolts through her body at the threat. If I had it my way, I’d comfort her first, and find him later. But right now, I want to give her something I’ve never been able to give another.

Control.

The timid grin I’m rewarded sets my insides on fire. “Wade’s not worth you getting into trouble.”

I disagree, but I’m loath to leave her for even a moment. “Comfort it is.”

“Rowan… You don’t have to do this.”

I lower the rag, caging her in with both hands on the counter behind her.

“You’re not a freak,” I murmur, bringing my lips close enough to make her lashes flutter. “To me, you’re a work of art.” I graze her skin, kissing the connection between her cheek and ear where her mark is the deepest shade of red. “Unbelievably beautiful, exactly as you are.”

“Don’t lie to me,” she says, her breath hitching as if trying not to cry. “Please. I-I wouldn’t survive it. Not from you.”

The hold those words have on me right now… I knew it the moment I left the house. Hell, I knew it the moment I bid on her at that auction that I was a goner.

I lick a fresh tear from her cheek before dragging my lips to her ear. I press a kiss to a smaller splotch on her neck, and my heart stutters when she sighs. “You know I don’t lie, and doing so now won’t do either of us any good. You are what I say, and nothing less.”

Her hands grip my hips when I lower my mouth to her skin, taking my time kissing each spot.

“Turn around,” I whisper. “Show me the rest.”

After slowly offering me her back, I gather her hair and drape it across her left shoulder. At the base of her neck, the splotches converge to form what resembles the tail of a bird, and at the top right side of her back, I trace the blotted outline of what I interpret as wings, spread wide.

“You’re a masterpiece,” I whisper as I slip my fingers under the straps of her bra. She visibly shudders as I graze my lips across her mark, and my dick strains against my zipper, rock-hard for this incredible woman.

“Rowan,” she whispers when I lean close enough for her to feel the effect she has on me.

“Tell me what you want, kitten.” Once I’ve dragged her bra to her waist, I knead her soft, full breasts with a throaty groan. “You’re in charge.”

Though it nearly kills me, I patiently wait for her to answer.

“I want you,” she says after twisting back to me. She bends to take off her shoes, her overalls, and her panties, so the only thing she’s wearing is a stream of moonlight. “This may be the worst idea we’ve ever had, but I want you so badly.”

Without hesitation, I lower my mouth to hers.

Stars explode behind my eyes as she attempts to strip me of my clothing between hot, panting kisses. We inhale each other’s laughter as I struggle to remove my arms from my shirt, kick my shoes off, and get my pants from around my ankles, but I refuse to leave her sweet, greedy lips for a single moment.

When I’m finally naked, Molly’s eager gaze finds my cock and her tongue snakes out, temptingly. The damn thing jumps for her when she grabs it, stroking me once, twice.

“Christ,” I hiss at the sheer pleasure of her touch.

“You’re incredible,” she says with awe. “Look at you.”

“I’ve looked at it plenty, believe me.”

She laughs, and god, I love it. Aside from her warm hand ardently pumping me, it’s the greatest feeling in the world.

I lift my face to the ceiling and close my eyes while she plays. Her grip is firm yet soft, and I relish the feather-light kisses she peppers across my chest, but I’m struggling to submit to her fully.

“Are you all right?” she whispers, detecting the tension I’m failing to mask.

She’s so perfect, so right. And here I am, insecure as fuck, messing this up already.

“It’s not easy for me to let you do this,” I admit.
