Miguel immediately moved around with a dancer's ease, his long limbs in tune withI Can't Quit You Baby's fiery lyrics—a velvet smoke of raw power. I was surprised at how feline-like his movements were.

They reminded me of a leopard on the prowl at night. I suddenly thought these men all looked like they were hunters who could either protect or destroy, depending on the nature of their duty.

Reed poured me a drink, and that quickly turned to two. Asher moved in close, and soon, I was in his powerful arms, feeling heat radiate from his muscles into my skin.

His hold was hungry. I knew, as instinctually as only a woman does, that he had rehearsed this scene in his head a hundred times. It made me crave him more.

Asher crushed his lips against mine, eliciting a moan from the depths of my throat. I parted my lips, inviting him deeper.

He let out a low groan as he kissed me, pushing me to the wall so he could get a better hold of my waist. I felt my hands going up. He pinned them above us as his body pressed against mine.

I couldn't help but melt into him as our tongues met in a fiery dance.

Consumed by the intensity of the moment, I raised my thigh, pulling him closer to me with my leg. He let go of my hands and began tracing the contours of my curves with his rough palms.

His touch sent shivers down my spine and made my body ache for more.

I was keenly aware of Reed and Miguel watching the two of us. Asher picked me up in his arms and carried me over to the sofa.

My breathing was ragged as he sat me down and kneeled in front of me. He continued kissing me while unbuttoning the buttons on my shirt.

It came off easily, followed by my bra, then more. Everything he took off was tossed aside with urgency—like he needed more andimmediately.

"Tell me what you're thinking," he said. His voice was like the smoothest dark chocolate, each word oozing a delicious, husky richness that made me tremble.

"I'm thinking I'd like more," I replied, my own voice reduced to a low, seductive timbre.

"More, like..." The words caught in his throat as he ran a long finger over the arched tip of my left nipple.

"Yes!" I immediately arched my back. His mouth latched on to my nipples, one at a time.

He worked with a pace that was at once relentlessly slow and fast. His tongue rolled around, licking and sucking on the nubs until they were both stiff peaks, and I was a river of desire.

I closed my eyes, losing myself to the subtle play of his fingers and mouth. Everything around us was suffused with the glow of amber fairy lights, casting flickering shadows of our positions on the walls.

Asher's right hand snaked up my hair and turned my head to our shadows. Against the warm halo of golden light, we looked like two bodies making music, melting and merging into one.

It made me feel hotter, like I was watching another version of myself, unencumbered by any need to be anything other than what I was.

A goddess.

Asher's mouth traveled past my belly button and only stopped when he neared my sex, already wet with anticipation. He let out a low chuckle as he toyed with the edges of my underwear. I almost screamed at him.

"Take it off," I begged, my legs trembling. "Please."

"With pleasure, m'lady."

He maneuvered me so my legs lifted slightly above the air and teased my panties down. I wriggled out of them, not caring that they were my most expensive pair and that he tossed them across the room like feathers.

His breath caught in his throat as he looked at my naked, vulnerable sex. I was keenly aware of the other eyes in the room watching me as they stroked themselves.

Reed and Miguel looked as hungry as Asher. I wished I could have all of their hands and mouths on me, showing me how much they wanted me in this moment.

Before I could form any words, Asher's index finger came down on my clitoris, and I emitted an involuntary moan.

He increased his speed, and my moans transcended into cries. I leaned back on the sofa, gripping the soft cushions with my hands, surrendering to every sense that pointed at me to just let go.

"Beautiful," he snarled, "like a pearl."
