Glancing down at her, I cock a brow. “How could I forget? I have a thing for sex in public. Dirty alleyways have their benefits, too.”
Pure mischief lights her eyes. “Like the one we’re walking up to now?”
She doesn’t have to say another word, the predator in me coming to life as I tug her to the side, drag her into the shadows and lift her up to pin her against the wall.
My mouth runs down the line of her throat as my hands explore up the damn slit in her dress that has been driving me crazy all fucking night.
Adeline moans as my fingers flick her panties aside and thrust inside her, our mouths colliding sloppily, all teeth and lips and tongue.
She’s fighting to undo my pants, her dirty mind going straight to the prize as she frees my cock and slaps my hand away to notch it at her body.
One thrust and I’m inside her, the city moving all around us, but we don’t give the first fuck about being caught.
This is us.
Wild and slightly mad.
Fucking filthy and so starved for each other that it will never be enough.
Her body slides up the wall with every thrust of my hips, her hands burying in my hair as her inner muscles clench.
Mouth sliding to my ear, Adeline is breathless when she says, “You’ve always been dangerous for a girl like me, Ari. I never stood a chance.”
But that’s where she’s wrong.
The danger was never what I would do to her life, it’s what she did to mine.
She swept in and stole everything I am. Changed me in ways I could never have imagined.
Breathed warmth into a soul that knew only cold.
It’s never the dangers that lurk in the shadows you have to worry about, it’s the ones you know. The people who can turn your world upside down without any effort at all. The terrifying monsters that sneak up when you least expect it to steal your heart and drive you insane.
Gripping my hand in her hair, I devour her mouth as we both reach a release at the same time.
“I was never the fucking danger,” I growl against her ear. “The only danger in my fucked up world has been you.”
She grins at that, and I laugh at the blush running across her cheeks.
Adeline Kane has always been mine.
And I feel fucking sorry for any idiot who tries to challenge that.
I may not be the hero in this story, but I’m definitely the demon that rocks her world.
Nothing will ever touch her again.
Nobody will hurt her.
Not while I’m watching.

TANNER CAINE
A betrayal of trust; deceptive action or nature
Never listen to the people who tell you evil doesn’t exist in this world. Never smile and nod, never pander, never walk off with the belief that you’re guarded against everything that can go wrong. I can give you that advice because I’ve been the stupid woman not to follow it. I can promise you that evil does exist only because I’m the woman who has stared it in the moss green eyes, the same woman who dared it to do its worst and stood dumbfounded when it delivered.
Tanner Caine is just one of the deceptive and tantalizing demons waiting to be summoned at the crossroads. He is an underground giant forged in fire and stamped with the Devil’s personal seal of approval. He is a man barely challenged and a barrier never crossed. He is also a specimen of the male form that is a siren song to the unlucky women who run across him.
I’ve seen better woman ruined because they dared to play a game with him they had no business playing. I’ve seen smarter women on their knees
