Warm breeze hit my bare chest, and I gasped, looking down. Maddox had pulled my white robe apart, untying the belt from around my waist without me even realizing.
Sneaky bastard. Why was I even surprised?
His hand snaked upward and inside my robe, before I could even think. Mischief flashed in his blue eyes as he cupped my breast, lazily brushing his thumb over my hard nipple. Heat flushed through me as my stomach fluttered and my heart raced.
“Eat,” he demanded, rolling my painfully tight nipple between his thumb and forefinger.
Maddox waited, his attitude aggravating, and his grin – so freaking annoying.
I opened my mouth and took a big bite, shoving the rest of the croissant in my mouth and biting on the same fingers that were feeding me. He hissed and pulled his hand away from my lips… and teeth.
I raised an eyebrow, cocking my head to the side. Two can play this game, Maddox.
He pinched my nipple, hard. A squeak left my lips, and he smirked.
“We can’t be friends after I fucked you like I did last night,” Maddox said, ever so crudely. I tensed, my lungs clenching at his words.
Don’t do this, Maddox. Don’t…please.
“If you think we can go back to being just friends, then Lila, you’re more delusional than I thought.”
I opened my mouth to snap at him, but he was already pushing me back against the seat. “Maddox, what–”
He loomed over me, our chests touching, and his hands landed on either side of my head. Maddox caged me against his body. “Give us one week,” he rumbled. His face was the most serious I had ever seen, his expression hard and sure. “Our time in Paris, seven days.”
One week…
With Maddox? Not as his friend, but as his lover?
A fling? An affair…?
My eyes widened, and I was already shaking my head. My heart wouldn’t survive a one-week affair. Maddox would wreck me, and I’d leave my bleeding heart in Paris.
His thumb brushed against my throat, over my throbbing vein. “Lila,” Maddox breathed my name.
My breath hitched as my robe slid open. He knelt in front of me, his big shoulders settling between my spread thighs, pushing them farther apart. I breathed in, but my throat closed, as I ended up silently gasping instead. I was completely naked under my robe, and he took it as his advantage.
He lifted his head, his gaze hot and dark. “Your cunt looks thoroughly used from last night, Lila,” Maddox said, unadulterated satisfaction gleaming in his eyes. My fingers curled around the cushion, and I dug my nails in, feeling a rush of heat coursing through me. My skin grew tight and warmth spread through my lower region, my sex growing damp. Damn him and his filthy mouth.
My eyes turned into slits as I glared down at his imposing self. I wasn’t going to fall for it; I wouldn’t let him sway me with sex.
Maddox’s hand slowly slid up the outside of my calves, up my thighs… and…
I squirmed, my voice gone and the fight leaving me. He was meticulously slow, dragging out the suspense and forcing me to feel him.
Inch by inch, his hand slid upward, his touch scorching my flesh as he continued toward my center.
His slightly calloused palm felt rough against my sensitive skin, but his touch was… so light, he was barely touching me. Teasing and tempting.
Driving… me… crazy.
My heart thudded so hard I thought it would spill out of my chest. His fingers brushed against my folds, a soft touch, but I quivered in response.
“You’re red and swollen,” he rasped, his voice thick and hard. His fingers spread me open, still ever so gentle. Maddox tsked, the side of his lips quirking up in approval. “… and wet.”
“What… are you doing?” I questioned, slightly breathless.
His chest rumbled with a low growl. “Having my breakfast. You can’t deny a starving man, Baby, and last night, I built up quite the appetite.”
Goosebumps peppered my flesh, and my core tightened as Maddox lowered his head between my thighs. Maddox wasn’t the first man to go down on me, but he was the first one to take his sweet time. To stare at my body like he was about devour me, and it still wouldn’t be enough for him.
I ached.
I didn’t know I could feel this way, this intense… fierce need inside of me. Desire pooled in the pit of my stomach, and my arousal leaked out of me. The moment his mouth was on me, my body tightened, and I
