take over.

“I take care of what’s mine, Harper, and you’re mine now. And anyone who tries to make you feel bad is going to have to go through me first.”

It wasn’t until that very minute that she realized how badly she needed to hear someone say that. That she was worth fighting for. Everyone had abandoned her even though she had nothing to do with what her father had done. And because she had finally had enough, she didn’t even have her parents anymore.

Knowing that Ethan wanted her, that he wanted to take care of her filled the hole that had been growing inside her chest. She could make it through anything as long as he was there beside her.

“Even though everything is a mess around us, I’m really glad you saved me in Tahiti, Ethan. I’m glad it was you.”

“Me too.” His arms tightened and he slid his tongue into her mouth, cutting off any more talking. When his lips trailed down over the column of her throat, her knees went weak. Fire licked through her veins and she didn’t care if the whole world was standing in the shadows, she wanted him.

Without moving his lips, then slid his hands down and gripped her ass through the thin material of her dress.

The hard bulge in his pants ground against the thin silk of her panties and she groaned. Her heart thundered against her chest. Laughter exploded somewhere down the beach and Ethan took her hand before walking back toward the house.

“As much as I would like to fuck you right here, I don’t want anyone else seeing what I get to see.”

They crossed the patio and Harper saw that his parents were gone, thank god.

He led her to a large bedroom, opened the door and then kicked it shut as he took hold of her with determination.

The dress he had picked out closed with a tie at the side and with one deft pull, he had it open. She was wearing a matching soft grey lace bra and panty set, also picked out by him. His gaze roved over her and hunger burned in his eyes when she shrugged the dress off her shoulders and it pooled at her feet.

“So fucking beautiful. So fucking mine,” he growled. He reached out and cradled the back of her head, pulling her in so that he could take her mouth again in a demanding kiss. He owned her mouth, taking what he wanted from her every time their lips met.

A whimper escaped from her throat and he swallowed it down as if he were a starving man. The hard tips of her nipples strained at the lace and she moved restlessly against his chest. She dug her nails into his sides, urging him closer even though nothing separated them.

If he did nothing but kiss her, she would die happy. But she wanted more.

So much more.

“Ethan, please…”

He pulled back enough so that he could look into her eyes, and the hunger she saw reflecting back took her breath away. His pupils were so big, so black, that there was hardly any color left.

She slid one hand down to caress the bulge in his pants and his jaw tightened. Lust flared in his eyes. “You want that?” he asked, his voice low and gravely.

“Very much. Please.”

She knew he loved it when she said please.

Raw desire crossed his face and he growled. “Tell me again.”

“Please,” she exhaled on a low groan. “I need you now.”

“Anything you want.” He swept her into his arms and carried her to the bed. His gaze bore into her and what she saw there took her breath away. And then she was falling again, falling with Ethan as he took her in more ways than one.

Chapter 3

Sun filtered in through sheer curtains as Harper’s eyes opened.

Ethan had his arm draped over her waist and she had one leg over his. Last night had been unbelievable. How every time with Ethan got better was beyond her. He’d wring out more orgasms than she could remember and when he finally sank into her, he took his time.

It had been different than their usual hard and fast, though it seemed much more intense. If she didn’t know better, she would swear that Ethan had made love to her last night.

At times, they’d made enough noise that she’d worried his parents might hear, even though they were in a distant wing of an enormous mansion.

Now she lay in his arms, curled up with him
