shove aside his instincts so they could be together. She wanted it to be good for him, too. The blaze in his eyes was unlike the way anyone else had ever looked at her before.
Bringing her leg over, she straddled him and caged his hips with her thighs. Leaning forward, she braced her hands on his chest, her hair a curtain just for them. Cinnamon and spice hit her nose, the scent of him making her want to lick every inch of his skin. "Now what would you like me to do?"
His jaw clenched. "Kiss me."
A smile threatened to tug her mouth when she closed the distance and brought her lips to his. The charge was potent. His firm lips met hers and parted, tongue sweeping inside and claiming. Sliding her hands up his chest, she cupped his jaw.
He tensed and reared, but never removed his hands from behind his head. Tearing his mouth from hers, he closed his eyes and pressed his face into her neck. His tongue licked her pulse, hitting her nerve endings. He bucked his hips, sliding his shaft between her drenched folds and rubbing her clit.
She threw her head back and moaned, the sensation too good. "Noah."
He growled and bucked harder. "You're so wet for me."
"Yes," she breathed, ready to come apart at the seams. Knots bunched along her spine, tensing. "Tell me what's next."
"Pill?"
"What?"
"Are you on the pill? I'm safe." He groaned, rumbling her breasts with the vibration from his chest. "Need inside you now."
Her gaze met his. "I'm safe, too." Without breaking eye contact, she rose up and fisted the base of his shaft, aligning him to her opening. Slowly, she came down around him, the glide tight and hot and hard. Completely full, she leaned back and took him even deeper.
With his eyes shut tight, he slammed his head into the pillow. "Fuck me, fuck me, fuck me. Never done this without a condom." He panted, his eyes scrunching tighter. His abs clenched beneath her fingers.
Raking her nails lightly down his body, she stopped where their bodies joined. "Me either."
He sucked in a ragged breath. "Raven."
"I think I got it from here."
She rose until just the tip of him remained inside, and then came back down. The pressure was delicious. She quivered around his shaft, taking him again. "Noah."
He thrust up when she crashed down, setting a natural rhythm. Their bodies slapped together as she rode him hard, fast, because there was no stopping this insane need. Heat coiled in her core, pulsing, throbbing. Again and again he hit her deep, nailing her spot and stealing her breath. Over and over she chanted his name, each time it pulled a guttural groan from him and he thrust harder. Sweat beaded between them, creating a slick sheen.
"Fuck, Raven. So tight. You feel so goddamn good."
"Yes," she breathed as a spasm ripped through her center, striking out until she had nothing to ground her. She screamed his name, milking him.
He roared, driving twice more before stilling. Jerking. His release shot hot inside her as she collapsed on his chest.
They remained like that, breathing soughed, until she was confident they were on earth and she considered getting off him to clean up.
"Can I move my arms?" His voice had lost all tension, but the raspy lull was just as sexy.
She considered her answer, taking stock of her body, and nodded against his chest.
The handcuffs clinked as he pulled them from behind his head. He pushed the mechanism on the underside to release both clasps and tossed the cuffs to the floor.
"You knew how to get out of them?"
"I have a similar pair."
She touched the reddened areas around his wrists where the metal had rubbed his skin raw. He had fought the restraints harder than she thought. "They left marks."
He shrugged under her cheek. "It'll go away. It was worth it." His hands settled low on her back, tentative at first. When she didn't protest, he splayed his fingers and ran his hands up to thread them in her hair, forcing her to lift her head and look at him.
He studied her face before clearing his throat. "We need to talk."
Dread churned in her stomach, but she returned her cheek to his chest to avoid him seeing all the emotions she couldn't get a grip on. "It was a letdown from what you imagined, wasn't it? I didn't know how to tell you my preferences before now. I thought…"
His hands skimmed up and down her spine,
