should go check in with them and see if they really did notice me. And when you check with them, tell them that they’d better be paying a hell of a lot more attention to the west side of the building.”
Dex frowned.
“Go,” Sebastian urged, voice roughening. “Have an up close and personal chat with your crew because I want to be alone with Alyssa, and I want to be alone with her now.”
Dex took a step toward the door. Then stopped. “You’re going to play nicely with her, aren’t you?”
“When it comes to Alyssa,” Sebastian’s voice roughened even more, going almost savage, “I never play.”
“No.” Dex coughed. “I’m realizing that you don’t.” Then he left.
The apartment door shut behind him. She heard the click of the lock as Dex secured it from the outside.
Sebastian stared at her a moment. His eyes were so bright.
And her throat was way, way dry. “You came after me.”
“What the hell else was I gonna do?” He hauled her against his body and took her mouth with his.
Chapter Fifteen
Gentle, gentle, gentle. Yes, he knew he should be gentle, but his mouth was wildly plundering hers. He was kissing her with frantic, desperate need, and Sebastian couldn’t pull back. His control was gone.
That shit happened when a man tracked his lady across town, scaled a building to get to her, and then found a prick holding her hand and leaning in way too close to her.
Jealous? Oh, yes, he was.
Possessive. Sure, he was guilty as hell.
His hands dropped to Alyssa’s waist, and Sebastian lifted her up against him. “I’m going to fuck you,” he growled. Screw this being the right time or place, he needed her. A primitive, savage hunger was driving him like nothing ever had before.
Her arms wound around his neck. “Good.”
He almost stumbled. Shit. The woman had a way of making him extra crazy.
She bit his lower lip. “And could you do it fast? Because I don’t want to give Dex a show, and I have no idea how long it will be before he’s back.”
“He sees you naked, and he’s dead.” Sebastian carried her to the bedroom—the same room that he’d snuck into earlier. He’d scaled the wall, then unlocked the window. Windows on second floors weren’t normally wired for security—or at least, not wired the way the ones on the first floor were. Unless glass shattered from a second-floor window, the alarms didn’t usually sound. He’d made sure not to shatter any glass.
He lowered Alyssa to the bed and stripped her in seconds. He took care not to jostle her arm. He hated that she’d been cut, and he wouldn’t get over the sight of her bleeding anytime soon.
“What is it?” She pushed up onto her elbows and peered at him.
His hands went to the waistband of his jeans. “We have a problem.”
“I’m naked and you’re not? Is that the problem you’re talking about?”
“I don’t have a condom, and I want to fuck you so hard I’m shaking.”
Her tongue flickered out. Pressed to her lower lip. “That’s not really a problem. I’m on birth control.”
His whole body froze.
“And I’m clear. I’m always very careful. I’ve never gone without…except, well, I guess with you. Right now.”
Do not pounce. Do not. “Why with me?” His voice was nothing more than a guttural rumble.
“Because I want you this way.” She stared into his eyes.
I will take you any way I can get you. “I’m clear, too. You don’t have a damn thing to worry about.”
She smiled at him.
That was it.
It.
He put his gun on the nightstand because, yes, he’d been packing the whole time. He shoved down his jeans, ditched his shoes, tossed his shirt some damn place, and lunged for her. His mouth took hers, and he thrust his tongue past her lips. His cock was aching and eager, and he pushed at the entrance to her body.
Get her wet. Get her ready.
His hand slid between them. Eased into the sweet heat between her legs. He stroked her, caressed her clit with his thumb, and worked two fingers into her. He kept going, kept pushing and teasing until her body softened even more for him. Until she was slick and moaning.
Then he replaced his hand with his dick. The head pressed to the entrance of her body.
Nothing between us. Nothing.
He sank into her. Lost his freaking mind. She was wet and hot and so tight. For a moment, he didn’t move at all because when you suddenly found yourself in freaking paradise, you
