were around my age, and I watched you improve every year. Now you’re a hero.”

“A hero? Is that how you saw me the other night?” I reach out for her arm and bring her to me, so she’s standing between my thighs.

She lays a soft palm on my cheek. “I saw a troubled man.”

A fair call.

“What do you see now?”

Star stares at me like she really cares and then straddles me, hoisting her skirt up a little, and damn if my cock doesn’t react. She places her hands on my shoulders. “A man filled with torment. Some of it from his past, and some because there’s a woman straddling his lap, and he wants to fuck her. Only he’s not sure about this woman, so he’s holding back.”

“You think you’re a fucking psychic?”

“You tell me?” She runs her fingers across my forehead and moves strands of hair away from my eyes.

My hand goes straight to between her legs. I slide the thin material aside and choke out a cough at how ready she is for me. “You know what I want and already imagined how good I would feel inside you. That doesn’t mean you can read my mind.”

She shrugs. “I wasn’t the one who got high last night. I remember every sensation.”

I bite her neck, kiss and lick her skin. “Tonight will be different.” I pull her top over her head and yank her skirt up to bunch around her hips. I’m not wasting time in case Brax asks her to leave, or her being here attracts other unwanted company. Star makes light work of my shorts and when she pushes the band down, my dick springs free. I’m ready because damn, I want her as bad as she wants me. Our lips join. The kiss is desperate and noisy. She eases her hips up and slides down onto my cock.

She gasps and stills. “Give me a moment.”

I bunch her thick dark hair in a pony and tug lightly, so her neck tilts for me. My kiss is rough. My other hand is squeezing her tit in a desperate need of not getting enough of Star. I bite her neck again and shudder to hold back the urge to plunge deeper inside her.

“Careful marking me, soldier. You might make someone a little crazy.”

Brax had already warned me. Yet that information spurs me on to claim Star. I suck and nip my way to her breast while she eases herself slowly up and down the length of my dick. I’m leaving little marks on her, and I don’t give a fuck who sees them.

She came to my bedroom for a reason.

Star wants me.

The notion driving me wild.

In seconds, she’s on her back, and I’m claiming her, driving into her until she calls my name. Jesus, even Mia would have heard the extent of her orgasm. This girl knows how to make me smile.

When I catch my breath, I slide off Star and lay beside her on my back.

She’s quiet.

“Everything okay?” I ask and roll onto my side. Star is staring at the ceiling with a blank gaze. “Did I hurt you,” I ask with concern.

She shakes her head. It’s subtle but not at all reassuring.

“Then what?”

“Every guy I’ve been with fucks me.”

I’m not sure I am following.

She meets my gaze and says nothing, so I ask again, “Are you sure I didn’t hurt you?”

“No,” she whispers. “I like it rough. Except you’re different to the other guys. And… I wonder if sex will ever be any different to this?”

“You want me to be gentle?”

“I don’t know, I’ve never had intimate sex.” She shakes her head. “Forget I said that. I’ve no clue why those crazy fucking thoughts came into my head.” Star springs up. “Anyway, I came to give you back your money. I didn’t want to give it back earlier with any evidence of powder on it.”

“Thanks, I appreciate it.” With little else to say, I point to my ensuite. “There’s a bathroom if you want to clean yourself.”

“As for your coffee rewards card.” She grins at me. “I’m keeping it.” I watch her round arse as she walks into the bathroom and emerges with her clothes on, then she leans over and kisses me on the lips. “I’d like to do this again.”

“You can’t stay longer?”

She shakes her head. “I’ll be back.”

“Tomorrow night?” I ask because I could get used to this every night. It might make the move to Brisbane more enjoyable.

“Give me your phone.”

I do so,
