that I’m going to spank you later look—it’s every guy’s dream.”
“You’re a . . .” I gritted my teeth. “Huh, maybe I will take the guest room, Alfie would probably love to share a bed.”
“That backfired in ways I didn’t predict,” he grumbled, getting to his feet and holding out his hand. “Also, if you sleep anywhere but my bed, you’re going to have company and not just that of the farting variety.” He jerked his head to Alfie. “I mean you, buddy.”
Alfie whined and turned in a little circle. I laughed while Slade locked the doors and then wrapped his arms around me from behind, drawing lazy kisses with his tongue down my neck.
I shivered.
“See, that’s the response I love . . .” He tugged my ear with his teeth. “You’re so damn responsive for me—how the hell am I supposed to keep my hands off you?”
“You’re not.” I turned in his arms.
He devoured my next words, walking us backward toward the stairway. “I want more of you . . . I want all of you.”
“You have all of me.”
“I want it all the time. I want all of you every second. I want to hear you scream my name so loud your voice goes fucking hoarse. I want every step you take to be a reminder that I’ve been inside you, that I’m between your thighs.” He oozed sexuality, his powerful body bracing me against the stairs, his golden eyes wild as he flattened his palm against my ass and jerked me forward. A tremor of want rippled down my spine as he lowered his head and coaxed my mouth open with his velvet tongue. “I’m not done yet. We’re not done.”
I exhaled against his lips. “Good.”
Growling, he pulled me into his arms, our mouths knocked together in frenzied heated kisses that had me rubbing myself shamelessly against him. I grabbed two fistfuls of his hair, deepening the kiss as he braced himself against the wall.
“Keep doing that and Alfie’s going to see you naked.” He swallowed another scorching kiss as we stumbled into the bedroom.
Slowly, he set me on my feet.
I’d never seen a man’s eyes so eager, so full of temptation and power. He was a perfect box named Sin—and I was about to fall.
Again.
My blood buzzed in my ears as he dipped his head. His mouth didn’t touch mine, but the inches between our lips were so electric that I swayed toward him.
And then I was hit with cold air as he lifted my dress over my head and tossed it to the floor.
Before I could utter a word, he gripped my thong in a fist and ripped it from my body. “You won’t be needing this tonight.”
“What about tomorrow?” I licked my suddenly dry lips.
He just grinned. “Don’t get ahead of yourself, wildcat, I’d hate for you to bite off more than you can chew.”
My heart fluttered in my chest.
I pressed a hand against my skin to feel its beats—the beats were for him, in anticipation of his touch. Ready for anything he would give me.
His tugged his shirt over his head. My eyes greedily roamed his golden-tanned body and the bulging lean muscles that rippled beneath the surface of the most perfect skin I’d ever seen. He was more. More dangerous, more beautiful. I couldn’t look away.
Abs like his shouldn’t exist on real humans.
I kept thinking it was a trick of the light.
And then I touched them.
My knees knocked as I swayed and muttered, “Unbelievable.”
“You’re shaking.” He grabbed my hand and brought it to his mouth, kissing each fingertip until he reached my pinkie, and then he linked it with his and tugged me toward the bedpost. “One foot on the bed, one on the floor, try to hold on tight.”
I did. Because I wasn’t thinking straight, and had he told me to lie facedown in the bathtub and oink, I probably would have done it without question.
I was facing away from him as the air crackled with electric heat between us. I could hear the faint murmur of the TV downstairs, Alfie scratching at the door. The patter of rain lightly falling on the roof. The smell of his aftershave as he moved the air behind me stirred my senses, and I waited for whatever was coming next.
And when I felt his rock-hard body behind me.
When I felt his length press against my skin, the heat burning every inch it touched, I squeezed the bedpost harder. Used it to keep me from
