The combination of his clothes rubbing against the back of her thighs and his cock buried deep inside her was electrifying. He grabbed her hair around his fist and lifted her face from the bed. “Come for me, baby.”
The way he said it, so rough and demanding, made her quiver. Gasping, her eyes closed as her orgasm claimed her, wave after wave, pounding her with mind bending pleasure. He gave a primal growl and with a final mind numbing thrust he climaxed. A hoarse cry tore from her throat and she collapsed, limp and sated, with his heavy body wrapped around her.

It was stilldark when Mason left the bed. He looked down at Piper from the light of his mobile and something twisted deep inside his chest. She looked completely gorgeous and thoroughly fucked.
Surely she couldn’t doubt how he felt about her anymore?
He resisted the urge to wake her with a kiss. He had work this morning and he sure as hell needed the overtime. The only thing he didn’t want was to leave Piper.
He’d just finished his shower when she wandered into the en suite, her hair all tangled and wearing his shirt from last night. He wrapped the towel around his waist, but it didn’t stop his dick from standing to attention.
“Good morning.” She yawned and stretched her arms over her head, which caused his shirt to gape open, giving him a very happy early morning view.
“Sure is.” He leered at her tits and she gave a huff of laughter before wrapping the shirt across her.
“One track mind.” She forked her fingers through her hair and sighed when she caught sight of her reflection.
“At least you know how I feel about you now.” He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her back against his erection, just in case she needed more evidence. Her smile in the mirror was all the answer he needed and he nuzzled her neck. The faint hint of her perfume mingled with the scent of sex. Damn, it was going to be a long day.
“I ache in places I never even knew I had.”
“You know what that means? You need more practice.”
She groaned. “Walked into that one didn’t I?”
He laughed. “You said it. And I’m taking up the offer.”
Her smile faded and for some reason his senses went on alert. “This feels a bit like the start of a relationship to me. I’m not sure…what do you think?”
Too fucking right we’re in a relationship.His response was so visceral his muscles went rigid and for a moment he had the crazy conviction he’d said the words aloud. Why the hell shouldn’t he? And then sanity smashed into him.
Relationships are overrated, that’s for sure.
He released a long breath. The insane notion he’d had of changing her mind with countless orgasms during the night died. Piper’s reflection gazed at him, and she looked so gorgeous and fragile a wave of fierce protectiveness crashed through him.
They hadn’t talked much about the guys she’d dated since Colton, but there’d not been anyone serious. Of course there hadn’t, because she was still in love with his brother, wasn’t she?
A burning sensation twisted through his chest.I’ve always known Colton’s between us.All he could do was hope that one day she’d be able to leave his brother in the past, where he belonged.Keep telling yourself that.Guilt gnawed through him, the way it always did whenever he thought about Colton and especially when he tried to justify the facthewas now with Piper.
Just because he wanted to take that giant step into the unknown world of commitment didn’t mean she was ready for it yet. Especially not withhim, with the bloody history they shared.
He wasn’t good enough for her, but he sure as hell wasn’t going to give her a reason to back off.
“If by relationship you mean fantastic sex then yeah. I’m all over it, baby.”
For a second she looked as though she’d been punched in the gut, but it was so fleeting he must’ve imagined it. Especially as she then gave a little laugh and patted the back of his hand.
“Of course that’s what I mean. What else?”
Tell her.But he couldn’t, because he didn’t have the words. “Just checking.” It was hard, but he backed away. If he didn’t, he’d end up late for work. “I’ll call you tomorrow.”

Piper leaned backagainst the front door after Mason had left and took a deep breath. She’d screwed up her nerve and asked him outright whether whatever this was they had together was a relationship, and he’d gone rigid. She guessed it was lucky he hadn’t just taken off.
He was naked.That wasn’t the reason he hadn’t disappeared. He might not want commitment, but he still wanted her.
