“Don’t lie to me. Men have lied to my mother for as long as I can remember. And too many have lied to me too. I want to trust you. And I hope I will. But the lies…I can’t handle them.”
“I swear.” He held her hand against his heart.
And she felt something else. Something more than his heartbeat. Something stiff and prodding against her backside. She blinked up at him.
He flushed. “I’m sorry. I can’t help it around you.”
She felt super sexy all of a sudden. And she remembered in detail what he’d done for her Friday night. All for her, he’d said. She should have trusted him. Perhaps she could make things up to him…
She smiled.
He leaned back. “What? What did I do now?”

Axel didn’t trust that sly smile on Rena’s face. God, she’d crushed him earlier. Cutting things between them before he’d had a chance to show her what was in his heart had been devastating. Then to get a call from his father and learn that Jannik Heller and Maksim, Axel’s older brother, would be coming for a visit? It had thrown him into a fit of anger.
This shop belonged tohim.He didn’t need his father or brother fucking with his life. And no matter what they said as an excuse to oversee the American stores his father owned, he knew they’d come to talk over matters of his mother’s estate. One she wanted kept far from her louse of a husband.
But having Rena here, now, made all the hurt go away. The icy numbness followed by rage melted into warmth and caring.
He saw the affection in her amber eyes, knew the bliss of having her go liquid around him. He’d had to take himself in hand several times a day since then, thinking about her like that. So sexy and soft, post-orgasm.
But he hadn’t seen this look before. Naughty mixed with fierce.
His heart raced.
“Axel, I’m so sorry.” She ran her nails over his chest, scraping at the collar of his shirt, grazing the flesh of his neck.
He sucked in a breath. “No problem.”
“I should make it up to you.”
“You have nothing to apologize for.”
She leaned in to whisper, “I remember Friday night, do you?”
He moaned, hard enough to bend steel. “Ja.Too much I remember.”
She nipped his earlobe and licked his ear, and he couldn’t help jerking under her, his entire body one taut snap away from crumbling.
“Did making me come make you feel good?”
“Rena, what are you doing to me?” he moaned, shocked when her hands ran down his chest to his stomach, and lower.
“Answer me.” She kissed his cheek, his neck, and sucked.
He groaned, long and loud, uncaring if everyone had left. Though anyone could pass by and see them through the glass on either side of the door, he could barely think past the throbbing in his cock.
“Ja.Being with you makes me feel good. I sucked that finger clean,Liebling.” In German, he added, “And I want to fuck you. I want to slide my dick between your lips, want to eat you out. Feel you come over my tongue. I want to take you, everywhere. Rena, I want you more than anything.”
She kissed him to silence then unsnapped his jeans.
The sound was overly loud in the room. Nothing to be heard but the ticking clock and his zipper moving slowly down.
“You’re so big,” she said. “You’ll be a tight fit, won’t you?Liebling,” she teased. Then she kissed him again.
She slid her hand inside his underwear, and her fingers moved past his slick tip, spreading that moisture over the rest of him.
