“After fucking you senseless, sucking you off, and feeding you my dick, excuse the fuck out of me if I don’t exactly know what personal business is supposed to mean.”
Violet’s eyes storm, and she glares at me. “Now you’re going to just air our sex life in front of your whole compound?” Another poke to my chest. “I would never kiss and tell…”
“Sweetheart, we did a whole lot more than kiss back there in the garage.” I can’t help but have a little fun at her expense. She’s making a scene, and I can’t have that. It’s one thing to bring my business to my brothers. It’s another to have it thrown at their feet for sport.
“Shadow. I can’t?—”
Before she can say another damned word, I pick her up around the waist and toss her over my shoulder. I plant a firm smack on her ass. “Now, shut your damn beautiful mouth before I put something in there to keep you quiet.”
I storm down the corridor toward my bedroom, leaving behind whoops and hollers and a lot of high-pitched whistles from my brothers. I kick open my door, set Violet down, then slam the door shut behind me.
“How could you?” Her nostrils flare and she glares at me. “How dare you.”
I lunge for her, cupping the back of her neck and dragging her toward my chest. She lifts up on her toes and takes my face in her hands.
“You embarrassed me,” she seethes.
“You left me,” I spit out.
She seems startled, her green eyes wide and her lips parted. Then she yanks my face to hers, and we kiss. The kiss is enraged, violent and demanding, accusing and so goddamn greedy.
I want to take her and make her mine.
Never, ever let her walk away again.
What she’s feeling, I don’t know, because she’s rabid. A woman unhinged with passion. She bangs her mouth into mine, kisses me until I’m breathless. She’s yanking off her clothes, tugging down the same yoga pants and loose top I stripped off her last night.
“Spank me.” She breathes the word as we stumble, tripping our way onto my bed.
“Fuck,” I groan. “Is this about what I did out there? Sweetheart, you?—”
“I liked it.” She silences me with a daring look. “Now, do it like you mean it. Spank my ass, Shadow.”
Violet James cursed. Violet James, my sunshine innocent librarian, asked me to spank her ass.
“Turn around.” I point toward the bed. “Hands down, ass up.”
She follows my instructions, turning her body to face my bed and bending over so those large, plush ass cheeks are facing me. Her long hair is spread over her back, her face looking up toward the ceiling.
“You praying to the heavens, baby? You may be an angel, but I’m damned sure not.” As I say the words, I draw back and plant a solid smack on her right butt cheek. The sound of my palm against her skin echoes, and I immediately bend to blow cool air against the red mark my hand left. “Do you like a little pain, Violet?”
I sweep two fingers between her legs, parting her trimmed curls to slide my knuckles across her wet seam.
“You do like pain.” I punctuate my words by gently biting her ass right in the same spot I spanked her. Not hard enough to leave a mark but enough that she sucks air through her teeth. “You tell me when it’s too much,” I whisper against her ear. “I want you to want the kinda pain I give you. I want you to get off on it. You hear me? If it’s too much, you tell me. And if it’s not enough, you beg me for more.”
She looks over her bare shoulder at me, her lips wet and parted, her eyes blazing. “Spank me harder, Shadow.”
I drop my ass onto the edge of the bed and pull her down so she’s lying on her belly over my lap. I spear my left hand through the back of her hair and wind the long tresses around my fist. “You like this?” I ask, tightening just enough to hear her suck in a breath.
“There,” she murmurs. “That’s enough. That’s good.”
I don’t move, don’t lighten the pressure of my left fist in her hair, but then with my right arm, I lift my palm and bring it down across her ass.
She whimpers, a seductive moan that sends the blood barreling through my veins.
My cock is screaming against the inside of my jeans, demanding it be set free to fuck this woman boneless, but I’m so goddamn happy she’s back, I’m going to make this last. Make her feel so good, she’ll think long and hard before she walks out on me again.
This may not be forever, but I know what I want. And I want Violet James more than I want my next ride, my next beer, my next breath. I want her pussy and her ass, her mouth and her mind. And tonight, I’m taking all of her.
