I thought today really couldn’t get any worse for me.
Seconds tick by before I find my voice. “Phantom.”
I don’t realize my feet are moving until I’m already halfway to my car and the ground suddenly falls away and I’m flying.
I land on a broad shoulder and then I'm moving again. Only this time, instead of getting closer to my car and the way out of here, I’m being placed back on the ground where I started.
Steel arms wrap around my waist and I’m pinned against a wall at my back and a very unmovable wall of muscle at my front.
I swallow hard, but the dry lump in my throat made of fear and surprise isn’t budging.
“Phantom!” I seethe through gritted teeth. “What the hell are you doing?” I work hard to keep my growling voice pitched low.
“I’m wondering the same damn thing.” He growls roughly and I swear I try not to shudder from the deep, rumbling rasp that plays with a woman’s libido.
But I fail and then a face lowers in front of mine and for the first time in three years the man I love kisses me.

PHANTOM
Icrush my lips to hers and savor the sweetness of her taste. Every red blood cell in my body soaks up the goodness of her essence like it’s a life force my body has craved for years.
And it has.Ihave.
I am a man starved for the love of my woman. Or at least she used to be. I growl into her lips and my cock is instantly ready to reclaim her body while my heart reconnects with hers.
I’m dangerously close to throwing this entire operation. There’s not a bone in my body that doesn’t want to throw Everly back over my shoulder and keep running until I have her safely away from this place. And then I wouldn't let her out of my sight until she laid out every single detail about why she left. Hell, I wouldn't take my hands off her sexy little fuckable body. I could make sweet love to this woman for as long as it takes to get the answers I need out of her. She always loved a good pounding.
My hands slide from her hips, up her curvy body only to settle over the slopes of her cheeks. She hungrily whimpers into mymouth when I slip my tongue between her parted lips to caresses over hers. I should focus on the problem at hand, but not a chance. She is here and in my arms again. The world can burn now. I don’t care. I have what I need and she is mine.
Her hands come to rest on my chest and for the next five seconds it’s as if she never left me and I never let my heart ice over. We are Everly and Phantom again. Like we were meant to be.
I nip her lower lip and she gives this tiny gasp that is my undoing. And here I was thinking up all kinds of ways to get her back to my place so I could tie her to my bed and make her beg for my cock.
I tease my lips over hers before I pull back and connect our gazes. It’s dark as hell out here, but I can see the pretty green of her eyes glitter with the old love we used to share.
Temptation mixes with need in my blood. I dip my head and steal another taste of her lips. My reward is another whimper while her soft curves mold to my body.
One little sexy sound from her and I’m ready to fall to my knees and begherto come back to me.
And then I blink and we are right back in the hell I wish I could end with her next words.
Her hands wrap around my wrists where I’m holding her face to mine. “Take that grin off your face, Phantom. You look like you’ve won the lottery.”
My grin deepens. “I have.”
I clamp a hand over her mouth and silently tell her to lower the volume. That’s when I realize what she has on. I was so mesmerized by her lips, I missed the rest of the juicy package.
I look her up and down. She’s dressed like she’s watched way too many heist movies for her own good. There’s not a thing on her body that isn’t black or latex. Including a mask that covers half her face, I kid you not.
I’m not gonna lie. It’s doing things for my dick. She is cute as hell in it. I move my mouth to say as much but then again…the way lasers of death shoot from her narrowed eyes, I am probably better off keeping my mouth shut.
There are a million things I want to tell this woman, but the men coming up behind me draw my attention back on the danger at hand.
“Phantom, you good?”
It’s Venom.
