“Come here,” I growled again.
“Come and get me.”
I trembled with the idea of her becoming more than just a woman I’d fallen for butfamily. If she carried my baby, we would be joined forever.
And you know what Cut would do.
My heart shut down.
I focused on sex—trying to separate emotional from physical gratification. I lied to myself, but it was better than asking her what truly happened while she was free.
“You want to play? Fine, I can play.”
She’d upset me without even trying. I wanted payback.
With a vicious yank, I untied the towel and hurled myself across the bed. I snagged her waist, slamming her onto her back.
Naked skin against naked skin.
I’d never felt anything so delicious.
She cried out as we bounced and collided, coming to rest on top of the blankets. Instantly, sharp unbridled lust laced around us. She smelled so good. Felt so good.
So warm.
So right.
Her chest rose and fell, teasing her nipples against my skin, twining her legs with mine.
I swooped down and bit her throat below her collar. “See what happenswhen you run?” Her incredible smell punched me harder than any of the bastards on the side of the road.
“You’re crushing me,” she breathed, her stomach fluttering against mine. Her fingernails dragged along my naked arse. “It’s not enough.”
Her talons sent shivers up my spine. I was so close to diving inside her. I snagged her wrists, pinning them above her head.
“Do you enjoy being spread-eagled beneath me?” I nuzzled her neck. “You’re my prisoner, yet you keep thinking you can win.”
She stiffened. “I think it’s time we agree we’re on the same side.” Her gaze darkened, a mask slipping into place. “I don’t want to win or lose anymore.” Struggling in my hold, she pressed a kiss on my jaw. “I just want you.”
My cock twitched, agreeing wholeheartedly.
I no longer wanted to be on anyone’s side but hers. That included my own.
Fuck, what a mess this has become.
When she’d left, I’d been willing to sacrifice my life to save hers. I would’ve died if it meant the Debt Inheritance had been void. But now—now I had to stay alive to ensure the Final Debt was paid.
I rocked against her pussy. “I agree...” Adjusting my hold on her wrists, I locked both with one hand and trailed the other over the delectable lines of her body. “Same team.”
She shuddered beneath my touch. “You mean it?”
I grabbed her breast, pinching her nipple. “I mean it.”
Her lips fell wide. A sigh escaped. And I took full advantage.
I kissed her.
She moaned, her mouth submitting to mine. Within a moment, the kiss went from a connection of lips to something deep and ravenous.
