“Mmmm, good point.”His hands skimmed over my back and skipped down to grab at my backside.“Well, never let it be said that I don’t listen to your needs, little girl.”

In one swift motion, he lifted me from my feet, spinning me toward the wall and pinning me gently against it.I gasped at his agility, exhilarated by his change of tack, yet simultaneously worried about his health and shocked at the cold temperature of the tiles against my back.In a few seconds of strength and dexterity, he’d raised me from the tiles and spun me one hundred and eighty degrees.

“You want it like it was back then?”

His voice had lowered to a snarl, my sex clenching reflexively at its deeper resonance.The rougher he got, the more aroused I became, and staring into his eyes, I accepted that was the contradiction.

“What about your blood pressure, Sir?”

“Stop worrying.”His gaze drilled into me.“Give in to me.”

I should have been immune to his appeal, should have been repulsed by what he’d stood for, but in the warm haze of the jet’s mists, the version of Harper with me then was every inch as enticing as the man who’d swept me to freedom.In fact, the man threatening to spear me—the one I loved and trusted—was even more alluring,

“Yes, I want it like that.”Nose to nose with him, I sensed his crown nudging at my sex.“Please, Sir.”

“Do you remember that first time?”His kisses were everywhere, at my nose, on my lips, my chin, and my neck.

“Yes,” I gasped, vaguely aware of the shower mist growing around us while he pinned me there.“You were slow and sensual when I’d assumed you’d be fast and frenzied.”

“Like this?”He pushed inside me, his swollen dick stretching my pussy as it edged inside, claiming me.

“Oh, yes.Just like that, Sir.”I rose over him as best I could, our lips colliding when I demanded more of his length.

“I knew right then, you know.”His voice was almost pained at the admission.“That day, in the shower in my unit, I knew I was never going to let you go, Caroline.”

I called out as he slammed into me again, my response lost to the torrent and his carnal growl.

“I knew you were going to change everything.”He grazed the words over my lips.

I didn’t ask how he could possibly have known.Didn’t seek clarification on the enormity of what he suggested.In fact, as he filled me up and pushed me harder against the tiles, I hardly dwelled on the confession at all.

Maybe he had known something inherent in those early hours in the shower at Fortorus, but if he had, he’d never intimated as such.As I recalled, he’d denied us both that morning, but happily reveled in the capability of my mouth once he’d got me dressed and taken me to his office.It was there, ushered into the space designed for his expensive shoes, that he’d turned me into his personal footrest with added benefits.And there that I’d started to realize the full extent of not only what was going on around the hideous camp, but also the true depths of my own desires.

“You changed everything,” I panted, unsure if the reply was gratitude or an accusation.In many ways, it was both.

There was no doubt that, without Harper’s intervention, I’d have ended up assaulted and likely dead, but that conclusion didn’t belie the degrading things he’d had me do those first few days.As it turned out, I’d become inclined toward his kinks, but he couldn’t have known that at the time.In that moment, he’d used me for what he’d wanted, just as I had chosen to use him to help my cause.

What had started as a quick and convenient fuck had morphed into something neither one of us could have anticipated.

“Fuck, I love you.”His body tensed as his climax neared, the sinews in his body pronounced as he battled with the looming tsunami.

His expression faltered the moment the passion flooded his system, one of his hands releasing my right leg and allowing my toes to brush the tiles below.I watched as he came undone, eventually freeing my second leg and allowing me to bear my weight as I cradled his head over my shoulder.

I waited until the tumult of pleasure had ebbed from his eyes before I finally whispered my reply.

“I love you, Adam.”

His gaze flitted back to mine as another round of passion cascaded, and holding him, I whispered my demand.

“Don’t you dare try and die on me again.”
