He pressed his erection against her. Electrical sparks flew from her clit through her body, peaking her nipples and seizing her lungs. It wasn’t enough. Not early enough. He nipped his way up her neck and finally released her hands to cup her face, leaning back and kissing her again, even deeper than before.
She dug her fingers through his thick hair, holding on and kissing him back. More. She needed so much more.
He leaned back. “You’re sure?”
“God, yes.” She rubbed against him, needing relief. “Definitely yes.” She ripped his shirt over his head, tossing it toward the sofa, careful of the burn marks on his torso.
He rolled them over, landing her on top of him.
She scrambled up, and he grasped her shirt, holding while she shrugged out of it. Laughing, panting, they disrobed, rolling toward the kitchen. Their mutual frenzy ratcheted up her need even more. When his talented fingers found her core, she groaned, arching against his broad hand.
He rolled again, putting her beneath him. Slowly, he penetrated her.
She gasped at his size, digging her nails into his arms.
He paused. “I’m clean.”
“Me too, and on the pill.” She gasped, trusting him. Besides, as the shrink for the team, she’d seen his medical records. All of them.
His smile was feral with the oddest hint of sweet. “Good.” He shoved all the way inside her with one powerful push.
She blinked, her lungs expelling oxygen, her body on fire. For him. Only for him.

Angus grew still, hunger slashing through him with a power he’d never felt before. He kept his weight off Nari with one elbow and forced himself to let her body become accustomed to him. Her internal walls pulsed around him, hotter than any furnace. He groaned, pressing his forehead to hers, fighting himself. Fighting every instinct he had to move hard and fast—to claim her.
If he even hinted at words like that, she’d probably break his nose.
But it was true. Beyond the moment, past the anger always consuming him, existed a simple truth: He wanted to make this woman his. He abandoned the impossible thought immediately and concentrated on right here and right now. He leaned up, meeting her gaze.
In the midnight hour her eyes glowed a luminous brown, startling with clarity. From the first time she’d met his gaze directly, he’d been struck by the color of her eyes. “You have the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen,” he murmured, brushing her hair away from her face.
Her chin lifted. “They’re brown. Dark brown.”
Not even close. “They’re sunlight shining through the edges of molten copper,” he murmured, kissing her again, feeling her surprise in the curve of her sweet lips. Her intelligence matched her strength, but it was the kindness in her eyes that glowed and drew people to her.
She sank her nails into his ass and he forgot all about her eyes.
His hands roamed over her silky skin and his lips moved down her jaw to her pert breasts. Her nipples were taupe-colored. He kissed and nuzzled her, nipping one and then the other. Her gasps of pleasure penetrated his brain and he started moving, trying to be gentle.
“More,” she said, arching into him, her ankles once again clasping at his back and spurring him on with surprising strength. Then she bit his shoulder, right by his neck, and he was lost.
His control snapped and he captured her hips, partially lifting her off the carpet. Hard and fast, he powered into her, letting his body finally take control. She met each thrust, her small breasts bouncing above a bruise across her rib cage. Even seeing that, he couldn’t stop.
Didn’t want to.
She threw back her head, elongating her slender neck. He dropped his head, increasing the strength of his thrusts and scraping his teeth along her jugular, careful not to really scratch her.
She moaned his name, running her hands across his chest and up over his shoulders, clutching him closer.
He thrust into her. “Say it again,” he ordered, tightening his grip on her.
She opened her eyes, and her pupils were dilated. “Angus,” she whispered, the sound pained.
Yeah. He angled his next thrust, making sure to impact her clit.
Her eyes widened and then she arched completely off the carpet, crying out and shutting her eyes. The orgasm visibly swept through her body from her neck down to her core, and then she gripped him so tightly his ears rang. He groaned, barely freeing himself before plunging back into heaven.
