She would have to talk to Darryn about her schedule.Her life had always been so busy, and she never had anyone else to consider besides herself.But at this point, she wasn’t sure what she and Darryn were.
She turned around and looked at Darryn.He was talking to his dad and laughed at something he’d said.Her heart did its usual silly little dance when he was around and she sighed.
Damn, she loved this man, always had and always would.Even if he only wanted her for a little while, that was also fine; she had no pride left when it came to Darryn Cavallo.She wanted him something fierce, and if a few days, a few months were all they’d have, then she’d be happy.At this point, she would take what she could get.
Last goodbyes were called out and finally the last car drove away.
Darryn turned to her with a smile.
“I love my family, but damn, I’m glad they’re all gone now.”He put his arm around her as they moved toward the front door.
“How are you feeling?”Hannah asked as he closed the door behind them.“Headache better?”
“I’m fine,” he said with a light in his eyes that left her dry-mouthed.“Why do you ask?”
Her hands moved without any direction from her brain and lifted her top over her head.Her own brazenness startled her, but her body knew no shame.She wanted Darryn, and after all the fear and worry of the past two years, she was done overthinking this.She wanted him and she had been waiting long enough.
“I wanted to make sure you can handle this,” she teased as she unzipped her jeans and shimmied out of them.She took a deep breath.All she was wearing was a blue G-string and a matching lace bra.
Darryn stepped closer, his eyes molten chocolate.He had his hands in his pockets, and the only movement was the flaring of his nostrils.His whole body was tense, the muscles on his arms flexed.The temperature in the room increased rapidly, but he didn’t touch her.
His heated gaze traveled slowly over her, scorching her skin as his gaze moved downward.
Immediately, her body reacted to his bold stare.And he hadn’t even touched her yet.
His gaze lingered on her breasts, and her nipples hardened.When he looked up again, his eyes were black with desire.
He exhaled slowly.“You are so beautiful, I can’t believe you’re here, with me, like this.”
She moved forward, stepped boldly between his legs.“Believe it,” she whispered and unbuckled his belt.
He dropped his forehead against hers.“I’m scared to take my hands out of my pockets, scared that I might hurt you.I’ve wanted you so desperately for so long, I…”
But she had stopped listening.She unzipped his pants, pushed them down.He faltered, and she slowly began unbuttoning his shirt, concentrating on her task.
With each movement of her hands, another part of his rock-hard muscles was revealed, a part she had no choice but to touch, to caress, to kiss until he was shuddering under her hands.
Against her tummy, his desire was growing, making her light-headed.By the time she finally unbuttoned the last button, pushed away the sides of his shirt, and spread her hands over his muscled, gorgeous body, she was shivering with need.
Her fingers trailed over his shoulder where Stephen had hit him.It was black and blue and had to be so sore.But before she could ask, he picked her up and caught her lips with his.He tripped over his pants, cussed against her lips before he deepened the kiss, and pinned her against the wall.

She was killinghim.Desperate to touch as much of her as quickly as possible, Darryn’s hands streaked down her sides.She was rose petals and satin, velvet and heat.He could spend days touching her skin, investigating every smooth line, every soft curve of her gorgeous body, but she had unleashed something inside of him and, although he was trying to hold on to his sanity, he was losing his grip fast.
With deft movements, he got rid of the last pieces of clothing.Lifting his head, he cupped her breasts, watching in wonder how perfectly they fit in his hands.He bent down, caught one nipple in his mouth, and lost a little bit of his reason as her scent surrounded him.The whole of the outside world ceased to exist.All that mattered was loving this woman, showing her exactly how much he wanted her.
“Darryn,” she whispered, her head moving restlessly against the wall.
“Yeah?”he asked, making sure her other breast got the same treatment.
“I…I need you.Now,” she demanded, her hands moving restlessly over him.
Claiming her mouth again, his hands moved down so he could cup her.She was ready for him.The need to be one with her roared through his blood, and with her name on his lips, he lifted her higher against the wall and pushed into her.
Sobbing, she folded her legs around his body.
“Look at me?”he asked through clenched teeth while trying to focus on her face.
