He fucks me harder, and the wet slap of our bodies is wickedly indecent music that makes me clench around him, anticipating our dramatic finish.
My moans spiral higher, incoherent, nails digging into his shoulders as I build, and build?—
“Leigh. You may want me to ruin you, but you’veruinedme,” he pants, voice rough, hips stuttering.
I clench around him. Yes, rightthere.
“So close—I can’t—holy fuck…”
Wilder moves faster. “Youcan.” He’s solid inside me. “Come for me.”
Like a meteor, my climax is white hot. My inner walls clamp around him. Shuddering, I cry out as my release tears through me.
It doesn’t take much more time before Wilder’s hips jerk. His body tautens, and he twitches inside me, coming in hot, thick bursts. He groans, the jagged sound ripping from his throat, and he’s clutching me so tight I almost can’t breathe.
My heart is a galloping horse, yet the rest of me collapses, boneless in his grasp.
Wilder presses a soft kiss to my shoulder. “You know how to put on a show.”
“More like we do.”
Wilder sets me on my wobbly feet. My heels teeter, but I use him for leverage.
Rough yet gentle fingers glide across my face. “Let me untie you.”
Wilder undoes the knot, and the blindfold falls away. My grandfather’s wood-paneled study comes into view. It’suntouched, as if he didn’t die over thirty years ago. Even his tobacco pipe still rests on the desk. The door is shut.
“So, we’ve been alone this whole time?” I ask, smiling.Knew it.
Wilder laughs as he fixes his clothes. His hair is a lost cause. “Disappointed?”
A little.
“I should get cleaned up,” I say, rubbing the intense wetness between my legs. Ravi is waiting. “You should go back to the party. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Wilder tilts my chin up with two fingers. His jade eyes bore into mine. “Just a sec.”
“Yeah?”
He smiles with a sleepy yet satisfied grin. “You’re perfect.”
“You have to say that to me because I’m going to be your wife,” I joke.
A groove settles between his brows. “Igetto say that because you’ll be my wife.”
I roll my eyes, but my limbs are buzzing. “I should go.”
Wilder’s grip tightens, but it doesn’t hurt. “Are you going to tell me?”
“Tell you what?” I meet his intense stare, dead on.
“Where were you going in such a hurry, Leigh? In the opposite direction of your room, no less.”
He’s fucking impossible. “I— I?—”
Wilder distances himself from me. “I thought we were past this?”
“Past what?” I reach for him, trying to ignore how my heart breaks a little. If I didn’t need to close this portal, I’d spend all night with him like this, naked, just the two of us. But the portal is open, and everyone—including Wilder—is safer not knowing I caused it. Tomorrow will be perfect. We’ll say our vows, kiss,dance, and I won’t let my mistake ruin what I know will be the best day of our lives.
