I kiss him back just as hard, nipping his lower lip, and tugging his hair until he groans into my mouth. His hand slides down my body and hooks under my thigh, dragging it up around his waist. When he presses himself against me, I feel exactly how hard he is.
My skin prickles with anticipation because I think if I don’t have him inside me right now, I might scream.
“Beckett—”
I’m about to beg when he lifts me and lowers me onto thebed. My back hits the cool sheets, but my skin still hums with adrenaline. My legs fall open instinctively because I want him to claim me. But he doesn’t. Not yet.
His eyes flick toward my nightstand. Then he reaches over me, the muscles in his arm flexing as he tugs the drawer open.
“What are—”
He pauses, his hand stilling for a second before he pulls something out.
A condom.
He arches a brow. “This isn’t what I was looking for, but thank Christ you’re a smart woman.”
We’re too caught up in whatever the hell is happening, we almost forgot.
I’ve never wanted someone so badly that I almost skipped protection.
What the hell is wrong with you, Madison?
I manage a shaky, defiant smile, even as my skin hums with need. “You can never be too careful.”
After putting on the condom, he reaches back into the drawer.
I frown. “What are you doing?”
“Looking for my teammate.”.
I blink, completely thrown. “Your what?”
When he straightens, he’s holding something in his palm.
It takes a moment for my eyes to adjust.
Oh, fuck.
It’s the rose.
My eyes widen. “You’re joking.”
He cocks a brow and presses the power button. The vibration springs to life with that vicious hum that rattled my floorboards earlier.
Our eyes meet.
He doesn’t smile, but there’s a flicker of dark amusement in his voice. “Violent little thing, isn’t it?”
Despite the situation, my mouth twitches. “You have no idea.”
He lowers the intensity until the hum fades to a rhythmic thrum.
“Lower setting?” he asks.
I nod, my breath catching in my throat. “Yes, please.”
He settles between my thighs with agonizing slowness, and my skin prickles wherever he touches. His knees nudge mine wider, and his jaw briefly scrapes along my neck as he kisses the sensitive skin just below my ear.
