Her breath turns ragged as she fights the urge to hurry and chase. I kiss her hard and deep, stealing her sounds and swallowing them. Driving into her harder. Faster.
Until she unravels beneath me, breaking into tiny pieces. She shudders against my body, trembling, her eyes wide and wet.
I keep going until I’m right there with her, my control finally snapping and I explode.
Dropping my forehead to hers, I kiss her soft and slow on the lips.
“Fuck — Sunshine.” I swallow hard, still breathless.
She answers with a satisfied moan and a sweet smile and I know I’m never going to be the one in control with her.
CHAPTER 27
TORI
That was the hottest sex I’ve ever had in my whole damn life.
The stuff fantasies are made of.
Except Bennett Steele is very, very real.
And I let him control me — dominate me — working my body with the same ferocity he shows on the ice.
He’s collapsed on the bed next to me, his strong fingers tracing light, lazy circles on my arm. The only sound in the room is our shallow breathing.
“I should go.” My voice comes out a raspy whisper, cheeks heating as I come down from the sex-fueled high.
“Sunshine—” He grabs my hand, pulling me over onto his strong chest. We’re face-to-face and he strokes my cheek with his calloused thumb, sending another quivering wave through me.
This man’s going to undo me.
“That was fucking hot.” His mouth tips up in a slow grin and he kisses me hard. Deliberate. Nipping at myswollen lower lip, every nerve ending in my body still on fire.
“Nice line, Steele.”
He pulls away slightly, brushes the hair from my eyes. “Gimme some credit here. My lines are more original than that.”
I half-snicker, half-laugh, and he kisses me again, gentler this time.
“Thanks for losing control with me.”
So honest, so sincere.
So dangerous.
“Don’t tell anyone. You’ll ruin my reputation.”
He chuckles, cupping my face and pressing his lips to mine.
“Your secret’s safe with me, Sunshine.”
And I actually believe him.
“Seriously, I have to go. You need sleep.”
“Fine. I suppose I’ll let you sneak out.” He squeezes my bare ass, giving one cheek a light smack.
Reluctantly, I peel away from him and get dressed, shimmying into my panties and bra. Bennett leans back on the pillows, arms behind his head, watching me throw on my shirt and zip up my skirt.
