"I..."Sheswallows hard. "Ididn't know you were watching."

"Isee everything,"Irasp. "Countingevery breath you take is just the beginning.Trackingyour pulse keeps me entirely occupied.Shiftingyour weight fourteen times in the last hour tells me your hip hurts sitting on the concrete.Thegrowl of your stomach twenty minutes ago proves you are hungry, and you keep licking your lips because you need a drink."

Herbreath hitches. "Elias."

"AndIknow,"Isay, leaning down until my nose brushes the shell of her ear, inhaling the grapefruit from her skin mixed with stale coffee. "Iknow you aren't scared of me anymore."

Afull-body tremor vibrates against my chest. "ShouldIbe?" she whispers.

"Yes."Pullingback just enough to look her in the eye allows me to assess her reaction. "Youare locked in a soundproofVaultwith a man who hasn’t slept in days,andIwant to do very bad things to you."

Herchin lifts, jutting forward. "Iam not running from you,Elias.Youprotected me, and you fed me.You’re..."Shesearches for the word. "You’recareful."

Thatsingle word snaps the final thread of my control.

"Iam not careful,"Isnarl against her face. "Iam starving."

Crashingmy mouth down on hers ends the conversation.

Thekiss hits like a brutal collision, a pure demand for access.Devouringher, my lips crush hers, forcing them apart.Shetastes like sugar and raw adrenaline.Aheavy sound vibrates deep in her throat, a whimper aiming straight for my groin.Herhands clutch my shirt, bunching the fabric to pull me impossibly close.

Groaning, the sound vibrates through our joined mouths as the hunger demands more.Mytongue sweeps past her lips, taking ownership of the wet heat inside.Exploringthe ridge of her teeth and the wet slide of her tongue against mine establishes a primal, heavy rhythm.Instincttakes the wheel, snapping my hips forward to grind flush against her clit.

Agasp tears into my mouth as she feels the heavy bulge of my cock straining against my jeans.Rockhard and aching,Ihave been half-hard since she firststood shivering on the highway.

"Elias..."Moaningmy name creates the best soundIhave ever heard, vastly superior to the click of a balanced ledger or the silence of an empty room.

"Sayit again,"Icommand against her lips.

"Elias."

"Mine."Bitingher lower lip,Isoothe the sting with a quick swipe of my tongue. "Youare mine,Mia.Youknow that?"

Herchin jerks in a jagged, desperate nod. "Yes.Yes."

Droppingmy hands from the wall,Igrip the sides of her hips.Herskirt feels soft, some kind of wool blendIbunch in my fists to hike up her thighs.Needingdirect contact with her bare skin,my hands slide under the hem of her cardigan to find the curve of her bare waist.Herflesh burns fever-hot against my calloused palms scraping heavily over her ribs and stomach.Archingher spine, she pushes upward to seek the friction.

"Ifyou need something to bite on while you work,"Iwhisper, moving my lips along her jaw before trailing down the sensitive cord of her neck, "use me."

Avisible tremor rocks her frame. "What?"

Nippingthe soft skin just below her ear leaves a wet mark. "Biteme,Mia.Markme.Putyour teeth on something that can feel it."

Slidingher hands up to my shoulders, she buries her fingers into my hair.Grippingthe short strands tugs my head back, exposing my throat.

"You’recrazy," she breathes.

"Obsessed,"Icorrect. "Thereis a severe difference."

Grabbingher thighs,Ilift her entirely off the ground.Shelets out a sharp gasp as her feet leave the concrete, instinctively wrapping her legs tight around my waist.

Pressingher spine back against the cabinets makes the metal groan under the shift in our combined weight.Mycock presses directly against her wet clit, separated only by her skirt, her panties, and my heavy denim.Rollingmy hips in a slow, grinding circle,Igrind the thick ridge of my cock into her pussy, the friction heat-searing through our layers.Herhead falls back as a ragged cry tears from her throat, her pussy already drenched and pulsing against me.

"Please," she whimpers.

"Pleasewhat?"Igrowl, my teeth nipping the sensitive cord of her neck. "Tellme exactly what you want.Beprecise.Giveme the data."

"Iwant..."Shegasps, her nails digging into my scalp as her walls clench in anticipation. "Iwant you inside me.Iwant you to stretch me wide and fill me to the hilt."
