His forehead hit the door and he froze to savor her touch. Chills ran across his chest. His nipples drew into tight buds. The breath he’d thought to release locked in his lungs.

All his blood fled south, and his thoughts tangled between his need to stop her and his desire to make sure she didn’t.

Her hands traveled his spine before reaching around to the front. Deft fingers made short work of his shirt, then slid down lower. She caressed him through his pants.

He trembled at the fire that rushed the length of his body. God help him. He’d never felt like this before.

Never been touched by a woman whose thoughts weren’t overriding his.

Grasping her hands, he pulled them away from him. “If you don’t stop, we’ll both be disappointed.”

She snorted at those words. “I’ve already had my fun, punk’n.”

Her humor was infectious. “In that case . . .” Hadrian released her hands long enough to sweep her into his arms.

He carried her to the bed, then lowered her toward the mattress.

“Thank you for not groaning when you picked me up.”

“What?”

She nuzzled his cheek. “Nothing kills a woman’s desire faster than the sound of her lover groaning from her weight. You made me feel weightless. Thank you.”

He laughed until her body slid along his, every inch inciting a fire he wanted to bathe inside.

A fire that was stoked when Jayne began to slowly undo her clothes. Dumbfounded and overwhelmed, he couldn’t do anything other than watch.

Damn . . .

She was the sexiest thing he’d ever seen.

And she seemed to enjoy him watching her.

Unlike her, he didn’t want to waste time. Using his powers, he disrobed immediately.

Grinning, Jayne nodded. “Nice.”

“Naughty,” he contradicted as he lifted one leg to the bed and almost knocked her over.

She steadied herself as he brought himself up against her.

Unable to believe her beauty, he cupped her ass and brought her to his mouth.

The first taste was all woman. The salty aftertaste was the rarest flavor. He glanced up to see her eyes closed, one hand on her breast and the other clutched in his hair.

Sensing her rising desire, he laid her back on the bed. Her nails scraped his scalp and drove a long shudder along his spine.

Jayne closed her eyes as she again felt that surging throughout her entire body. “How can you do that?”

He smiled down at her. “Another gift.”

Biting her lip, she freed his hair from its band so that it fell over his shoulders. “You are gorgeous.”

He’d never really felt that way, but he was willing to accept it from her. Especially as she writhed beneath him.

Unable to stand it, he parted her thighs.

This time, it was she who cuppedhisass and pulled him closer. She reached between them until she touched his hard shaft.
