“True.” I sit down next to him, lay my head on his shoulder. “Thank you again.”

“Any man with an ounce of decency would have offered you a place to stay.” He turns toward me, lifts my chin.

“If only every man were as decent as you,” I mutter.

He chuckles lightly. “I’m glad they aren’t.”

Then with a tip of my chin, he brings my lips to his.

AUS

This is wrong. I shouldn’t be kissing Thea right now. Her whole life is crashing down around her. She’s vulnerable, and if I sleep with her, she’ll think I’m taking advantage of her.

I break my lips from hers.

Her eyes flutter open. “Why?”

“Why what?”

“Why did you stop kissing me?”

I sit back on the couch. “The last thing you need right now is some guy you barely know kissing you.”

Her irises flare. “That’s exactly what I need right now. I need you to kiss me, to take me away from this horrible night.”

“Are you sure?”

“I’ve never been surer of anything.” She crushes her lips to mine.

I open my mouth, and our tongues tangle. I reach my arm around her back, squeezing her tightly to me. We stay there for a moment, our bodies woven together in need and hunger, but it’s not long before her hands wander to the buttons on my shirt. She slowly works her way down and slides the fabric off my shoulders, exposing my chest. She slides her fingers over my nipples as we kiss and kiss and kiss, and it feels so fucking good.

I grab the zipper at the back of her dress and bring it down, revealing her perfect breasts.

“No bra,” I growl as I pinch her nipples.

She grins and our teeth collide gently. “No underwear either.”

Fuck.

I’m hard.

And she knows it. She’s fiddling with the buckle of my belt. Once she gets it undone, she whips it off my hips in one fluid motion.

In a flash, she’s removed the rest of her gown and my own pants and briefs are around my ankles. She swings her legs over me and slides down onto my dick.

Sweet Jesus, is her pussy glorious. Glorious and tight as fuck.

My first instinct is to be gentle, but then I remember her words. Take me away from this horrible night.

Gentle isn’t what Thea needs right now. She needs me to fuck the demons from this night out of her.

And there’s nothing gentle about an exorcism.

I pump my dick into her quickly, and she arches her spine backwards as she moans.

“Yes, Aus. Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck…me!” She lets out a scream as she flies over the cliff.
