My hand slides gently beneath her jaw, my thumb brushing the curve of her cheek before I cup the side of her face.

She gives me a tender look that disarms me.

My thumb moves slowly across her bottom lip.

I slip my other arm around her waist, draw her toward me and she comes willingly.

“Stephen...” she whispers my name, and fuck, I don’t think I’ll ever get used to the way it sounds on her lips. Like it belongs there. Like I do.

I grab her waits and lean closer until our foreheads touch. Then our noses brush, and I tilt my head to press a soft kiss to the tip of hers.

It makes her smile.

And just like that, I’m fucking ruined.

“Fuck, baby, you’re my undoing,” I murmur, gripping her waist.

Her sweet smile transforms into a sexy as fuck grin.

“Am I?”she whispers, her fingers playing with the hairs at the back of my neck.

Shit.

She’s hot as fuck right now while she’s looking at me like she wants to eat me alive. I do, too.

So that’s what I do.

I close the distance between us by taking her lips in mine and sucking the bottom one until she moans.

The little moan is what does it.

I lose every ounce of restraint I’ve been clinging to.

Like a beast that’s been starving for far too long, I scoop her into my arms, earning a soft, startled intake of breath at the sudden movement. I carry her toward the floor-to-ceiling glass walls overlooking the garden, where the moon hangs high in the night sky and a blanket of snow glistens beneath its silver glow. I want to fuck her there, framed by the moonlight and the snow, as I claim the fuck out of her with the moon and stars as our only witness.

“I need to fuck you, baby,” I whisper as trap her body between my body and the cold glass.

“Stephen…” she breathes, tugging me closer by the chain around my neck.

“That’s all I ever think about.”

“You do?”

I grin and bite her lower lip making her moan a little louder now.

“Fuck, yes.” I grip her thick thigh tighter, loving the feel of her against me. “I think about shoving my dick so deep inside you that all you’ll feel for days is me.”

Her chest rises and falls faster now. “What else?”

My princess is kinky as hell. Fuck, yes.

In one swift move, I lower her gently to her feet, earning a soft, dissatisfied little sound from her. I take a step back, a teasing grin tugging at the corner of my mouth as I watch her reaction.

“What—”

I cut her off, ripping open the oversized shirt she’s wearing and exposing her to my hungry gaze..

I groan like a sick fuck when I see her breasts bounce the moment they’re no longer held by the thin fabric.
