“You’re as into my idiot brother as he is into you.”
“He treats me well.” Better than well. He treats me like something to be cherished and protected.
Her penetrating brown eyes drag the length of me. They’re hungry. They’re always hungry when they’re on me. I wonder if she realizes how obvious she is. And how much I like it.
could be a dick. And if this were anyone else, I would be a dick.
“You could have anyone you want. Why are you going through all this trouble for me?” There’s a hint of vulnerability in her voice now. “How could I not?” It’s the truth.
“You didn’t think you were in the mood this morning in my garage, did you? And then I put you on your back and had you crying my name in about a minute.”
“You have the sexiest body I’ve ever laid eyes on.” Gabriel takes a long, lingering look at the smooth skin he’s uncovered, as if deciding where he wants to attack first. “I want to put my mouth on every square inch of it.”
Gabriel brushes away damp strands of hair plastered across my forehead with a stroke of his thumb before settling his index finger beneath my chin and urging my gaze to meet his. “Swallow me,” he demands softly, following it with a “please.”
“It’d be worth it just to watch them die from jealousy. You are just …” His words fade as his eyes roam shamelessly. “I can’t believe you’re mine.”
“Every time you scold me, I’m going to do that,” he warns in a seductive purr. “And every time I catch another man eyeing you, I’m going to do this, so they know you’re mine.” Reaching around to grip my ass, he yanks me forward, pulling me flush to his body, his hard length pressed against my waist. “You’re crazy.” I take a moment to catch my breath.

Part of me wants to sit here until sunrise, until this image is emblazoned so deep in my head that fifty years from now I’ll be jerking my geriatric dick off to the memory. “You have no idea what you do to me, do you?” My voice is full of awe.
“You’re paying me to fuck you. What else do you want?” “Your heart,” he blurts out and then frowns, as if he just surprised himself. But he doesn’t backpedal. He doesn’t say anything. He simply stares at me.
Yeah … I’m beginning to see why someone might want to tie themselves down to one woman for life.
“Study hard,” I whisper, leaning down to press my lips against her forehead. I feel her gaze on my back the entire way. Look at me, being all unselfish. Caleb’s right. I’m falling for this woman, and I’m falling hard.
It’s the most he’s ever divulged, the closest he’s ever admitted to being tied to the drug trade. “Why are you telling me this?” “Isn’t it obvious, Mercy?” His deep blue eyes are oddly bright. “Because you were the final push for me. I want to be better for you. I want to deserve you.”
