Her fingers delved between her thighs, parting her folds. Her breath came as a sharp inhale and her legs twitched before tensing. I watched as her thumb circled her hardened nub, pinching and rolling it between her fingers. Her arousal dripped onto the white cu...

she breathed. Julianna slid a single digit inside her core; her back arched and her lips parted with a tiniest whimper. Goddamn it. She wa...

I should have been smarter than my body’s urges. I should have been more in control of my impulses – but my cock throbbed and I was just a goner. My fists clenched as she fingered herself, her moans spilling past her red lips. The musky scent of her arousal was now heavy in the room and I practically ripped my shirt off my body. Her gaze lingered on my chest and I watched as her hips started to move in rhythm with her finger, chasing her release. Her back bowed and she threw her head back, on the precipice of orgasm.

“Stop,”

I hissed. She whimpered, her b...

I surged forward, the table screeching back, and I heard the whiskey bottle crashing onto the floor. But I didn’t care. Julianna yelped when my arm curled around her waist, pulling her up. Her hands slammed into my chest in surprise, her wet fingers splaying over my pecs. Smearing my bare skin with her sweet fucking juices. I dumped Julianna on the bed and she bounced with a gasp. She swallowed hard and looked at me with those grey eyes I loathed so much. Her hands came up and she covered her chest, as if to hide her nakedness from me. So v...

“Kill...

My jaw clenched at the sound of my name ...

“Turn around. On your hands ...

I snapped. Angry at her ugly deception. Furious at myself for feeling something at the sight of her naked and flushed body, needy and so goddamn… beautiful, like the temptress she was. It wasn’t fair that Julianna ...

“...

I clipped, my voice hoarse. Flustered, she scrambled to her hands and knees. She was still somewhat in a needy trance after I had denied her the orgasm she had been so desperately chasing. I didn’t want to look at Julianna when I was fucking her, didn’t want to look in the eyes that haunted me. I was merely doing my husbandly duty. There would be no pleasure from this. Not for her. Not for me. Our intimacy started and ended with this. A simple fuck. Once she was on her knees on the edge of the bed, and against my own accord, I took a single second to appreciate the elegant curve of her back and her round ass. With a growl, I unzipped myself and pushed down my pants, freeing my hardened length. I fisted myself, squeezing my erection from the tip to the base. I lowered my body atop of hers, rubbing my shaft against her wet folds. Her back arched and I curled an arm around her hips, holding her still before I pushed inside – with one forceful thrust, I we...

I hissed. She was as tight as a fist and her core pulsated around my length. My heart thudded. Her fingers clawed at the bedsheet...

I pulled out, almost completely – leaving only the tip inside her before slamming back into her tight channel. Her body trembled, gooseflesh peppering her back and she whimpered. I liked the sounds she made. Like she was fighting pain and pleasure, craving both – needing both. I pumped into her again, each thrust harder and deeper than the one before. I quickly found my stride and she rocked her hips back to meet mine. The wet sounds of our bodies slamming together filled the room, echoing against the walls. She pressed her face into the mattress, muffling her needy whimpers and moans of pleasure. A groan vibrated from my chest as I plunged inside again, feeling the way she clenched around me. My balls tightened and I knew I was close. Her wetness, hot and sticky, dripped between our joined bodies. With a grunt, I drove into her hard and stayed rooted there, the tip of my hardness brushing against her womb. The muscles in my stomach and thighs tightened as I came, my seed pouring into her. My heart pounded in my ears, loudly. I shuddered as my orgasm rattled through my body. Julianna quivered under me, a moan spilling from her lips. Her body tightened and there was a rush of wet...

I rasped, my voice gruff and confused. The room swayed under my feet. She rolled over and dragged the be...

“I – you… Are w...

I stumbled back, suddenly feeling sick. My blood pounded in my ears and my vision blurred. My throat became dry and when I tried to breathe, my lungs tightened, ...

“Kill...

Her soft voice sounded far away. Julianna sat up, wincing, but she reached out for me. I stumbled back, knocking into the chair before I rushed into her adjoined bathroom, slamming the door closed behind me. Frantic, I opened the tap and splashed water on my face. The pressure on my chest grew heavier as I stared at the man in the reflection, barely recognizing him. My eyes darted to my semi-hard length, stained with blood, an...

“What is your favorite color then?”

“Red,”

“Why red?”

“Red is the color of extremes, Princess. It’s many things. Violen...

“Longing. Seduction. Lust.”

“Fear can be both adaptive and maladaptive. It can be deceiving, once it holds you captive. You just have to learn how to break free.”

“Are you flustered, Princess?”

Our eyes locked and he licked his lips, deliberately slow and enticing.

“Hmm, soft and sweet. The way I like it.”

baby.

“Perfect, baby,”

My fingers gripped the collar of his shirt and I pulled him to me, slamming my lips against his. I gasped and he groaned. The deep rumble resonated through my body. His lips were full and soft. He tasted of mint, rich chocolate and sin. My heart dipped into my stomach and my head swam. We stayed like this for a second, both of us surprised by my impulsive action. One heartbeat. Thud. Two heartbeats. Thud. Thud. His scent surrounded me; his taste engulfed me. Killian nipped my lower lips, teasingly. The gentle bite stung and I whimpered. My eyes fluttered closed as Killian lowered his body atop of mine, pushing me back into the hay. He clutched the back of my neck as he deepened the kiss, fiercely and almost obsessively. As if he had hungered for me for a decade. Like he had been dying to do just that for the longest time. To kiss me. To devour me. He licked the seams of my lips and I gasped, which opened my mouth for him. His tongue slid inside, tasting me. I burned for him, my body melting into his solid strength, and I was weak and powerless. A woman full of need. I craved Killian Spencer. I had never been kissed before and had nothing to compare to this moment – but this kiss, it was everything. His lips on mine. His body against mine. His need reflecting my own. Killian swallowed my moan and breathed into my mouth, feeding me his taste. It wasn’t just a nest of butterflies in my stomach. It was the whole damn zoo, while my heart was torn. My body was no longer my own a...

he licked his lips, deliberately slow, as if to taste the remnant of our kiss.
