“Good.”
Xavier sank to his knees and pushed my knees wider, granting him an unfettered view of my soaked arousal. His eyes gleamed up at me, dark and bright as volcanic glass.

The firestorm inside me finally erupted, and this time, I heard my cry before a hand clamped over my mouth, muffling my scream. My orgasm was so intense that I disintegrated immediately, bits and pieces of me falling, floating, burning until the smoke cleared, and a hazy shadow of my senses returned. The hand over my mouth dropped, replaced by a punishing kiss. I tasted my arousal, and my nipples tightened again like I hadn’t just come so hard, I couldn’t breathe properly.
“That was a preview. The next time you doubt how much I want you…”
Xavier drew my bottom lip between his teeth and nipped. The sting traveled straight to the emptine...

My fear didn’t stem from what he was about to do to me; it came from how much I wanted it.
“Hold on to the desk.”
I loved the sounds of his pleasure. I loved the way I felt right then, helpless and ravished yet so very safe.
What I’d done—what we’d done—was so out of character for me that I couldn’t quite wrap my head around it.
Xavier was the only person who could make me forget about my rules and like it. It was disturbing.

“You look good bent over your desk, Luna. Especially when your pussy is dripping with my—”

Talking to Xavier was like talking to one of my best friends. I didn’t have to scrounge for topics or worry he’d take something I said the wrong way. He understood me, and as our conversation wound from food, film, and music to travel, I relaxed to the point where I forgot about everything outside this moment.
“It’s never too late for change. If you’re unhappy with the road you’re traveling, you can choose a new one at any time.”
The truth always comes out when our inhibitions come down.”
I had a shitty family, but I couldn’t imagine a parent saying that to their child. Xavier had been ten. He’d been just a kid.

I’d written many film reviews excoriating the cheesy power move of throwing a drink in a guy’s face, but as I hailed a cab to go home, I concluded I’d been wrong. The move may be cliché, but it was damn satisfying. Sometimes, the rom-coms got it right.
A brief, humorless smile flicked into existence at my dark humor. Coping mechanisms were coping mechanisms, no matter how morbid.
“We’re consenting adults. What we do in our free time is our business,
“She’s not just any woman. She’s…” Everything.
You can hold on to your grudge forever and let it consume you, or you can put the past where it belongs and move forward.”
“Are we still on for Dante and Viv’s party this weekend?”
“I wouldn’t miss it for the world.”
“Isa, love, stop talking to Sloane behind my back,”
