“You seriously came over here to talk to a stranger about private financial information, and then you have the balls to comment on her work attire?” She raised a brow.

“We’re hardly strangers.” He struggled to hold back a smile and offered his hand. “I don’t think I introduced myself earlier. I’m Colton. Colton Hayes.”

She chuckled and kissed him again.
“How about condoms?”

A woman with violet eyes will signal the beginning and ending of your life.”

“His lips trailed down her neck to her shoulder. She smelled like lavender and musk, and he filled his lungs with her scent. Her nails dug into his shoulders as she drew her legs up around his waist. He never wanted this to end, but his body had other plans, his thrusts coming faster now. But he wasn’t coming alone. He moved his hand between them and toyed with her until she gasped. “Don’t stop!”
