“Why did you do it? Why did you accept that?”

I’d asked myself that over and over for the past five years. I’d become the cliché woman who had everything going for her and let a man take over her future.

“Because I was a stupid idiot and was desperately in love.” I shifted to move away from him so he wouldn’t see the lingering pain I felt, but he held me captive against the counter.

“Do you still love me or did it die over the years?”

“I never stopped loving you. I just couldn’t live with things the way they were.”

“Well, let’s change them.”

“It isn’t that simple.”

“Sure, it is. I’m not going anywhere, Sami.”

I tilted my head up to tell him my doubts, but before I could respond, Dev’s mouth covered mine and anything other than filling my physical needs became a low priority.

The kiss was the way it always was between us, all-consuming and filled with desperate desire. His tongue pushed past my lips and began a dance that made me think of how it felt to have his mouth between my legs.

I craved him as a woman starved.

Threading my fingers through his hair, I pulled him closer to me.

We tasted and savored, trying to sate our need on each other’s lips.

I broke our embrace to grab the bottom of his shirt and pull it over his head.

I nearly swallowed my tongue as I took in his beautiful sculpted abs. Grazing my fingers up his stomach and gliding them to his shoulders, I yanked him back to me.

“Dev. I need you. It’s been so long.”

A sly smile touched his face, and then he covered my lips again, but this time the kiss was possessive as if he was claiming me, consuming me.

“You’re mine, Sami,” he said against my lips. “I won’t let you go. I can’t. You own my soul. I’ll do anything to prove you come first.”

My heart skipped a beat. Devin had never said that to me before. He was always a bit possessive, but he never acknowledged my claim on him.

Dev cupped my breasts through my dress, pinching the hard tips as he continued to devour my mouth.

“More,” I gasped. “I want more. Please, Dev. I need you to fuck me now.”

“Your wish is my command.”

He lifted me onto the counter, bunching my dress around my hips.

I slid my hand between us, pushing his lounge pants down his legs and freeing his beautiful cock.

Dev brought my ass to the edge of the stone and then ripped away my thong, plunging balls-deep into my sopping pussy in a matter of seconds.

We both cried out at the exquisite feel of each other.

He grabbed my hands and placed them on the edge of the stone. “Hold on tight. I don’t want you to fall, and I plan to fuck you so hard that my dick imprints itself inside your pussy.”

He set a relentless pace, and all I could do was enjoy the ride. He was as desperate as I was for release.

What happened earlier was nothing compared to what was building now.

Dev pounded into me, gripping my thighs and pulling me off the counter with only my arms for leverage.
