“Sex god.That’s what I thought you were the moment I saw you.”
He felt his grin widen.“And I thought you were going to leave before I got the chance to get my mouth on that juicy cunt of yours.”
Her husky laugh made him harder.“You thought I would leave?”
“You stood in that goddamn doorway for so long, I thought you’d turned into a statue.Then you walked in and Johnny Boy Band got his horn-dog eyes on you.I wanted to smash his teeth in.”
“Jax is a sweet guy.”
An unpleasant feeling threatened to ruin his mood.“He wanted to fuck you.I wanted to smash his face in.”
Her smile dimmed a little, and he realized he’d nearly growled his response.But he didn’t take it back.The parts of himself he could reveal to Bethany needed to be revealed up close and immediately.He didn’t want there to be any misapprehension when it came to what he wanted.
“Does that worry you?”he asked, holding his breath for her answer.
“I don’t know.No one’s felt that way about me before.”Again, pain shadowed her eyes.
Again, he fought back his curse.“I feel that way about you now.I’m insanely possessive about you.The thought of any other guy getting close to this”—he pulled back to gaze over the perfection of her body—“makes me insane.”
“We’ve known each other barely two days, Zach.”
“I knew how I felt before I even saw your face.”
Her breath fractured.“What… what are you saying?”
“That I don’t know what the hell this is.But no other guy is going to come near you while we figure it out.”
“And how exactly are we going to figure it out?I don’t even know where you live or if I’ll see you again once this trip is over.”
“You’ll see me.That I can promise you.”
Questions filled her eyes.Questions he wasn’t ready to answer because he hadn’t figured out the answers yet.And especially when his cock was fired up strongly enough to hammer nails.Tugging her after him, he resumed his journey down the hallway.
Her fingers jerked in his when they entered the bathroom.He glanced at her to find her eyes riveted on the wide bath, her features pale.
“What is it?”
“I don’t do bathtubs…”
Zach tugged her close and drifted his mouth over her jaw and neck.“For what I have in mind, the shower is better.”
He felt her relief and pulled back.“What exactly do you have against bathtubs?”
She shook her head, her hands sliding up his chest as she leaned in closer.“I don’t want to talk about it right now, if you don’t mind?”
“I do mind.But I’ll let you distract me with those delicious nipples you’re rubbing against my chest.”
He walked backward with her into the immense shower, programmed the temperature settings on the electronic panel and turned on the large square showerhead.Six jets spewed warm water into the space where he directed them.He glanced over to the wide bench on the far side of the shower enclosure and dismissed it.
That would come later.For now, he had a more urgent wish.
“I’ve frisked that tight, plump ass of yours.I’ve held it as I fucked you on the sofa.But I haven’t actually seen it naked yet.So, Bethany Green, how about you turn around and show me that hot little ass of yours, huh?”
* * *
“There’s nothing little about it,” Bethany replied, the old insecurity about her ass rising to the fore, despite the hungry heat in Zach’s eyes.“It’s ridiculously large.”
“Show me.”His hand drifted to his cock and grasped it.Bethany watched, mesmerized as he caressed it lazily, his tongue darting out to touch his lower lip.
