Noah didn’t even think twice about making plans to change that. Curbing the need to stamp his possession over her one more time, he picked up a sponge and rubbed it over her shoulders. “So you kept a low profile…”
“Yes, but there were cops, and lawyers, and media when it happened. Every now and then someone tries to revive the story. I just want to warn you?—”
He tilted her chin. “You’re worried about me?”
“You need to know that it will most probably rear its head.”
He thought of the carnage he’d left behind in New York. Something he’d have to tell her when she wasn’t so traumatized from rehashing the past. “Sweetheart, I’ve lived through worse. You have no reason to worry about me.” Leaning forward, he kissed her. “But I’m glad you are.”
Her mouth opened beneath his, and he deepened the kiss. When she groaned, he dropped the sponge and cupped her breasts. Short flicks of his thumb across her hard peaks earned him a beautiful gasp.
She turned fully and straddled him. Fire lashed through his veins. He slid his hand lower between her legs and found her wet and hot.
Noah sent up a prayer of thanks that what had happened to her hadn’t dimmed her sexuality one little bit. It had, understandably, warped her ability to trust, and his jawclenched as he wished her violator were alive so he could slowly squeeze the life out of him.
She arched into his touch, fucking the fingers he inserted into her.
“God, you’re so soft. So generous with your body.” And the fact that she loved what he did to her… That just blew his mind.
His cock grew hard against her ass. She felt it and whimpered.
“I need you, Noah.”
“How?”
She pulled back and licked her trembling lips. “Hard and fast. Ravage me. Please.”
Whatever she wanted, he would give. “Brace your hand on the edge, baby.”
He lifted one thigh and plunged into her tight sheath. His other hand fisted a handful of hair, and he bit her shoulder.
She screamed even as her pussy grew hotter around his cock. She angled her hips, pushed her groin into his as he slammed into her.
“Yes, Noah!”
Her hands flew to her breasts, tugging at her nipples as he invaded her slick channel. He released her shoulder so he could watch her torture her stiff nubs.
“God, baby. I love it when you do that.”
She leaned in closer. “Bite me again,” she groaned.
He caught her skin between his teeth and ravaged the tender flesh. Her moans grew louder, her hips circling as she worked herself into a frenzy.
“Ah, that feels so good.”
“I know. And it’s about to feel even better.”
He stroked into her fast and steady, his cock pushing all the way in with each thrust. Her mouth dropped open, sucking in desperate air as her eyes slid shut.
Pleasure poured over her face, and his heart stopped.
Letting go of her thigh, he drew her to him. “We came on this trip with uncomplicated sex in mind. I was such an ass to you that first hour. You could so very easily have walked away. Now I can’t imagine being here with anyone but you. I want to be everything you need, fulfill your every craving, slay your every fear. Say you’ll let me.”
He rolled his hips, and her eyelids quivered. “Yes, Noah… I’ll let you.”
Light flared through his chest. His every sense shook as he grappled with what was happening to him. He was unraveling, spiraling out of control with someone with as much baggage as he had.
And he didn’t care.
