“But you’re not just any man.” Taz told me. “You’retheman.”
Leaning back to look into her eyes, I kissed her as deeply as I could. After unhooking the back of her swimsuit, I reached for the towel lying over the arm of her chair and spread it behind her. Slowly, I laid her back against the deck and feasted my way down her body.
I wasn’t sure how else to show her that everything about her did some marvelous things to me. No other way of showing her how desperately I wanted her, how completely I loved her.
All I could do was please her with my lips, my teeth, me tongue—my entire soul.
Taz came for me while raking her nails down my back.
She came again as the first drops of rain fell from the sky, pattering against my skin and soaking through my hair.
But instead of running inside, I turned her face down against the deck and took her from behind.
“Anurak.” She panted. “Please, deeper.”
“It’s so sexy when you say please, Wãan-jai.” I grunted.
I drove into her—over and over—wanting to imprint myself to her. I wanted to make it, so her body didn’t remember any of her past lovers.
I wanted to ruin her, for any man to come after me.
Biting into my bottom lip, I pulled out of her and rolled her over in the rain. I watched the water fall on her skin only to take her again.
This time she took a handful of my hair and pulled me roughly down to her.
Helplessly, I pulled a wet nipple between my teeth, alternating between grazing it with my teeth and licking while listening to the purring sounds she made.
“I hope that sound is only for me.” I managed. “One more time, Jo—come for me.”
As it rained harder and lightning streaked across the sky, I closed my eyes, waiting for thunder.
The moment the rumble happened, she buried her face into my throat.
This time when she came, I couldn’t control it.
I closed my eyes and allowed her body to be the weakness I always tried to hide.
This woman had me—every part of me.
EPILOGUE
Taz
A year later
“Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!”
Both Storm and I turned at the cheer!
First, I flailed then shoved both firsts in the air.
“Oi! Oi! Oi!” I replied.
Dragging my suitcase after me, I darted across the space, with people staring, and hugged Zoom tightly. Kaos was laughing but yelped as I dove into his arms.
“Hey, big fella!” I greeted him when I stepped back.
Storm caught up to us and after twirling Zoom around, he hugged Kaos before they helped us with our bags to get out of the airport.
