“Is that the only part of me you like?”

She shakes her head. “No. But so far, this is the only place you’ve let me have a real orgasm in private.”

Orion huffs out a laugh as he rolls his hips, the motion pressing his thickness right to my still-sensitive G-spot. I’m beginning to think I might have to clean up my act if his idea of punishment is ruined orgasms. The denial I can deal with. Hell, I’d go as far as to say I enjoy it. But I’m going to have nightmares about the way my poor pussy clenched around nothing, desperate for the pleasure that should have come right alongside the release.

“Maybe that’s a new rule,” he murmurs. “The only place you’re allowed to come is on my dick.”

“You wouldn’t.” I glare up at him.

He shifts his weight to one elbow before moving his hand to bracket my throat, pressing with just enough pressure that my pussy clenches around him. “I think you’ll find I absolutely would, and you’d fucking love it.”

His thrusts increase in speed, and the orgasm that was so harshly stolen from me begins to build again.

“Please don’t ruin it again,” I plead.

He stares down at me for long seconds, his hips rocking into mine in rough strokes. “I won’t, Little Flame. You can come whenever you’re ready. I want to feel you milk my cock so I can fill you up with my cum.”

“Fuck.” My eyes slip shut at his filthy words.

“Eyes on me, Ember,” Orion demands, and I’m following the command before I make the conscious decision to. My body is desperate for his approval, even as my mind tries to make sense of how natural everything feels with him. “Good girl.” He dips his head and brushes his lips against mine in a kiss that feels entirely too intimate as he picks up his pace, slamming into me as he chases his own release.

My orgasm wraps around me slowly, much slower than I expected, considering how keyed up I am. But as it hits, my breath tears from my lungs, and I gasp. My vision blurs around me as pleasure so fucking strong it’s like I’m drowning in it rolls through me.

I’m vaguely aware of Orion’s groans as his hot cum fills me, but I’m too caught up in what feels like the never-ending release.

“Good girl,” Orion murmurs against the shell of my ear. “Such a good girl.”

The praise only seems to prolong my pleasure, even as his thrusts slow, until I’m nothing more than a puddle of boneless exhaustion.

“Jesus,” I murmur, my eyes falling closed. I’ve never been able to fall asleep after an orgasm, always finding it gives me too much energy. But that wasn’t an orgasm, at least not like any I’ve ever had before, and my body is taking matters into its own proverbial hands.

He chuckles and carefully rolls us until I’m settled on his chest with his softening cock inside me. Part of me wants to protest, to run to the bathroom just so I can have a few moments to myself, but I’m not ready to be separated from him yet.

And that’s when it occurs to me that I’ve allowed myself to rely on someone again. I’ve given my mind, body, and soul to Orion, which means he has the ability to break me.

I did the one thing I promised myself I wouldn’t.

I fell in love, and that startling reality makes it hard to breathe.

CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE

ORION

“This better be fucking good,” I snap as I cross the lobby of my apartment building to where Killian is waiting.

Normally, he wouldn’t hesitate to come up to the apartment, but he probably realizes that if he accidentally sees Ember naked, I’ll end him, even if he is the best second in charge I could ever hope to have by my side.

“I know who trashed Ember’s apartment,” he says, nodding toward the street where his car is idling. “And I know where he is right now if you want to go take care of the problem.”

It’s five in the morning, but there are a few people milling around the street on their morning run or getting coffee before starting their day. Normally, I prefer to keep the killing to the dead of night, but perhaps I can make an exception this one time.

“Who?”

“Lucas.”

I stare at him for long seconds, and a lesser man would likely flinch as the rage overwhelms me. That fucking asshole. I knew he wanted her. He always did. And her fucking brother wasgoing to make it happen too before I stopped any fucked-up deal before it could be made.

Travis was going to trade Ember for what remained on his debt to Lucas, and then he was going to high-tail it out of here before his sister could find out.
