She smiles, and in this moment, the overwhelming need to own her, kiss her, make her mine in every way consumes me.

“Come here.” My voice is low and ragged as I draw her to her feet, fingers tangled in the back of her hair, pulling her in until my lips graze hers.

“Cillian...” Her breaths are jagged, each one igniting every nerve in my body, as if her very presence is sending shockwaves through me.

The air hums with an undeniable energy, an electric pulse crackling between us.

“Right here, baby,” I groan, crushing my mouth with hers, kissing her with every damn fiber of my being.

My tongue sinks deep into her mouth as I wrap my arms around her hips, lifting her effortlessly. Her legs curl around my waist, pulling me closer. Kneeling with her still clinging to me, I grab the condom from the floor, tearing the wrapper apart with my teeth. With a swift motion, I lift her up my chest, pressing her up against the window as I roll the rubber down my length. She stares at me, her gaze burning with the same desire that courses through my veins.

“I’m gonna take care of you, baby.” Gradually, I sink the tip into her entrance until it stretches around me.

“Oh God.” Her brows knit, her nails clinging to my shoulders, unable to look away as I thrust another inch, my fingers wrapping around her throat.

“Mine. All mine.”

She nods with a moan, and in that moment, I drive all the way inside, a raw, animalistic growl escaping from deep in my chest. Her mouth falls open, a desperate cry caught in her throat.

“You okay?” I manage to ask, even though every part of me aches to fuck her like an animal.

I gently stroke her cheek as she nods.

“Don’t stop.” She circles her hips, her hand reaching for mine to kiss my fingers.

“Fuck.” My teeth grit, and when she kisses me again, I lose control.

My body takes over with raging lust, my hips driving relentlessly, the sound of skin against skin echoing in the air. Our eyes never let go as I take her deeper, this passionate thirst radiating between us until it overflows. Fisting her hair, I kiss her hard, taking her deeper with each stroke until her walls ripple around me.

“That’s it, baby. Let me feel you come.”

Her mouth trembles, her body quaking, her cries of pleasure intensifying until she screams my name as she falls apart. With a rough growl, my hips pounding, I release inside her.

And in this moment, it hits me: she’s all I’ll ever want, this woman who appeared from out of nowhere and turned my world upside-down.

“Where are we going now?”I ask, the curiosity practically eating me alive as I walk beside Cillian, still reeling from our spontaneous lunch date in Little Italy.

“You’ll see.” A tiny, dangerous smirk pulls at the corner of his lips.

His smile is infectious, like a secret only he and I share, and it makes my pulse race in a way I’m trying to ignore. I squeeze his hand a little tighter as we continue down the street.

The throbbing between my thighs reminds me of what we did earlier and how fun it was to be taken like that—roughly and possessively.

“So, where are weactuallygoing, though?” I ask again, my tone teasing, but I can’t help it. The man has a way of keeping me on my toes.

“Patience, love,” he teases, his thumb brushing over the back of my hand as he looks at me with that same playful gleam in his eyes. “I’m not giving it away just yet.”

When we stop in front of a jewelry store, I arch a brow, instantly suspicious.

“Uh, what’s this about?”

“Don’t worry, I’m not proposing. Yet…” He gives me a look that’s half smirk.

I blink, trying to hide the way a rush of heat floods my chest at the thought.
