Her lips felt like they belonged to me. It was the version of heaven I always wanted to be in.

I tried to pull away, but she clutched my head tighter, pulling me right back in.

Silently, I prayed for control…for time. Anything to keep from unraveling first.

God must’ve heard me, because moments later, I was buried in an intense warmth that nearly broke me.

“Oh fuck!” I shouted to the ceiling, thrusting harder and faster, until finally I burst.

“Yes, Shade, yes!” she cried, throwing her ass back like she needed every last stroke.

I felt like I was pouring out everything. Like I was giving her all I had, and she was still begging for more.

Finally, when there was nothing left for either of us to give, we stayed locked together, breath shallow. Her hand curled around my thigh, like she couldn’t bear the thought of me pulling away.

Smiling, I pressed a soft kiss against her cheek. “As much as I would love to, I can’t stay in your pussy forever, baby.”

“Why not?”

“Because we have people waiting outside,andI’m pretty sure your PH Balance wouldn’t like it.”

She scoffed, then dropped her hand.

Now, it was my turn to move. But I couldn’t.

The way her walls gripped my dick felt too damn good.

“Thank you for fucking me the way you did,” she whispered.

“Anytime.” I pulled out slowly, grabbing for my towel before temptation dragged me back in for round two.

Bare and unbothered, Nyx turned and looked at me. “Do it again.”

I failed, and I failed miserably.

I wasn’t supposed to sleep with Shade, and I damn sure wasn’t supposed to do it more than once. But I couldn’t help it. I wanted him, and one time just wasn’t enough.

After going for round two on the couch, we finally told Trace to send the massage therapists home and any other staff that was still lurking around. Nothing else was happening besides what we were doing, which went off and on for the rest of the night, and a few more times this morning.

Now, I was sitting in the backseat of the black Mercedes he’d gotten me, thinking about him. Truth be told, I didn’t want to leave. But it was my dad’s big day, and it was probably a good idea to break away from Shade for a few hours. I needed to hit the reset button, and I needed to put my boundaries back in place.

Before I left, Shade and I had a long talk. I told him that none of what we did could happen again because I was in no position to be with anyone like that. My emotions were all over the place.

He agreed. Well, he didn’t actually agree. He just told me that he would do whatever I wanted to do, which wasn’t really helpful since fucking him seemed to be at the top of my list.

I needed to take my ass back home.

There was no way I would be able to spend another two days under his roof and not let him dick me down. It just wasn’t possible. Then again, maybe that’s exactly what I should do. Instead of a mini vacation, I could just call it a dickcation.

I bit down on my bottom lip, savoring the memory of Shade’s big, brown?—

“Ma’am, we’ve arrived.”

“Huh?” I blinked, snapping my gaze toward my driver as he held the car door open. “Oh, okay. Thank you.”
