JESSINA

I tried to get comfortable beside Turk…but my body was wound too tightly and I still ached with need. I had tried once again in the shower to get myself off…and failed once more. For some reason when I reached between my legs to rub myself, it only made my desire worse and worse and I couldn’t get over the edge of orgasm.

This had never been a problem for me before. I might be a sheltered Mafia Princess, but I’d heard the maids talking and giggling together which had stirred my curiosity at an early age. I’d been finding my own pleasure by rubbing the little button all the maids called a “clit” for years now. So why was I suddenly incapable of reaching the peak on my own?

I had no answers and I was completely miserable. The desire inside me wouldn’t die. I kept replaying the kiss over and over in my head—feeling Turk’s hard, muscular body pressing against my own, his cock grinding against my pussy…

Goddess, I had to stop thinking of him like this! I had been determined to keep my distance from the big Brute—it was one reason I’d made a little nest for myself on the floor. But it seemed that Turk wasn’t going to allow me to sleep apart from him—even though I knew I ought to.

I ought to slip out of bed right now and sleep down there, I thought to myself. There’s no way I should be in the same bed with him.

But it was really cold down there. I hadn’t noticed it before, but it was absolutely freezing at the foot of his bed. I’d been shivering so hard my teeth were chattering before he picked me up and put me in bed with him. I didn’t want to go back to the hard, cold floor. Not when I felt so safe and warm beside him.

It will be all right, I told myself uneasily. It can’t hurt just to sleep beside him—to sleep back to back.

If only I had known how wrong I was…
