Whenever I’m on my phone or when I’m not with her, I’m working. I didn’t become successful by doing the minimum. I work hard and I hope with my future, I can play harder.

Being able to pay her parents’ mortgage or her rent for a year is nothing but small change to me. To them, it’s a life raft.

If I wasn’t already falling for Nova, this is proof.

“I need you, Nova.”

“I need you too.”

“Get on the bed,” I command, grabbing a condom and rolling it on.

She blinks at me but doesn’t waste another second before she climbs on my bed, lying back on her elbows and waiting for me.

“Fuck. The way you look at me kills me. You make it so hard to concentrate. I should punish you.”

She gives me a wicked-as-sin smile. “Do your best.”

Chapter 29

Nova

I stride over to the bed. My gaze drops over his toned chest before meeting his eyes. He crawls up over me, and I swear I can’t breathe.

“I hope you’re ready because I’m about to bury myself deep inside you.”

“Please,” I moan.

He reaches between us and grabs my top, lifting it up until I whip it off and toss it across the room.

His fingers trace from my neck, over my beating pulse, down to my chest and over my ribs. I shiver. My whole body erupts in goosebumps.

He’s going to make a mess of me. It’s written on his face. I’m already welcoming the way he’ll destroy me.

His mouth moves to my shoulder where he nips all the way up until my neck meets my ear.

“You taste so sweet.”

He nips me one last time before he moves his mouth to my breast.

He bites my nipple and I cry out, “Ah.”

I’m arching into his mouth because I want more. He doesn’t give it to me though, He looks up with a crooked smile.

“You will get what you’ve given.”

I exhale a shaky breath and nod.

He moves his mouth to my other nipple, biting it hard.

I whimper at the hard bite. My center is achy and wet.

He laps up the bite with a lick of his tongue.

The contrast is too much. “Please,” I beg.

“You want more?”

“Yes.”
