And he knew without a doubt she wouldn’t hesitate to retaliate.

He squeezed the base of his cock, forcing himself not to come at that thought. This wild, wonderful woman had been able to wrap both him and Maxwell around her little finger, but he didn’t regret it.

Jackson’s heart had broken into pieces in the guest room, and he’d felt his soul shatter when she had used the rage inside her to break free of the bonds that he’d tried to put around her. He was a soldier, too. How could he have not seen the same pain and anguish in her that he’d experienced himself? That was partly why he held himself under such tight control.

Survival, she’d said. That was something he understood.

Watching her break had destroyed him in a way he’d never thought possible. Her pain had become his own. And knowing that he had been responsible for pushing her to react so violently was something he would never forgive himself for. But watching her now, so lively and playful made his heart ache in a different way.

This is how he always wanted to see her.

In his bed.

In his life.

Maxwell let out a laughing curse as she evaded him again. Then, he hissed out a breath when she took advantage of their bare skin and stroked his rock-hard shaft with her hand before she moved out of his reach again. Violent lust vibrated through him, making him a volcano ready to explode.

She was making him work for it, and he was loving every second. She wanted him to prove how much he wanted her, and he gladly would.

“Fuck! You little hellcat, I swear to god, you are going to pay for this.”

“Promises, promises,” she taunted.

Maxwell reached for her again, and this time she let him catch her. They came together, both of them on their knees, teeth clicking as their mouths met in a brutal kiss. He used his strength to flip her over onto her back, coming down on top of her as she let out a wild laugh.

God, he loved her like this.

Wild, wanton, and vibrating with energy. Touching her was like grabbing hold of a live wire. If she needed a pleasurable escape to recover from her emotional explosion earlier, then he was ready and willing to help her.

His body was on fire for her, but it wasn’t just that he wanted her. He needed her. Patience gone, his control simply snapped. He hoped to hell she was ready because he couldn’t wait any longer. He used his own legs to part her strong thighs and shoved his rock-hard aching cock deep inside her with one fierce thrust.

Breathing heavy, Maxwell stayed completely still. “Ready, love?”

“God, yes!” she gasped. “Don’t stop!”

“Hold on, Kat. This is going to be hard and fast.”

He yanked her hands overhead, weaving their fingers together as he kissed her again. Not holding back, Maxwell began fucking her with the full power of his strong body. Hips pumping like a steam engine, he thrust into her tight pussy over and over again, giving them both exactly what they needed.

“You like that, my little wildcat? You like knowing you make me want you to the point of madness? Like I’ll die if I don’t come inside you?” he bit out, punctuating his words with hard thrusts.

“Yes!”

She screamed as her body shook with her release, and Maxwell let out a shout of his own as she forced him to come when her body locked down around him. Fiery jets of semen tore from his cock, filling her as he ground his hips into hers.

Panting for breath, he lay over her and nuzzled the side of her neck. Their hearts pounded in sync until they heard the impatient growl coming from the other side of the room.

Trinity opened her eyes as Maxwell moved off of her. She kissed him again, lingering in the feeling of what they had just shared before getting up from the bed. She slowly walked toward Jackson, admiring him in all his glory. There before her was a predator, watching her with barely restrained hunger. He was sinfully sexy, sitting there with his powerful body gleaming in the firelight. His enormous erection was rock hard, and the bulbous head was an angry red. Every muscle in his body was tense as if he were ready to strike, but he remained still as he watched her approach him.

“Do you want this?” he asked, gripping that large cock in his hand.

“Yes.”

“Then, show me,” he ordered, spitting back the same words she had said to Maxwell earlier. “Show me that you want me, Kat. Show me that you need me, too, even though you have Max’s cum inside you.”

She saw the uncertainty in his beautiful green eyes even though he tried to hide it behind his rough facade. He had been punished enough. It had been unfair of her, but now this was their time together. Aware that Maxwell had propped himself on the bed to watch, Trinity moved forward. She slid one knee on the side of Jackson’s leg, then the other so she was straddling him on the large chair.

With a tenderness she didn’t know she had in her, she cupped his face between her hands. “I need you, too, Jackson. So much that it scares me. But I don’t know if I can be what you need.”
