Page 49 of The Penalty

I tumbled over the edge on a silent scream. Wave after wave of exquisite bliss washed through me. When my eyelids fluttered again, I couldn’t stop them from closing.

I bowed my head and waited for my breathing to slow.

Xavier pulled my hand out from under my dress. I felt the damp heat of his mouth wrap around my fingers when he sucked them clean. The sensation nudged my waning orgasm.

“Stand up.”

Opening my eyes proved to be more of a challenge than I thought. When Xavier’s outstretched hand appeared I took it.

Next thing I knew, I was on my feet. Lust and possession gathered in his arctic eyes.

“Dirty princess.” He backed me up against a column, yanked my dress up around my hips, ripped off my panties, and pushed my legs open with his knee. “That was quite the show you just gave me.”

He remained fully clothed, only unzipping his pants enough to free his cock. Its warm, hard length pressed into my lower abdomen.

“What do you plan on doing about it?” I purred, grabbing a handful of his hair.

A sacrilegious grin appeared. “What do you think I should do?”

“Anything you want.”

His deep laugh morphed into a groaned, “Oh fuck” when he slammed inside me.

I cried out even though I was so wet he slid in without much resistance. The sharp pleasure filled every part of me.

“I’m going to savor you,” he whispered, pulling out almost all the way. “Then I’m going to fucking ruin you.”

He rocked his hips forward, filling me to the hilt. Again. And again. Faster and harder.

Hot desire prickled over my skin. Energy and vibration ravaged me.

“Don’t stop,” I moaned. “I want more.”

Xavier slowed, torturing me with exquisite control and precision. Pulling out almost all the way, pushing in until he had nothing left to give. Edging me closer to the release I craved. It drove me crazy.

I clenched around him.

“Fuck. You’re killing me,” he rasped, dropping his forehead to mine.

A breeze caressed my heated skin as Xavier settled into a more brutal rhythm, making me take every inch, claiming me thoroughly.

“Harder,” I pleaded. “Please. Let yourself go.”

Ferocious eyes locked onto mine. The mysterious veil slipped away again. Seeing him stripped of any barriers stole my breath.

He stopped thrusting, wrapped my hair around his fist and held it close to the nape of my neck. Using his other hand, he unzipped my dress and pulled it down until it wrapped around me like a belt. His chest heaved when he raked his eyes all over my body. The sight of me standing exposed with his cock buried inside me affected him on a primal level.

“Demanding little thing, aren’t you.” He palmed my breast, hovering his mouth at my ear. “Do you want me to ruin you, love? I will. I’ll discover just how much you can take before I tease, bite, lick, and fuck you until my name is the only thing you’ll be able to say.”

The more he spoke and touched me, the more I lost myself in his words. It’s a powerful spell to wield and Xavier does it with such precision. Eyes that stop my breath. Hands that melt me with the faintest whisper of a touch. Taut face. Coiled muscles.

Pure, untamed masculinity. And I wanted every last piece of him.

“Answer me.”

“Yes.” My voice cracked on a moan.

“Yes, what.”
