“Even the elephant and mermaid statue?” he teased.

“Everything.”

He ran his hand down her body. “Why would you do that? The painting in the living room must be worth thousands.”

“Fifteen thousand.”

“Why give it to me?”

“Because everyone deserves a home.”

He stared down at her for a long moment before he pressed his forehead to hers. “There she is.”

“Who?”

“The woman Vinny raved about.” She stiffened, and he cupped her face. “I wanted you before I met you.”

She stared into his eyes and had the sensation of falling.

“I wanted to meet the woman behind his projects, the woman in the photos all over his office. And now you’re here.” He stroked a hand down her body. “I never had access to beautiful things until recently.” He licked her skin. “And it tastes amazing.”

He slid down her body and paused at her belly button to lave it with his tongue. He looked up the length of her body, eyes glittering shards in the dim light.

“You never gave me an opening.” He stroked her belly. “You weren’t ready. Now that you’re awake, now that you see me, I’m gonna take advantage.” He spread her thighs and surveyed her body. “Alot.”

He went down on her. She hissed through her teeth as his tongue went deep. She lifted her legs and planted her feet on the bed so she could lift her hips up to his mouth. He was damn good. She was moaning and thrashing within minutes. He didn’t let up until she erupted beneath him, her limbs going rigid as pleasure rocketed through her. Marcus slid into her as she orgasmed and rode her rough. The sound of slapping skin filled the room. She raked her nails down his back.

“Fuck, Carmen,” he panted.

“Harder.”

He obeyed, doing her so hard she knew she would be feeling the effects tomorrow. His face was carved in animal ecstasy as he fucked her. No teasing or laughing this time. He gripped her hair and yanked her head back as he pounded into her. She took what he offered and reveled in his possession as he planted himself deep and came. He panted in her ear as he collapsed on top of her. His hand loosened in her hair and then began to stroke.

“Too rough?”

“Just right,” she husked.

“I don’t know what you’re bringing out in me.”

She nuzzled his face. “I like it. Whatever you need, Marcus.”

He didn’t respond, and she sensed he wasn’t happy about what happened. She stroked his face.

“We all need an outlet. Let me be yours. You won’t break me.”

“I’ve never been like this with a woman,” he said finally.

“You’ve been with pussies, that’s why.”

He laughed and rolled, putting her on top. “So what are you?”

“A badass motherfucker.”

He grinned. “Yes, you are.”

She settled over him. “I’m going to ruin you for all other women.”

“I can’t wait.”
