“What’s the matter then? Why are you so furious?”

“Because I can smell him all over you!” he yelled. “And all I want to do is erase it and cover you with my scent.”

A flash of panic crossed her face—which was swiftly replaced by lust. “Then do it.”

He blinked. “What?”

“Do. It.” Raising her hand, she snapped her fingers, and the sand beneath his feet disappeared, replaced by the plush carpet.They stood toe-to-toe at the foot of the massive bed of their villa. “Well?”

With a deep, guttural growl, he picked her up and tossed her over his shoulder. But instead of throwing her on the bed, he marched toward the bathroom.

“Cade?” Artemis sounded panicked. “Where are you taking me?”

“Need. To. Wash. Him. Off!” He placed her onto the floor of the shower, then reached for her clothes. The bra top proved to be difficult to remove, so he simply ripped it down the middle, the scraps of Lycra shredding in his hands.

Artemis gasped. “Cade!”

He did the same with her yoga pants and underwear, turning them to ribbons around her feet. Reaching behind her, he turned on the tap, hot water blasting at them both. Before she could protest, he cupped her chin then melded his mouth to hers. Her hands reached up to grab at his shoulders, and he lifted her up so she could wrap her legs around him.

The tightness in his chest eased as the water cleaned away Daniel’s scent. When he tried to pull away, Artemis refused to let him go, her arms and legs locking around him like a vice.

“No,” she said against his mouth.

“Artemis—”

“I’m ready,” she breathed. “Please, Cade.”

His heart stuttered. “Ready? Are you sure?”

“Yes. Please, Cade, don’t make me beg,” she said, the ache in her voice evident. “I want this. Need this. Need you.”

He let out a hiss as her hips undulated against the growing erection in his shorts. “If you’re sure.”

“Yes.”

That was all he needed as he pushed her back against the wall. Prying her legs away, he put her back down on her feet, then trailed kisses down her body until he was kneeling beforeher. “I’m going to taste your pussy again, and this time I’ll want more than a minute.” Grasping her thighs, he slung one over his shoulder and pushed his face between her thighs.

“Cade!” Her fingers dug into his scalp as he feasted on her. She tasted even better than he remembered, and he couldn’t get enough. He licked at her seam, up and down, the slit opening up for him. She panted as his tongue slipped in and out of her, fucking her, sending her the not-so-subtle message that this was just a taste of what was to come.

She screamed his name as her body convulsed. His grip on her thigh tightened, and he pushed his mouth harder against her sweet little cunt, tasting her juices as they flooded his mouth. Not satisfied, he splayed his hand over her pubis, and his thumb found her hard clit, stroking it until she was coming into his mouth again.

“Oh,” she panted as she lay back against the slick tile, her body limp and pliable.

Rising to his feet, he kissed her again. “Don’t tell me you’re done. We’re just starting.”

“S-starting?” Lust-clouded eyes gazed up.

“Yeah.” His hand crept over the curves of her hips, her flat stomach, and over her nipples, until it settled around her neck. “You’re gonna keep coming until I tell you to stop.” His fingers gripped around her delicate neck, and her pupils blew up with desire.Interesting?—

His thoughts were interrupted as he felt a firm hand cover the erection over his shorts. “Naughty girl. You know what to do with that?”

“Is that a challenge?” The corner of her mouth tugged up. With a snap of her fingers, his clothes disappeared, and she gripped him, her hand sliding up and down the length of his engorged member. “Is this how you like it?”

“I–uh! That’s it,” he breathed.

“I loved watching you stroke yourself,” she said. “Couldn’t take my eyes off you. Wanted to make you feel good too.”

“You’re a quick study.”
