“Does that make you mine?” she asked. A sound vibrated through my chest. I had no idea how the fuck I’d hit the jackpot after all the shitty swings life had given me. But I guess love and life happened when you least expected it to. And that’s what this was. Love. I loved her more than I ever thought was possible.

“That’s exactly what it fucking makes me,” I rumbled, hardly recognizing the sound of my voice. My hand slipped to the back of her head and into her silky hair, and when I had a good hold on it, I tugged.

“I like how bossy you get,” she gasped, and my dick leaked precum. The fucker was like a damn leaky faucet, ready to go off.

“I know.” My nose flared. “I love how you give in to me, bend for me knowing I would never take it too far.”

“I know,” she answered with so much confidence it left me humbled.

“There are things you don’t know,” I warned. “I’ve been watching you––“

“I know.” She smiled. “I called the security guard, remember?”

This was my chance to correct her. To confess all my wrongs.

No,the animal in my head growled.Don’t you dare. We’re too close to the promised land now.Claim. Mark. Take.I shook my head, about to ignore the angry voice in my head and tell her everything, when my sweet little temptress rose to the tips of her toes and kissed me.

It was sweet and soft.

Sensuous in a way I hadn’t expected, and just like that, she sealed her fate. It felt like she’d tossed gasoline on a fire and suddenly, sweet and tender were tossed out of the window. One moment we were kissing, and the next we were both pawing at each other, tearing our clothes off, helping each other with fumbling hands.

And we didn’t stop until we were standing completely naked.

“Carmen.” My voice sounded grave, almost tortured. Everything inside of me felt like it was on fire. Every nerve awakened with insatiable need, all my blood pumping southbound as my dick throbbed almost painfully.

“Take me,” she whispered. Her eyes connected with mine, and I couldn’t stop myself. I picked her up. Her legs wrapped around my waist as I hoisted her up, my hands on the middle of her satiny back. Naked and bodies pressed together. This was how I was going to die. Fuck.

“Please,” she begged softly, pounding the last nail into the coffin. The road to hell was paved with good intentions, but there was nothing sweet or gentle in what I had planned as I stepped closer to her bed. Nothing pure or kind.

“You’ve been driving me crazy. One look, Carm, that’s all it took.” I’d fallen in love at first sight.

“Oh god,” she whimpered, then her lips touched mine.

“Not god, baby. Just me.”

“Please, honey. I need––“

“Oh, you’re going to get it, baby girl. You’re you going to get every part of me,” I vowed. “But you’re going to give me you, too, aren’t you?”

“Yes.”

“Forever,” I reminded her, needing that little fact to be crystal clear. “No going back. No changing this.”

“Forever.” She nodded, nipping my bottom lip with hers.

“Tell me,” I goaded like a selfish prick. Fuck it. I’d tell her all of it, every fucking thing I did for us to find our way here, but I’d do it long after she promised herself to me. “Tell me what I need to hear, Carmen,” I demanded.

My body felt like it was being held tight, like the string of a slingshot about to go flying. Her hands moved between us, and my girl cupped my face as she stared into my eyes. There was so much reflected in her gaze, I had no idea where to start to break it down.

“I’m yours,” she said so easily it drove need deeper into my bones. Carmen’s hands might have been holding my face, but it was my heart she had a grip on.

The moment my knees touched the mattress, I started to drop her down, my body following hers as I tried not to give her too much of my weight. Not that she seemed to mind as her legs parted, thighs widened to make space for me.

“Take me.” Everything inside of me went quiet. No longer were the animal and man who clung to sanity at war.

They couldn’t be.

Not when all I saw in front of me was beauty.
