My body moved on its own, pushing up, trying to become one with him, and my hips were already falling in a rhythm, rubbing my pussy against this cock.

“Grey, please,” I said because this wasn’t right. It wasn’t fair that he felt like that. It wasn’t fair that he kissed me, and I never wanted his lips not to be touching my skin.

This waswrong,wasn’t it? It wasGrey!

He raised his head and let go of my wrists to bring his hands to my face. I gripped him by the shoulders, holding on tightly, terrified to pull him down on me harder the way I wanted to.

“What do you want, baby?” he asked, leaning his head farther back so I could focus on his eyes.

And to this day, I’m convinced thatthatwas my undoing with him.

Grey looked at me likehe sawme, actually saw all that I was.

Not just that, but he adoredit all, the good and the bad and the ugly.

I was perfectly defenseless against that.

“Your word is my command. Do you remember that?” he said, kissing the tip of my nose quickly before he moved backagain. I nodded—I did remember him saying that. “Good. Whatever you want, say the word and it’s done.”

My hands moved to his face, too, and I touched his cheeks, traced his brows, the shape of his lips. “I was terrifiedof you just yesterday.” Maybe notterrified,but I’d been afraid of Grey more than all the others since day one.

Grey shook his head. “I never meant to scare you.”

“I don’t think it wasyou—it was everyone else.” Everyone was afraid of Grey, so I’d been, too, even though he’d never once threatened me or anything—on the contrary. He’d always been a gentleman every time we’d talked.

Grey thought about it for a second. “Well.” He shrugged. “I did mean to scarethem, so…”

Fuck me, I was smiling.

No way this was Grey Evernight. No way.

“I think I know what’s going on here. Aliens kidnapped you last night and replaced you with someone who looks like you.” Because that made a whole lot more sense than this. “Yep. That’s it—aliens.”

“Aliens?” Grey laughed. He actually laughed. It was short, but it was from the heart and the sound slipped all the way into my bones. Even my toes curled becausefuck common sense.

Grey was on top of me, we were naked, and I was grinning ear to ear like I’d accomplished my mission in this world to have made him laugh.

This is it, world. I’ve done what I came here to do. Now I can die a happy woman.

Ugh.

“I think it’s just you,” he then said, in the same tone of voice as me.

I pulled my lips inside my mouth for a second to stop that stupid smile—this wasridiculous. “‘You sure about that? No flying saucers came into the Woods lastnight?”

“None. I’ll swear my life on it,” he solemnly said, then gave me a peck on the lips, making my heart jump. “Is that good enough?”

My God, I was so screwed. “Mhmm. I think so.” And delirious with pleasure, andwarm and fuzzy fucking feelingswhen he planted kisses all over my face every second.

“Good. Very good.”Kiss.“And now that we got that out of the way…”Kiss, kiss.“…I’d like to get to the part where I have your permission to taste you…”Kiss, kiss, kiss.“…and make you scream until your throat hurts.”

Yes, yes, yes!

“No, wait.” I took in a deep breath and I closed my eyes. It was so much safer in my head when I wasn’t looking at him. “Wait, wait, hold on, wait.”

“As long as you want, baby.” And he pressed his hips onto me just a little.

Goddamn it.
