“What are you doing?”

She bites her lower lip in answer, and it’s every bit intentional.

“I don’t want them to hear us.”

‘They won’t.’She said it through the bond to prove a point.

“They won’t hearyou, maybe.”

‘Try it.’She’s kissing my neck now.

“You’re not making this easy.” I have to collect myself enough to reach out mentally through the only bond I have—Abby’s.‘Hello?’

Abby laughs softly into my skin.‘Hello yourself,’she coos softly. Other than her, there’s nothing. No unwanted voices.

“How?” The word comes out gruff as one of her hands finds a very sensitive place on my body.

‘I shut them out. It’s just you and me, as it should be.’

‘Are you sure?’I ask through the bond because I can no longer speak under the intensity of her touch. The power this woman has over me still confounds me.

‘Since when do you care if people hear us?’

She’s right. Fuck, there’s been times I wanted the entire word to hear her screaming my name. And with the realization comes the need to hear it now, echoing over the crashing waves fifty feet below this clifftop.

‘You’re playing a dangerous game, Stabby.’

Her lips move to my ear and Gods, she’s so warm against my bare chest, but not as warm as she would be without that shirt. “Are you going to make me scream your name or not?” Her question comes as the faintest of whispers, but the next thing out of her mouth is going to be much, much louder.

I pull her against me and then stand abruptly, scooping her into the air and over to our cot. There’s no time to grab the blankets, because this needs to happen now. We don’t have an extra set of clothing, so the process of carefully removing her clothing is taking far too long. She removes her shirt while I fumble with the buttons on her pants and slide them down her hips. I don’t see where I tossed them, but as long as it wasn’t in the fire or off the cliff, we’re good.

I ignore the agonizing throb in my cock because I want to taste her first. She sucks in a sharp breath as my lips find exactly the right spot. I kiss her there, letting my tongue flick over her clit and loving the way it makes her legs tremble. I clasp a hand over each of her ankles to keep her from moving too much. She needs to know I’m in control.‘I’m going to make you scream this way. I want to hear the way my name sounds echoing across the ocean.’

She whimpers, but doesn’t utter a single word. So that’s how it’s going to be.

‘We can do this the easy way or the hard way.’

‘Hard way.’She can barely get the thought out. She wants me to work for it, and work for it I shall.

I slip a finger inside her, and then another without so much as breaking my rhythm on her core.‘Say my name.’

Another whimper, and with it, a word almost escaped.

She’s so wet that a third finger goes in with ease. The need to fuck her is driving me wild, but I won’t until she says it.

‘You’re…going to have…to do better…than that.’

If she wants to be difficult, then fine. I bring down all the walls and open myself to her completely. Every bit of my burning desire courses through her. The more intense my need gets, the more hers will. And just seeing what this is doing to her is already accomplishing that.

“Fuck,” she gasps aloud.

‘That’s not my name, Stabby.’

“Not. Going. To. Happen.” She can only get the words out one at a time, and fuck, is she ever stubborn. I guess desperate times really do call for desperate measures. I don’t know if this will work—and if it doesn’t, I might just have to admit defeat. Not that I’d tell her that.

‘Are you sure about that?’I ask as I release my grip on her other leg and reach between my own, gripping my length and stroking slowly. This is so weird, but damn, does it feel good.

“Not…fair,” her entire body quivers with the words as her breathing quickens. She’s feeling it all now. My mouth on her clit, my fingers deep within her, and the building need in my throbbing cock.
