Abe’s eyes are focused out the window, watching the city lights fly by in a blur of colors.

His jaw is tense, his brow furrowed in thought.

“Penny for your thoughts?” I venture quietly, not wanting to break the comfortable silence that has descended.

Abe’s head turns toward me, his aqua blue eyes meeting mine.

There’s something unreadable in his gaze as he studies me, making me squirm under his intense scrutiny.

“I was just thinking...” He begins, his voice low and husky. “This feels... different.”

Involuntarily, my heart skips a beat. “Different?”

Abe nods slowly, reaching up with his free hand to tuck a loose strand of my hair behind my ear.

“Yeah... different,” He repeats, a soft smile playing on his lips. “I mean, I’ve spent nights with women before, but this... with you... it doesn’t feel the same.”

A strange thrill runs down my spine, making me shiver slightly.

I raise an eyebrow at him, teasingly. “Oh? And what exactly feels different about tonight?”

Abe is quiet for a moment, just looking at me with those mesmerizing eyes.

Then he speaks, his voice barely above a whisper. “It’s like... I don’t know. Like everything else fades away when I’m with you.”

I gaze at him in surprise, my heart pounding in my chest.

His words echo my own thoughts from earlier tonight and hearing them spoken out loud leaves me breathless.

“Well,” I reply softly, gathering my thoughts, “maybe that’s because we’re both so focused on each other, that there’s no room for anything else.”

Abe chuckles, “Well, I welcome the break.”

CHAPTER NINE

Turmoil

Warmth engulfs my cock, a delicious suction pulling me from the depths of slumber.

Fluttering my eyes open, I lift my head to find Seraphina’s golden-brown hair splayed across my lap, her luscious lips wrapped around my hardening shaft.

What the hell?

After the mind-blowing sex we had all night, she’s hungry for more already?

Not that I’m complaining.

A groan escapes my throat as her tongue swirls around the sensitive head.

She glances up at me through her lashes, slate gray eyes smoldering with lust.

The sight nearly makes me blow my load right then and there.

I tangle my fingers in her silky tresses, guiding her mouth up and down. “Damn, baby. You’re insatiable,” I rasp, voice still gravelly with sleep.

She releases me with a wet pop, lips curving in a wicked grin. “I woke up craving your cock. Hope you don’t mind.”

I flex my hips, pushing myself deeper into her welcoming mouth. “Mind? Sweetheart, you can wake me up like this anytime.”
