He consumed not just my mouth, but every part of me, marking it as his.

Things got out of hand when his hands slid down the curves of my body,gripping my thighs and lifting my dress as his tongue swirled around mine. Our mouths moved in sync, and I felt a whole freaking butterfly factory in my stomach.

He lifted me as if I weighed nothing. My back hit the door with his weight pressed against me.The kiss was so hot, but when I felt the bulge in his pants rubbing against my soaked center, I lost control.

I panted desperately, my nails digging into his back, wanting to remove every piece of clothing from him. I wrapped my legs around his waist, cursing in my mind at the overwhelming sensation.

Why does he have to kiss so good? Why?

‘‘Fuck.’’

He groaned between our kisses, biting my bottom lip hard enough to draw blood. He licked it away, then kissed me with an urgency that made my head spin.

He was painfully hard—because of me. I was doing this to him.

His lips moved with such intensity as if they were made for mine, and I found myself intoxicated by the taste of him. The softness of his kiss invited me deeper into this dangerous game, and I couldn’t say no.

Maddox King is the perfect blend of forbidden, captivating, and utterly magnetic. The pull I felt toward him was undeniable as if I couldn’t fight it even if I tried.

It’s wrong. So wrong.

Being trapped against the door by my fiancé’s brother, his hands on my thighs, in the hallway where anyone could see.

My fingers tangled in his soft hair, and he groaned as I moved against him, searching for some relief, some way to ease the tension building inside me.

‘‘Maddox.’’

I cried out his name, and he swallowed every sound as if claiming it. His lips traveled down my neck, leaving a trail of fire in their wake, his fingers digging into my skin.

‘‘I want you.’’

He met my gaze, his lips swollen, eyes dark and heavy with desire, and it was like every part of me submitted to him.My body burned with a desire I couldn’t ignore, longing for more. He was so big, so strong, and the thought of him like that, naked… I couldn’t stop the flood of desire.

His face twitched, his jaw clenched as if he were battling with himself.

Then his hands moved toward the waistband of my panties, gripping them tightly, pulling. The sound of fabric ripping echoed in the air, and my heart thudded painfully in my throat.

Just as I thought I had him exactly where I wanted him, the front door creaked open, shattering the moment.

Maddox instantly pulled away, letting me go.

My legs buckled beneath me as he created distance just in time for Lydia to walk up the stairs, a wide smile on her face.

“Oh,” she exclaimed, glancing between us. “I didn’t expect to find anyone awake.”

Maddox scoffed. I prayed the dim lighting was enough to keep Lydia from noticing his swollen lips—or mine. Or how red and disheveled we both looked.

“You were supposed to watch out for Allyn, Lydia,” Maddox said coldly, his voice betraying nothing, masking whatever had just happened between us. “Or did you forget?”

“Oh, come on,” Lydia whined, walking past us nonchalantly. “She’s a big girl. She doesn’t need someone shadowing her every step.”

“If something had happened to her—”

She turned to face him, interrupting. “But nothing happened, right? So calm the fuck down and find a girl to fuck that attitude out of you. I can’t stand you when you’re like this.’’

I used the moment to slip away from both of them, muttering a quick “goodnight” as I fled.

I hurried to my room, closing the door behind me.My heart pounded wildly in my chest. I didn’t realize how long I had been holding my breath until that very second.
