Page 81 of Toxic Vengeance

Forcing his eyes open, he looked down at her. She was watching him as she took him deep, making his breath stutter in his throat. He wanted it to last forever but he was too on edge, it had been too long and he needed to come. Neededher.

“I’m getting close,” he finally rasped out, unsure if he wanted to beg for mercy or beg her to finish him off then and there.

She gave him two more slow, torturous sucks before releasing him and shimmying up to straddle his thighs. And she was naked. Utterly, gloriously naked, the morning sunlight coming through the windows gilding her light brown skin with brushstrokes of gold.

He slid one hand around her back and cupped one perfect breast with the other. She leaned forward, settling her core directly over his aching cock as he took a pert nipple into his mouth.

Moaning softly, she rocked her hips, sliding her wetness along his rigid length. A crinkle registered at the back of his mind, then a quiet tearing sound. He released her nipple just long enough to look down as she stood him up to roll a condom down his length.

Eden shifted, planting one hand beside his head while she settled him against her core, her gaze locked with his. Zack stared back at her, utterly lost in this gorgeous woman as she sank down on him, her teeth sinking into her plump lower lip.

“Fuck, yes, ride me,” he groaned, gripping one curvy hip while he reached up to squeeze and roll her nipple.

Eden gasped and shifted once more, changing the angle slightly. Her eyes slid closed and her head fell back, her free hand sliding down to touch the swollen nub at the top of her sex.

It was so fucking sexy to watch her take control like this, to take her pleasure from his body while he watched. Every slow, slick stroke of her core pushed the pleasure higher. It raced across his skin, up his spine, making his heart slam and his breathing turn rough.

“You’re so hard,” she breathed, her face awash in ecstasy as she rocked herself toward release, her fingers stroking her clit in gentle circles he wished he could be giving her with his tongue. “Sothick.”

Christ, the way she said it in that pleasure-roughened voice, the way her breath caught and her inner muscles squeezed him, had him breaking out in a sweat. He firmed his grip on her hip, watched her face as he lifted his hips, following the pace and rhythm she set. Soon she was breathing fast, her face tightening.

So close. So close he could almost taste it.

He wrapped his hand in her curls. Squeezed tight. He needed to see her eyes. Craved that most intimate connection with her. “Look at me.”

She opened pleasure-drenched, heavy-lidded amber eyes. Held his gaze and moved faster. Harder. Then her eyes squeezed shut, her face contorting with pleasure as orgasm took her. She moaned and threw her head back, that gorgeous body undulating in the throes of ecstasy.

Breathing hard, Zack gripped her hips and pulled her down on him as he thrust up, burying himself deep inside her, and let go. The pleasure ripped through him, powerful and sweet. He groaned and tugged her down on top of him, gathering her close against his chest. “Good morning.”

She chuckled drowsily. “Morning. You okay?” Her hand drifted down to brush the edge of the bandage covering his stitches.

“Fantastic. Feeling no pain whatsoever at the moment.”

“I thought we’d fixed our trust issues because we agreed no more lies,” she said in a pointed tone.

A chuckle escaped him. “Okay, I’m still in pain. But that was worth it.” She was worth any amount of pain.

Her arms slid beneath him, her head tucked beneath his jaw. “I tried to be gentle with you.”

“You were.” He smoothed a hand down her satin-smooth back. “What time is it?”

“Seven.”

“Why were you up so early? Did I miss something?”

“I was just talking with Kiyomi.”

“About?”

“Various things. She’s been trying to remember things she heard when she was in captivity. She’s convinced Rahman intended to sell her to the Architect.”

It turned his stomach to think about it. “Has Amber got a lock on him yet?”

“No, but she’s getting close.”

“I’ll help her work on it this afternoon. I’ve still got some connections I might be able to use to help us find him.” Zack wanted to find Rahman so they could solve the final piece of this puzzle, but he also dreaded it. Because once they had a location nailed down, Eden and the others would go after him.

Not wanting to spoil the peacefulness of the moment, Zack set his worry aside and stroked a hand through her curls. Eden was going to be in danger again at some point, and he had to deal with that. He wanted to shield her from everything, protect her from any threat, but that would never work with her. All he could do was stand beside her and face whatever came together. “Is everybody else up?”
