Page 49 of Tempted By Sin

Hell, I don’t deserve her, but I’m selfish enough to keep her.

“Me?” I say, rolling the word around my mouth as I brush my chest against hers. She shudders, but holds my gaze. My hand grazes hers, the heat from her skin lighting a fire in my veins. “And what do you want me to do, little bird? Say the word and I’ll make it happen.”

She swallows hard, strands of silver hair falling delicately around her soft features. Paetyn is the most beautiful woman I have ever had the pleasure of laying eyes on. Anytime another man looks in her direction, it takes every ounce of self-control I have to not rip their eyes from their skull. But that would land in a load of trouble I didn’t want to deal with. But it didn’t stop me from imagining the scenario in my head as I watched from a distance, ensuring her safety.

If she so much as asked me to jump, I wouldn’t fucking hesitate to say how high.

“Can we…” Paetyn clears her throat and wrings her hands in the small space between our bodies. “Go up to your room?”

“And do what?”

Her cheeks turn a light shade of pink and she drops her eyes to the ground. “Don’t make me say it, Ace.”

I bite back a smile at how adorable she is when she’s embarrassed. I know exactly what she wants. When I opened the chest in my room the last time she was here, revealing a side to me not many women have had the privilege to see, I saw the way her eyes lit up with excitement and curiosity. It was as if I had unlocked a whole new world for her, one she didn’t know she craved.

It took everything in me not to go all in that night and push her limits. But I knew I would be playing with fire if I had. Considering she had likely never been tied up before, especially not with that vanilla-ass motherfucker she’s dating, I didn’t want to push the boundaries of what she was comfortable with.

The moment I bound her hands behind her back and heard the hitch in her breath as her body trembled with excitement and anticipation, I knew I had unlocked a hidden desire she didn’t know she possessed. And ever since that night, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about how fucking stunning she looked in that position with her ass in the air, pussy dripping forme. Every sound she made formehas been playing on a loop in my mind like a fucking broken record, and I’ve been dying to add to the collection.

I tuck a strand of silver hair behind her ear and cup her cheek, holding her gaze steady. “Okay, I won’t. But I will make sure you’re screaming my name with that pretty little mouth of yours.”

Her eyes widen as excitement and desire cloud those pretty eyes of hers.

Without saying a word, I wrap my hands around the back of her thighs and hoist her up. At the same time her toned legs wrap around my waist, I attach my lips to hers, needing to fucking feel every inch of her. I didn’t get the chance to kiss her last time because I was too caught up in the moment, so I have a lot of catching up to do.

Our mouths clash in an inferno of heat and lust. My hands tighten around her thighs as I blindly walk to the staircase, taking each step from memory. Paetyn’s hands are in my hair, tugging on the roots as her mouth moves effortlessly with mine. A soft groan sounds from the back of her throat when I swipe my tongue over her bottom lip.

If I wasn’t a patient man, I would fucking take her right here on the staircase like a wild animal.

But she wants more, and I’m more than willing to give that to her.

I kick the door open to my bedroom and blindly feel for the light switch with one hand while the other moves to grip her perky ass, kneading the skin. That earns me a deep moan as light illuminates the room.

I reluctantly break the kiss to place her on the ground in front of the bed. We’re both panting as we stare at each other, our chests heaving. Without breaking eye contact, I shove the coat off her shoulders. The material has barely hit the floor before I reach for the hem of her T-shirt and discard the item beside me.

My eyes rake over her impressive chest concealed by a red lace bra.

I finger the strap, tilting my head to the side. “Did you wear this just for me, little bird?”

Paetyn opens her mouth to respond, but the words die in her throat when I press my lips against hers, capturing the sounds like a greedy bastard. I make quick work of her jeans, shoving the material down her thighs until she was in nothing but her matching underwear.

God, this woman is fucking stunning. A work of art, really.

“Ace,” she moans against my lips when I pull away, her breathing coming out in heavy pants. “Please.”

“Please what?” I encourage as I take a step back, admiring the beauty before me. Every curve of her body and every freckle littering her creamy skin has already been committed to memory the moment I first laid eyes on her, but seeing her in this state brings with it a whole new wave of possessiveness that I can’t ignore.

“Touch me,” she whispers, her eyes searching my face. “Do whatever you want.”

My eyes nearly bulge out of my head. “You—what?”

A sly grin turns up the corner of her mouth as she runs a hand down my chest, toying with the hem of my black T-shirt. “I’m all yours, Ace.”

Fuck me.

This woman is going to be the death of me.

“That’s a dangerous game you’re playing,” I strangle out, unable to get my fucking heart under control as she snatches it from my chest. “I hope you know that.”
