This moment.

This man.

“You’re so fucking beautiful,” he murmurs, pulling his fingers away.

I can’t seem to think of a response, so I reach out and put my hand on the side of his face, gently rubbing my thumb along the chiseled jaw and cheekbones.

“I’m really glad you came tonight,” I say quietly.

“Me too.”

“I love your voice…”

He almost smiles.

Almost.

CHAPTER FIVE

Royal

I can’t rememberthe last time I spent so long talking to a woman.

Hell, I can’t remember the last time I spent so long talking toanyone.

But there’s something about Jade that…

Well, I can’t keep my distance.

Normally, it’s so easy to throw up barriers, to keep a careful space between myself and the rest of the world.

Jade is?—

I want to do a fuck-ton more than just suck at her fingers.

I settle my hand on her lower back as we descend the stairs in Rico’s front yard and make our way to her car. She shivers and I shrug out of my jacket, settling it over her shoulders, giving in to the urge to wrap my arm around her waist and draw her close.

Another shiver has me bringing her even closer.

“Better?” I ask.

A nod. “Yes,” she says, her voice threaded with heat that wraps its fingers around my dick and squeezes. “Thanks.”

“Any time.”

As in, I’ll touch her any fucking time she’ll let me.

Her driver tugs open the door, holding it as we get in.

“Thanks,” Jade murmurs, sliding across the seat to give me space to get in.

The door closes with a soft thunk but I’m barely paying attention—because all of that sliding has caused the hem of her skirt to drag up…

Miles and miles of bare skin.

Strong calves, thighs I want to clasp…right before I spread them and feast on the beauty between her legs. The hint of an ass that deserves to be worshipped?—

“Royal?”
