Page 50 of Dangerous Devotion

Irritation mixed with the satisfaction of his praise, a warm stroke to her ego that she felt move across her skin even as annoyance jabbed her like a sharp instrument.

Tensionzappedbetween them. For five beats, nobody spoke.

“I’m hanging up before you two start throwing punches. If that happens, don’t call me asking to swap partners. You guys are in this together now.”

Without a farewell, Con ended the call.

May folded her arms tighter across her body. AJ swung to face her.

“You didn’t have to throw me under the bus with Con like that.”

“Throw you under the bus? Woman, I gave you a compliment!”

“Sandwiched between two insults!”

His eyes flared almost imperceptibly. She wouldn’t have even noticed if she hadn’t been watching him so closely.

When he launched at her, a cry of shock escaped her. The noise ended on a gulp as he threw her down on the bed and covered her body with his.

His big…hard…body.

He was hardeverywhere.

Desire bloomed in her core, and she was stunned to realize she had already been aroused from their argument.

Oh god, they werethatcouple, who had a lovers’ spat for the sake of making up.

She saw his eyes darken to the shade of a sapphire at the bottom of a lake before he lowered his mouth over hers.

ELEVEN

Henner ripped his mouth away from May’s. But her plump lips beckoned him right back. “Fuck, I love kissing you.”

He lunged in again, claiming her in a long, tongue-teasing kiss that stretched on and on and on.

Passion ignited a fuse inside him—a slow burn at first though it was a bright flare shooting through his body. It was a quiet satisfaction, a humming that started low and grew in speed as it arced toward his chest.

Her breath quickened. His muscles grew taut with the energy thrumming through them. His cock surged with need, his balls full.

Again, he ripped his mouth free and stared down at her beautiful face, panting for control. “We have two boxes of condoms.”

Her lips twisted in a smile she was reluctant to give him, but once it started, she couldn’t stop.

She slipped her hand around his nape and jerked him back to her. The tip of her tongue teasing over his set his blood on fire. The rush of need stole the rest of his mind. All he could think about was getting both their clothes off.

In a series of rolls and the yanking of clothes, they managed to undress each other. Her silky fingers skimmed over his stiff cock for only a split second before he stopped her by sliding down her body.

He anchored her ankles over his shoulders and sank his tongue into her pussy.

A cry echoed around the room, and those nails dug into his shoulders—all but one nail. The one he saw her bite off in the car on the drive from the base.

He swirled his tongue inside her with an insatiable hunger before gliding the tip through her folds to her clit.

She bucked, arching, pleading for all he had to give.

He delivered it and more. Licking and thrusting his tongue and fingers inside her until her desire slicked his lips.

She bit back a cry, but he felt her stirring against him, restless and at the pinnacle of her release. When she choked on a louder cry, she bowed upward and came in a throbbing pulse.
