Page 55 of When He Hunts

She couldn’t seemto stop shivering. But the shivers weren’t from the cold of the spring. She didn’t feel cold at all, even though droplets of water still clung to her skin.

The shivers came from something else. Anticipation. Need. A heady desire that she’d never experienced, not until him. Ronan carried her up the stairs like her weight didn’t matter. His hold and his steps never wavered. He was warm and strong and the sexiest man she’d ever met in her life.

She’d never thought that she’d get swept away by need. Never thought that someone would want her so much. Thatshewould want someone this same way.

Back in high school, the boys had all known about her past. They’d all grown up together, and everyone had always treated her as if she was far too fragile. That she’d break if anyone touched her too hard. Then later, when she’d tried to date a few men after college, nothing had ever clicked. By that point, she’d been the uncertain one.

Ronan carried her into the bedroom.

She didn’t feel uncertain with him. Luna felt like she just might go mad if she didn’t have him in her.

But he didn’t take her to the bed. That knowledge dawned on her a bit slowly. She blinked and her head turned. “Ronan?”

“You’re cold.” Gruff.

No, no, she wasn’t cold. Turned on. About to splinter apart with desire, yes. But cold was the last thing she felt.

He took her into the bathroom. Eased her to her feet and let her go. Instantly, she missed his touch and wanted him back, but Ronan just turned on the water so it pounded down from the shower. As the water flowed and steam began to drift in the small room, his eyes raked over her. Every single inch.

“You should…” He swallowed. “Get warm.”

Her hand reached for him. “Come with me.” Another thing on her list that she’d never done. Shower with someone else. In the movies, it always looked sexy. Hot. In reality, she’d always thought it would be cramped and awkward.

“Like I have to be asked twice.”

Just like that, they were in the shower. It was cramped because it was a super small shower, but it wasn’t awkward. As the warm water poured over her skin, he pinned her against the tiled wall and his mouth took hers. Heavy, drugging kisses. His muscular thigh slid between her legs. Lifted her up. He put pressure right at her core as she rode along his thigh and kissed him, and his fingers cupped her breasts and teased her nipples and had her moaning into his mouth.

Not awkward. Not at all. Just hot. Sexy. Like in the movies.

Like it wasn’t even her real life because surely that wasn’t her sliding her hand down and pumping his thick dick. Surely that wasn’t her tipping back her head and moaning as he kissed a path down her throat. As he licked and sucked her skin, and she felt the slightly rough bite of his teeth against her.

She’d always been shy. Holding back with lovers. But she was rubbing her body against his, riding his thigh, wishing that his cock was inside her as the water poured over them. “Ronan, I wantyou.” Right then. Right there. As desperately as she’d wanted him the night before. Being with him hadn’t lessened her desire. It had just made her want him more.

She knew how good it would be.

She wanted that insane pleasure again.

“You’ll have me.” His head lifted. Droplets of water slid through his hair and down the strong planes of his face. “And you’ll come for me, won’t you? Over and over.”

Beautiful, fabulous plan.

“Right now,” she urged. Demanded. Luna pumped him faster. “Now, Ronan.”

But he shook his head. Ronan reached out to turn off the shower. When the water stopped, she jerked.

“Condom. Don’t have them in here.” Each word was a rumble. He pulled away from her and stepped from the shower. He turned back with a towel. Curled it around her and pulled her out.

He takes care of me. Again and again. He’s not the villain I thought. Not even close.

Then they were back in the bedroom. He snagged a condom and had it on in moments, and they were in bed. Kissing. Tangled. She started to slide onto her back, but he stopped her. He was the one to sprawl on his back, and he tugged her onto him, making Luna straddle him. Her hands flew to press against his chest as she held her balance.

“Take me in fast or take me in slow, princess. You control it.”

Her eyes widened. She glanced down at their bodies. Lifted her hips. One of her hands moved to guide his cock into her. She watched as, slowly, he sank inside of her. Inch by inch. Watching him go inside andfeelinghim fill her was so intense that Luna trembled around him. Her lips parted as she gasped out his name. Her inner muscles clamped around him, and she held herself perfectly still as he filled her completely. “That feels…amazing.” No pain. Just pleasure waiting to spill through her.

His hands tightened around her hips. “Heaven and hell.”

Her gaze whipped to his face and collided with his intense stare. His expression had turned almost brutal with lust. But she wasn’t afraid. Didn’t think she could be afraid of him. Still holding his gaze, she lifted her hips up. Pushed high, then sank back down to take all of him again.
