Elias Takes Control
Elias exhaled sharply, his fingers tightening on her hips, pulling her back against him.
Hard. Unyielding. Possessive.
And for the first time, he spoke—his voice low, deep, rough with control.

A whimper caught in Isabella’s throat as Lillian smiled, her lips curving in pure, wicked delight.

Soft and demanding, teasing and taking, tongue sliding past Isabella’s parted lips, stealing the last of her resistance.
Elias growled, his grip tightening, his breath hot against the back of Isabella’s neck.
His wife was devouring her.
And Isabella?
She was falling apart.

He was behind her, his body heat and dominance, his breath slow and steady against her neck. His hands gripped her hips, possessive, anchoring her to the reality of what she had just surrendered to.
Lillian had claimed her lips first.
