“Show me.”

“I can’t.” I shake my head, even as my body starts to build. “I can’t come anymore.”

“You can, and you will.” He props up on his elbows and tilts his hips.

His dick hits me somewhere deep in my soul. He strikes a place so sensitive my nails bite into his arms.

“I—”

“You can.” He does it again.

And again.

Cillian rolls over every nerve ending inside me and wills me to come for him. “Your husband wants your cum on his cock, Clover.”

He moves in waves, and my head tips back as my entire body detonates. And the darkness in his eyes as I come around him is as much pain as it is pleasure. My whole body tenses—convulses. I shake as he fucks me harder.

My throat is raw from screaming as he hits me deep and fills me with his cum. He empties inside me, and I’venever been one with a person, but if this is how it feels, I don’t want us to ever tear apart.

Our bodies slow. Out of breath and energy as we come down from a place that might as well be outer space.

But Cillian doesn’t take his eyes off me. He watches every breath leave my lips. He traces the blush running my chest. He rests over me but doesn’t pull himself out, and I can’t help but melt into this moment of us coming together.

“You made a mistake, Odette.” Cillian presses his body to me and tips my face up so I’m forced to look into his lethal gaze.

“What did I do?”

Cillian’s stare is darker than I’ve ever seen it as he looks into my eyes. “You gave yourself to me.”

“I was already yours.”

“That was different.” He shakes his head. “You didn’t have a choice then.”

“And now?”

Cillian brushes his lips over me, and I lose myself in the closeness of him. “Now you made yourself mine on your own. And no matter what happens, I’m not letting you go.”

Cillian

I’ve made a numberof bad decisions since taking over my father’s role, but the biggest is dragging the brunette goddess in my bed down this rabbit hole of revenge with me.

It sounded simple when I bid on her at the auction. I could piss off my enemy and then rip him apart limb by limb. I didn’t consider what it would do to the girl standing on the stage. Or the real reason I handed out a million dollars.

Those eyes.

That girl.

The moment I saw her I should have known she’d be the end of me. Her fire is so bright it sees past all my shadows.

She’s heard the rumors. She knows all the terrible things I’ve done. Still, she asked me to hold her. She askedme to ruin the only remaining parts of her that were pure. And as she sleeps, facing me with her head on the pillow, my chest hurts.

I don’t make promises to people when I might not be able to keep them. But I made one to her—to protect her, to keep her safe. A direct conflict with my goals in business. Distractions that make my vision cloudy. And now I can’t break them.

My phone lights up on the nightstand, and I lift it up to find the message I’ve been waiting for all night.

There’s only one thing that can drag me from my wife’s side when she’s just handed herself to me, and it’s this.
