“Are you sure?” I close my hands around his feeling nervous.

For some reason, I back away until I’m pressed against the closed door.

“Lennox...” Shane gently strokes my face. “Don’t be nervous. This is what I want. You. Now you can give yourself to me.”

I breathe raggedly as he presses his nose against the base of my throat. “I want this, too, Shane.”

I always did. I’m pinching myself.

“But I’m not rushing things,” Shane growls. “I’m savoring every moment. I want to study you and figure out what you like. I intend to fuck you every single night.”

“Even when...”

“You’re on your period?” He gazes at me. “Aye. I’ll claim you in the most primal way because you’re mine. Blood won’t stop me. Are you on birth control?”

Exhaling, I say, “I am. I got an implant a few years ago to regulate my cycle. I hope I can keep it for a while.”

“Of course. Keep it as long as you want. I wantyou, Lennox. All of you. To myself. I’m a selfish prick.”

Swallowing, I say, “You don’t want kids?”

Shrugging, he runs a finger along my collarbone. “Never thought about it. When you grow up in a large family the last thing you want is more people around.”

I giggle. “I guess. But you were youngest, weren’t you spoiled?”

“Hardly. There wasn’t much left for me at the end of the day.”

“You’re my only husband.” I drape my arms across his shoulders. “You’ll get all of my attention.”

“And you’ll have all of mine. Let’s make the most of each other. We have so much time to make up for.” He cups my breasts over the sheer nightgown. “The blood test results came back hours ago. We’re both clean. I want to take you bare. I want to feel your cunt get wet around my cock.”

I quiver, thinking I’m already wet. “I want that.”

“Fuck. I don’t know where to start. I want to bury myself so deep inside you, but I don’t want to rush. Or hurt you.”

“I don’t want to rush either.”

He grins. “I said me, not you. I’m going to use my mouth to make you come so many times, you’ll be sobbing for me to stop. I want to hear you roar, my lioness.”

I shiver. “Can you start by kissing me again?”

“My pleasure.” Shane presses his lips to mine with a wet, sensuous kiss.

A week ago, I stole a kiss from him and it was my whole world. All I thought I’d ever get. Now his kiss is the start of a night where I can have anything I want from him.

He tastes like mint and spice. His tongue swirls with mine, teasing me. “You taste so fucking good.”

“Shane,” I whimper.

His hands grip the straps of the nightgown and asecond later he rolls it down. “Show me, Lennox. Bare yourself to me. Your husband.”

The fabric slides down my body, and when the sheer nighty is pooled at my feet, Shane gently lifts each leg and shucks it away. I’m painfully aware of every naked inch he’s staring at.

“This is how I want you. Open. Exposed. Vulnerable. On the edge.”

Check. Check. Checkand...check.

“Now touch me.” He stands to his full height and opens his shirt more.
