She folds her arms under her cheek, watches me with those large green eyes. And something inside me, knotted for so long, seems to dissolve. Break. Disappear like it never existed. But that’s a lie. I am marked, tainted by my past. She still has her future ahead of her. And here I am…taking everything she’s offering, snatching up what she doesn’t, demanding that she give herself to me. For what? So I can stain her with the same brush that painted me? So my mistakes will taint her?

I grip her arse cheeks, pry them apart. "Let me in, Eve."

She swallows and her breathing speeds up.

"I won’t stop until I have taken you, marked you everywhere he has."

She bites down on her lower lip and my cock twitches. I tilt my hips, push forward, sink in another millimeter. She thrusts her hips back, and I push past the tight ring of her sphincter. A groan bleeds from her lips. My belly clenches. Heat grips me and sweat slides down my back. I release her butt, only to grab her hips and pull. "Up, on your hands and knees," I snap.

She pushes up as I pump forward, and sink inside her channel. A growl rips from me. I lean over her, press a kiss to her shoulder. "You okay, babe?"

She shudders.

"Tell me you’re okay, Eve, that you want me to continue."

She hunches her shoulders.

"Eve?"

She nods.

"Say that you want me to continue."

"I…" she gulps, "I want you to fuck my arse."

Thank fuck.

I lean over, kiss the side of her neck. Bring my arm around her waist as I press my mouth to her shoulder, the damp skin between her shoulder blades. "You’re fucking gorgeous, you know that? You’re the kind of woman I never thought I’d meet."

"You don’t have to be nice to me." She chuckles. "You’re already in my arse."

I laugh. "That mouth of yours." I reach up and nuzzle her hair. "I fucking love it."

"And I love...” She gasps. “Uh, I think I am falling for you."

"Wait, what did you say?" I pause. "Repeat yourself."

"It was nothing." She turns her head in my direction. "Honestly, just a slip of the tongue."

I frown. "It didn’t seem that way, from where I am."

"No, Baron, really, it’s just… You know…" She raises a shoulder. "Just ignore me."

I glare at her. "Don’t you dare develop feelings for me, Eve."

She half smiles. "What would you do if I did?"

"I’ll..." I begin to withdraw and she reaches down between us and grabs my balls. She squeezes and my thigh muscles spasm. "Fuck."

"Exactly." She massages me, tugs on my balls. She handles them like they belong to her… Like I belong to her…Fuck... No, no, no.What the hell am I thinking? This can’t happen. She can’t fall for me…and I… Fuck me… I am already half-way in love with her. I knew I was developing feelings for her, but love? Fucking love. What is that about?

She tugs on my balls, drags her hands up to where my dick is still embedded inside her. She circles her hips, begins to move, and heat races out from the point of contact. I wrap my fingers about her hips, pull out, then thrust in. She releases me, plants her hands on the bed, and thrusts out her butt. This woman... She’s going to kill me with her openness, her willingness, her surrender to me… How she accepts me into her body, her heart… How she can bare her soul and share her deepest feelings. If only I could be half as open as that… Perhaps, we could have a future. And when she had laughed earlier... I could have sworn she was the same woman I'd seen on the railway platform not too long ago.

And yet, I can't share my past with her. Can't give her everything she deserves. Not when my secrets hold me back. Not when everything inside me tells me I need to find a way out before things get more complicated. Just for one night though, I can hold her, cherish her, fuck her like she is mine, love her like she is the only one for me.

And then when you leave her? What's she going to do then? Are you going to break her heart like that asshole Edward did?

But she loves Ed. She doesn't feel anything close enough for me. She did say that she thinks she’s falling for me. After almost saying she loves me... which is precisely why I need to leave in the morning, before things become more complicated.
