Him.

On her.Against her.Inher.

He’d become way more than only her kidnapper, and the visceral chemistry in the bathroom suggested they were both aware of the transformation.

“Suck.”He pushed past her lips, his breath becoming labored as she took in the digits and did just that.

The hand at her chest snaked to her other breast, giving it the same attention, and sucking hungrily on his fingertips, she was ravenous for everything he had to offer.

“Sir.”She groaned around his fingers.“I want you.”

It was wrong to tell him so.

So fucking wrong.

Dangerously iniquitous.

Yet, after everything they’d been through, Hannah couldn’t see any reason not to be honest.Surely, he could tell her feelings, anyway?Her tightening buds and throaty mewls no doubt revealed her true inclination, and if he was to brush a fingertip over her sex, he’d know just how excited she was.

Not love.He wasn’t stupid enough to think she could love him, but something else and possibly equally strong—a toxic attachment that both of them had found impossible to break.That was the foundation of the kiss he offered—a promise, not to honor and respect her, but a vow to cherish and devour.

Drawing away from the warmth of her mouth, he nibbled lightly at her lower lip while her bound hands rose to his neck.She’d told him what she wanted, and it was time to deliver.
