“Red…”
She hated, just plainhatedseeing the vulnerability in his eyes. “I’m good like this, Raff. Truly. And if I recall, last night you promised to kiss me all over, map every inch of my skin with your tongue. Explore every nook and cranny of my body, discover what drives me wild.Andyou promised me orgasms. Multiple orgasms, let me add. With your fingers and tongue,andthen with your cock.” She raised her eyebrows, issuing a challenge. “Were those just empty promises, Rafferty Lawson? Are you a wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am kinda guy, making idle boasts?”
He narrowed his eyes to mere slits. “A wham-bam …? Oh, Red, now you’ve sealed your fate. I’m gonna make your body sing.”
Inwardly fist bumping herself at the return of the burning intensity in his gaze, Brandy arched her torso. “Show me, cowboy,” she purred.

Oh, he’d show her all right.Rafferty launched his body over hers, boxing her in with his arms and legs, shaking off the remnants of an unwelcome memory. Right now, he had a beautiful woman at his mercy, a woman begging for his touch, and there was no time to dwell on his past and the reason he wanted Brandy-Lyn’s hands tied.
The woman he covertly craved for years was spread out beneath him, a veritable smorgasbord of delight waiting to be devoured. She had literally taken his breath away when her lips touched his cock. Within seconds he’d been ready to explode, but coming in her mouth was not what he wanted. He wanted to feel the warmth of her surrounding him, clenching him tight as she shattered. And then, only then, did he want to give in to his own release, filling her—
Aw, fuck. “Please tell me you have condoms,” he rasped.
Her eyes flared. “Didn’t cross my mind.”
Shit. Shit,fuck.
“I’ve an IUD and had my annual checkup several months ago. I trust you, Raff, and I’m good to go bare.”
His heart stuttered. She trusted him to take her bare. “I haven’t been with anyone since” — he swallowed, snuffing the memory ofher— “back in USA. Had a full workup then. I’m clean.”
Her lips curved into a smile. “Obstacle overcome.”
“Red …” He trailed off, words failing him.
“Make love to me, Rafferty,” she whispered.
“Yes, ma’am,” he replied, equally softly, bending his elbows, keeping himself aloft, but only just.
Rafferty dipped his head and placed his mouth where her neck joined her shoulder. Her pulse fluttered beneath his lips, and she let out a whimper, her breath a warm gust against his ear. Arching her back, her breasts, those soft, cushiony, luscious tits of hers, pressed against his chest.
He groaned, making good on his promise, mapping her body with his lips and tongue. He brushed his mouth over the top of her breast, plumping it up with a hand, playing homage to her nipple until she moaned and writhed beneath his hold. His dick throbbed and strained, begging for release. He moved his mouth to the other breast, repeating his ministration, but kept his hand on the first, playing with the already sensitized bud.
“Argh,” she whimpered, bucking under him. “Raff. Raff. Please.Please.”
And he lost hold of his restraint. He lifted his upper body and moved between her legs, hooked the right one over his shoulder, and took hold of his dick. It took everything in him to hold still and meet her eyes. “Red?”
She nodded and bucked her hips. “Now, Rafferty.”
He stared at her, splayed open for him, inviting him in.
And knew. Just knew. Deep down in his soul, heknew.
This … This would change everything.
Thiswas what he’d been running from for months …
Foryears.
Thiswoman.
She was his.
Ordained to mate with him since the beginning of time.
Rafferty’s gaze traveled over her body.
