“Look at me,” I command gently. “You’re the sexiest, most incredible woman on this earth, and I'm going to prove it to you.”
 
 She nods breathlessly, locking eyes with me. I plunge deep, savoring her gasp, the exquisite sensation of being buried to the hilt inside her warmth.
 
 We move together seamlessly, her legs wrapping around my hips, holding me close. Our bodies surge, rhythmic and intense, passion rising hot and fierce. I kiss her mouth, her face, her throat.
 
 “You feel like heaven,” I tell her, my voice husky. “Everything about you is perfect. You're all I want. All I need.”
 
 She moans, clutching me tighter. “Yes. God, please don't stop.”
 
 “I couldn't if I tried,” I promise her, driving deeper, pushing us both to the edge. “Come for me, baby. Come knowing exactly how much you turn me on.”
 
 She shatters beneath me, arching beautifully. Her orgasm drags me under, fierce and powerful, and I finish deep inside her with a ragged growl, pulse hammering against hers.
 
 We collapse together, bodies tangled, breathing harsh. I cradle her close, gently smoothing damp curls away from her face. Tenderness washes over me, stronger than I’m prepared for. My heart thuds painfully, an unfamiliar tightness blooming in my chest.
 
 I study her quietly as she catches her breath, eyes closed, utterly stunning in the aftermath of pleasure. I trace gentle fingers along her curves, marveling silently. There’s something more between us now than pure lust. Something deep and fierce, something dangerous.
 
 I never intended to fall for her. But in this moment, tangled together in my bed, I’m forced to confront the truth.
 
 I’ve never felt this way about anyone before. And it scares the living hell out of me.
 
 She opens her eyes slowly, her emerald gaze searching mine, soft and vulnerable. “Abram?” Her voice is hesitant, almost shy.
 
 “Hmm?” I murmur, unable to tear my eyes away from her.
 
 She bites her lip softly. “Did you mean all that? Everything you said?”
 
 I nod slowly, brushing my thumb gently along her jaw. “Every single word. You are incredible. Inside and out.”
 
 Her smile lights up the room. She snuggles closer, resting her head against my chest. I hold her tight, heart pounding.
 
 I don’t know exactly what this means, but I do know I don’t want to let her go. Whatever happens next, whatever chaos may come, I want her at my side.
 
 I tighten my arms around her, pressing a soft kiss to her temple.
 
 Maybe I am falling for her. Maybe it’s reckless, maybe it’s dangerous. But with Jenna warm and safe in my arms, it feels right.
 
 So damn right.
 
 CHAPTER 22
 
 JENNA
 
 One month later…
 
 The office is alive with activity.
 
 It’s barely past eight when I step into Abram’s office and he already looks delicious. Charcoal grey slacks, white shirt rolled up at the sleeves, top button undone, grey vest snug over his chest like it was custom-stitched for his body.
 
 He looks up from whatever document he’s destroying with that predator stare of his.. His mouth curves into something I’ve learned to translate as,good—you’re here. I need you.But he doesn’t say anything.
 
 I shoot him a smirk. “Good morning to you too, boss man.”
 
 He grunts, then motions for me to sit.
 
 “Two things from legal,” I say, clicking open my tablet. “One, our Nevada liquor license renewals for our food and drink properties are squared away through next year. And two, your signature’s needed on the zoning variance for the downtown property. I emailed it over, but the city’s asking for a hard copy.”
 
 Abram nods, already scribbling something down. “Have Julian handle the courier. I don’t want to babysit city paperwork.”
