She twisted, fought for a deeper touch.

"What do you want, Kira?"

"Now," she moaned. "I want you now."

"What do you want now, baby?" he crooned, his guttural voice rougher, deeper than ever. "Come on, tell me what you want."

"Take me, Ian." Desperation laced her cry. "Now. Please."

"What am I taking? Tell me what you want me to take." He breathed the words over her clit, striking shards of sensation through it as she fought to breathe through the additional pleasure. Agonizing pleasure. A pleasure so intense, so overwhelming, it unraveled her to her soul.

"Me," she cried out. "Take me."

"All of you, Kira?" He asked the question, his lips formed the words and stroked over her clit, ricocheted through her womb. "Which part of you? Just this sweet pussy? Or is there more of you?"

Was there more of her? Did she need

more? Did she want more?

"Don't stop." She forced her eyes open, staring down her body as he rose between her thighs, her hips lifting, her voice beseeching as his lips touched her stomach before he rose to his knees. "Please don't stop."

"What part of you belongs to me, Kira?" He came over her, one hand framing her face as his lips touched hers, his gaze holding hers. "What part of you do I take?"

She needed more. More than she had ever needed before.

"All of me." She felt the first tear fall. "Take all of me."

Kira felt the defenses she had worked all her life to build unravel inside her as Ian took her lips in a kiss that burned through her like white-hot flames.

She was lost in him. Out of control. Undulating beneath his heavier, sweat-dampened body, she fought for skin-on-skin contact. The feel of his chest hair rasping her nipples, his hard abdomen pressing against hers. Powerful thighs holding her legs apart, the broad head of his cock tucked against the swollen folds of her pussy.

So close. She could feel the hard, throbbing crest against her sensitive flesh. The heat of it drove her insane. The sense of thickness, of iron-hard strength, had her pussy clenching in agonizing hunger.

"Don't cry." His eyes burned in his dark face as he leaned to her once again and kissed the tear from her cheek before whispering, "It's okay, baby. You have all of me too."

And the last threads broke free. Something tightened then shifted inside her chest.

"I love you." The words tore from her lips.

She ground her head into the pillow beneath her. Oh God, she hadn't just said that. Those words hadn't passed her lips.

"No." She stared into his surprised gaze, frozen, unable to believe those words, those emotions were tearing from her as she closed her eyes and felt her breath hitch.

Then Ian moved. She felt his erection nudge against her, bury inside her an inch, draw back, then with a hard lunge he was buried full length inside her.

Fear evaporated. There was nothing now but the pleasure and the emotions. They merged, whipped inside her, and drew her to a peak of pleasure she hadn't imagined possible.

"Look at me." He stilled inside her. Buried to the hilt, thick and hard, throbbing inside her. "Look at me, Kira."

"Don't. Don't do this." She shook her head. "Finish it. Finish it, Ian."

She couldn't handle it. Sensation exploded through her. The ripples of exquisite pleasure were too much. Not quite ecstasy, but so close to ecstasy. And it was only building. Rising and burning.

"Look at me, Kira." He held her hips still as she fought to move. "Look at me, baby."

His voice was tortured, hoarse. Kira forced her eyes open and stared into the dark fire of his eyes.

"Take me now," he snarled, his expression hard, savage. "Take all of me now."
