My little pep talk seems to galvanise him.

Maybe the phraserich twathit a nerve, because he backs away enough to spin me around in his arms.

‘Look at me,’ he growls. ‘Does anything about me tell you I can’t handle giving you exactly what you need?’

Oh my God.

No, it certainly does not.

‘No,’ I squeak, putting my palms on his chest as I look him over in all his shirtless glory.

This man is beautiful. Just beautiful. It’s fair to say I have an eye for the dandies, the European playboys who live in London and summer in the Med. But never have I seen such a perfect example of the male form in all the virile splendour it’s meant to embody. Aide isbuilt. Rugged. Muscles for days. I’ve been ogling his huge fucking biceps, but seeing his abdomen laid bare for me is a pleasure beyond compare.

I called it the second I laid eyes on him, but the distribution of this guy’s body hair is actually weird. There’s the perfect, most even dusting of fine dark hairs over his impressive pecs, before it tapers down to dust a line between his finely delineated abs. Just like everything else about him, it’s flawless. And drool-inducing.

I allow my hands to roam over the curves of his pecs. His shoulders. Flat-out awe is probably written all over my face, but I’m past caring.

My admission earns me a little smile. ‘Let’s get you in the shower, sweetheart,’ he says softly, unbuttoning my cutoffs and backing away so he can slide them down my legs. I wiggle an ankle to kick them off and watch with gratification at his face as he takes in my teeny hot pink Agent Provocateur thong.

‘Fuck,’ he grits out. ‘You been wearing that all day?’

‘Ialwayswear sexy underwear,’ I purr. ‘Except when overbearing dickheads buy me ugly bras.’

He shoots me a look that’s supposed to be ominous and is instead profoundly sexy. ‘Take it off, sweetheart.’

There’s something in his voice—barely controlled frustration and desire—that has me shivering. I hook my thumbs into the thong and lower it till I can step out of it. His once-over of my naked body is searing.

He finds my gaze again and holds the most intense eye contact as he unbuckles his belt, biting down on his full lower lip as he does. He takes out the battered wallet from earlier, rummaging behind his wad of notes for a strip of condoms, which he throws on the vanity.

‘Good thinking,’ I croak. I’m glad someone has it together enough to think about practicalities. Also, this presumably means he’s planning on fucking me in the shower, which is truly excellent news.

Then his trousers are off, and he’s standing in front of me in nothing but that blessed cross and some tight black Boss boxer briefs. Best of all, the crown of his dick is making a break for freedom and peeking out of the waistband. It’s shiny and purple andangry. There’s even a bead of moisture pearled at the top.

Good.

I want it to be angry. I want to tease him and rile him and piss him off until he can’t take any more and he wedges that angry dick so far inside me I’ll never be the same again.

It’s too prettily angry to resist. I reach out and daintily swipe at the moisture with my index finger before sucking it into my mouth. Mmm. Aide inhales sharply at the touch before staring at me with what looks like awed disbelief.

I wiggle my eyebrows and suck on my finger.

He bends and pushes his boxers down and I eye his cock shamelessly as it springs proudly free.

Fucking hell.

It shouldn’t come as any surprise given the general physical perfection level of this guy, but that thing’s a beast.

I was right about that Big Dick Energy of his.I knew it.

God, it’s going to fill me up so well. My mouth is watering already.

‘Wow,’ I tell him. ‘You arehuge.’

‘Get in the fucking shower, Lotta,’ he says wearily.

I’ve already broken him.

I make for the shower, and he follows right behind me. As soon as we hit the torrent, he tugs me around the waist and spins me around, crushing me to him so that gorgeous dick of his jerks between us. The water cascades over us, soaking our bodies so our moves are slick.
