“Like I’m giving you a chance to change your mind,” I grunted.

She yawned, rubbing her eyes. “And why would I do that?”

“Because I was a dick to you.”

Her eyes flicked up to mine in surprise. “You’re admitting that?”

“Of course I am,” I said, pulling her under the stream of water with me. “I would be a fool if I didn’t.”

“Um…this is new territory for me. No man has ever admitted to being…”

She dragged it out, obviously wondering if I was going to say it. I didn’t let her down. “Wrong. Yes, I was wrong. And I’m sorry.”

“Wow,” she said, staring at me like an enigma. “Admitting you’re wrong and saying you’re sorry. Are you okay?”

“Why wouldn’t I be?”

“Because no man ever says he’s sorry. I mean, it’s like pulling teeth to even—”

I slanted my lips over hers and kissed her hard. She moaned as I slid my hand between her legs and played with her pussy. “I’m not your typical man,” I said, nipping at her ear. “It takes a real man to confess to a woman that he did something stupid.”

She gasped as I pulled at her clit.

“It takes a real man to see that the woman in front of him deserves honesty from him.”

“God, this is like porn,” she moaned. “Tell me more.”

“Like what?” I asked, sucking on her neck. “What do you want to hear?”

“Tell me how you feel about me.”

It was a trap—a very well laid out trap, but hell if I wasn’t going to walk into it. “I feel like I need you in my life. I feel like this whole thing is crazy.” I slid my hand up to her hip, hiking her leg around my waist. “You keep stealing shit, and I don’t understand that.” My cock was already hard and weeping for her. I pushed her against the wall and slid deep inside her. “And you scare the crap out of me when you’re around anyone dangerous. I’m terrified that one of these days, you’re going to find yourself around someone that isn’t as nice as you want them to be, and it’s gonna get you killed.”

She gasped as I thrust deep inside. Her eyes locked on mine, staring at me like she finally understood me. “And you won’t be able to handle letting me down.”

I shook my head slowly. If something happened to her, I would never forgive myself. If I couldn’t do this one thing, what was the point of having all these skills? Keeping her safe was all that mattered.

“And what happens when we go home?”

“That depends. Are you coming home with me?”

Her eyes fluttered closed as I drove inside her over and over again. I would fuck her into submission if I needed to. “I think this is a conversation for when you’re not inside me.”

I grabbed her by the hips and hoisted her up against the wall. She clung to me as I fucked her harder and harder. Her back slid up and down the wall with every thrust. If she didn’t want to agree to this now, I’d make sure she was so fucking tired there would be no further discussion about it.

“Eli!” she shouted as she clenched around my cock. Her fingers dug into my shoulders, but if she thought she was going to stop me, she was sorely mistaken.

I had some serious misgivings about this whole situation with Eli. People didn’t just announce their feelings like that, especially men. And I didn’t miss how he was trying to stop me from asking more questions by fucking me even harder, making me come three more times before he let me out of the shower. That man could go for hours if I let him. Thankfully, he gave my body a rest about the same time someone banged on our door.

“Wait here,” he murmured, kissing me on the lips before exiting stage right.

Yeah, like there was an option for me other than staying here. My hips were aching from his brutal thrusts, and my legs were shaking, barely holding me up.

“Sure, no problem,” I muttered after the door shut.
