But I couldn’t, and I wouldn’t. The idea that another man had been inside her was making me crazy. I needed to claim her—allof her. Quickly disrobing, I leaned forward so that I was in between her legs. I needed release, badly.

She was breathing so hard, looking up at me with those innocent eyes. No, they weren’t innocent—they were far from innocent. Aria spread her legs for me as I grabbed my throbbing shaft and shoved it inside with one forceful thrust. I skipped foreplay and went straight to penetration because the wolf inside of me desired it. She screamed as soon as I buried myself in her. And that’s when the crushing reality hit me hard. She wasn’t lying, I had trespassed forbidden territory and ripped through that curtain of flesh that separated girl from woman. No longer was her chastity intact, I had carelessly destroyed it. My whole body was quivering in so much pleasure that I could hardly breathe.

“Oh, fuck me—you’re so tight!” I panted while I slowly stretched the walls of her vulnerable opening. It was too late to stop and turn back. I needed to take her.

“Noah, it hurts,” she whimpered, tears filling her eyes.

The wolf within backed away, satisfied with his conquest as the man emerged from behind him, taking control over the beast. I lowered my lips and tenderly kissed her face while I gently moved in and out of her tight, slick entrance. She locked her arms around my neck, pressing her soft, warm lips against mine. They felt so familiar, and the sensation was only making me desire her more. Aria parted her sensuous mouth, inviting my tongue inside as I took her, drinking her soul in a heated kiss.

“Don’t you … [kiss] … dare … [kiss] … leave me … [kiss] … Aria.” I kissed her with unrelenting passion, biting and tugging on her lower lip before devouring her with my powerful thrusts. If this was sin, then we were sinking in it like quicksand.

She held my face and stared into my eyes so seductively that I was sure I would explode any second.

“Noah …harder.”

I couldn’t resist any longer. That magic word was all it took to unleash my darkest half from its cage so that it could satisfy her forbidden request. The only sound that could be heard was her voice crying out in pain and pleasure as I filled her to the hilt, thrusting harder and faster. It was the most erotic pleasure I had ever felt in my life. She was going to be an addiction that I wouldn’t be able to kick. The rushing high that I felt rivaled any drug-induced high I had ever experienced in the past. There was no way to rehabilitate myself after this. I would only want more and more, like a junkie addicted to methamphetamine. She was going to be the death of me.

Her quick, shallow breaths felt hot against my skin as she dug her nails in my back and rocked her hips into me. I hid my face in the crook of her neck, groaning in pleasure and biting on her shoulder.

“You feel so good inside me.” She moaned. “Don’t stop. Please don’t stop.”

“Are you on the pill?” Fuck, I was getting close.

“No.”

“Shit—I need to pull out.”

“No, don’t! I want to know what it feels like to have you … inside me.”

Oh, fuck, I wanted nothing more than that.

“Baby, if I don’t, I’ll get you …”

“I don’t care.”

Fuck, fuck, fuck!I was ready to shoot wave after wave and flood her so that once she’d stand up, everything would drip out of her pretty little …

“You belong in me.”

She read my mind.

“What are you doing to me?” I pulled back and stared into her eyes. Her cheeks were flushed, and there was perspiration around her forehead. She revealed a smirk and wrapped her arms around my neck to pull me forward and lick my lips. I caught the tip of her tongue and sucked it back before she could tease me. I kissed her with no restraint now. Our mouths moved in unison while I supported my weight above her. This was wrong. It was so wrong, but it felt so good, and it felt so right.

“Tell me you love me, Noah.”

“I do,” I said between kisses. “I fucking do, so much.” I picked up my rhythm, ignoring all the risks I was taking.

Her pleasurable cries never stopped, as I worked toward my release. And just as I was about to come, I heard my cellphone ring. Ignoring it seemed impossible because it sounded like it was ringing right next to my ear.

What the fuck?

“Oh God, Noah …” Aria softly moaned, making me crazier. I was about to take her over the edge with me when the ringing started again.

“Do you hear that?”

“Hear what?”

“The ringing.”
