“By which time, we will be long gone.”

“Exactly.” I smirk back at him. “Aren’t you glad I dropped out of Blackwater to be your partner in crime?”

“You’re my partner ineverything, not just crime.”

“Aww, aren’t you sweet.”

Mischief glitters in his golden eyes. “And besides, you sucked at everything back at Blackwater and failed every class, so they practically begged me to take you off their hands.”

“Watch it, asshole.” I narrow my eyes at him, but can barely suppress the amusement in my voice. “Don’t forget I’m the one with the poison.”

He holds up his hands and flashes me a sly smile. “Except now, I have it too.” Before I can retort, he chuckles and then jerks his chin. “When we get back to the hotel, I will be showing you exactly how glad I am that you dropped out of Blackwater to be my partner in crime. But for now, get your ass up on that counter.”

I raise my eyebrows at him. “Why?”

“Because we need a plausible excuse for why we’ve been in this bathroom for so long. So I want you to look freshly fucked when we walk back into that gala.”

Heat ripples through my stomach at his words and at the look in his eyes.

After putting the poison and the rest of my equipment back into my small purse, I brace my palms on the white marble counter and lift myself up so that I’m sitting on it with my legs dangling over the edge.

“Pull your dress up, princess,” Eli orders.

I curl my fingers in the smooth green silk and slowly slide the skirt of my dress up my legs until it’s bunched around my waist.

Desire flares to life in Eli’s eyes as his gaze travels up my bare legs. Then something flickers across his face as he reaches my pussy. “No panties.”

His words are both question and statement and accusation all rolled into one.

I just grin back at him in challenge.

“How am I supposed to concentrate on my mission now that I know you’re walking around next to me with no fucking panties on?” Eli demands, his voice a low growl.

My grin widens. “I don’t see how that’s any of my problem. My part of this mission is already done.”

“Oh, the things I will do to you when we’re back at the hotel.”

A thrill races down my spine.

“Spread your legs,” Eli commands.

Adjusting my position on the counter, I lean back on my elbows and spread my legs wide for him. His eyes darken. My heart skips a beat at the sight.

Even after an entire year, Eli’s feelings for me still haven’t dimmed in the slightest. In fact, they seem to grow stronger every day. Every time he looks at me, his breath catches a little and his eyes pulse with both insatiable lust and unending love. It’s an incredible sight.

I suck in a gasp as Eli drops to his knees and draws his tongue over my pussy. He chuckles, making his warm breath caress my sensitive skin. A shudder rolls through my body as Eli swirls his tongue around my clit before taking it into his mouth.

Pleasure washes through me, and I let out a moan.

Leaning back, I rest the back of my head against the mirror behind me. The pleasure inside me grows as Eli rolls my clit between his lips and then slides his tongue down to my entrance.

A whimper spills from my mouth, and I curl my fingers on the cold marble as he pushes his tongue inside me.

Closing my eyes, I breathe deeply through my nose as he licks and sucks and nips at my clit and my throbbing pussy until I feel as though my brain is going to explode. Tension thrums inside me, begging to be released.

“Oh, fuck,” I gasp out, my thighs clenching and my pussy aching with need. “Eli.”

He swirls his tongue around my clit again.
