“I wish I could,” he finished on a whisper. “This was totally fucking unexpected.”

“Agreed,” she whispered back.

“This never should’ve happened.”

“I didn’t trap you.”

“No, you captured me. You hold me hostage just the same.”

“If it bothers you so much, break free.”

He jerked against her. “That’s the fucking problem. I can’t. I cannot break free of you.”

Holy shit.“And you hate that.”

“I didn’t say that.”

“You might as well have,” she countered.

“I didn’t want to talk about this now.”

“I didn’t, either, butCrewwwwww…Ooo, damn,” she moaned when he dragged a finger back through her folds.

That wasn’t fair. Even so, she was back on board for skipping the conversation for now and going back to the foreplay and what happened afterward.

He dipped a finger inside of her, driving it all the way to the last knuckle.

Yep, her vote was for less words, more action.

And that action was gentle, a stark contrast to the spanking.

He dropped his head to wrap his lips around her nipple.

Pressing her head into his thigh, she arched her back to make it easier for him to reach her breast and pressed it deeper into his mouth, so he could give it the attention she desired. She spread her thighs enough to give him unfettered access and he took advantage of that by adding a second finger.

Her eyelids slid closed as he drove them in and out of her, no longer being gentle but being thorough.

When a whimper escaped her, her eyes opened in surprise and she noticed him watching her closely as he continued to suck her nipples, one and the other. Again, no longer gentle. Now with intensity and determination.

But it was when his thumb began to manipulate her clit that she lost all control of her own body and handed it over to him.

She was literally putty in his hands. Soft and pliable as he worked her.

And,fuck, he knew how to work her.

Grabbing her hair, he used it to pull her head up, crashing their mouths together in a deep kiss as he continued to relentlessly fuck her with his long fingers, curling and uncurling. Teasing that spot deep inside her as well as her clit.

They shared her moan as the tension built and a fire roared at her center. Growing and burning hotter by the second.

Then like sparks caught in a breeze, her orgasm blew through her. Searing her skin and melting her bones. Turning her to liquid.

It took her breath away as well as any doubts or concerns. Right now, the future did not exist.

She was only in the moment, twitching with every tiny aftershock as his fingers continued to glide in and out of her slowly. His lips moved across hers a couple more times before disappearing.

The man was a master manipulator. But in a good way.

A few moments later, she inhaled deeply to slow her pounding heart, to bring herself fully back to awareness. Lifting her heavy eyelids, she met his steel-gray eyes.
