He smiled wolfishly down at me.

“As my thief commands,” he said, dipping a minute bow before one hand raised to begin unbuckling his shoulder plate.

As he divested himself of his armor, I reached around, trying to undo the laces at my lower back, but in my eagerness ended up tangling them more.

“Allow me,” Rake offered in a husky tone. Shirtless and clad only in pants, he stepped to my back and began undoing the laces. Once the ties were loosened, the dress dropped to the floor, leaving me in only the thin lacy slip that sat low around my waist. He cursed and his warm breath fanned across the now exposed skin of my shoulder. My breathing hitched as he cupped my breasts from behind.

His large hands felt exquisitely rough and male against my softer flesh, and I curled an arm up to grasp behind his neck as he played with my nipples.

“Turn around,” he commanded in my ear, and I reluctantly obeyed, enjoying what his hands were doing to me too much to resist.

No sooner had I done so than he dropped to his knees, and his warm mouth was around my nipple.

“Rake!” I gasped as he suckled hard. Fiery jolts of pleasure sang through me with each pull as his hand returned to playing with my other nipple. The sensations he created in me were overwhelming—something I had only ever felt with him.

After several minutes, when I was wet and breathless, Rake’s mouth moved from my breasts as he stood. He kissed me briefly on the lips before pulling back to stare into my eyes, his gaze studying me closely.

“I should have asked you this before now . . . but have you done this before?”

I took a deep breath before answering, trying to ignore the flood of emotions his touch awakened in me. “Once,” I whispered. But it had felt nothing like this. Not even close. “It wasn’t anything special, so I didn’t have any desire to try it again. Until you.”

A slow, devastating grin spread across his face. “Good. I’ll admit I’m selfish enough to want all your experiences to be with me. To want all your desire to be for me and only me.” He leaned close. “I intend to make you crave this—to crave me—until you can think of nothing else.” The utter confidence in his words made my knees go weak, and the look of sheer heat and wicked intent on his face made my stomach flutter and clench.

I bit my lip and caressed his chin with my knuckles. “I already do. You’re all I want.”

We stared at each other, so much present yet unsaid in the air between us. He kissed my palm and then my wrist, surprising me with the gentleness of the actions. When our mouths found each other again, the kiss was slower, deeper. His strong arms tensed as he lifted me into his arms and carried me over to his bed, not breaking the kiss. He slowly lowered me to the bed and followed me down until he was crouching over me.

His teeth grazed my skin as he began kissing along my neck and down between my breasts. His mouth caressed my navel then laved along my hipbone as he tugged the slip down and off, so I was completely bare before him.

He wasted no time in spreading my legs wide. His hot gaze traveled over me, his expression almost ruthless with lust. My whole body throbbed at that look. The feral intent there made my whole body feel alive. Then he leaned down and devoured me. I gasped at the erotic pleasure of it. His mouth and tongue skillfully explored me, invading my body until my vision blurred and I couldn’t breathe. My hips began jerking involuntarily, pressing further into him as a finger and then two joined his mouth.

I writhed on the bed, reveling in the stretch and pull as his hand moved in me. It felt incredible, even more amazing than the last time he had done this. It wasn’t long before my whole body tensed, and my eyes rolled back in my head as waves of pleasure crashed through me.

“Hmm,” he hummed in approval. Licking his lips, he crawled back over me as my body trembled with aftershocks, my breathing erratic.

At some point he had removed his pants and was now completely naked as he rested on top of me. I basked in the weight of his hard, much larger body as he pressed me down into the mattress. His mouth descended on mine, and I opened for him, granting him access. I tasted myself on his lips as our tongues danced, and he ground against me, his hard shaft sliding along my wetness and making me breathless with anticipation. I had wanted this for so long. Stretching up I sucked on his lower lip and felt him jerk against me.

He lined his body up with mine. “Open your eyes,” he rasped in a dark whisper. “I want you to look at me.”

I hadn’t even realized they were closed. Slowly, I opened them, unconsciously responding to the order in his voice. Our eyes met, and his gleamed with blinding hunger and fiery intent.

He entered me in one smooth thrust, and my body arched against his as I cried out. Despite all he had done to prepare me, a slight edge of pain mixed with the pleasure as my body stretched to accommodate him. He was big, and I had only done this once before, a long time ago.

He waited, his hard body tense above mine, allowing me time to adapt to his size. “Breathe, little thief,” he murmured, nuzzling my cheek. One large hand gripped the side of my neck and slid partially into my hair while the other supported his weight above me. He continued to suck and nip and tease at my skin until I let out a long sigh and felt my body slowly begin to relax. He lowered himself further onto me, making my sensitive nipples graze against his chest. I gasped at the sharp pleasure the friction caused and felt my internal muscles clutch around him.

Rake cursed. “You test a man’s control. Do that again and this might be over a lot sooner than either of us want,” he warned.

I giggled slightly at the unexpected admission . . . and clenched around him again—intentionally this time.

He swore again and gritted his jaw. He stared down at my smiling face as a wicked gleam entered his eyes. “Minx,” he growled.

His mouth fell on mine in another devastating kiss that made me forget my own name and fanned the desperate hunger inside me.

Without warning, he pulled out and slammed back into me with a hard thrust. I moaned into his mouth as he slowly increased the pace. My legs circled his hips. We fit together perfectly, and I felt drunk on the sensations he created inside me.

“You feel so good,” I groaned, raising my arms above my head, and clutching the blankets. The sensation that was becoming more and more familiar since meeting Rake began to coil deep in my core, everything in my body tensing in a desperate, feverish pull.

“You’re mine, Rin,” he grunted against my mouth. “Every part of you.”
