Page 61 of A Dangerous Proposal

Pieces of the vase cascaded over the wall. The edge was gone from her anger, but Madison could still feel her heart pumping too hard, her blood hot in her veins.

“How are you feeling now?”

“Still really fucking agitated,” Madison admitted, looking around the room, “But it looks like I’m out of things to break.”

“Then scream.”

“You said I’d get a disease from the pillow.”

Alex’s gaze met hers, and heat flooded between her legs. “Scream as loud as you want, Angel. It won’t bother me.”

“I can think of something I’d rather do.”

Madison didn’t wait for him to respond. Her fingers curled into the front of his shirt, yanking him forward. Their mouths collided in a brutal, searing kiss making her light-headed. The taste of him mixed with the anger still rushing through her body was almost too much. Every nerve in her body lit up as his lips claimed hers, rough and demanding.

Alex let her take control for a heartbeat before his grip tightened on her hips, his fingers digging into her flesh through her jeans. Her body molded to his as he pulled her flush against him, the hard ridge of his arousal pressing insistently into her stomach.

Her breath hitched when his teeth grazed her lower lip. A tiny sting that sent a spark of need straight to her core.

“Careful, Angel,” Alex rasped against her mouth. His hand slid up to cup her neck, his thumb tracing her fluttering pulse. He forced her chin up, his stormy eyes locking onto hers. “I’m not feeling gentle right now.”

“Good.” Her nails scraped down his chest, and Madison tugged his shirt free from his waistband, popping buttons as her fingers moved with desperate urgency. “Neither am I.”

With a wicked smile, he dragged his thumb across her lower lip. “Then get on your knees.”

Madison trembled as the words sent a shock of raw desire ricocheting through her. Without hesitation, she sank to her knees on the soft rug in front of the desk, her fingers already working to unfasten his belt. The metallic clink echoed in the quiet room as she tugged it free.

Her palms skimmed his hips, and the heat of his body burned through the fabric of his pants. Pushing up his loose shirt, she traced the intricate lines of ink along his lower abdomen, his muscles tensing beneath her touch.

He sucked in a breath as she placed a soft kiss just above his boxer-briefs before pulling him free. Savoring how touching him made her feel, Madison wrapped her hand around him, stroking slowly.

Alex groaned, his fingers tangling in her hair. “Open for me, Angel.”

Madison parted her lips, her tongue swirling around the tip before taking him deeper. His groan turned into a gutturalgrowl, vibrating through his chest as his hips jerked forward involuntarily.

“Beautiful,” Alex rasped, his voice thick and raw. “So fucking beautiful.”

She glanced up, meeting his gaze. His normally intense eyes were half-lidded, his jaw clenched tight as he fought to maintain control. The sight of him nearly undid her. Her core throbbed and her own pulse raced as she reveled in the power over him. Her ability to reduce this powerful, dangerous man to this.

Alex’s chest heaved, his grip in her hair growing almost painfully tight. Abruptly, he pulled back. “Up. Now.”

His voice was rough, the command sending a thrill straight down her spine. Before she could catch her breath, he hauled her to her feet, his hands already working the button on her jeans. The denim scraped down her legs, her panties going with them in one swift movement as she kicked them away.

Lifting her onto the edge of the desk, the cool surface against her bare thighs contrasted sharply with the burning heat radiating from his body. Madison’s heart pounded as she heard the crinkle of foil, and then felt the hard press of him between her legs.

“You still want to scream, Angel?” Alex’s breath was warm against her ear, and she whimpered. His teeth grazed her earlobe before biting down just hard enough to make her shiver.

“I hope you do. Because I want to hear you. I want everyone in this building to know exactly who you belong to.”

A shudder tore through her at his words, and before she could respond, he thrust into her, hard and deep. Madison gasped, her fingers scrambling for purchase on the edge of the desk as he set a brutal pace.

His body drove into hers, every stroke sending waves of pleasure radiating through her. Alex banded an arm around her back holding her in place. Madison slid her hands up his chest,over his shoulders, and around his back, nails digging in as she clung to him. She could feel the muscles in his back flexing beneath his shirt with every powerful thrust.

“Alex. Oh my god.” Madison gripped his biceps, desperate to ground herself. “It’s too much. I can’t.” She gasped, as he changed the angle, and bright flashes of light appeared in her vision as her body clamped hard around him.

Her breath coming in ragged gasps, she bit her lip, trying to stifle the cries building in her throat.

“No,” he growled, his hand fisting in her hair again, tugging her head back so she was forced to meet his gaze. “Let them hear you, Angel. Scream for me.”
