It’s just us.

The tension crackles so thick, so sharp, sounbearablethat I almost stumble. I feel feverish, my breath shallow, my skin flushed -

My thoughts too chaotic to pin down.

I shouldn’t like this.

I shouldn’t be following him.

I shouldn’t be desperate for whatever’s about to happen next.

The air is cool, but it does nothing to soothe the heat rolling over my skin. My nerves are alive, each breath shallow as he walks us towards a door at the very end.

He swipes a keycard and the door clicks open. Then, before I even register what’s happening -

I’m pinned.

Hard.

His hands slam against the door beside my head, trapping me,crowdingme. His body is all heat and power and sheer dominance as he cages me in.

My fingers clenching into fists by my sides, my entire body stiffening as his scent overwhelms me - sharp, masculine and intoxicatinglyhim.

He’s so fucking close.

Too close, even.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck.

His chest almost brushes against mine as his hard, solid body moves slightly forwards. The hard, solid length of him presses between my thighs, igniting a violent, impossible-to-ignore spark of electricity between us.

My lips part, and my mind screams at me to be angry - to fight back, to shove him away, to say something sharp and scathing.

But my body?

My body remembers.

The exact way he felt the last time he had me like this, on the yacht.

Pinning me to the door. Dominating me. Taking what he wanted.

Giving me everything I didn’t even know I needed.

The memory floods my senses, making my head spin, making my lungs collapse, making my entire fucking body react before my mind catches up.

A sharp, involuntary whimper escapes my lips before I can stop it, and his mouth curves into a cocky, knowing smirk.

Bastard.

He knowsexactlywhat I’m thinking about.

His body presses closer, his heat licking over my skin like wildfire, his voice dangerously low, rough with something I can’t name when he murmurs against my ear.

"You’ve got quite the attitude today,mon ange."
