She arched her back, pushing her pussy up for more, begging me to take her. I could feel her arousal coating my chest as I licked a path down to her clit. Fuck, just the scent of her drove me crazy. Closing my eyes, I inhaled, shoving my nose in her pussy like a mad motherfucker, desperate for his last hit.

“Touch me,” she begged, her fingers snaking down to link with mine.

I captured her middle finger between my teeth, biting gently and sucking her deep into my mouth as I laved my tongue around her. She shuddered, her legs squeezing around me with every lick and taste.

Groaning, I latched onto her pussy, sucking her sweet cream and worshiping her cunt. Fuck, there was nothing like having my face buried in her as she came on my tongue.

“Slider,” she panted. “More. I need more.”

A low growl ripped from me as I went in for another round, my lips sucking her clit as I slid two fingers inside her, curling them to hit the spot that set her on fire. She cried out, her nails clawing at me as I pumped inside her, fucking her hard as she writhed in my arms. I didn’t let up when she drew blood or when she begged me to stop. Tremors wracked her body and sobs poured from her lips, but I kept fucking her hard, preparing her for how I was going to take her when I sank my cock inside her.

With a choked gasp, she flung herself upright, grabbing onto my shoulders as she rode my face, chasing another orgasm. Just as she was spilling over the edge, I sat up and pulled her to me, shoving my cock deep inside her as she tightened around me, spasming so hard I could barely move.

As soon as the worst of the tremors passed, I let her fall back to the bed, keeping her hips glued to mine. With her pussy angled up toward me, I watched as my cock sank inside her, filling her so deep. I gripped her hips, keeping her ass in the air as I pulled out and then slammed back inside her. Cries tore from her beautiful lips as I took her hard and fast. I couldn’t control it, couldn’t stop myself from taking what I needed while she was laid out for me like a fucking goddess.

Her breasts bounced with every thrust and her fingers clawed at my arms. My jaw was locked tight as I chased my orgasm, feeling it pull me deeper and deeper inside her until I finally exploded, shouting as I came harder than I ever had before.

Ragged breaths filled the air as I dropped her legs and fell on top of her, careful not to crush her beneath my weight. Her armsdraped over my shoulders lazily as she tried and failed to hold onto me.

“I’ve gotcha, baby.” I rolled to the side and tugged her with me, keeping her tucked into me as her breathing slowly evened out. She was calming down, but my heart was ramping up just thinking about the next few hours and all that I stood to lose.

Brushing her hair back from her face, I knew what I had to do—what I needed so I didn’t fuck this up. She would be pissed as hell at me, but it was the only way I could function and keep her safe. Eventually, she’d understand. And by then, she’d probably want nothing to do with me.

But it would be better in the long run. I couldn’t afford to make any mistakes. She was the only thing that mattered. Not even the shreds of my tattered heart compared to what would happen if I didn’t do everything to protect her.

As soon as she passed out, I pulled away from her, knowing it would be harder to do if I waited until morning. It was time to put some distance between us and face the fact that I could no longer protect her the way I wanted. I had too much skin in the game. The stakes were too high, and the price was everything I’d built with her.

I was already showered and dressed by the time she rolled over and shot me that sexy, early-morning grin. I had hoped to already be out of the room when she woke up. It would make things easier on both of us if she didn’t expect me to kiss her and go for another round. As it was, I could pull away without making her too worried. After all, we were leaving in just a few hours. There was a ton of shit to do.

“Why are you out of bed already?” she rumbled, fumbling to reach me.

“I’ve gotta get to work. You should get up and get dressed,” I said, refusing to face her as I holstered my gun.

“Party pooper. After the way you woke me up this morning, I thought for sure you’d take me one more time before we left.” I heard the sheets rustle as she flung them off, and against my better judgment, I glanced over my shoulder, gritting my teeth as I let my eyes wander over her gorgeous curves.

“We don’t have time for that,” I croaked, willing my dick to leave me alone. Fuck, this was a bad time for him to get excited.

“Come give me a kiss,” she grinned, closing her eyes as she puckered up.

Dammit, it was shit like this that was going to get me in trouble. I leaned over and pressed a swift kiss to her lips, refusing to give her time to wind her arms around my neck and pull me in for more.

“That’s it?” she asked, almost sounding hurt that I didn’t give her what she wanted.

“Audrey, we’re leaving this morning and I have a lot to do. Believe me, I’d love to stay in bed with you, but I can’t concentrate if I’m not focused on the job.”

There. I said it. It was out in the open and she knew where I stood. I held my breath as I waited for her to give me some witty retort, but instead, she nodded and got out of bed.

“Okay.”

It was as simple as that. She shot me a wink and grabbed her clothes, pulling them on. It was too easy. There was no argument, no anger in her words. Which meant only one thing—she didn’t fucking understand what I was saying. I turned to her, determined to explain to her what I really meant, but with the happy look on her face and the way she hummed softly, I just couldn’t bring myself to ruin her day.

The door swung open and Spencer walked in as she pulled on her jeans. I rolled my eyes at his intrusive entrance, but I was used to it by now. There were absolutely no boundaries between these two. Where one went, the other followed. And since I wasabout to remove myself from the picture, it was better if I didn’t cause waves.

“I have to get to work,” I muttered, shoving my way out of the room.

I barely made it down the hall when I ran into FNG grinning at me as he sipped his coffee.

“Yeah, you did.”
