My heartbeat picked up. She was feeling something too. And she was scared.

“To be safe from heartbreak?” I asked.

She nodded.

“So, you took the first exit you could?” I asked again.

She was breathing fast, her chest rising and falling rapidly.

“What’s your exit plan now?” I asked, stepping closer. One moment later, I was crowding her, breathing in her scent.

Her eyes widened, and she took a step back. “Sean,” she whispered in a warning.

“What is it, baby?” I asked, placing a finger on her chin and tipping it up to look directly into her eyes. She couldn’t ignore me now.

“I’m afraid,” she said, taking another step back.

“Of me?” I asked.

“No.” She shook her head, holding my gaze. “Of falling for you.”

It was too late for me.

“Go ahead and fall. You’re safe with me,” I said, wrapping an arm around her waist and drawing her closer to me.

Her soft body pressed against mine, and my own body reacted with a jolt. Her presence drove me crazy. Until now, I’d thought it was lust. But I finally knew better.

“You’ll destroy me,” she whispered as I rubbed my thumb on the outline of her lips. Tracing those deeply sensual, full lips.

“I’d kill myself before I let anyone destroy you,” I whispered. “Including me.”

She sucked in a sharp breath, and before I knew it, I was crushing my lips to hers, and she was climbing on top of me. It was madness, how we couldn’t keep our hands off each other.

I kissed her lips, her chin, and her neck, biting and sucking at a tender spot while she threw her head back.

“Oh, Sean,” she said with a sharp intake of breath while I hitched her legs up around my hips while greedily kissing every part of her that I could.

Her lips parted as I kissed her fervently, desperately.

I needed this woman like I needed air, and I couldn’t understand it.

I walked over to her bed and dropped her onto it.

She looked at me with obvious desire and longing before she cast a sideways glance at the bedroom door.

“We can’t, Sean. Even if I want to do this so badly, there’s no way I could keep quiet?—”

I bent down, grazing my fingers down her body as I slowly reached her waistband. I pulled her pajamas off, pressing my lips to her belly. “There’s no way in hell I can back off now,” I muttered, tossing her pajamas aside as I ran my fingers up and down her newly exposed legs and thighs.

Her muscles clenched as I neared her core. I knelt down by the foot of her bed. I tightened my grip on her legs and pulled her to me.

“Not here, Sean,” she begged with another anxious glance at the door. “They’ll hear?—”

“I need to be with you right now, Chloe,” I pointed out, as my tongue found her sweet folds and began to tease her swollen clit. She was wet all right. “I can’t wait any longer, Chloe. To taste you, to be in you, to feel you come in my arms. Or else I’ll go mad.”

She gasped with ecstasy as I pressed down on her clit, and then her eyes fell shut as her lips parted while I circled one thumb on her sensitive core. She trembled, her fingers clutching my hair as I cupped her bottom.

She moaned devastatingly when I tongued her wet folds and circled her clit.
