“Oh god, yes!” She arched her back and I sank just a little deeper. “Just like that.”

I felt her quivering around my cock, and within seconds she was a wildfire, hot and out of control as pleasure coursed through her veins. Watching her was like watching a natural disaster, beautiful in its chaos and a little dangerous if you got too close.

“Dagger, yes!”

I fucked her through her orgasm, loving the way she pulsed around me, gripping me tight like a possessive lover. She kept moving, pushing back, fucking my cock as though she owned it.

Her plump ass cheeks were pure perfection, and I gripped them in my hands, holding them for leverage while I pumped into her until my balls pulled up tight and fire rushed up my spine. And then my cock exploded into her body, warm streams coating her insides until I was empty and my legs shook from exhaustion.

“Holy fuck,” she mumbled as her legs gave out, turning her into a limp lump of sweaty limbs and satisfied purrs. “Holy fuck.”

“You said that already,” I said, my chin resting on her shoulder.

“Yeah well, it bears repeating.” A nervous laugh escaped, and she shivered when my cock slipped free of her body. “That was… intense.”

It was so goddamn intense. Maybe too intense. But I knew one thing for certain, Sinclair was mine. She just didn’t know it yet.

The room was silent except for the sound of our heaving breathing. I moved to avoid crushing Sinclair and she slowly got to her feet, shook out her limbs and let out a sigh.

“You good?”

She nodded. “I’m great.” She offered a smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes, and I already knew that she was pulling back, putting the walls back up and creating more distance between us. “That was unexpected.”

“It was inevitable,” I replied.

“Maybe so,” she conceded. “But I’m fine and you don’t need to worry about me, Dagger. You should go be with Dani.”

“What the fuck?” Why was she kicking me out?

She turned sad eyes to me and shrugged. “That was good.” She pointed to the arm of the couch. “Really good, probably the best I’ve ever had. But I can’t trust you.” Hergaze watched me carefully, sadness and mistrust holding her emotions in check.

“I’m just trying to keep you safe, Sinclair. I know you don’t trust me right now, but I won’t let you put yourself in danger.”

“Let me?” She scoffed. “If I need help, I’ll figure it out myself.”

I shot to my feet. “And if it’s too late?”

“Then you and Dani will still have each other. Don’t worry about me.”

“But I do worry about you, dammit.” I raked a hand through my hair and blew out a frustrated breath. “I don’t want anything to happen to you.”

“It won’t,” she assured me.

“You don’t know that. Someone has been watching you! Someone who clearly means you harm.”

She folded her arms, a defiant look on her face. “You don’t knowthat.”

“Then you leave me no choice but to keep watching you to keep you safe.” I dressed fast as fuck and got out of there, checking on Dani before I returned to keep an eye on the sexiest, most stubborn fucking woman of all time.

Chapter 17

Sinclair

Two days had passed since Dagger fucked me senseless on the sofa, and even now I couldn’t look at the part of the sofa without blushing furiously. Just a quick glance down there could reduce my panties to a sopping mess. I avoided that part of the sofa like the plague, curling up on the other end to read my latest mafia romance, which wasn’t even really my thing, but I was in the mood for something a little darker.

I spent the past couple of days doing what I always did, working, shopping, and spending the evenings at home. I made a note to get outside more, maybe join some of the teachers for drinks after work. It was time—past time, really—for me to start making a life for myself. I was contractually obligated to stay here for the next three years, and I needed to get some friends, get back into hobbies beyond cooking and reading romance novels.

A noise sounded outside, and it wasn’t the sound of a car rolling down the street or kids playing. It was much quieter, like an accidental step on a dried-out twig. The snap was loud enough to draw my attention and freak me out, but nothing anyone else would notice. I froze and slowly put down my e-reader before I got to my feet.
