Once he finished, he grabbed a blanket from the cabinet and pulled it over us as he slid into bed beside me. I turned instinctively, laying my head against his chest, fingers tracing slow patterns across the ink on his skin.

His arm wrapped around me tight. Protective. Possessive.

I exhaled, letting myself fully relax for the first time in weeks.

Pure bliss.

That was the only way to describe it. Warm, safe, full. Like my body had been starving and didn’t even know it until he fed every part of me.

My lips parted as I shifted slightly. The friction of my thighs sliding together made me gasp—and I felt him twitch beside me in response.

“Damn, Zoe…how you freaked out already?”

“I blame you,” I whispered, grinding slow. “You the one that lit the match. Now you gotta put the fire out.”

He groaned, hands gripping my hips as I leaned down and kissed him—slow, deep, full of need.

“I want more,” I breathed against his lips.

“You gon’ get it,” he promised, flipping us without warning, his body settling between mine like he never left.

And this time?

We didn’t hold back.
