Hooking my hand behind her knee, I pushed her leg to her chest. I sucked her breast into my mouth, our hips finding a faster, wilder rhythm.
"So close," she whimpered as we continued to chase our release like to two rabid animals. The sound of skin slapping against skin, her moans, my grunts bouncing off the walls the closer we got to that sweet state of bliss.
It was Maddie who fell first. Throwing her head back, she cried out my name and then pulled me into an abyss of ecstasy with her. I swear, it hit me so hard, I saw stars. Fucking stars. It shouldn't have surprised me,though, because nothing with this woman was ever normal.
Chest heaving, breaths coming fast, I pressed my forehead against hers. "Holy shit, baby."
"Yeah." She smiled lazily. "That." Her hand came up, fingers trailing over the scars on my neck. "You okay?"
Behind my ribcage, my heart turned over. This woman was nothing short of amazing and I hoped like hell for all the shit I'd done, I'd still get to keep her. Holding her gaze, I dropped a kiss to the corner of her mouth, and then another to the opposite side.
For the first time in an impossibly long time, there was truth in my words when I said, "Yeah… In fact." I grinned and turned us over so she was straddling me. Her eyes went wide when I lifted my hips.
"Again?" she asked incredulously. "Didn't you just…" Laughing, she shook her head. "How?"
My hands smoothed up over her chest. "I've had way too much time to imagine all the things I want to do to you. Did you really think once would be enough?"
I had a sneaky suspicion if I had her for the rest of my days, it still wouldn't be enough.

MADDIE
Feather-light kisses brushed over my forehead, down my nose, and at each corner of my mouth. Popping my eyes open, I smiled happily. Next to all the deliciously wicked things Adam had done to my body through the night, waking up to his lop-sided grin had to be my favorite.
It made my heart sing and gave the butterflies in my stomach their wings. "I like waking up with you in my bed," I told him honestly.
The grin on his lips stretched into something wide and beautiful that went all the way up to his eyes. "I like being in your bed."
My gaze flicked down his torso, expecting to see muscles stacked on top of delicious muscles to trace with my fingers and my tongue. That was not what I found. He was already dressed in his sweatpants and t-shirt. Pushing into a seated position, I pulled the sheets over my chest and leaned back against the headboard. "Already leaving?" I tried not to pout, I really did, but it was impossible to hide my disappointment. Especially since I was hoping for another round of bed gymnastics.
Adam dragged his thumb over my lips and chuckled. "I still have guests, remember?"
Nope, I didn't remember. The only thing I recalled about the previous night was how completely open and honest he'd been with me and the feeling of those massive muscles shifting beneath my touch as he moved over me.
Under me.
Behind me.
Just thinking about it sent wonderful shivers down my spine that had me rubbing my thighs together. Adam laughed even louder, the sound of it coating my insides with warmth. "You're even worse than I am," he exclaimed.
"What?"
He gripped my chin between his fingers and drew my face to his. "I know exactly where your mind had gone just then, and trust me when I say I want nothing more than to crawl back under the covers with you and love on your body until you can't walk."
Oh, holy hell. The things that came out of this man's mouth. "But it would look very strange if my houseguests wake up and the host is missing," he continued, unaware of how he was turning me on.
He smoothed his hand up over my cheeks, his gaze turning serious. "Come with me?"
"What?" Apparently, that was the only word my brain now knew.
Those dark eyes roamed over my face. "Meet my sister. Have breakfast with us or just stay for coffee."
Inside my chest, my heart started on its wild gallop. Taking a deep breath, I tried not to overthink, not to read too much into what he was asking of me. Yes, last night he'd told me he was right there with me, but he had no idea how far gone I was.
Mistaking my silence for something else, Adam frowned and started pulling away. "It's okay if you don't want to."
"No." I hooked my fingers around his neck and drew him back to me. "I want to." I pressed a small kiss against his lips, but he quickly moved to deepen it. Turning my face, I muttered shyly, "Morning breath."
