She stood there completely bare with her shoulders back, as if daring me to look away.
But her fingers flexed at her sides, and the rise and fall of her chest was just a little too quick. She was trying to look fearless, yet I could tell being this exposed made her feel vulnerable.
Brave and vulnerable all at once was going to be my undoing. I wanted to fuck her then hold her close and keep her safe.
Gripping her hips, I hauled her to me until she was standing between my knees. She held her chin high, but I could see the pulse in her neck racing. Bold, yes—but still nervous.
My gaze dragged over her from head to toe, slow enough to make her squirm, then I slid my hands up her thighs and grabbed her ass, squeezing until she gasped.
“Much better,” I murmured. “You’re beautiful naked.”
I bent lower and scraped my teeth across her stomach before softening the bite with my tongue. “You belong to me for the next ten days, Sunshine. Every inch of you.”
I sat back and skimmed my hands down her legs before gripping behind her knees. In one sharp pull, I had her toppling forward with a startled laugh.
I caught her against my chest, and her laughter died when our eyes met. Electricity shot through me.
“Get comfortable, baby,” I ordered, guiding her onto the mattress. She landed on her back with her hair spilling wild over the pillow and her body stretched out like a feast waiting just for me.
I crawled over her slowly, caging her in beneath my weight. My mouth hovered just above hers, and I couldn’t resist nipping her lips with mine.
“Spread your legs for me, Sunshine,” I said, my voice husky. “I need to taste you.”
Her lips parted on a sharp breath, but she obeyed, her thighs falling open beneath me. The sight alone had me cursing under my breath.
I kissed her again, harder this time, before dragging my mouth down her throat, over the swell of her breast, and along her taut stomach.
I couldn’t help but smile when I noticed the goosebumps on her skin as I took my time kissing along her hip bone.
Sliding even lower on the bed, I pushed her thighs wider to accommodate my shoulders then hooked my palms beneath her knees and anchored her in place. “Open up for me. That’s it. I want to see all of you.”
Her breath hitched, and I tightened my grip, forcing her thighs apart another inch. “This is mine to touch, mine to taste. You understand?”
“Yes,” she whispered, and the sound nearly undid me.
“Good girl.” I dragged my tongue through her heat in one long stroke, groaning into her when she bucked against my mouth. “Fuck, you taste even better than I imagined.”
I’d meant to take my time, to tease, but the taste of her wrecked me. It was better than even my fantasies.
Her hips jerked, but I held her steady, flattening my tongue over her clit before sucking hard. She cried out, clutching at my hair, and I let her tug, let her ride the rhythm I set.
“That’s it, Sunshine. Ride my mouth. Give it to me.” I circled her clit with the tip of my tongue, relentless, until her thighs shook against my shoulders.
I pulled back just enough to growl, “Don’t hold back. I want to taste your orgasm on my tongue.” Then I sealed my mouth over her again and sucked harder—determined to hear her fall apart and know I was the reason.

Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god.
I had never had a man touch—or talk—to me like that. I thought men like that only existed in romance novels.
Apparently not.
And it wasBrian.
That blew my mind. Although, I guess I should have had an inkling based on the rumors.
