I breathed in, letting my courage and my yearning flow through my veins like boiling honey.
“You have my consent, Reid. Do it. Do it all.”
“Fuck it.” Reid stopped unbuttoning his shirt halfway down and then pulled the two sides apart. Buttons snapped off with his strength and flew outward, one hitting the night table near me with a soft clatter. Reid kicked his shoes off and then got rid of his pants and boxer briefs. He stood by the bed, holding his cock in his right hand.
It was huge. It was marbled with one purple vein. It was beautiful.
It was ready.
I longed to touch it. I’d never touched a man’s cock before. Never wanted to.
Until now.
A drip of fluid emerged at the tip. An urge to lick it off surged through me, but I didn’t. I had no idea what I was doing.
“I’m going to fuck you,” he said. “Hard and fast.”
I nodded nervously.
“Then, when I’m done, I’m going to do all that other stuff I want to do. I’m going to kiss those breasts, suck and bite those hard little nipples, eat that pussy, Zee. I’m going to shove my tongue between your legs and feast on your cream.”
I shuddered as he sat on the bed and then moved on top of me. He hovered above me, his forehead already slick with sweat. He paused, and for a split second, I wondered if he was going to ask for my consent again—
“Ah!”
He slid into me, burning a trail through my channel.
“Fuck. You’re so tight,” he groaned.
Yes. Wet as I was, I was also tight, and his cock trailed flames into me. Good burn. Fast burn. Perfect burn.
His gaze never left mine as he pulled out and then thrust in again. The burn lessened this time, and pleasure erupted through me as he eased my emptiness.
Took it away completely.
“Yes,” I said softly.
“Good?” he groaned.
“God, yes.” I closed my eyes to revel in the magic.
“Open your eyes, Zee. Open those beautiful blue eyes and watch what I do to you.”
I obeyed, meeting his own sapphire eyes. They smoldered. All of Reid smoldered.
For me.
Reid Wolfe, the most beautiful man on the planet, smoldered for me.
It no longer mattered how much he looked like his father.
Now, I saw very little resemblance because I knew this man. I knew his heart. He was nothing like Derek Wolfe.
He was Reid. Simply Reid. And he was fucking me.
He thrust into me again and again, harder each time. With each plunge he abraded my clit, and this time… This time…
A new spark surged across my skin, skittered across my flesh and pulsed into my clit.
This was it.
This was—
I shrieked! No words, just sounds of pleasure and gratitude.
For I was grateful.
Grateful to be taken away from this day. Grateful for his help taking my body back.
Grateful for this most amazing pleasure I’d ever known.
I soared with the vibrations tunneling through me, around me, above me.
Still he pumped. Still he thrust.
“That’s right, baby. Keep coming. Grab hold of that big cock. Come, baby, come. That’s—Fuck!” He thrust deeply.
So deep I wondered if he could feel my heart racing.
So deep I knew I’d never be the same.
As he released, I grabbed onto his butt and held him inside me, pushing him, hoping to get him deeper and deeper into my body.
His eyes were squeezed shut, but my gaze never wavered. A minute or so later, when he opened those eyes full of flames, they softened as they looked upon me.
“Fuck,” he said, softly this time.
Then he rolled off me, sliding out of me. I felt the loss deeply, but we weren’t done. He’d promised all those things he’d do to me, and I’d see that he kept that promise.
He lay on his back, one arm over his forehead. “Fuck,” he said again.
What is it? I wanted to ask. Was he okay? Had he enjoyed it? Of course, he’d enjoyed it, but was he happy? Or did he have regrets?
“Condom.”
“I’m on the pill,” I said on a breath. “The director requires it.
Reid shot up into a sitting position. “What? That’s illegal.”
“I know, but he provides them, so I take them. It doesn’t cost me anything, and I haven’t been with anyone in—well, since before.”
“Thank God. I’m good. I’m always safe. Except, apparently, with you. What the hell is the matter with me?”
I stayed silent, still cloaked in a haze of nirvana as my body reeled in the aftermath of the orgasm.
And I never wanted to move again.
So I lay there, finally closing my eyes. When a breeze drifted over me and I felt a chill, I pulled the covers up from the foot of the bed over both our bodies.
I couldn’t sleep. Reid’s eyes were closed, but I doubted he was sleeping. What about his promise?
Of course I had to let him rest. Men were different than women. They needed recovery time. Fine with me.
We had all night.

Reid
Damn. I’d needed that more than I’d ever needed sex. Ever needed a woman.
Sure, this day had been majorly fucked up, but that wasn’t the only reason I’d desired this. Needed this. Yearned for this.
I was feeling something so completely foreign to me. Something I’d never wished for or wanted.
Was I in love?
My God, was it something in the Wolfe genes that made us fall in love so quickly? I’d watched both my brothers and my sister fall in love within weeks.
A fluke, I’d thought. It won’t happen to me. Never in a million years.
Except it had.
I loved this woman. A woman who, though she obviously wanted me and was attracted to me, could never love me. Never, because of what I represented.
The man who’d kidnapped her, tortured her.
Hunted her.
But I was also the brother of the
