Understood that all of this had happened so fast.
Her crashing into my life had changed everything.
Swore, I could hardly remember my life without her in it, and she’d only been here for a short time.
Woman a fatal crack in my false foundation.
I’d been worried that the sense I had that someone was lurking around the motel had been related to her, but I found solitude in the fact that it’d been Pierce Renfry. That bastard dead and gone.
Now, we could rest. Allow Piper time to acclimate to this new truth.
The fact that I was going to be everything for her.
She could give me her sorrow.
Give me her fear.
Give me the pleasure of chasing down the fucker who put those scars on her back.
I knew it was him.
Justin.
Knew whoever he was and whatever he’d done had cut her deep.
I was going to cut him fucking deeper.
Slay her demons.
But I could wait until she was ready. I didn’t want to spook her more after what she witnessed last night. After she just found out about Sanctum.
It was a lot to handle.
A lot to process.
Truly, the only thing that mattered right then was that she’d stayed.
So, until then, I was just going to stare at this treasure that had dropped into my life.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” she whispered.
“Because I can’t see anything else.”
Her teeth raked her bottom lip. This understanding—the connection—a buzz that rippled between us.
“I kind of like looking at you, too.” It was a soft, breathy tease.
I leaned down so I could inhale it, and I stole a kiss from that sexpot mouth.
I couldn’t help but hum, satisfaction winding a bow in the center of my chest. “Never going to get enough of kissin’ you,” I mumbled at her mouth.
I inhaled the tremor that rolled through her, and I kissed her a little deeper. “Never going to get enough of this body.”
“You just had it.” She shifted on my lap as she peeked up at me.
My cock hardened in a flash. “Oh, Pipes, I’ve only just begun.”
What had happened between us earlier had been a joining.
A fusing together of two beings that were destined to be together.
A converging of souls.
Elemental.
Now, I just wanted to explore every inch of that divine body.
Devour and consume and sate.
Please her in a way that she’d never been pleased.
“Is that so?” Seduction wound into her tone.
“What, you’ve already had enough of me, Little Liar?” I basically dared her to deny it as I dragged the tip of my index finger down the slender column of her neck.
Chills lifted in their wake, and Piper trembled beneath the blanket.
“There will never be getting enough of you.” Her hushed admission weaved with the cold breeze that whipped through our hair.
She slid off my lap and onto her feet.
Standing over me.
A snow angel wrapped in fur. Hair a white halo around her gorgeous face.
My chest expanded to the point of exploding.
Seeing her like this.
So easy and right.
She eased back a couple steps before she dropped the blanket to reveal every glorious, naked inch of her.
Lust smacked me in the face.
“Fuck me,” I grunted.
“Oh, I thought it was going to be the other way around.” Her voice went coy, and she slowly turned and headed for the door, swaying her perfect, round ass from side to side. Curves on full display and that cascade of white rolling down to touch the sweet spot at the base of her back.
In a flash of greed, I was on my feet and stalking behind her. She slid the door open and slipped into the warmth.
The only light in my room was the toil of flames that flickered from the hearth.
Piper kept moving across my room, looking at me from over her shoulder as she lured me back toward my bed.
“Ah, Little Liar, you are playing with fire,” I rumbled into the tension that immediately strained the air.
I peeled myself back out of the sweats.
My cock pulsed its demand, so hard it verged on pain.
“You want to burn with me, Piper?”
“I’m already ash.” Her words dragged through the room, a tether that beckoned me in her direction.
I stalked her way, catching up to her just as she made it to the bed. My arm looped around her waist, and I tugged her naked body against mine.
She gasped a needy sound as I rubbed my cock in the cleft of her ass.
Her lush cheeks pressed against my dick that raged with a madness that I’d never felt before.
Didn’t understand it.
What she did to me.
How she could make me feel this way.
I buried my face in the fall of her hair, and I ran my lips along the cap of her shoulder. “Wrecked, Piper.”
It was my confession as my hands skimmed down her front, palming her breasts then smoothing over the soft curve of her belly.
