Our families are already too interconnected—snap.

She’s part of my inner circle—snap

Until there’s only one string left.

“You can’t just use me to forget the rest.”

That’s when the final string breaks.

Fuck it.

Caitlin

Callen’s mouth is on mine, intense and unrelenting, like an all-consuming fire, sucking all the oxygen from the room and demanding everything I’ve desperately wanted him to take for years.

His hands slide down to my ass, and I’m lifted in his arms. “Fuck, Cait...”

My name is like a prayer violently ripped from his lips like nothing I’ve ever heard before. Heaven wars with hell as he takes the stairs two at a time, kissing and licking, teeth grazing and hands squeezing. Part of me knows this—us—can’t happen.

Shouldn’t happen. I’m waiting for him to tell me so.Dreading it.

But with each touch... each kiss and suck, I push my thoughts away because I’ve never wanted anyone or anything as much as I want this man in this moment.

In every moment.

Callen kicks open his bedroom door and spins us around, pressing me up against the cool wood door. His muscles shake with restraint as he rips his lips from mine and presses them to my forehead, and I close my eyes, thinking—now is it.Now is when he’s going to stop.

Because we’ve beenherebefore, and that crashed and burned before it ever started.

Only this time, he doesn’t push me away. He pulls me closer. One hand bands around my waist, and the other cups my face as his green eyes darken, and he leans his forehead against mine. Our lips are barely a whisper of a breath a part as he licks his lips. “Four fucking years, kitten. I’ve kept my distance from you...”

His voice is deep and strained, but those aren’t the words I crave.

“I don’t want your distance, Callen. Please.Please. Please. Don’t stop.” I shove my hands under his shirt and drag my nails down his back, clawing to get closer. “Please...”

“I’ve been the better man for four fucking years,” he growls and captures my lips as I sink against him. “I can’t do it anymore, Caitlin.” His words teeter on the edge of barely disguised anger before he swallows my cry and carries me to the bed.

I’m dropped down with a bounce, and before my next breath, my cami and shorts are in a pile on the floor, and Callen is on his knees with my thighs thrown over his shoulders, shaking with a matching need. “You are so fucking beautiful, kitten.”

I lose all sense of self-control as rough, calloused hands skim the inside of my thighs, followed by his lips. His hot breath causes goosebumps to break out over every inch of my cool flesh, while Callen’s fingers play with the strings of my thong. Tracing them. Snapping them. Running under them. “I like this, Cait. Black lace suits you. My black cat.”

His nose glides up my thigh and over the expensive lingerie before he rips it from my body with his bare hands.

I lean up on my elbows and look down at the sinful sight in front of me. Callen’s head should live between my legs.

“That was Italian silk lace,” I gasp as his tongue licks up the length of my sex, and I lose any sense of control I may have had left and fall back against the bed.

“I’ll buy you more,” he growls against my pussy, and the vibrations send me skyrocketing.

A moan slips past my lips as my vision darkens, and I bury my fingers in his thick hair.

Every nerve ending is supercharged with an electric current pulsing through my body.

Already on the verge of falling . . .

Of breaking in a way I never have.

A way I might not recover from.
