He was going to go to hell for this.

No question.

Calisto shifted on his feet. “Emmy …”

“Don’t go, Cal. Stay.”

He couldn’t refuse her.

He wouldn’t tell her no.

Emma knew it.

Calisto nodded. “I’ll check the house.”

She smiled in that knowing way of hers, and stared athim through her lashes. It was sexy and sweet at the same time. She had thepower. He had willing handed it over to her and now she was using it.

Calisto liked that, too.

The house was empty of people.

Calisto knew it would be, but he made sure to double-check.

By the time he made his way upstairs to the thirdfloor of the home, he had forgotten all about the wrongness he’d felt. It washard to worry about those things when he was far too focused on who might bewaiting in a bed for him.

And she was waiting.

Calisto wasn’t surprised to see she hadn’t given himmore time to check the house. Or at least wait until he had come back upstairsfirst.

He locked the bedroom door behind him. All of hisclothes hit the floor soundlessly. Emma watched him from the foot of the bedwithout ever saying a word. The sheer, white chemise she wore rested highenough on her hips to flash her bare skin underneath.

No panties.

Calisto’s throat tightened and his mouth went dry.

He was naked by the time he hit the bed.

“I’m safe,” she whispered to him. “After what happened…”

“It’s all right. I get it.”

She didn’t need to go into all of that again tonight.Once was enough for her.

Emma nodded.

Not once did he voice his earlier sentiments. Emmadidn’t say a thing when she reached for him, pulling him down to the softsheets beneath them.

Calisto’s mouth found Emma’s, wanting her taste andher kiss. He liked the way her skin tasted under his tongue just beforesex—fevered, and sweet. Her nails raked down his chest to his hard cock, makinghim shudder all over. She wrapped her fingers around the base of his length andsqueezed.

He lost his ability to breathe for a second.

But God, it was good.

“Fucking hell,” he mumbled against her lips.

Emma laughed a breathless sound. “Been a while.”

“Too long, Emmy.”
