Whatever she wanted.

Calisto rolled them over in one quick movement. Hisback hit the bed, and Emma was above him. She hadn’t been expecting thesurprise move, if her wide eyes were any indication.

“Hard as you want,” Calisto said. “Fucking take it,Emmy.”

Her airy laugh washed over him.

And then her fingernails dug into his stomach. Air cutthrough his teeth like a cat’s hiss. She leaned over him, her skin flushed andpink, and her smile sinful.

So damn sexy.

“Will you ever tell me?” she asked.

Calisto found her gaze with his own. “Tell you what, bella?”

“That you love me.”

His chest constricted with pain.

Calisto was learning he was not good at hiding thingsfrom this woman. Emma was far too quick to pick up on the things he didn’t say.

“Do you need me to?” he asked.

“I need …”

“What?”

Emma glanced away. “To be loved. No one does. I feelalone all the time.”

“It’s not the same as saying it.”

“I know,” she whispered. “Will you?”

“I won’t take it away,” he said instead.

Emma’s lashes fluttered closed, but another one of hersmiles curved her lips upwards.

“Someday,” she told him.

Calisto couldn’t promise that.

Emma wasn’t looking for him to.

She rode him hard, so fast. She fell down over him,tangled her hands in his hair, and buried her teeth in his jaw. He let her takewhat she wanted, however she needed to have it. He grabbed her ass tight, andher throat in his other hand as she fucked him wild.

Soft was good.

This was, too.

Emma didn’t relent when Calisto felt the telltaletremors rocking his hands. A pressure built in the base of his spine, and hetold her to slow down.

She didn’t.

She bared her teeth, and begged him to come instead.

Calisto did—blinded and blissed.

Emma shivered each time Calisto’s fingers roved overher shoulders. He liked the way she shuddered and twisted on him, how shesighed and smiled, so he kept doing it.
