He stiffened, then came on a silent shudder that went on and on and on...
‘Yessss...’ she breathed, riveted on his gorgeous face, ravaged with pleasure, as he poured himself into her, giving her it all, and she’d never felt so strong, so powerful in all her life. She was a woman who’d just shattered this man. This beautiful, wonderful, amazing man.
A man who gave a convulsive thrust before he collapsed on top of her with a low sound of feral ecstasy. Then he wrapped her in his arms as if he never wanted to let go and nuzzled her neck, pressed a lingering kiss to the sensitive skin beneath her ear.
Serena stroked his damp hair from his brow and revelled in the feel of his body—heavy, slick and replete against hers.
Voice gruff, he murmured against her neck, ‘You okay, beautiful?’ with such tenderness that her chest ached.
‘More than okay. That was...outrageously good.’
‘Unbelievable.’ He lifted his head, caught her gaze. ‘Incredible.’
As if unable to stop himself he dipped his head to kiss her again—a kiss so sweet and tender that a lump pulsed in her throat and all she could think was that she didn’t want to leave. She wanted to lie here forever and ever. With him.
Gently, he rolled onto his back, taking her with him, his hardness still locked inside her body, holding her tight as though fearful she would vanish into thin air.
‘You’ll stay here. All night. I can’t let you go yet.’
‘I’ll stay.’ Serena buried her face in his neck, tasting the musky scent of their passion and the remnants of his dark cologne. Desperately trying not to overanalyse his every touch, his every word.
He didn’t do sleepovers. He’d told her that before. So maybe she was different from all the others—special enough to hold his attention. Careful, Serena, you know better than that. ‘Yet’ implied that he would let her go come morning.
Fighting the hollow emptiness in her stomach, she snuggled closer, until they clung to one another as though braced for a turbulent storm.
For now she’d just enjoy him. Take what she could. Nothing would stop her. Not even the sound of her heart cracking wide open.

Selfish. He was so selfish craving the entire night with her. No doubt he would go to hell for it. So what was new? At least he’d have tasted heaven on the way.
Self-loathing gnarled and twisted in his guts like thorny branches as the tight skin on his lower back nipped, reminding him of what lay between them. And although it was wrong to hide, he was grateful for the shadows. The only light came courtesy of the thin slice of moon shining eerily through the leaded windows, ensuring he languished in the grim certainty that his world would come crashing down with the dawn—and if this was all he had of her he was taking it. Taking it all.
Spooned into the delicate delineation of her back, with her soft skin whispering over his chest, he toyed with a lock of her ruby-red hair; corkscrewing a silken strand and watching it bounce like a loaded spring.
Aw, man, he had it bad. Knew she could steal his heart as it lay vulnerable outside his chest.
Something close to panic clutched his throat and he felt driven to lighten the mood, to lift the portentous silence, fall back on the charm that never failed to smother his emotions.
‘I do find you in the most delicious compromising positions, Miss Scott,’ he said, his voice a decadent purr as he kissed the graceful slope of her shoulder.
She groaned. ‘Don’t remind me.’
‘You never did tell me why you broke into my trailer through the bathroom window four years ago.’
‘I...I didn’t know it was your trailer! It was identical to ours. It was pitch-black, I was tired, I’d just come back from London and my key wouldn’t work.’
He trailed one fingertip down her upper arm and a quiver took hold of her svelte body, ruining the indignant tone she was aiming for. He smiled mischievously.
‘Yeah, whatever. You just wanted to see me in the shower.’
‘I didn’t even know you!’
‘Hey, no need for panty-twisting. On the scale of women trying to get my attention it veered towards the tame side. It was quite the introduction. I was the perfect gentleman too—caught you before you went splat on the floor.’
‘Gentleman? You said my boots were the sexiest things you’d ever seen and if I wanted your body I had to leave them on!’
‘Ohh, yeah! Go get them and I’ll prove how serious I was.’
He’d been deadly serious—until he’d locked onto that stunning gaze of hers and his world had tipped upside down. Then his only thought had been how quickly he could shove her back out through the window and transport her to another planet. Which didn’t quite explain why, at this moment, she was gloriously naked in his bed.
