Her whole body went incandescent, her bones buttery soft. Desire, so rich and pure, had her in its thrall. He slid a hand under her ass, lifting her, and the angle hit just right, making her arch off the mattress and cry out.

She’d never felt more alive, more sexual, and she needed more, deeper, harder.

Brodie nudged her, and it took a moment to break through the fog of lust to understand he wanted her to roll over. Another wave of desire crashed over her at the idea of him taking her from behind, and she flipped over, getting up on her elbows, and hiking her bottom up high for him.

“Oh, yeah, princess. So fucking hot.” Both hands gripped her ass, spreading her, and he slammed back inside.

Nothing had ever felt so good, her breasts bouncing, her hips slamming back against him. He drove into her, and she stretched her arms out in front of her, pressing her hands against the headboard.

The burn started in her core, a twisting, gathering, rising sensation of bliss, until it flashed out of control. He reached between her legs, found her clit, and the delicious shock of it had her arching like a cat. Pleasure rushed through her, making her body tingle and shudder. It was all so intense, she threw her head back and cried out his name.

And, then, she burst right out of her body, spiraling through a freefall that seemed to never end. A flurry of froth and bubbles exploded behind her eyelids, and she rode the wave until it crashed. Floating towards shore, she collapsed, spent, her body vibrating with satisfaction.

This man…he was everything she’d never known she wanted.

She had to make it work. Somehow, she had to find a way.

She couldn’t let him go.

Brodie stabbed a wooden stake into the ground.

Fucking Vanessa. Putting that crap in Rosie’s head. Well, words meant shit. He knew that from experience. He’d show his princess how much he wanted to be with her.

He’d make it possible.

Will took in the meadow. “This might even be better than the last one.”

“I think so, too.” Brodie had liked the first building site because it wasn’t too far from the highway. This one was set further back, but it had shade trees and a river crossing it, so that’d be cool. He could raise a family here.

Well, damn. He’d never imagined having kids before.

“You sure you want to do this?” Will examined the blueprint before driving a stake into the earth.

“What do you mean? You just said you like this site.”

“No, I do. It’s perfect. I meant adding a lab. You don’t think you’re jumping the gun?”

“Wherever she lives, she’ll need one.” Rosalina had shown him pictures of her laboratory back home, so he had some idea of the proportions.
