Julie pulled a blanket over herself. Coal gave her some room. He sprawled himself out on the bed. His cock was still as hard as it had been before they’d had sex. The guy wasn’t lying about going at it all night.

Thank god he spoke as if this was a business arrangement. It suited her just fine. She’d chill here for a few weeks as promised and then it was back to her old life. This was a retreat. Coal was seriously hot and great in bed. He might want her for a mate and to have his babies but he wouldn’t fall in love with her. That meant that he would let her go. He would move on. There were plenty of human women that would give their left arm at a chance at a guy like him.

She felt a pang at the thought. The sex. She would miss the off the charts sex. That was why she felt this way.

You will only crave me.

His words rolled around her head as she watched him from under her lashes. Washboard abs, broad shoulders and lips made for kissing. His cock was made for other things entirely. His mouth lifted in a lazy, half smile. She feared he was right. She would be ruined. Those pasty white, nerdy types that tried really hard would never do it for her again. Coal didn’t have to try. Not even a little bit. He was naturally good. No, he was great.

“Stop looking at my cock or I will be forced to rut you again.”

“I’m not complaining.” She had to smile.

Coal grinned right back at her. He was quite spectacular when he smiled. The gold flecks in his eyes became more pronounced. “I must feed you first.”

Now that she thought about it, she was really hungry.

Coal got up off the bed and headed for the kitchen area. Oh, that ass. And oh, those thighs. He grabbed a skillet and some meat out of the fridge. “How do you like your steaks done?”

Her mouth watered. She wasn’t sure whether it was him or the thought of food that caused it.

“You’re going to cook for me?” She rolled onto her stomach.

There was a clicking noise as he lit the stove, placing the skillet on the flames. Coal nodded, he turned and leaned back against the counter, folding his arms across his chest. So freaking hot.

Coal nodded. “I most definitely am.” He raised his brows.

Wow! Just wow. She looked down at his hard cock. “Naked?” She raised her own brows as she locked eyes with him.

Coal nodded, he turned and slapped the steaks onto the hot skillet.

It was weird, yesterday she’d felt like the unluckiest person on the planet. Today she felt like the tables might be turning.
