My insides were still tingling as he quickly took off his pants and underwear, his thick length springing into view. As he positioned himself on top of me, he rubbed his cock along my slit. I reached in between our bodies and wrapped my fingers around his shaft, making him hiss. When the tip of him was inside me, I rocked my hips toward him, taking him deeper. His movements were slow at first, but then he slammed into me so hard and fast that I gasped. Wrapping my legs around him, I met him stroke for stroke.

His gaze locked on mine just as our lips collided in a kiss that I could feel with my whole being. He pounded into me as I grabbed onto him, my nails digging into his back. I wasn’t sure how I was supposed to focus on anything except for him and those dark eyes that wanted to devour me.

He thrust into me until our bodies melted into one, and I clenched around him as he throbbed inside me. A cry stole its way out of my throat and my body spasmed as a wave of ecstasy overcame me, leaving my insides quivering. James grunted a moment later, almost collapsing on top of me. For a few moments, we didn’t move, just tried to catch our breath.

When he slipped out of me, he rolled over on the bed next to me. His eyes were glinting with contentment, and his lips pulled up into a small smile.

“If the assassins come for us now, I don’t think I’ll be able to move,” I said.

“Are you saying you regret what we just did?” He lifted himself up on his elbow and traced his finger down the gap between my breasts.

“Nope. Not at all.” I grinned.

“You should get some sleep,” he said, pushing himself up and grabbing a blanket. He planted a soft kiss on my shoulder before spreading the blanket over me.

“What about you?” I asked when he got to his feet.

“I’ll make sure nothing happens to you.” He went to retrieve his clothes, and I had to avert my gaze because just one look at his body rekindled my need for him. What the hell was it about him that made me feel this way?

“Okay. Wake me up when it’s my turn to keep watch,” I said, my eyelids already falling over my eyes. If he said something, I didn’t hear it. I just drifted off to sleep.

Chapter 25

“JAMES!” I SAID AFTER I woke up and realized that it was already morning and that he’d kept watch the whole night. I was really glad the assassins hadn’t come for us and killed us, though.

“Good morning to you too.” He flashed me a smile.

“You should’ve woken me up.” I groaned as I sat up.

“I couldn’t. You’re so beautiful when you sleep.”
