She made a sound in her throat as he filled her, slowly, then more deeply. Backing her up against the wall, he drove into her, out and then in, easy at first, then faster, deeper, harder. Ellie made a sound low in her throat and just hung on, her heart pounding, her breath coming in short, sharp pants. Her insides lifted on a swelling tide of need, and her belly tightened as she exploded into climax.

Kade didn’t stop, just kept pounding into her, coaxing her toward the peak again, riding her hard, demanding she respond.

Heat burned through her, hot waves that sucked her under and wouldn’t let go. Pleasure deep and erotic had her sobbing his name. She came hard, and Kade came with her, their mating as violent as the storm they’d endured, Kade taking her mouth again in a final kiss that went on until the tide of passion finally abated.

Ellie slumped against him, her arms still around his neck, her fingers entwined in his thick brown hair. She lifted her head off his shoulder as Kade carried her across the room and settled her in the middle of his big four-poster bed. He left to deal with the condom, returned, and began to strip off his jeans. As he climbed into bed beside her, she saw that he was still hard.

“I didn’t come here for this,” she said, looking up at him.

“I figured. Doesn’t matter now, does it?”

She whimpered as he lowered his head and kissed her, started kissing his way down the side of her neck.

“I-I’m on the pill,” she said, “but—”

“You don’t have to worry.” He pointed toward the string of foil wrappers he had brought from the bathroom. “We’ve got plenty for tonight.” He kissed the side of her neck. “I promise I’ll make it good for both of us.”

Dear God, she had no doubt of that.

As Kade settled his big, hard body between her thighs, she thought he would take her more gently this time, make love to her with slow, tender care. Instead, he touched her as if he owned her, kissed her as if she belonged to him. He made love to her as if she had no choice but to give him what he wanted.

It shocked her to realize it was exactly what she wanted too.

They slept for a while, spoon-fashion, his broad, powerful chest against her back. She wasn’t sure how much time had passed when she felt his hand stroking over her hip, arousing her. Soft and easy turned to wild and frenzied, and finally to completion.

She’d had sex before, but not like this. Not this wild, reckless passion that demanded everything she had to give and more. Like a dangerous drug in her system she hadn’t known she craved until now.
