Exclusive Excerpt - 

Hours later, I open my eyes. The room is dark except for the reflection

of the outside streetlights giving the sheer curtains on the tall windows

a platinum glow. It takes a long moment for me to realize where I am

and that Max isn’t next to me. In his place are ripples of sheets that

have been peeled back. I’ve kicked off the sheets and lie on my side,

nude.

I hear him breathing…deep and ragged. In the dim light, I see

movement. As my vision adjusts, I spy Max sitting in the armchair

next to our bed.

Gloriously naked, his legs spread and his head leaned against the

back of the chair, he slowly strokes himself as he watches me. It’s incredibly

erotic, and my desire for him overwhelms me. When our eyes

meet, he moans and strokes himself again.

The sight of him instantly arouses me, and I lick my lips as his

hands move over what’s mine. His cock looks so commanding from

this angle, and I want him badly. I look up, my expression burning.

“Do you mind if I watch?” I whisper in a sleepy voice.

“You want to watch what you do to me?” He gives me a wicked

look.

I nod and run my hand over my breasts, circling my nipples.

His lips part. “You were moaning in your sleep, Angel. You got me

so worked up, and I didn’t want to wake you, so I came over here and

imagined what you were dreaming about.”

“What did you imagine?” I slip one hand between my legs and

slowly stroke myself. I notice his fist tighten over his erection.

“Remember that night in the O’Keeffe Museum? We got so turned

on by the art, I had you up against the wall with my cock inside of you.

You wanted me so much it made me crazy.”

“I remember, are you kidding? You were wild.”

His eyes roll back as he shudders. It takes him a moment to start

speaking again.

“So, I started imagining us in the room near the back of the Picasso

museum. Remember the wide bench?”

“The leather bench we sat on for a while?”

“Yes, you’re naked and spread out on that bench, and I’m kissing my

way up your thighs to your sweetest spot.”

I moan and stroke further into my wetness. “You really like going

down on me, don’t you? I mean, you don’t just do it to satisfy me.”

“You have no idea how much I love it.” He groans and watches me

hungrily.

“So, did you fuck me in the Picasso museum?”

He gives me a naughty smile. “Yes, I fucked you, but we haven’t finished

yet. You woke up and interrupted my fantasy.”

I squint and flash him a wicked smile. “Yes, I’m such a distraction.”

“What were you dreaming that made you thrash around and moan?”

From the steamy look in his eyes, I imagine he wants to know he owns

me in sleep too.

I pause, pulling the memory out of the folds of my mind. “I dreamt

that we were in a room with dark burgundy walls and burning candles

around the room. There was no ceiling, just the night sky filled with

stars, and I was crouched low on this huge bed, purring like a wild

animal.”

He leans forward in his chair, and his whole body is tense. I’m

beside myself over the way his fist moves with purpose as he listens.

“What was I doing?”

I roll over, get up on all fours and lean down. My sensitive nipples

graze the soft white sheets, and I arch my back so that my ass is higher.

I move my fingers back to where I’m wet. “You were taking me from

behind.”

I love the anticipation building as he rises off the chair and approaches

the bed. The testosterone in the air intoxicates me. The bed sags and the heat

from his thighs warms mine before his strong hands settle on my hips.

He pushes into me slowly, so slowly, until I’m beyond full.

“Ava,” he gasps, as he slowly pulls out again.

“Yes, just like my dream…You feel so good,” I groan, as he pushes

back inside and I grind against him. “Is this better than your fantasy?”

“There’s no better with you, Angel… ’cause it’s all perfect…”

“Every…” He pushes into me hard.

“Fucking…”

I brace myself from falling forward as his movements become more

forceful.

“Time.”

His heat builds inside me, and he groans before we lose ourselves

in the moment. He’s all hardness and passion, strength and command.

I submit again and again as my fingers stroke the circle of pleasure

closed. When we climax, there’s no breath, no words, just the explosion

of our bodies combusting before he falls over me.
