“Like what?”

She ran her fingers down his chest and traced the outline of his abs and then followed the narrow trail of hair down to the base of his cock, the whole time giving him a flirty dare of a look challenging him to stop her. No doubt, she thought that was all she had to do to make him give in and beg. If only she knew how close she really was to making him do just that.

“The benefits? How about this.” He grazed the back of a finger over her almost-hard nipple, circling the nub with a knuckle.

She gasped and bit down on her bottom lip. He wasn’t the only one teetering on the edge.

“Or this.” He dipped his head down and licked a water droplet from the hollow at the base of her throat before following its wet trail up the side of her neck to the sensitive spot behind her earlobe. Earlier she’d nipped at him, returning the favor was only proper.

He’d barely razed the edge of his teeth across her skin when she moaned, and he sucked the tender spot again. His balls ached. His dick was screaming at him. The caveman determined to claim her howled for more. Still, he wanted to take her higher.

“Definitely this.” His fingers glided down her spine, over the curve of her ass and down to the back of her thighs.

She trembled beneath his fingertips. “Lucas.” She called out his name in a desperate whisper.

In response to her plea, he curled his hands around the back of her legs, lifted her up so his cock nestled in the heat of her soft, wet folds, and pressed her back against the shower wall. “Without a doubt this.”

Sensation ripped up his body at the same time that all of his blood rushed south. Good didn’t begin to explain the feeling making his balls tighten in anticipation.

Ruby let her head fall back against the tile wall and her mouth opened. She moaned, her moan—the one that said she was close just from the pressure of his dick sliding against her core and bumping against her clit.

“You’re making that sound again, Ruby. Are you trying to make me go faster?”

She nodded and rocked her hips forward, hard against him. “Yes.”

“There’s only one way for that to happen.” He clamped a hand down on her hip, forcing her to stop. Yes, he was being an asshole, but she had to say it. She had to want it and go after what she wanted. For once, she needed to take what she needed and to hell with what was in it for anyone else. “You have to tell me what you want.”

She didn’t hesitate. “Fuck me.”

It wasn’t begging, but he wasn’t going to parse down to the nitty-gritty when he was this close to heaven. “How?”

Ruby cupped the back of his head and jerked his face close to hers. “So well that I’ll never forget it.”

Now that was a challenge he couldn’t wait to accept.


Ruby couldn’t take it anymore. It was all too much. “Please, Lucas. I need—”

The word was barely past her lips when he slid into her, filling her up in one long, slow thrust that nearly took her over the edge into the beautiful abyss. He was everywhere, surrounding her. His hands on her ass. His mouth on her neck. His chest pressed against the sensitive peaks of her nipples. He stretched her, making her beg for more even though she wasn’t sure she could take it. Then he moved, withdrawing and thrusting with exquisite, maddening slowness that had her whimpering in his arms.

“Does that feel good, Ruby?” he asked, his words hot against her skin. “Is this what you want?”

Want? It was too tame of a word for this.

It wasn’t mindless fucking. It was more. “God yes.”

They moved together, the water pouring over their bodies, as time lost its meaning. Each touch, each kiss, each caress took forever and a heartbeat at the same time.

“I could get lost in you,” Lucas said as he surged inside her. “You feel so good.”

She couldn’t describe how it felt. It was too much coming at her at once, building up with each slide of him in and out. It was agony and ecstasy twisted into electric vibrations that took away her ability to do anything but rock against him as she clung to his wet shoulders and cried out her desperation in unintelligible moans. Her whole world tightened to the point where they were joined and his voice as he whispered in her ear, urging her on and telling her to take what she wanted, all of it.

“You’re close, you’re wrapped so unbelievably tight around me right now.” His hand dipped down between them, the rough pad of his thumb finding her clit, circling it and taking her past the point of no return. “That’s it, Ruby. Let it go. Come all over me.”

As if she could stop herself. Release crashed into her, rippling outward in titanic waves that washed away everything but the man she clung to as if her life depended on it.

“So.” He thrust into her as her core continued to clench around him. “Fucking.” Another slide into her until he was buried so deep there was no him without her. “Hot.” A third stroke, deep and hard, and he came with her name a rough groan torn from his lips.
