Until my mind was blank, my pulse racing, and the completely strangled moans not my own.

I’d certainly never experienced an orgasm from a man’s mouth. I’d thought it impossible, a myth, but as my body convulsed, stars in vibrant colors exploding in front of my eyes, I now knew better.

This man was an expert at everything he did. It was as disconcerting as it was beautiful. The single climax drifted into either a longer version or a second one. I had no clue how long I rode the high. I had no clue what this would mean or if we could tolerate each other after this, but I didn’t care. I never wanted to come down from something so incredible.

It seemed as if everything was over far too quickly, my mind still a blank. But I sensed he was shutting down. There was no doubt of that in my mind. His muscles were tense and he helped me into my shorts, which meant he wasn’t going to fuck me. I was flabbergasted.

I thought he would totally turn away, but he kissed me again. Being able to taste myself was wicked, but I loved it. The salty sweetness, the way my mouth and tongue reacted. But I knew this kiss meant one thing.

We’d crossed a line that was never, ever going to be crossed again.

And I wasn’t certain how to feel about that.

Somehow, in the back of my mind, I knew the line we’d crossed would be redrawn further the other way. He’d lost control, allowing his jealousy to handle him. I knew just enough about the man to know he’d do everything in his power to pretend the passion we’d shared hadn’t happened.

CHAPTER 13

Nico

I should have gone back to the house when I’d known she was safe.

I should have ignored the burning anger inside of me that I hadn’t been able to stop.

I should have done nothing more than capture her, treating her like the child she’d behaved like.

But I’d chosen not to. It was ridiculous, my behavior more egregious than hers.

I shouldn’t have spanked her in the middle of the outdoors, even if it was dark.

And I definitely shouldn’t have allowed myself to touch her intimately.

But I’d failed her and myself.

I’d been able to tell no man had pleasured her the way I had. In my mind, I could see two young students who’d just wanted to get their rocks off. That was typical for a younger guy just trying to put notches on his belt.

Alexandra was a real woman with real needs and I’d satisfied some of them. Meanwhile, my cock continued to ache even more than before.

At least she didn’t fight me as I led her back to the car in the dark. She didn’t say anything at first, but I could tell it was on the tip of her tongue. “Did I do something wrong?”

“Other than infuriating me?” I asked, trying to keep my tone in check for now.

“Just like you did me. You have a short fuse.”

“Yeah, I guess I do.”

“Who the hell do you think you are?” Her defiance returned and I had a feeling it had more to do with the abrupt ending to our passion. I certainly could never label myself as romantic.

“That’s a loaded question, Alexandra. My guess is you really don’t want to know.”

“Maybe not, but I’m the curious type. I have the glossy brochure version of you with the stunning estate and I bet your wines are exquisite. But there’s an underlying evil deep in your soul that will eventually eat your alive.”

“Here’s the problem with your summation. I don’t have a soul.” That wasn’t a lie. In fact, no one could if they’d done all the things I’d done in my life. Horrible things. Violent things. Had that been more about the past? Yes, but karma never forgot.

“That I can see. Did you do normal things as a kid?”

We were already closing in on the estate. “Like what?”

“I don’t know. Play basketball or enjoy going to the movies with your buddies. When you were older, going to the prom with the right girl and pretending you and your friends were king of the world.”
