She’s eager for me.

“That you did.”

“But then you regretted it.” She frowned, her excitement fading.

While he was disappointed she was losing her lusty excitement, seeing her upset bothered him. He didn’t like it. Placing the soap at his side, he snaked his arms around her, cradling her tightly against him. “I was a fool and I hate that I can’t take it back. But I have you here now, and I’m going to work like hell to prove that it’s you I want. Not her.”

Sophia lifted her head from his chest and looked at him with wonder. It was then that he realized she still believed he preferred Giselle over her. He cursed himself for his stupidity. He should’ve made his want forherclear earlier.

“It’s you for me,Fia. Never doubt that.” He brought her head into his chest and held her there for a few incredible moments.

“Well, I’m glad you don’t regret that kiss anymore,” she mumbled into his chest.

He looked down at her in amusement, cracking a smile. “Is that what people call it these days? Akiss?I think the two of us haveverydifferent memories of our little dance on the grass that night.” Again, he stiffened at the memory. Unable to deny his needs any longer, his hands found her breasts, which fit perfectly in his hands, as if they were meant for him to hold. Then he whispered into her ear, “If memory serves me right, you used my body to get off that night. Did you not?”

Her rosy nipples tightened again and he imagined flicking his tongue against those buds as she writhed in pleasure. He burned with anticipation, pleased that he had been given the opportunity to learn her body tonight, vowing he wouldn’t end this night until he was an expert on her anatomy.

“I have no idea what came over me. I couldn’t control myself!”

“Of course you couldn’t. Because my female is a lusty one.” And tonight he would show this lusty fey the true meaning of pleasure. “Now it’smyturn to useyourbody. And I’m going to use it to explore every inch of you.”

He reached for one of her nipples, rolling it between his fingers.

“Every inch?” She breathlessly asked.

Running his lips over her neck, he told her, “The things I want to do to you… Soon you’ll be writhing from my touch, crying out my name.” The beast inside Antonio began to stir. Drunk off of lust, he welcomed its presence. “And gods help me, I won’t stop until you are.”

Chapter Thirty-Six

Sophia Brenning

Antonio’s heated hands seared into Sophia’s skin. And when his finger lightly brushed over her nipple, she nearly lost her mind, her back arching from that simple touch.

If her reaction to something so simple was this intense, how would she act when heexplored every inch of her?She feared she’d lose complete control over herself, eagerly giving Antonio the freedom to dominate her however he wanted. Her eyes grew hooded at the thought.

“Ack,Fia. You have me thinking wicked things when you press yourself against me like that.” He brushed her hair to the side, baring her neck for him. “My sweet mate. So beautiful.” He gifted her neck with soft kisses.

“What wicked things?”

“Hmm. Telling you won’t be much fun. I’d rather show you.”

He curled his arms around her and came to a stand, lifting her out of the tub and bringing her to the bed.

“Not even a hint?”

He dropped her onto the bed. His flirtatious grin was devastating. “Didn’t I already give you one? I told you I’d be exploring your body tonight, did I not? I don’t believe I need to tell youwhereI’ll be exploring. Something tells me youalready know.” When he winked her heart stuttered. He was so incredibly sexy.

“But last time we did anything I lost myself. What if I lose control again?” She believed her sense of control wasalreadywavering.

“I’m counting on it,” he said as he positioned himself on his knees between her legs. The sight of his bare body kneeling over her as water slid down his slick muscles rendered her speechless. His muscles rippled as he devoured her body with his eyes. She got the sense he was having difficulty controlling himself.

So am I,she thought, her eyes trailing downward. She suppressed a gasp when her eyes landed on his protruding erection. As she looked at its broad crown, which flared above his swelling veins, she had the sudden desire to touch it.

He wanted to learn her? Wellshewanted to learnhim.

How would he respond to her touch? Would he lose himself to lust as much as she had the other night?

She reached for it, curiosity getting the best of her. But he snatched her hand in his before she could.
