With my fingers gliding across his flesh, I kept contact as I moved around to his back and across the broad expanse between each shoulder, afterward, I ran my fingers in a soft caress over the nape of his neck—God, how I'd always wanted to touch him in this way—and then began making my way over to the opposite shoulder, shortly coming around to his collarbone.

Afterward, with a pivot of my fingertips, and practiced turns of my feet, I came a full one hundred and eighty degrees, facing him again.

As I gazed into his eyes, my breathing increased, and I felt myself give a small pant as I moved my fingers down to his chest. Then, without so much as a pause in my actions, I lowered myself toward the floor. 

In a slight squat, I maintained the position for several seconds, moving my hips to the beat before easing my way back up. Once again standing and with slow deliberateness, I let my knees brush his crotch, my breasts hovering near his face. 

Seconds later and with a seductive move, I placed my leg on top of his thigh before letting it slide slowly across its width. With only the tips of my toes touching the floor, I slowly lowered my butt onto his spread thighs. The v'd hollow between his thighs cradled my butt, and I laced my arms around his neck, continuing to move, teasing him with my body.

Leaning forward, I allowed my lips to almost brush his, then after a soft exhalation, I backed off: a manipulative move to leave him wanting a taste of the lips I'd offered. Then, as slow as I'd climbed on his lap, I inched my way back off, unwrapping one leg at a time from the back of the chair as I slid with taunting eroticism backward off his lap until I was once again standing between his legs. 

Afterward, bending forward, I placed my hands on top of his knees, then moving my face back towards his, I gave him a light brushing of my tongue across his lips, being sure to leave him hungering for more as I withdrew. 

Afterward, lowering my body towards the floor again, I moved my face from side to side near his stomach. Sliding my hands to the insides of his thighs, I began working my hands up toward his crotch in a slow caress, only stopping just short of touching the increasing bulge. 

Shortly, following the move, I began moving my hands back down, kneading and caressing the bunching and tensing of muscles beneath my fingers as I did. With breath damn near hissing through my lips, I realized how badly I wanted Torin and how badly I wanted to make him want me. 

With that clarity, I rose to my feet and stood before him, moving my body in slow rhythmic figure eights. A sexy pout graced my lips as I ran my hands over my breast, down my stomach, then lower still as I gave a light stroke to the sensitive area between my legs. 

One stroke, two, before I lifted my arms and reached out, sliding the moisture on my fingers across his lips before withdrawing, I placed my hands against his chest. I could feel the firm pectoral muscles beneath my palms trembling and need raced through me at the knowledge of his arousal. 

In a slow, playful action, I gave him a firm shove, reseating him in his chair, as he'd almost come out of it when I'd slid my wet fingers across his lip. A thrill washed through me, for I was doing things I had only ever dreamed of. And with each action, I grew more damp, more aroused. Small expulsions of need escaped my mouth as the growing hunger within me became unbearable. 

Torin's hands twitched in his effort to restrain himself from touching. He hadn't so much as laid a finger on me and I was becoming a needy, throbbing mess. I wanted him to touch me. I wanted him to caress my breast, to run his fingers up my thighs until he reached the weeping folds that begged for his touch—to bury those fingers deep within me. 

A small hungry hiss of breath escaped my lips as I lowered myself back onto his lap, wanting to make him touch me. Wrapping my legs back around the chair, I kept one hand on his shoulder as I leaned backward. Arching my back, I jutted my breast toward the ceiling, beginning a gentle rocking motion against him.

I rode his erection in slow motion for several seconds, before releasing his shoulder, I leaned all the way back, touching the floor with one hand as I continued to gyrate.  Afterward,  I brought the other arm back,  laying that hand on the floor as well. 

My body quaked with the arousal cruising through it, and I damn near exploded when, with nostrils flared and eyes dilated, a groan ripped loose of Torin's throat. Reaching out, he grasped me around the ribs, just below my breast. Then lifting me back into a sitting position, he swooped forward as lips soft, sensuous, and seductive, he grazed them against my own as he wrapped a hand in my hair. 

With a jerk, he pulled my mouth hard against his, all the while pumping against me, his erection stroking me through our clothing. Drawing back slightly, voice husky, he breathed, "I want you."

I couldn't control the whimper that escaped my lips in my need as I moaned, "Oh God, Torin."

Raising a hand, he cupped my chin, then lifting my face, he looked into my eyes. After a few seconds of examining them, he growled, "What she give you, Sweetheart?"

Lowering my feet to the floor, I jerked out of his arms, beginning to back up. Pain, embarrassment, and shame washed over me for who I had become, and suddenly seeing myself through his eyes. I gave a shake of my head. "Got no clue."

Climbing to his feet, he gave a slight hiss. Then bending at the waist, he growled, "Fucking, son of a bitch," as he pushed his shoulder into my midsection. Afterward, grabbing me around the thighs, he rose back up. Stomping over to the door, he threw it open, before continuing into the hallway, he headed toward the door at the end of it.

    Even after hours of sleep, I woke to the soft weight of Torin pressed against me, his chest warm, his arm draped across my waist. Morning light streamed through the blinds, painting stripes across the room, yet the sunlight brought no relief from the tight knot of anxiety in my stomach.I shifted slightly, careful not to wake him. Lucien is out there, I thought, the words echoing in my mind. He won’t stop. Not until he gets what he wants… until he gets me.Torin stirred, deep growl vibrating through his chest as his hand slid over my hip. His eyes fluttered open, focusing on me. “Morning,” he murmured, voice still heavy with sleep. “You awake?”I nodded, leaning into him, brushing a soft kiss across his jaw. “Yeah,” I whispered. “I can’t… stop thinking about him.”Torin’s expression hardened instantly, the softness replaced by the cold steel of his resolve. “Lucien?” he asked, voice low and dangerous. “He’s a snake. I’ll make sure he doesn’t touch you again.”I smiled faintly, resting

    The next morning, sunlight spilled into the bedroom, slanting across the floor and casting golden streaks over Torin’s bare chest. He was still asleep, his breathing even, the faint rise and fall of his shoulders hypnotic. I watched him for a moment, heart tightening with an ache I couldn’t name, knowing how close we had come to losing everything.I can’t let him touch me again, I thought, thinking of Lucien, the cousin I had never wanted, the man whose obsession with me had spiraled into a dangerous obsession. Not now. Not ever.Torin stirred, his hand brushing over mine as he opened his eyes, pupils dilated with sleep and something else…desire. He stretched, letting out a low groan that made me bite my lip to keep from smiling. “Morning,” he murmured, voice thick, gravelly with sleep. “Sleep okay?”I slid closer to him, letting the warmth of his body chase the last remnants of fear from the night. “Better than I have in weeks,” I admitted, leaning against him. My lips brushed over hi

    I closed my eyes for a moment, leaning into his touch, letting the heat of his hand chase the chill from my skin. I wish it were that simple, I thought. I had survived so much already, but Lucien was a storm I couldn’t predict. I swallowed, tasting the tang of fear and something else…something dangerous and thrilling.Torin’s lips brushed against my temple, warm and insistent, pulling a soft sigh from me. “You’re trembling,” he murmured, voice low, edged with concern. “It’s not fear you feel, Marlowe. It’s anticipation. Desire. Admit it.”I turned slightly, letting my lips find his in a fierce, hungry kiss. Desire flared like a bonfire, and I pressed into him, my hands roaming the familiar planes of his back, memorizing every ridge, every muscle, every scar. He groaned, deep and ragged, his hands moving to my hips, drawing me closer until the heat of our bodies melded into one.The city lights below blurred as the world narrowed to the press of his body and the burn of his mouth on min

    At my words, Torin closed the distance between us, the heat from his body reaching out to me in silent reassurance. His hand brushed mine, firm and grounding, and I felt my pulse spike despite my fear. “He won’t get to you,” he said, but the faint tremor in his voice betrayed him. The Torin who faced down killers and survived unscathed was suddenly human, and for the first time in weeks, I realized I wasn’t alone in my fear.I moved to the window, dragging him with me as my fingers traced the lines of sunlight on the floor. The city below seemed oblivious to the danger we faced, but I could feel the invisible eyes, the sense of being hunted prickling at my neck. “I hate this,” I whispered. “I hate that he can make me feel powerless, like I’m just a pawn on his board.”Torin lifted my chin with one strong hand, forcing my gaze to meet his. His dark eyes, fierce and unwavering, held mine. “You are not powerless,” he said firmly. “Not now. Not ever. That’s why I’m here. That’s why Rook is

    Later that night, back at the loft, Marlowe sat cross-legged on the bed, her sketchbook open in her lap. The sight almost undid me. So normal. So fragile.I sat down beside her, brushing hair back from her face. “You okay?”She smiled faintly, though it didn’t reach her eyes. “Define okay.”I kissed her temple, breathing her in. “Alive. Safe.”Her pencil traced across the page, fast, deliberate. “I don’t want to just survive this, Torin. I want to fight. I can’t keep waiting for Lucien to make his next move.”My chest tightened. She was braver than she knew, stronger than she gave herself credit for. But the thought of her stepping into his crosshairs made my blood run cold.“We’ll fight,” I promised, cupping her chin so she’d meet my eyes. “But not alone. Never alone.”She kissed me then, soft at first, then deeper, pulling me under. And for a while, there was no Lucien. No threats. Just us, burning away the fear with touch and breath and the kind of fire that nothing could steal.~Ma

    ~MARLOWE~The morning sunlight didn’t make me feel safer. It just made the shadows sharper, easier to notice where danger could hide. Rook made coffee in the kitchen, the smell strong and bitter, while Torin sat at the table, flipping through the photos he’d taken at the docks.I tried not to look at them, but the edges of the prints caught my eyes anyway. Guns. Men with hard faces. The warehouse. It was all proof that Lucien wasn’t just circling anymore…he was setting up camp.“You should eat something,” Torin said without looking up.“I’m not hungry.”He gave me a look that said he didn’t believe me for a second. I turned away, wrapping my arms around myself.Rook slid a mug across the counter toward me. “Drink. Caffeine counts as breakfast.”A smile tugged at my lips despite the tension. “Thanks.”I hadn’t even taken my first sip before a knock rattled the front door.All three of us froze.Torin’s hand went to his gun. Rook moved to the window, peering down. His shoulders stiffened
