When she pulls back just enough to catch her breath, her eyes meet mine, blazing with a fire that makes my pulse race. “You gonna keep up, Carr?”
A slow grin spreads across my face. “Phoenix, I've been keeping up with you all day. Think it's time I showed you what I can really do.”
Her smirk is sharp and damn near lethal. She presses her palms flat against my chest and pushes me back until I hit theedge of the bed. Before I can make a move, she climbs onto my lap, her thighs bracketing mine. Her weight settles against me in a way that makes my head spin.
She leans in close, her breath warm against my ear as she whispers, “Prove it, Dragon.”
Challenge accepted.
The moment she issued that challenge, I was finished. No way I am backing down now.
I grab her by the hips, twisting us so fast that her surprised laugh turns into a gasp as I toss her onto the bed. She lands with a bounce, her hair spilling wildly around her face, and the sight of her there—breathless, flushed, and staring up at me—damn near undoes me.
But I am not in any hurry, not tonight.
“Stay right there, Phoenix,” I murmur, my voice rough. “I want to take my time with you for this.”
She raises an eyebrow, her usual sass barely masking the heat in her eyes. But she doesn’t move.
I hook my fingers into the waistband of those lace panties, dragging them down slowly. The fabric glides over her smooth skin. As they slide past her thighs, I lean in, pressing soft kisses along the curve of her leg.
Her breath hitches when I reach her knee, and I can’t help the grin tugging at my lips.
“You know,” I say, my voice a low rumble as I work my way up the inside of her thigh, “I've been wondering what it’d be like to have you like this. Spread out in front of me, looking like a damn dream.”
Her sharp inhale is all the encouragement I need as I kiss higher, my lips brushing her skin, teasing.
“And now that you’re here,” I murmur, my breath hot against her, “I don’t think I’m letting you go.”
Her fingers grip the sheets, her body arching slightly, and the soft sound that escapes her lips shoots straight through me.
When I reach her sex, I pause for just a second to look up at her. Her eyes meet mine, her chest rising and falling as she waits, and in that moment, she is the most stunning thing I've ever seen.
“Hold on tight, Amelia,” I say with a growl before pressing my lips exactly where she needs them.
Her body trembles under my touch, her breathless moans spurring me on as I whisper every filthy thought racing through my mind.
“You like my mouth on you, Phoenix?” I say against her skin, my voice rough in that low growl she seems to enjoy. “The way my tongue has you falling apart for me. Damn, you are so perfect like this… so damn sweet.”
Her hips buck, her fingers fisting in my hair as I bring her closer, and every gasp, every cry, drives me further into a haze of lust.
When she shatters, her cries fill the room, and I don’t stop. I flip her onto her knees, her hair spilling over her shoulder like a dark wave.
The sight of her, arched and ready, is enough to make me come on the spot. My palm connects with her perfectly shaped ass, and her gasp turns into a moan that shoots straight to my dick.
“You like when I’m rough, Phoenix, don't you?” I rasp, reaching for the condom I tossed onto the bed. Ripping it open, I slide it on quickly.
I grip her hips and lean over her, my voice a low growl in her ear. “Is this what you want, what you came over here for? Tell me.”
Her moan is all the answer I need. But when she whimpers a breathless “Yes, Ash,” I lose it.
I slam into her in one powerful thrust, burying myself to the hilt, and her cry of pleasure is the most intoxicating sound I’ve ever heard. Her body clenches around me, and I curse under my breath, gripping her hips tighter as I set a rhythm, every movement harder, deeper, more desperate than the last.
“God, you feel so good.” I groan, my voice raw, my mind barely able to keep up with the overwhelming sensation. “You are mine, Amelia. Just remember that. Every damn inch of you.”
Her moans grow louder, matching the rhythm of my thrusts, and I know I won’t last much longer. Not with her like this, completely undone beneath me, every sound she makes driving me closer to the edge.
My thrusts grow deeper, harder, chasing that edge, until I feel her tighten around me, like she has my dick in a vise grip. Then she half moans and half screams, and I am coming right along with her. With one last thrust, every muscle in my body tenses before the wave of pleasure consumes me.
