His gaze took on a serious glint in them, and it sent a chill down my spine. “Do you want to know why I’m pretty sure I can’t do any better than you?”
 
 I swallowed the sudden lump in my throat. “Why?”
 
 “Because I saw you come into The Opera, and for the first time in my life, I didn’t care that I knew nothing about a woman. I wanted you, and I haven’t been able to make anything else matter beyond that for two fucking days.”Was it getting hot in here?“Whatever this is, I don’t care that it doesn’t make sense. I feel what I feel, and it’s enough to make me stake my claim.”
 
 “So, just like that?”
 
 He nodded. “Yeah, just like that.” His head dipped until his lips hovered over mine. “Because I know you feel it, too.”
 
 And because I did, my lips pressed up against his, making this my decision.
 
 Chapter 13
 
 Cassius~
 
 Fuck yeah.
 
 My hands held her face prisoner as I took over the kiss. All I needed was her permission, but the rest was mine.
 
 Mine to control.
 
 Mine to claim.
 
 Mine to savor.
 
 Breaking off the kiss, I ran my thumb across her lips. Those mixed-colored eyes of hers were hooded with lust, and I knew mine were storming with need. “I’m going to fuck you so hard, the entire building is going to know my name, baby.”
 
 Her eyes flared. “It’s been…a while,” she said breathlessly.
 
 “Even better,” I replied, my voice a low, deep rumble.
 
 “Cassi-”
 
 My lips back on hers, I didn’t want to hear it. I didn’t care how long it’s been for her. I didn’t want to hear about the times before me. All that mattered was now and that I was going to be theonlyone for Devi from now on.
 
 Even though Devi’s apartment was tiny, I didn’t have the patience to make it to the bedroom. I walked us towards the couch, and our first time was going to be a desperate, dirty fuck. I figured we’d have plenty of anniversaries and shit like that to break out the romance. Right now, I wanted to fuck this woman so hard, she’ll be feeling me between her legs three days from now.
 
 As soon as Devi’s heels hit the couch, I had her flat on her back. I quickly took off my jacket and set my gun on the coffee table after clicking the safety in place. When I looked back over at her, Devi’s eyes were on the gun, and it was something she was just going to have to get used to. And because I needed her back with me, I dropped to my knees, grabbed her hips, and yanked her closer to me.
 
 Pushing her skirt up, I didn’t even bother with removing her thong. I hooked a finger around the fabric and pulled it aside.
 
 Sweet fucking hell.
 
 Her lips were bare, slick, and ready. She also smelled divine. Like she was going to taste as delicious as I’ve always expected.
 
 With a hand on the inside of each of her thighs, I pushed her legs open and back, and stuck my face in her pussy. My tongue starting right at the sweet opening, I slid it upward to swirl around her swollen clit.
 
 “Cassius…” she moaned, her hands diving into my hair, and holding on. Devi also opened her legs wider, and her hips rose up to ride my face.
 
 It was fucking perfect.
 
 Shewas fucking perfect.
 
 My tongue lapped at her center, but it wasn’t enough for me. I wanted to taste her flavor in the back of my throat. Sliding two fingers inside her pussy, the tightness verified that it has been a while for her. The fit was snug, and my cock was going to fucking ruin her.
 
 Iwas going to ruin her.
 
 “Cum on my face, baby,” I commanded against her wet flesh. “Show me how much of a mess you can make.”
