Take - Page 62

“It was a long time ago.”

But I knew all these scars were probably part of the demons that haunted him in his sleep. Leaning forward, I pressed a kiss to one scar, then the next.

“Frankie.” He made a low sound.

Then I saw a graze and bruise along his jaw. I frowned. It hadn’t been there last night.

“When did this happen?”

He stared at me for a beat.

“Don’t lie to me.”

“I got a lead on Auclair last night.”

“You went after him?” My heart thumped. I hadn’t even known he’d left the bed, let alone the warehouse.

Reath nodded. “Colt stayed with you. You were protected.”

Of course I was. I gently ran my fingers over his jawline. “What happened?”

A muscle ticked in Reath’s jaw. “He got away.”

It seemed that was all I was getting. Still, he’d shared, and he was safe. That was all that mattered. I went up on my toes and kissed his bruise.

All kinds of feelings flitted through me, and I couldn’t lie. They freaked me out. I’d just given myself the mental lecture on not falling for this man.

Then he tipped my face up and kissed me.

I kissed him back wildly. I pressed into him. I was a big ball of need.

Desire, I could do. I latched onto it.

With a hum, he pinned me to the tiles. I lowered my hands and found his cock, stroked him.

“What’s the rush?” he murmured.

“I want you.” I didn’t want slow. I didn’t want emotion.

I pumped his cock and his hips thrust forward.

Then I lowered to my knees.

“Frankie…”

Keeping one hand wrapped around his impressive erection, I pressed my hand to his hard thigh. I felt the muscles flex under my palm. Then I opened my mouth and licked the head of his cock. He muttered a sharp curse and slapped a hand against the tiles. I sucked him between my lips, and he was smooth, hard, and warm. He tangled a hand in my wet hair.

“You like my cock in your mouth, don’t you?” His voice was a low rasp. “You love driving me crazy.”

I sucked him harder, loving hearing that deep voice filled with raw arousal. He thrust forward, and his cock nudged the back of my throat. I dug my fingers into his hard thigh. I breathed through my nose and moved up and down, humming with pleasure.

“I like watching you suck it deep, like you can’t get enough.” His voice sounded like grit. “But I’m not coming in your mouth, Frankie.” He pulled me off and lifted me. “I need to be inside you.”

Our gazes locked as I licked my lips. I saw a need that matched my own. I shivered, and he reached out and turned the water off.

“No condom in here,” I murmured.

He hitched me higher, then strode out. “That can be solved.”
