ログインHer eyes snapped open. Without her glasses, her gaze was unfocused, pupils blown wide. She looked at me like she was still determined to keep some semblance of control, lips pressed together, fighting every sound that threatened to escape. Stubborn little thing. Still pretending she hadn’t wanted this as badly as I had. I curled my fingers, dragging against that rough spot inside her, and her whole body jerked. "S-shit—" "Shh." I pumped faster, palm slapping wet against her clit with every stroke. "You can stop pretending you’re not enjoying yourself, Covey. I can fucking tell.” Her answer came out as a strangled whimper, hips rolling to meet my hand. The wet sounds filled the room and I could feel her cream coating my knuckles, sliding down to my wrist. Perfect! Just Fucking perfect. My thumb found her clit. And I rubbed in one slow circle. Then another. Her back bowed off the mattress, a moan tearing out of her throat before she could stop it. "Kade! O-oh my go
“Amongst other things, sweetheart.” I lowered my mouth to her neck. The first kiss was soft. Almost romantic, tender. Except, the second wasn’t. I sucked hard at the spot beneath her ear, teeth grazing the tendon, and she arched into me with a broken moan. “Kade—” Her hands found my shoulders, nails raking down my arms. Argh. There it was again. My name. I’d heard her say it a hundred different ways. Usually with irritation, sometimes with outright disgust. But this? I could get fucking addicted to this. I bit down harder, marking her, and she shuddered beneath me. Her hips rolled against my thigh, and I felt the heat of her through the thin layers of fabric between us. My cock twitched. I was in my supposedly dead brother’s bedroom, with the woman he’d spent years silently wanting beneath me. There was something deliciously fucked up about that. But the longer I kissed her, the less interested I became in the idea of Luca knowing. I didn’t need an audience.
My mouth was on hers like I was trying to crawl inside her skin. Oh I wanted to. I caught her bottom lip and drew a sound from her throat that went straight to my cock. She tasted like something that had no business being in my fucked up world. Her fingers twisted tighter in my hair, nails scraping my scalp hard enough to sting, and I groaned against her mouth. Fuck. That was the problem with Covey. Even when she was trying to hate me, she still couldn’t do it with her whole chest. My hands found her waist, fingers digging into the fabric of that loose dress. I’d spent the last several minutes pretending I was perfectly capable of having a normal conversation with this woman. Clearly, I’d been delusional. “Damn, Covey.” She answered by kissing me harder. I’d wanted this. Not just now. Not just since she’d walked into the room wearing those fucking glasses. I’d wanted to get my hands on her for five, and every time she’d opened that mouth to challenge me, my self
Her throat bobbed, and her gaze flickered briefly to my mouth before returning to my eyes. I waited. But nothing came out of her yet. Her fingers tightened around the dresser, her knuckles paling against the polished wood. She held my gaze, but that stubborn little crease had returned between her brows. There it was. That familiar one. The fight between what she wanted and what she thought she should want. I almost smiled. “That’s what I thought.” I pushed away from the dresser. She looked momentarily caught off guard when I stepped back, as though she’d expected me to keep pressing. Instead, I turned towards the door. “Kade?” I didn’t look back immediately. “What?” “Where are you going?” I strolled towards the door, taking my fucking time. “Thought I’d leave you to your mourning.” My fingers closed around the handle. I gave it a slight turn, then paused. Behind me, I could practically feel her watching. I smi
I nodded slowly, keeping the satisfaction off my face. “Miami.” “Yeah.” She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “I got the job. They sent me the offer, and I have to start work almost immediately.” I studied her for a moment. The shadows beneath her eyes hadn’t passed me. Neither had the exhaustion she was doing a pretty good job of hiding. She looked like she hadn’t slept properly since the news. “Congratulations, Covey.” She glanced at me, seemingly surprised by my sincerity. “Thank you.” “When are you off?” “Tomorrow.” My fingers curled inside my pocket. Tomorrow. Fuck, yeah! I kept my expression neutral. “That’s soon.” “I know. I still have to sort through my things and find somewhere to stay.” She sighed. “There’s a lot to do.” She turned towards the dresser, her fingers brushing over the polished wood before reaching for the photograph tucked beside the mirror. Luca. Of fucking course. S
The first thing I noticed was her expression. Like she’d just walked in and found a body bag on the floor. “What the hell are you doing here?” I glanced at the photograph in my hand, then back at her. “Funny. I was about to ask you the same thing.” “I asked first.” “God, you're bossy, Covey. Not that I'm complaining.” She hadn’t closed the door. Her fingers tightened around the handle as her gaze moved from my face to the photograph, then to the dresser beside me. I slipped the photo strip behind my back. “Nothing to see here.” “Are you seriously going through Luca’s things?” I raised a brow. “I’m in his room, Covey. What exactly did you expect me to do? Admire the shitty wallpaper?” “That wasn’t what I asked.” “No, you asked what I was doing here.” I slipped my free hand into my pocket. “I came to apologise to my mother. About the morgue. I was out of line.” Something in her expression softened. The suspicion hadn’t quite left, but her grip on the door handl
