Ashton muttered under his breath, his voice low and strained.His chest rose and fell heavily, the control he had maintained all night now hanging by a fragile thread.A slow, sweet smile curved Cassidy’s lips, a direct contrast to the storm in his eyes. "Then punish me, Babe..." she whispered, her voice a silken challenge. She leaned forward, her mouth brushing a feather-light kiss against the taut, flexing muscle of his washboard abs.A rough, helpless sound—half-growl, half-plea—rumbled from his chest. "Cass…” A rough, almost helpless growl escaped him, echoing within the quiet luxury of the presidential suite.Her lips traced a deliberate path downward, skimming over the plains of his stomach.
