“Are you okay?”

I leaned into his touch.

“Yes. Just thinking about everything that’s happened in such a short time. Despite all the insanity, I’m thankful we have each other.”

“We do.”

He stripped off his shirt and tossed it aside, and my tired, sore body forgot all about sleep. Every nerve ignited. When he pushed down his black fatigues and was suddenly naked, my thoughts stuttered to a halt.

“Let’s get you cleaned up,” he said, full of purpose.

“I don’t think anything can clean the dirty thoughts running through my mind right now.”

Goran’s eyes burned into mine. Possessive energy radiated off him in intoxicating waves. He had always been sexy, but now…this was a whole other level.

“The things you make me want to do to you.”

“No one is stopping you,” I purred.

“You’re trouble.”

He grabbed the front of my ruined dress, yanking it hard. The fabric tore down the middle, and I gasped as the last reminder of the person I never wanted to be fell to the floor.

“I’ve always been trouble.”

Goran kneeled before me, pulling my lacy underwear down with him, and making me squirm.

“That you have,” he said, standing and brushing his body against mine. “And I wouldn’t want you any other way.”

His hand slid around to the small of my back.

My heart thundered, loud enough to drown out the shower. With a feat of strength I would never comprehend, he lifted me with one arm and carried me into the warm spray.

I sighed as it hit my skin. I had never understood the concept of open showers before. No door, no curtain, it felt foreign, yet the twin showerheads and extra space were intoxicating.

He set me on my feet and grabbed the soap, lathering his hands until it was frothing between his fingers. How could something so mundane look so erotic when he did it?

By the time his hands touched me, I was practically panting. My body arched into every glide and caress. He didn’t miss a single spot, teasing me as he slipped his fingers gently between my legs.

“Turn around,” he ordered, voice gravelly.

A moan escaped as he pressed against me, his cock sliding easily between my ass cheeks.

“Close your eyes. Relax for me, Lani. I’ve got you,” he whispered in my ear.

I leaned my head back and shut my eyes, letting him take full control. His fingers tweaked my nipples until I was a writhing mess. He washed every inch of my body, then helped me rinse off. I was caught in a torrent of sensation. Arousal and relaxation fought for dominance. I wanted to explode and melt at the same time.

“You’re beautiful like this…no armor, no walls. Just mine.” His voice was rough, struggling to hold himself back. I wiggled against him, the fire beneath my skin demanding more.

“Don’t move.” He stepped back, and I shivered at the absence of his touch. “Turn slowly for me.”

One careful step at a time, I faced him, trailing my hands over my chest, stomach, and then between my thighs. His hand glided up and down his hard cock, and I couldn’t tear my eyes away.

“That’s it…fuck, you’re gorgeous. Spread your legs for me, Lani. Let me see what no other man will ever touch.”

“What would you do if they did?”

His face turned cold, murderous, muscles flexing as he closed the distance.
