“How about you give me a chance to make up for that, huh?”

“By throwing your money around more?”

“No, Menina. By taking the time to get to know me, by letting me get to know you, your family. By letting me invest in your brother,” he whispered, closing the small gap between them. “What do you say?”

“I…I…I don’t know,” she muttered, caught off guard by his sweet words. Her heart rate sped up, making her feel slightly jumpy. She was losing focus with him this close.

In one fluid motion he scooped her up, much like he had the other evening, but this time with both hands cradling her ass. Still looking her in the eye, he walked them into the bathroom and set her down on the edge of the vanity. She closed her eyes as he spread her legs and stepped in between them. His big strong hands felt warm and incredibly inviting as they held on to her sides and caressed her back, making her melt a little with each up and down movement.

“Just give me a chance, Menina. Let me show you I’m not the big bad wolf you believe me to be,” he said, still whispering.

Despite everything that was going on in her head, she opened her eyes, returning his gaze. His golden-brown eyes looked deep into hers, sending a shiver down her spine. She nodded slowly, a thrill of excitement rushing through her as she agreed to his request. Without skipping a beat, he leaned in and kissed her, long and slow.

Long and slow only lasted for a moment before he grabbed the hem of her shirt and ripped it off, up over her head. Finding her mouth again almost instantly, he teasingly nibbled her bottom lip, while unceremoniously relieving her of her bra at the same time. The feel of his teeth grazing her lip sent a bolt of lust straight through her, and she arched her back as he freed her breasts. Grasping for a piece of him, her fingers were met with his skin, leading her to run her nails down his back. His skin felt hot underneath her hands and it made her want to hold on tighter.

Cullen let out a growl, pulling away from her mouth and staring her down. The look in his eyes was animalistic, like he couldn’t control himself. Her nipples responded by pebbling and she could feel the dampness forming between her legs. That look told her just how much he wanted her and for the first time in a long time, she was willing to admit she wanted him just as much in return. She nodded again, holding his gaze, encouraging him to continue.

That nod seemed to be all he needed to push him into overdrive. One hand found her right breast, while his mouth found her left one, causing her to cry out in pleasure. She was in a fog of pleasure and excitement as he continued to lavish attention on her breasts. Having her nipples played with was something she’d always enjoyed, but this was a new level. His tongue could work serious magic and Leona felt like at any moment she was going to burst.

Just as Leona thought she might not be able to take any more attention from his extraordinary tongue, he pulled back, yanking down his shorts and lifting her up off the counter. She caught a brief glimpse at his hard length, which was standing at attention now, and her mouth watered at t

he sight. As he walked them into the large shower, she looked down to find that he had somehow worked her out of her own bottoms. She’d been in such a state from everything he was doing to her, she’d been completely oblivious.

The hot water hit her back and felt so amazing that she let out another noise of appreciation. She could feel his rock-hard cock underneath her and suddenly she wanted nothing more than to have him inside her. Wiggling her hips, trying to cause some friction and hint at what she really wanted, she kissed him, this time returning the nibbles he’d used to wear her down earlier.

“I need to be inside you, now,” he growled, taking his cue from her wiggling hips and lifting her up a bit, only to lower her onto his thick shaft. The feel of him entering her was like he’d thrown gasoline on the flame inside her.

Nothing had ever felt as good as this moment.

“Fuuuuck,” he groaned, once he was fully inside her.

She knew exactly what he meant. Her insides were still adjusting to his size, but just the feel of him inside her was incredible, she could only imagine just how amazing it would feel once the friction from his movements began.

“Condom,” he choked out. “I need to go get a condom. I needed to be inside you so bad, I skipped a step.”

Her eyes flew open and met his. She’d been so caught up in the feeling of it all the thought of protection hadn’t even crossed her mind. His eyes were filled with a cross between desire and embarrassment that he’d gotten this far without stopping. She loved that his eyes were so expressive and she was able to know what he was feeling by just one look into them. She didn’t want to stop, didn’t want to lose this connection between them and was afraid if he removed her from him that the moment would be lost. But she also knew his history.

“Are you clean?” she asked nervously.

“Yes. I always use protection, religiously,” he answered. “And full disclosure, it’s been months since I’ve been with anyone.”

“Months?”

“Months, Menina.” His voice was soft, reassuring. The look in his eyes matched his tone and she felt her insides thaw a little. She took in a deep breath, weighing her options. There had been plenty of questionable decisions in her past life, and she sure hoped this didn’t turn out to be one of them.

“I’m clean, too, and on the pill,” she told him.

“Menina…” he growled again, his eyes darkening,

“Fuck me, Cullen.”

He held her, standing under the rain shower head for just a moment before he started to move her up and down his cock. Every single move he made was easy and unhurried, yet deliberate, drawing it all out. The feel of him alone was sensational, but those long, slow moves were driving her crazy. She held on tighter, trying to keep a sense of control, as passion from each movement took over her body. Just as she was thinking that it didn’t get better than this, he turned ninety degrees and pressed her up against the wall of the shower. The coldness of the tile hitting her back caused her to gasp, a sound that was quickly cut off by his mouth. The coldness of the wall, paired with the heat between them, sent a whole new rush through her. Moving his way down her neck, he found her breasts again, sucking on each one, teasing her nipples until she called out his name. She clawed his back, trying to spur him on, wanting to find her release. It was all almost too much. She needed that release.

As if he could read her thoughts, he adjusted his pace to faster, harder thrusts, hitting her in all the right places. Her orgasm took her by surprise, sending her over the cliff harder and faster than she ever remembered. It seemed like every single one of her nerves exploded, sending a pulse of pleasure rippling through her. She let out another scream, listening to it echo off the shower walls as she dug her nails into his back, causing him to tumble over the edge with her. He groaned wildly, making her feel she had conquered the whole world.

When they’d rinsed off, Cullen wrapped them both in towels and carried her over to the vanity counter again. His kisses were long, slow, and deliberate again, like he had all the time in the world to hold her here. It was such a contradiction to his actions just a few moments ago in the shower, but Leona couldn’t help but find it attractive. All of it. The beast he unleashed up against the tile and the gentle giant who was holding her now.

It was like all the anger and resentment that had been brewing between them all these years had miraculously disappeared. Leona couldn’t explain it, but the feeling of wanting to throttle him that she’d felt so fiercely walking in here was gone. Maybe it was just the post-orgasmic high she was feeling, but she couldn’t help but feel herself soften toward him.
