At what point is this constant craving for him going to be assuaged? I’ve

                had  him  multiple  times  in  the  past  twenty-four  hours  and  could  still  go
                another round…or three. “Is it wrong to wish we’d had time to finish?”

                   “Not  sure  I’ll  ever  be  finished.”  He  rises,  every  plane  of  his  body

                caressing mine on the way up. “I’m way too fucking greedy when it comes
                to you.”

                   He slants his head over mine and blurs out the rest of the world with a

                slow,  luxurious  kiss.  His  tongue  slides  between  my  parted  lips  to  glide
                against  mine  like  he  has  absolutely  no  other  plans  for  the  day  but  to

                memorize every corner of my mouth.

                   My entire body flares to life, then starts to simmer when he kisses a path
                down my throat. He palms my waist, pulling my curves flush with his hard

                angles,  and  I’m  nothing  but  heat  and  need.  My  heart  pounds  so  hard,  it
                sounds like wingbeats in my ears. Gods, I’ll never get enough of this.

                   He groans, one hand sliding to my ass. “Tell me what you’re thinking.”

                   I wind my arms around his neck. “I was thinking you are exactly as I
                predicted the first time you took me in my room.”

                   “Oh  yeah?”  He  draws  back,  curiosity  sparking  in  his  eyes.  “And  what
                exactly was that?”

                   “A very dangerous addiction.” My gaze skims over the silver line of his

                scar, the thick lashes so many women would kill for, and over the bump in
                his nose to that perfectly sculpted mouth. I’ve already told him that I love

                him, so it’s not like I’m keeping secrets over here. Hell, compared to him,

                I’m an open book. “Impossible to sate.”
                   His eyes darken. “I’m going to keep you,” he promises, just like he did

                last night. Or was it this morning? “You’re mine, Violet.”

                   I lift my chin. “Only if you’re mine.”
                   “I’ve been yours for longer than you could ever imagine.” As if the words

                untether him, he clutches the nape of my neck and kisses me long and hard,
                stealing every breath, every thought beyond the sweep of his tongue and the
