“I shouldn’t have fallen asleep,” he said quietly. I sighed, feeling some of the fearful hesitation easing. His warm, hard body felt so good against mine. “You have it.” His arms tucked against my sides and his legs tangled with mine, the coarse hair on his calves stimulating my hypersensitive skin. I looked up at him, admiring the way his dark hair framed that extraordinary face. “I’m filthy rich, but you just want me for my body.” “Shut up.” He rolled over and dragged me under him before I knew his intent. “You’re a delicious extravagance for a woman, you know. He was lightning in a bottle, a dream I tried to hold in my hands. I was constantly worried that I wouldn’t be able to hold on to him. My chest tightened with terrible yearning. “For your convenience, I’m already unwrapped. “Waking up to you is like … presents on Christmas morning.” “And that would be because you’re so extremely fuckable,” I shot back. “Hmm … You’re wearing the fuck-me look,” he drawled. He gave me a lazily seductive once-over that made my heart skip a beat. His eyes opened, stunning me with those vivid blue irises. I had no defenses against him when he was touching me, helpless to resist the drugging pleasure of spreading my thighs for such a virile, passionate male. For all his polished urbanity, Gideon was an untamed animal behind closed doors, a lover who bared me to the soul every time he made love to me. My legs shifted restlessly, my body stirring with renewed hunger. I’d gripped his ass, too, insanely turned on by the feel of it clenching and releasing as he fucked me tirelessly, stroking his long, thick cock deep inside me. His arms were wrapped around his pillow, showing off chiseled biceps and a muscular back adorned with scratches and crescent marks from my nails. We faced a terrible choice: the familiar safety of the lives we'd had before each other or the fight for a future that suddenly seemed an impossible and hopeless dream.Shifting carefully, I propped my head on my hand and studied the decadent man who graced my bed. At the brightest time in our lives, the darkness of his past encroached and threatened everything we'd worked so hard for. I felt him slipping from my grasp, my greatest fears becoming my reality, my love tested in ways I wasn't sure I was strong enough to bear. Instead they opened old wounds, exposed pain and insecurities, and lured bitter enemies out of the shadows. The vows we'd exchanged should have bound us tighter than blood and flesh. My gorgeous, wounded warrior, so determined to slay my demons while refusing to face his own. Gideon calls me his angel, but he's the miracle in my life. We made our own rules and surrendered completely to the exquisite power of possession. Entwined by our secrets, we tried to defy the odds. How much I'd been threatened, or just how dark and desperate the shadow of our pasts would become. I needed him as surely as I needed my heart to beat. I also saw the dangerous and damaged soul inside-so much like my own. And our passion would take us beyond our limits to the sweetest, sharpest edge of obsession.įrom the moment I first met Gideon Cross, I recognized something in him that I needed. Those moments when the driving hunger and desperate love were the most exquisite insanity. It was too hard, too painful.except when it was perfect. My past was as violent as his, and I was just as broken. He was my addiction.my every desire.mine. He was a bright, scorching flame that singed me with the darkest of pleasures. As beautiful and flawless on the outside as he was damaged and tormented on the inside. The bonds of his love transformed me, even as I prayed that the torment of our pasts didn't tear us apart. And we would become the mirrors that reflected each other's most private wounds. I was flawed and damaged, and he opened those cracks in me so easily.Gideon knew. I craved his touch like a drug, even knowing it would weaken me. I was drawn to him as I'd never been to anything or anyone in my life. He was beautiful and brilliant, jagged and white-hot.
