Hearts in Darkness by Laura Kaye

endlessly.
    "Holy shit,” she squeaked out between shuddering breaths.
    When Caden pressed a line of kisses from her right thigh over her right hip, she felt the smile curling his lips. Then he playfully bit her hipbone. She screamed out a throaty laugh.
    She liked someone who didn't have to be serious during sex, who could smile and laugh. It was just one more thing they had in common.
    But she wasn't done with him yet.
    Saving them the awkward conversation, Makenna flopped her right arm out on the bed and pointed to her night stand. “Drawer. Condom. On you. Now."
    "Mmm. Yes, ma'am.” He pushed himself into a standing position and kicked off his jeans which still hung around his knees.
    Makenna licked her lips as he strode the three steps around her bed and reached into the drawer. His body was all taut lean muscle and moved with a quiet power. There wasn't enough light to make out the details of the designs, but she could see more ink decorated his shoulder blades.
    Later, she planned to explore every inch of his amazing body. But just then, she needed him with her, in her. She needed a resolution to the hours of build-up between them.
    Caden tossed the silver wrapper aside and unrolled the condom over his thick length. Makenna blushed though she couldn't look away—she'd always found that action particularly erotic. When he looked at her and smiled, she pushed herself back up to the pillows and held out a hand to him.
    He crawled over top of her and lowered his weight onto her. She'd always loved that feeling, the weight of a man's body covering hers, and it never felt better than when Caden's tall muscular frame encompassed hers so fully, so lovingly.
    Taking her head gently into his hands, he pressed closed-mouth kisses against her lips until she pushed her tongue out and encouraged his lips to part. She could taste herself on him, something else that had always driven her mad because it was like tasting the pleasure he'd given her all over again. When Caden groaned around her probing tongue, she kissed him more deeply and sucked hard on his tongue until he broke free of her and playfully bit at her jaw in punishment for her teasing.
    He stroked his fingers over her hair, then rubbed her cheekbone with his knuckles. “Are you sure?"
    She smiled and nodded. “I'm very sure. You?"
    He chuckled. “Um...” He pursed his lips and looked up at the ceiling, putting on what she assumed was supposed to be a thinking face.
    She reached her hand around him and not so lightly smacked his ass.
    His eyes dropped back to her. His mouth fell open.
    Makenna cocked an eyebrow. “I told you I would smack you."
    The laugh he let loose sounded so purely happy she grinned even though she was trying to look put out.
    "That you did. I like a woman who keeps her word.” He kissed her again, softly this time. “Yes, I am very sure I want you, Makenna. Can I have you?” He gazed so intently in her eyes she almost thought he was asking for more than just permission to possess her body.
    "Yes,” she whispered, intending her answer as the reply to every way he might've meant his question.
    Pushing himself up onto one elbow, Caden reached a hand down between them and stroked his fingers over Makenna's soft folds. He wanted to make sure she was ready. She was. Her responsiveness to him was thrilling. He centered his cock over her opening and met her eyes. And then he slowly pushed himself into her.
    He groaned at the feeling of being inside of her, at the idea that maybe, just maybe, he'd found a place, a woman, he could belong to for all time.
    The tight walls of her most private place gripped him fiercely, surrounding him in white-hot heat and velvet softness. He moaned low in his throat. “You feel so good."
    When he filled her completely, he stilled and let them both savor the sensation.
    She clutched at his shoulders. “So do you. God, I feel..."
    He studied her face when she trailed off and watched a blush bloom on top of the flush
