were one, over and over in complete surrender. There was no turning back now.
He bent forward, his eyes flashing as they reflected the soft light glowing around us. “Penny.” His breathy voice sent prickling gooseflesh down my neck and arms. How he did that with just a whisper of my name had me losing my resolve to deny him anything. Soft, flighty kisses sent me in overdrive, and I didn’t think I could stand to wait any longer.
I place d a finger on his lips and shook my head, finally feeling a bit more sober as I came up for air. Just to breathe him in again. “Don’t say a word.”
His eyes linger ed on mine, and I knew he was trying to decipher if that was a good thing or not. But he let it go, succumbing to the hunger dwelling within his adoring gaze and closed the gap between us, pressing his lips on mine. My mouth opened slightly to let his tongue explore, reciprocating in deep, hungry kisses as though nothing could quench the thirst we had for each other. Nothing less than intense bursts of energy filled me, and I’d never felt so wanted, so cherished.
Seth was the most dangerous man I’d ever met, and he had me under his power again.
Oh, dear sweet Lord.
Chapter Fourteen
Penny
I SAT UP, jarred and disorientated. Seeing the blinding light of the morning sun streaming in through the slightly parted window curtains, I rubbed my eyes and tried to focus on what had happened the night before. I wasn’t sure where I was or how the hell I had gotten there. One too many cocktails from the night before were still swimming in my head, making it murky for several moments before I pushed it away and realized, with a growing dread and panic, just where I was.
Shit!
I hopped out of bed and tried to gather my clothes off the dark maroon carpet. Who has maroon carpet? I collapsed back onto the bed, feeling my mind swimming while sparks shot across my vision. I had stood up too fast and was paying for it. Groaning, I gripped my head between my hands and let the blood return to my brain. Seth wasn’t in the room, and I didn’t know where he’d gone off to, but I had to get home if I was to salvage any of my pride in the process.
I tried to stand up again, but much more slowly, before shimmying my clothing back on. Frantically, I searched for my purse, pulling apart the room to no avail. Finally, I pulled it out from under the bed and flipped open my phone to check the time.
6:45a m. I groaned and pulled my travel brush out, heading toward the master bath attached to the room to quickly freshen up before I hightailed it out of there. Even the smell of bacon, which was now deliciously permeating the air, didn’t keep me from locking myself in the bathroom and leaning back on the door, letting out a deep, groaning sigh.
I had fucked it up. Not even a week had gone by, and I’d let him in, just like that! Just dropped all my defenses and let the enemy waltz right in through the gate so he could gallop around and have his fun, then traipse right out of my life once more. Not that I hadn’t had an exhilarating time, for my body ached in all the right places, and it was begging for more. The tender spot between my thighs was proof enough how much fun we’d had the night before, and it had my insides bursting at the thought of each moment of lust and sex. It played like flashes of a movie over and over in my head, and it had me holding my breath as the excitement filled me up once more. This, above all else, made me groan as I yanked my brush painfully through the knots of hair, tousled from the night rumpus we’d enjoyed.
Why can’t things be simple? I was the queen of complicated, and it was usually because I let things get the best of me.
I furiously rubbed the smeared makeup off, splashing it away. I also rinsed out my mouth before staring at myself in the mirror. Shaking my head as I took in my sad appearance, it was horrid. I looked exhausted with the bruising of dark circles forming under
