It’s him touching my lips that undoes me.

He’s so tender. So gentle. It breaks me open, and the only way to put myself back together is to go up on my tiptoes and press my lips against his.
“I’ll stay,” I whisper, knowing that I’m making a huge mistake even as I do. “But only for tonight.”
He doesn’t respond, just bends down and claims my mouth in his own greedy kiss.
Cassian already has me pinned against the door. He leans against me as he explores and claims my mouth with his own.
Desire burns through my body like a dry field, and I can’t help the small noises I make as flexes his hips against me. I don’t know if I’ve ever felt so turned on.
He captures both of my wrists in one of his hands.
The other trails down my arm, lingering on the sensitive skin of the underside of my wrist, the inside of my elbow, the underside of my upper arm.
Then he brings his hand down farther, hooks his thumb in the

neckline of my dress, and drags both that and my bra down to expose my breast.
“There has never been anything in the world as perfect as you,” he whispers against my ear.
His teeth close around my earlobe at the same time the callused pad of his thumb brushes over my peaked nipple.
I gasp and whimper and arch against him.
“This is going to be so much better than the first time,” he says. “I didn’t appreciate you then. But now I’m going to take my time with you.”
“Cassian…”
He lowers his head and kisses along my jaw, then my neck. I tilt head back, instinct once again telling me to submit to him, to make myself vulnerable to this strong Alpha wolf.

Tonight, for once, he is going to protect me.
Tonight, for the first time, he is going to treasure
- me.
I know it deep in my soul, even though I’m not sure where the knowledge comes from.
Some place inside of me I’ve never explored before. Somewhere I’ve never had access to before. But lately…I can feel something

more to my soul. Something I’m experiencing in flashes that feel half–imagined.
But all of that is driven from my mind as Cassian lowers his mouth to my nipple, circles it with his tongue, then closes his lips and begins to suck.
A lightning bolt of pleasure arcs through me and I cry out.
Cassian lets out a satisfied growl at the sound. His hands trail down my waist to my ass, and he lifts me in his arms.
I wrap my legs around his waist. He holds me in just the right spot. I press my aching core against his hard erection and roll my hips.
This time, he’s the one who has to catch his breath.
I love the sound of it—his little surprised gasp. It makes me feel powerful.
He takes me to the bed and lays me down. Then he bends over me and rips open my dress.
“Cassian! That was new!”
“I’ll buy you another one,” he mutters. His gaze is fixed on my exposed skin and the black bra I’m wearing.
The lace feels like no protection at all from the hunger in his

eyes, especially since one side is already pulled down.
The bra clasps in the front between my breasts. With two fingers, he reaches down and flicks it open.

It springs apart, spilling my breasts completely. Cassian makes a satisfied sound. He runs his fingers over my skin. They’re light as a summer breeze and leave me squirming and restless for
more.
Cassian tears my dress the rest of the way off of me, leaving me only in black lace panties.
I didn’t think anyone was going to see them, but sometimes I like to wear sexy underwear for myself.
Now, I was glad I had.
Cassian stands and slowly unbuttons his own shirt. He never takes his eyes off me as it slowly opens, revealing his perfect chest and the smooth muscles of his stomach.
I must be watching him as hungrily as he watches me, because when our eyes meet, it’s like actual sparks fly,
“You like what you see?” he asks, his voice slow and caressing,
“Yes,” I whisper.
He takes my hands and pulls me into a sitting position, then

places my hands on his skin. He shoulders out of his shirt, and it falls to the floor.
I’ve always loved to look at him, but I’ve never had an invitation to explore his body like this.
I drag my hands down his chest and abdomen, loving the hot, silky feel of him.
When my fingers get to his belt and the waistband of his pants, I don’t hesitate. I undo the buckle, then the button, then pull down the zipper of his fly.
“Gemma-” he says in a strangled voice.
At the same time, someone knocks on the door and calls, “Alpha Cassian!”
