Excerpt
ADULT EXCERPT
Marina was crazy with desire. She ached from it. She was so wet and needy she could barely control her urges.
Fuck me.
She
 could think the word, but she’d never said it before and couldn’t force
 it past her throat. Sebastian said it to her—repeatedly some nights. 
She’d never brought herself to type the words back, but that’s all she 
could think right now. She arched off the bed, pressing her breasts 
toward his touch, needing him, moaning from that need. Her gaze locked 
with his, sensing how badly he wanted her. It shone in his eyes. So why 
didn’t he just fuck her?
His
 hands ran the length of her body. She closed her eyes as he roamed from
 her shoulders, over her breasts. He touched her nipple and she felt 
contractions begin in her womb, arched wildly, but it wasn’t enough. She
 wanted...needed, so much more.
“Please. Please.”
Thrashing
 wildly against the bed, crazed with passion, she didn’t realize at 
first he’d begun to move away from her. As he slid down her body, she 
whimpered from the loss of his touch, his heat. She missed the hard 
press of his cock. Even through his pants she’d felt it, undeniably 
wanting her.
“No, don’t leave me.”
“I’m not, princess. Shhh.”
His low tone calmed her fervor. She watched as his gaze took in all of her. No man had ever seen her naked before. For this man, she wanted desperately to be appealing. His tongue ran across his lips. She moaned.
“Touch me.”
His
 growl sent shivers along her skin. He lowered himself between her legs,
 pressing her thighs wider. She swallowed hard, watching him. For the 
longest time, he just looked, just examined her, eyes full of lust and 
raw need. She wanted to squirm, but couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe. 
When she could no longer bear it, she closed her eyes, felt his hot 
breath on her labia.
“Please.”
She
 hated him for making her beg, hated the throaty need in her voice, 
hated that she was so lost to the moment that she didn’t give a fuck 
what happened after.
She
 felt his finger first. She pressed deeper into the mattress to keep 
from flying off it while his fingers brushed her soft wet folds, 
separating them, tantalizing her. Feeling she would die from this, she 
laughed, so thrilled to finally be having these feelings, this 
experience.
When
 his mouth closed over her labia, his tongue now moving between her 
folds, she moaned deep in her throat, bit on the heel of her palm to 
keep from screaming out in raw pleasure. It was like being outside her 
own body, the intense pleasure he brought her almost too much, but if he
 stopped she’d never forgive him.
She
 moved her leg along his arm, hooking it over his shoulder, feeling his 
nails bite into the soft flesh of her ass as he pulled her closer to his
 mouth and ate her voraciously until she couldn’t see any longer.
Behind
 her closed lids she saw patterns of white and black. Her head began to 
spin. Her thighs spasmed with every pass of his tongue until finally she
 crested the enormous wave, screaming out in sheer ecstasy that nothing 
ever prepared her for—not even Sebastian’s patient explanations about 
how relations between man and woman worked. After experiencing this, she
 began to wonder if maybe Sebastian’s inexperience matched hers, because
 nothing he’d ever told her came close to this.
Wave
 after wave of pleasure rolled over her, slowly ebbing, leaving her 
unable to move, barely able to breathe. She lay on the bed, limp. 
Emotions rose, cresting, reeling from everything he’d done to her body. 
Her heart ached for this man she didn’t even know.
He
 knelt above her, unfastening his pants. She smiled weakly, not entirely
 sure how she was going to participate in this part. She reached for 
him. His gaze locked with hers. She wished he’d say something, anything 
that would make her feel a bit less vulnerable, but the hunger in his 
eyes spoke volumes and comforted her soul.
“You
 are the most incredibly passionate woman I’ve ever known.” He reached 
for her hand, kissing the palm. “I’m going to love you so completely, 
you won’t be able to remember your own name.” He came down atop her, his
 face an inch from her own. “I’m going to leave my presence on you so 
thoroughly, you won’t find another man to ever satisfy the way I can.” 
He kissed her near senseless. “The way I will.”
Her
 breath still not entirely recovered, she lay waiting for his claim on 
her body to become permanent. He kissed her mouth, re-igniting a flame 
that hadn’t really waned. At first she thought the pounding on the door 
was merely the pounding of her own heartbeat. Until…
“Marina, open the goddamned door this minute, you ungrateful bitch!”
