the definition of misery. Erika had lied to herself and said it was the headache she’d endured but the truth was that the pain came from a place lower. She was heartsick, pure and simple. It hurt to breathe and all she could do was stay in bed, rest and try to crack the code on the computer and find information about Exacto.
    Looking through the peephole, seeing him standing there in the flesh, Erika threw logic aside and opened the door. She was fresh from the shower, still dripping water and naked beneath the robe, and her thighs heated when primal hunger registered in his blue eyes.
    He stalked inside, closed the door behind him and picked her up.
    She wrapped her legs around his toned midsection and let him claim her mouth—she wanted to be his right then for that moment.
    His tongue slicked across her teeth before delving deep inside her mouth, his intense need matching hers. She tunneled her fingers into his thick dirty-blond hair and dug her nails into his scalp. He responded with a guttural groan as his hands splayed on her ass and squeezed. Only a thin piece of denim kept her slick heat shielded from his thick erection. He turned her toward the wall until her back pressed against it. Using it as leverage to keep her right where he wanted her, he unzipped and then dropped his jeans.
    Allowing him inside the room was a mistake she’d pay for later. For now, she wanted to feel his weight on top of her, his cock filling her, stretching her until nothing else mattered but the two of them and everything else melted into the abyss.
    His hot, silky head found the cradle of her wet pussy and he entered her with his tip.
    â€œOh, God, angel. You’re going to destroy me,” he said against her lips.
    She’d missed everything about him. The minty taste of his toothpaste mixed with the strong taste of coffee when he kissed her. His spicy masculine scent. She could still smell the ocean in his hair.
    Erika struggled to gain purchase on his shoulders, her fingers digging into his skin as she rocked her hips. One deep thrust and he was inside her. Her body stretched around him, adjusting to his size and everything in her crazy world seemed right.
    She drove her tongue in his mouth as he slammed her against the wall, thrust after thrust. A thousand tiny explosions rocked her brain with pleasure as an intense pressure built from low inside her, begging for release.
    Jace had maneuvered her legs over his arms, his hands pressing into the wall, and he fucked her harder so he could reach deep to her core. Her breasts pressed against his chest as he tilted his head in order to kiss her.
    â€œI missed you…us.” He thrust harder, deeper, and she could feel his muscles tense as he neared the edge. His entire body trembled as his cock pulsed inside her.
    â€œMe, too, Jace.”
    He froze, and then looked straight into her eyes. “You mean that?”
    â€œYeah. So fuck me.”
    That was all the encouragement Jace needed. He dipped his full cock in and out of her wet pussy until she begged him to make her explode.
    He pulled her from the wall, in a frantic heat, placed her on the corner of the bed and wrapped her ankles around his neck.
    The next time he drove inside her, her muscles quivered…climbing toward that sweet release only Jace could give her…
    He pumped inside her again and again…until she absolutely detonated all around him. Her body shook as he brought her to climax and pushed her over the edge. And then she felt his balls tighten against her skin. He thrust deeper and with a primal groan, he pulled out just in time.
    Both of them stayed still, neither moved an inch, as they caught their breath.
    Erika slid her legs down the sides of his body and scooted up the bed until her head rested on the pillow. If she was smart, she’d keep an eye on Jace. There were still so many unanswered questions.
    Instead, she relaxed into a deep sleep.
