Claim (A Dangerous Man, #3)
her sweetness, and how easy it would be to let everything go, and allow myself to sink into her, body and soul, completely, forever.
    I hold her against me, listening as her breathing slows and her skin cools, and then I also fall asleep.
    ~§~§~§~§~
    I wake up later than usual. I’m lying on my side, with Sophie snuggled against my chest. It’s surprising how well I’ve slept, considering that I have so much to worry about.
    Sophie protests sleepily when I pull away from her, but she doesn’t wake up.
    I take a shower and start to get ready for work. I’m putting on my clothes when Sophie comes into the dressing room.
    “Hey.” I turn at the sound of her voice and find her standing at the door, watching me with a wistful expression. “I wish you wouldn’t leave so early.” She says.
    I want to tell her that there’s nothing I would prefer to a few carefree days with nothing to do but discover her body in every way. But I’m afraid that if I say the words out loud, I might make another impulsive decision. I turn away from her and walk toward the mirror, busying myself with knotting my tie. I’m on the verge of throwing everything away and taking her somewhere far away, where it’ll be just the two of us...
    “I know you’re really busy...” her voice cuts into my thoughts, faltering, apologetic.
    I leave what I’m doing and turn to her, if anyone should be apologizing, it should be me. “I’m sorry, Sophie.” I take a deep breath. “Yes, I’ve been busy. I’ve had to deal with certain issues at work, issues that were there even before I met you, but that’s no excuse.”
    She moves towards me. “I understand,” She says earnestly, “really. I’m not complaining. I just wish we had a little more time for us.” Her eyes are wide and hopeful. I feel like a bastard.
    “Things will clear up soon,” I hear myself saying, even though I have no assurance of that, “and then I’ll make it up to you, I promise. We’ll go somewhere that’ll blow your mind.”
    “You blow my mind.” Her words are shy, but they’re enough to heat my blood. I smile, raising her face to look at mine. I’m about to lean down and kiss her, when she rises up on her toes and places her lips over mine. I kiss her back, my tongue delving into the sweet recesses of her mouth. Then she suddenly pushes me away and runs her hands down the front of my shirt dropping to her knees in front of me.
    Her fingers flit over the front of my pants, and my body responds forcefully. I can hardly wait as she undoes my zipper and frees me from the constraints of my underwear. Then she takes me in her mouth.
    The heat nearly sends me over the edge. Her hot lips, velvety tongue, the sweet moist pressure as she tightens her lips around me and takes me deeper into her mouth... It’s driving me insane. I bury my fingers in her hair, my knees going weak as she moves her head back and forth, her tongue teasing me to madness. There’s no technique to what she’s doing. It’s just her, lovely, sexy, and mine. She moans against me, and the sound pushes me over the edge. I come with a loud groan.
    She swallows. Her lips are still tight around me as I pull out of her mouth. My legs are shaky, and I can’t catch my breath, I drop to my knees beside her.
    “You’re a bag of surprises, aren’t you?” I growl, taking her lips as my fingers delve under her t-shirt to feel how wet she is. She moans, rotating her hips around my fingers.
    “You’re ready for me.” I whisper softly against her ear.
    She nods.
    I stroke her until she’s shaking and moaning her desire, her hips bucking sweetly to my touch. When I know she can’t take much more, I turn her around and enter her slowly from behind.
    She’s so tight and so responsive. Her body tightens around me, her low moan piercing my brain. I close my eyes and let my body take over, pushing myself deeper into her with each thrust. I find her breasts under her t-shirt and fill my hands with their
