slap to her ass made her sigh in pleasure. After what Richard had done, it reignited all her needs once more. “Peace?” Josephine snorted. “You are the least peaceful person I know.”
    “You’re not exactly the queen of serenity yourself, baby.”
    “I’m plenty serene when I’m not with you.” She pummeled his ass. “Put me down. I’m getting a headache from hanging upside down.” He did, but only when they reached his bedroom. He dumped Josephine on the bed. Before she had a chance to move, he was on her.
    “We need to talk.” Alaric pinned her body down and grabbed at her skirt. The sound of tearing rent the air.
    “We never talk. We fuck.” Josephine struggled under him. Alaric continued ripping her dress. “What are you doing?”
    “I’m going to tie you up.”
    Oh yes, please . “Why?”
    “Because I have a feeling you’ll enjoy it, and I need you still and quiet.” Alaric finished ripping the fabric and grabbed one of her hands.
    Josephine made a halfhearted attempt to fight him, but the idea of being tied up appealed to her. Not even Richard had done that to her.
    She willingly allowed him to bind her other hand to the bedhead.
    “Alaric?”
    “What, baby?”
    “Who did you sleep with while we were apart?” Richard’s words still reverberated in her head.
    “No one.” He reached for one of her legs.
    “What about blood?” No vampire could live without that.

    Alaric lashed one hand to the bottom bedpost. “I don’t have to have sex to get blood. I prefer your blood, but there are ways to get what I need. I just have to—”
    “Don’t tell me. I don’t want to know.” Josephine knew some things were better unknown. “Why are my legs spread so far apart?”
    “For comfort.”
    “Mine or yours?”
    “Both.” Alaric lay between her thighs, his face level with hers, and he smiled. “Hello.”
    Josephine sighed. He had a beautiful smile. I could spend forever with that smile. “Hello.”
    “We need to stop arguing and just be together.”
    Josephine went to speak. Alaric put a finger to her lips.
    “I know I’m irresponsible and annoying and arrogant and I just expect you to fall into line with my plans, but I’m in love with you, and that makes me do crazy things.”
    “Like pull me from my wedding?”
    “And make love to you.”
    “And tie me up?”
    “And make love to you again.”
    He was impossible and beautiful and just perfect for her. “Why?”
    “Because I love having sex with you.”
    “Why?”
    “Because I adore you and I need to be with you and I’ll never leave you again.”
    Josephine wanted to believe that. “Really?”
    “You can trust me.” Alaric pushed back the hair from her face.
    “Yeah, the idea of marrying you to get Maverick House did appeal to me, but not for the reasons you think. I missed you. I needed you.” He started kissing her neck.
    “You were an idiot to let me go.”
    “Yes.” His lips moved up to her jaw.

    Oh, that was so nice. Josephine felt like she was melting under his soft, sweet kisses. “I’m the best thing that ever happened to you.”
    “Oh yes.” Alaric kissed all around her mouth, but not her lips.
    Josephine closed her eyes and gave in to the tender pleasure. “But this doesn’t mean I forgive you.”
    Alaric’s hands caressed her breasts. “No, I understand.”
    Did he really? “I need more from you.”
    “I’ll do whatever I can to make you happy.”
    “Alaric?” The need to be filled as only he could was upon her.
    She was wet and ready, and having the man she loved as close as her heartbeat was what she needed.
    “Yes, baby?”
    “Come inside me.”
    “With pleasure.” He wasted no time. Alaric freed his cock and pushed into her cunt.
    Alaric’s lips found hers, and they kissed as he fucked her with a slow, deep pace. She whimpered and cried out. She was tied up and at his mercy, and yet she wasn’t. This was exactly what Josephine wanted.
