ow, Arianna would have to watch the male she adored fall in love right before her eyes with the cousin she loved like a sister. She was trapped, and there was not a thing she could do about it.

AYA’S directions, Vaughn pulled up to an apartment building. He exited the car and walked around to let Naya out. He shut her door, and she turned to face him, holding her hand out for the keys. Ignoring her request, he stalked toward her as if she was his prey, which was true in a sense, and he licked his bottom lip.

Eyes wide and lips pa
rted, she dropped her hand and dreamily walked backward toward the building, her gaze locked on him.

He looked her up and down, appreciating her little black dress and the curves it revealed, not
bothering to hide his desire. He grunted. “Damn, I can’t wait to get inside.”

She ogled his mouth,
her eyes going half-mast, as her tongue darted out in an unconscious response. “The apartment?” she asked dazedly.

“No.” H
e shook his head. “
You
.”

Her eyes flew up to his as her face
flushed under the streetlight, her feet still shuffling in reverse. He glanced behind her and barely called out, “Naya—” before she smacked into the door.

She
went from pink to a deep crimson. While he managed to hold in his laugh, he couldn’t stop the grin from spreading across his face. In an effort to ease her awkwardness, he grabbed her hand and kissed her knuckles.

He led her inside the building and headed for the elevator. “What floor?” he asked
once they were inside.

With
her eyes dilated and cheeks red, she stammered “Uh…second.” She looked adorable with embarrassment coloring her, and this time, he didn’t hide his chuckle. She smiled up at him and laughed at herself. “You distract me.”

He growled and pulled her body to his, making sure she was aware of how
much he wanted her. “I like that.”

She sucked in her breath
, and her look matched the heat he felt. Good, he wasn’t the only one affected. She stepped away when the elevator doors opened as she grasped his hand to lead him toward her door where he handed her the keys.

Once inside, she set her little purse and keys on an end table
, and they kicked off their shoes. “This is Kenzie’s place,” she said. “I help her with the rent since I have my own bedroom and stay here quite a bit, but technically, I live with my parents.” She chuckled. “It’s kind of complicated.”

He put an arm around her a
nd gathered her close before kissing her. “I don’t care who you live with.” Hell, he wasn’t going to judge anyone about living arrangements.

Seeing movement out of the corner of his eyes, he looked down to see a big tabby cat
walking their way. He released Naya to lean down, holding out his hand, and the cat sauntered up to him. “Who’s this?”

“Oh, that’s Crabby Abby. But she
doesn’t really…like…anyone.”

He picked up the cat, and she rubbed her face and neck against him, purring loudly. Naya’s jaw hung open.

He smiled at her. “What can I say?” he said as he set the cat down. “Women love me.”

Naya laughed. “I just bet they do.”

He placed a quick kiss on Naya’s mouth and then examined their surroundings from where they were standing in the entryway leading into the living room. Off to each side of the living room was a bedroom, with a bathroom next to the bedroom on the right, and the kitchen sat straight ahead in the back. Thankfully, the bedrooms weren’t next to each other.

Naya followed his gaze to the bedroom with the closed door
on the left. “Oh. It looks like Kenzie beat us home,” she said. “I thought she was going to stay longer. I wonder what happened?” she added more to herself than to him.

“I guess we were in the parking lot longer than we thought.”

She giggled. “I guess so.” She turned to him. “Would you like a drink? Or…do you want to see my room?”

He drew her close and ran his thumb over her plush lips. “Room.”

Her scent slowly changed—God, he loved the effect he had on her—and she licked her lips. Naya took his hand and strolled toward the open door to the right. “This side is mine. Kenzie has the master,” she said, entering her room.

She turned around as they stood on opposite sides of the threshold
, and she bit her lip nervously. Before she could question what they were doing, he pressed her forward, following her into the room, and he kicked the door closed behind him. Without waiting a second longer, he hauled her against him and spun around to push her back against the door. They stared at each other for a heartbeat, and then he kissed her, slow and sweet. He was giving her time to accept him and the idea of them being together.

Damn, she tastes
good
.

She moaned into his
mouth and sucked on his tongue. Immediately, he imagined her doing the same thing to his cock, and he lost all semblance of control.

Briefly, he pulled away to grab
the tie in the back of her hair, letting the dark waves fall down to the middle of her back before kissing her again. Later, he wanted to be able to grab onto it while he thrust inside her.

He
could tell she didn’t have a lot of sexual experience, and he knew he should probably slow down. But when he pulled down the straps of her dress, letting it fall to her full hips, she didn’t stop him. Instead, she drew away from their kiss to pull off his shirt, and then she pushed her chest out before guiding his head down to her bare breasts.

The way this careful, reserved girl suddenly and completely gave herself to him was arousing as hell.
It reminded him of the saying,
A lady in the parlor and a whore in the bedroom
, and it was totally fucking sexy.

Naya’s breasts were high and full, and her nipples, a dusty rose color, were engorged and begging for attention. Not wanting to disappoint the lad
y, he complied with her request. Drawing one tip into his mouth, he sucked and bit down with just the right amount of pressure. She whimpered and dug her nails into his scalp as he moved from one to the other, giving her breasts equal consideration. Apparently, her nipples liked the attention, maybe a little too much, so he didn’t linger too long. When he’d told her she wouldn’t come without him inside her, he’d been dead serious.

Vaughn moved back up to Naya’s mouth and kissed her again as she tugged at his jeans. He helped her unbuckle his belt, and she unzipped him. Never bothering with underwear, his co
ck sprang into her waiting hand. Naya broke their kiss, and he heard the sudden intake of her breath. He chuckled to himself. He wasn’t built small, and being a red-blooded male, he never tired of a female’s reaction to seeing him with his pants off.

Vaughn pushed his jeans down, kicked them off, and
tugged Naya’s dress off her hips until it landed on the floor. He admired her tiny white panties for all of two seconds before ripping them off and tossing them aside.

He pulled one of her legs up over his hip, and she closed her eyes, sucking on her bottom lip as she pushed her pelvis toward him. Vaughn slipped a finger into her to test her readiness.

“Fuck, you’re tight.”
And hot and wet
. He was afraid his dick would burst before he even got inside her.

Not wanting to hurt her with his size, he dropped to his knees and pulled her
thigh over his shoulder. She was almost bare between her legs, and he could see her pussy was slick, puffy, and pink.
Beautiful
. Giving her no further warning, he parted her lips and sucked her clit into his mouth, causing her to cry out and grab onto his head as if she were afraid he’d stop. He pushed two fingers into her heat, and her head fell back against the door as she let out a loud moan. She smelled and tasted great. The scent of vanilla mixed with the muskiness of her arousal. Adding a third finger, he kissed and licked her until he was sure she was ready to take him.

Vaughn pulled his head away and stood while Naya moaned in frustration. She didn’t utter a word, but she looked at him with ache and
protest in her eyes.

“Don’t worry, baby.
I’m going to make it all better very soon.” He grabbed Naya around the waist and picked her up to position himself at her entrance. He studied her face. “Ready?”

“Do it,” she commanded

He drove inside, pushing in to the hilt. She felt fucking fantastic, warm and slick, and she immediately started contracting around him.

“Holy fuck,
” Vaughn said.

Her unexpected response
made him lose his hold, and they fell against the door. He hoped he hadn’t hurt her. He was disappointed he hadn’t gotten to watch her initial reaction, but he wasn’t too worried as he felt her inner muscles continuing to pulse around his cock while she moaned deep in her throat. Hitting the door had been the only thing holding him back from following her over the edge as her core squeezed around him like a fist.

Taking deep breaths, he stood still as her orgasm waned and watched the satisfaction wash over her face. He waited until she opened her eyes and looked at him.

“Now, it’s my turn,” he said

W
hen he knew he had her attention, he began to thrust. With one arm wrapped around her waist, he used the other hand to cup the back of her neck. He threaded his fingers through her hair, forcing her to watch him. He wanted her to know who was inside her, who was responsible for her pleasure. She returned his stare, and he liked that she wasn’t shying away from his gaze.

He pumped into her over and over until the sensations were almost too much, and she closed her eyes and moaned. “Naya.” She opened them again, her
eyes glassy. “Eyes open, baby. I want you to look at me when you come.”

Her only response was to rake her nails across his back, and he loved knowing he’d wear her marks tomorrow. Pulling her close, he kissed her again
. Then he moved his mouth down toward where her neck met her shoulder, and he kissed her there, even though he really wanted to bite and suck her. Her moans increased in volume, and he felt the moment she was ready to tip over the edge again, so he moved his head up to watch her experience the orgasm he was about to give her. There would be no taking him by surprise this time.

But she got the jump on him. He had been s
olely concentrated on her reaching her peak first that she stunned him when she grabbed his head and bit down on his neck. It felt so damn good. When she sucked firmly as her body tightened around him with release, he couldn’t hold onto his already barely leashed control. He threw his head back, letting his body take over, and he experienced the most intense orgasm of his life. He didn’t even care that he’d missed watching her climax once again.
