She hadn’t wanted last night to end, but it did, and soon they would return to the home he’d shared with Cassie, the house where he couldn’t make love to her. Would he be able to now that they were married?
Michelle was standing under the hot shower sprays when the door was slid back and Erik stepped into the tub behind her. Silently, he reached for her, drawing her slippery body against him. She felt the full force of his manhood pressing against her slick buttocks. His hands went to her breasts and he cupped them in his palms and squeezed. Michelle gasped in pleasurable pain as her body turned as hot and liquid as the water falling off her skin. But something was terribly wrong. Something was eating him up inside. She felt a kind of wild fear in his touch, an acute possessiveness that went deeper than the desires of the flesh.
“Erik.” She tried to turn her head to look into his eyes, but he pushed her against the wall and bent her forward, raising one of her legs and placing her foot on the edge of the tub. His knees bent slightly. She felt his fingers brush between her thighs as he fitted the head of his erection to her opening. He came up hard and strong, entering her swiftly and deeply from behind.
Michelle felt every straining muscle, every blood-filled vein in his shaft as he sliced through her. He didn’t wait for her this time. He just started bucking and pumping wildly into her. His teeth sank into the back of her neck as he worked himself in and out, back and forth. His breathing labored, his grunts hard and rough.#p#分页标题#e#
But despite his roughness, the power from his thrusts sent spirals of ecstasy through Michelle. She gave herself up freely to the cruel passion until she felt him stiffen and tremble.
Erik’s hands tightened on Michelle’s breasts, so swollen with passion, the nipples felt like rough pebbles. And as the hot water cascaded down their heaving bodies, he poured himself into her. She was his salvation, his hope.
“Tell me you’ll never leave me.”
“Erik.” Michelle instinctively pushed backward to meet a hard delicious thrust.
“Tell me!”
“I’ll never leave you, Erik. I’ll never leave you.”
“Good. Good. Michelle…”
Erik came. He came hard and long as cries erupted from his throat. He fell forward, crushing Michelle between him and the wet tiles. He clung to her as his sex pulsed inside her. He never wanted to let her go. He never wanted to lose her. He never wanted to have to live without her.
Finally, he pulled from inside her and turned her around. He could tell she had been crying. She had cried for him, for his pain, his loss, his grief.
He turned off the faucet then kissed her wet cheeks and puffy eyelids. He kissed her mouth, his tongue seeking hers. He brought her close to him and felt life return to his loins. God this, sexy, slender woman was going to be the death of him.
He lifted and placed her on his shaft again, wrapping her legs around his waist, and his hands around her body. Carefully, he stepped out of the shower and stumbled toward the bed, their wet bodies still joined together. He arranged her buttocks on the edge of the mattress and draped her legs over his shoulders. He cupped her breasts, leaned in, and sank deeper into her.
She bucked, and her mouth opened on a long scream.
It was pure madness. They weren’t leaving this hotel room any time soon.
A deep growl erupted from his throat as he began to pump inside her.

Michelle gazed at Erik as they waited in the lobby for the valet to bring the Mercedes around. They had made love over and over again until their bodies literally shut down on them. They had no choice but to succumb to fatigue and had fallen into a long, deep sleep.
It was now early evening, and Michelle was dying to know what had driven him to take her so violently in the shower. She’d asked while they were getting dressed, but he hadn’t responded. Had they found Cassie’s killer? It was the only thing she knew that could unhinge him. “Are you ready to talk, Erik?” she asked gently. “I need to know what’s eating you.”
His eyes clouded over. “Danielle died early this morning.”
Michelle’s hand automatically flew to his arm. They’d been expecting it, but still… “Oh, Erik, I’m so sorry.” She now understood why he’d made her promise not to leave him. The women in his life were dying around him. He needed to know he could count on one. She would be there for him for as long as he needed her. “I meant what I said. I’m here for you. I’ll never leave. I’ll help you get through this difficult time, however you want me to.”
He placed his hand over hers resting on his arm. “Do me a favor.”
