Going in Deep (Billionaire Bad Boys 4)

“I didn’t think we’d be back together like this,” he said in a gruff voice. One that held a hint of gratitude, too.
“Me, either.” She sunk her hands into his hair at last.
“I won’t take it for granted.”
She felt his words for the promise they were. And then she felt him, the head of his cock slipping between her thighs.
He lifted her easily, and she wrapped her legs around his waist as he pulled her down on his waiting shaft. As he slid inside her, her inner walls clamped tight around him. He was thick and full inside her, providing a respite from the ache he caused, but not complete relief.
“Move,” she whispered, kissing from his jaw to his mouth, razor stubble abrading her lips as she glided across his skin.
“Whatever you want, baby.” He braced her against the window and began to thrust.
She gasped and placed her hands on his shoulders, absorbing the impact with every muscle, every fiber of her being wrapped up in the sensual onslaught taking over her body. He picked up a rhythm she quickly became attuned to, hitting all the right spots, causing her desire and need to spike higher.
“Julian.” She said his name on a moan, her body trembling, on the edge of release.
Without warning, he shifted position, lifting her leg higher, and his cock hit deeper inside her.
“God, Julian!” She cried out his name once more, lost to sensation.
He continued to thrust into her until white dots of light sparkled behind her eyes and her entire being was consumed by an explosive orgasm that shook her to the depths of her soul. “Oh, oh, oh!”
“That’s it, baby, come hard for me.”
She dug her nails into his back, holding on as she came, the shuddering waves seeming to go on forever. Just as the contractions racking her body began to subside, Julian thrust one last time and came with a groan.
“Kendall, baby. Fuck.” He pounded inside her once, then twice more before stilling, his big body shaking against hers.
Dampness slickened his skin, and hers, as he finally separated them. She felt the loss of his body heat and thickness inside her.
“Come on.” He bent and swept her into his arms, carrying her from the living room through the apartment and into his bedroom, depositing her onto his bed.
He walked to the bathroom, returning a few minutes later, and grabbed her naked body, pulling her into his arms. Without warning, the bed dipped, and she realized Steve had settled on the corner of the mattress along with them.
She grinned and snuggled against Julian, realizing he had never been a cuddler. Not before. But this was now, and they were starting fresh. And with that reality, her mind began to work again, and her thoughts came too fast and furiously for her liking.
Kendall had had a lot of sex in her past, more than she liked to think about, even if she now understood why she’d sought out that particular high. And this was the first time in her life she felt deeper emotions to go along with the physical act.
Even when she’d been with Julian before, it’d been quick and fun, and any feelings she’d begun to develop for him had been separate from sex. Sex and sentiment were new to her, and she acknowledged the lump in her throat now as something serious. She’d recognized it during sex with Julian a little while ago. Even as her body had taken over and passion had overcome thought, she’d been aware that her emotions were engaged on a whole different level.
It hadn’t taken long for him to work his way back into her heart in some way. And knowing the complications that came with any kind of relationship with this man, fear nearly paralyzed her. Instead she pushed herself away from him, nearly jumping off the bed in an attempt to escape.

One minute Julian had Kendall in his arms, feeling satisfied and on the verge of dozing off. For a few blissful minutes, all had been right in his world. Then she’d stiffened, and he assumed her brain function had returned and panic had set in. He’d been prepared when she’d bolted from bed. Ready to grab her around the waist and pull her back down to the mattress.
He braced himself over her, his arms on either side of her shoulders.
Her eyes were wide, her breathing shallow.
“Kendall, look at me.”
Big blue eyes settled on his face. “I can’t do this. Don’t you understand? Everything I’ve built, everything I need for stability could come crashing down around me.”
Her words stabbed at his heart, but he understood where the fear was coming from. He’d always known if he ever wanted back into her life, he’d have some big dragons to slay in the form of his ex-best friend and Kendall’s twin sister.
