“If that’s what both your parents choose.”
Her gaze narrowed on him. “And what did you advise, exactly? Surely you’re not passing judgement because it’s me who wants that land?”
“You’re pretty damn good at getting everything you want—”
“I’ve gotten nothing that I wanted!” she erupted, not giving a damn who heard her. Luckily, the hallway was currently empty. “There were only two things, ever. And I lost them both, so—”
His hand shot out and he clasped her upper arm. He dragged her into an unoccupied restroom and slammed the door behind them. Locked it. Pressed Jewel’s back against the smooth wood.
“You didn’t lose me,” he insisted, his eyes full of rage … and red-hot desire. Stealing Jewel’s breath. “I was just never enough for you.”
Emotion roared through her. Tears burned her eyes. “That is absolutely not true.” Her chest rose and fell quickly, her body instantly responding to the nearness of him. The heat and intensity that always lit her up. “I’m not the one who left.”
“Goddamn it, Jewel.”
Anger radiated from him.
Exciting her.
A heartbeat later his mouth crashed over hers in a hungry, demanding kiss. A greedy one that immediately commanded her passion and ignited a firestorm within her.
She’d never forgotten how crazed Vin made her—not just in an infuriating way but also in a sexy way. How powerful the attraction was between them. The need … the fever. Her fingers plowed through his thick hair as his arms wrapped around her and he hauled her up against him. Held her tight.
She remembered how sometimes the insanity and intensity of the moment would scare her—not because of anything she feared Vin doing to her. But because of how vehemently she responded to him. How willingly she gave herself over to him. How she let the inferno consume her, let him have her in any way he wanted her.
It was irrational, illogical, how she became someone else with Vin D’Angelo. How she became a wild creature that wanted to claw at him. To rip open his shirt and literally claw at him.
Jewel knew he felt the same.
He shoved her skirt up, pushed her thong to the side, and thrust two fingers into her. Rocking her to the core of her being. Not just from the sudden, scorching invasion, but because he knew—he’d always known—she’d be wet for him, dripping and ready for whatever he did to her.
He stroked aggressively, confidently. Masterfully. Owning her as all the sizzling sensations flamed within her.
The pad of his thumb rubbed her clit with just the right amount of pressure. He didn’t release her from their sizzling kiss, making the fire burn brighter.
Her orgasm was seconds away. She wondered if he’d let her have it. Or if he intended to punish her for her night with Rogen.
But then he stroked faster, with sheer determination. Jewel tore her mouth from his and cried out as the climax burned through her. She instantly bit into Vin’s shoulder to quiet herself.
Oh, God! He’d been right—he did make her scream!
Her body quaked from her release and she clung to Vin, her breath coming in heavy pulls. As did his.
Getting her off turned him on. Melded to him, she could feel his steel erection.
“You want my cock inside you, don’t you?”
It was so fucking risky to get tangled up with both men. She’d already forewarned herself.
But it was also inevitable.
“Yes,” she said on a lust-filled breath.
Vin let out a low, sensuous growl at her immediate consent. Her instant surrender.
“Can you take me the way you used to?”
Magma replaced the blood in her veins. “Yes.” She had a well-stocked goody drawer at home that kept her primed. Even though there hadn’t been anyone in her life these past several years to be primed for.
