An ache had settled in my heart, one solely focused on Lorelei Battenberg.

I could deny it all I wanted, but it didn’t make the feeling go away.

This would only intensify things.

Fuck it.

Shoving all common sense aside, I pressed my lips to hers, and she instantly opened like a flower blooming under the sun. I groaned as I slid my tongue into her mouth, reveling in her addictive flavor.

She tasted sweeter and richer than the most expensive and decadent chocolate I’d ever had the pleasure of trying.

I’d give up chocolate if I could taste her all damn day.

I slid my hands beneath her ass and lifted, drawing a gasp from her lips as her legs locked around my waist.

“Ax, what are we doing?” Her nails dug into my back just like I imagined they would.

I carried her to my bed and dropped her on the mattress before covering her body with mine. “Just being stupid and drunk, remember?”

“Yeah. Drunk. Right.” Her legs opened, welcoming me between them, and I rubbed my length against her pussy, wishing the few layers of clothing between us didn’t exist. That little moan she released had my balls tightening.

My fingers twisted in the hem of her tank top, and I drew the delicate material over her head, unveiling her breasts. “So fucking perfect, Lore.” I licked one of her pink nipples and then swirled my tongue around it before sucking it into my mouth.

She arched her back and whimpered. “Axel, please… feels so good.”

I was just getting started.

“I love those little noises you make, baby.” I tweaked and twisted her other nipple while I let my tongue lavish this one until she was wriggling beneath me. “Tell me how much you like this.”

Her fingers tangled in my hair, pulling on the roots so hard my scalp burned. “Have you been possessed by a sex demon or something, Vanderhart? You’ve barely touched me, and I’m already having trouble keeping myself together.”

A satisfied grin tugged at my mouth as I peered up from her chest. “Sex demon? You haven’t seen anything yet.” I trailed kisses down her stomach and then her thigh. “Wait until you see what my tongue can do between your legs.”

The shudder that ran through her delivered another dose of lust into my bloodstream. “Axel, maybe you shouldn’t do that. I don’t know if I can keep quiet, and I don’t want to wake everyone up.”

Just the thought of her losing control because of me sent fire through my bloodstream. “Dinner was hours ago, blondie, and I’m starved. I need something to eat, and it might as well be you.”

As I pressed my face into the apex of her legs and nibbled her pussy through the thin layers of clothes, she jerked against me. “Axel!”

And then my phone buzzed with a text message.

Son of a bitch!

I emerged from between Lorelei’s legs and grabbed my phone off the bedside table, intending to chuck it across the room until I read the message.

Vaughn: If you took something from the archives, I will find out. Expect severe punishment.

The blood drained from my face. I’d palmed that jump drive, and the cameras couldn’t have picked up on that. I was careful.

Still, if Vaughn managed to locate the inventory list and comb through every item in that drawer, he could figure it out.

“Ax, what’s wrong?” Lorelei’s breathy voice yanked me from the dark thoughts, and I found her shoving her tank top over her head.

Clearly, the moment had passed.

What in the fuck were we doing?

I could see the same panic mirrored in her eyes. “Everything’s fine. I just…”
