Free Hot for His Hostage by Angel Payne Page B

even his
     girlfriend.
    Right .
    How did that saying go? The definition of insanity: doing the same thing and expecting different results .
    A second round with Bryce had been a giant bite of insanity.
    Or maybe, as she’d desperately feared, all lifestyle Dominants were like that.
    She’d been too scared to research the point beyond that, opting to keep her remaining
     D/s fantasies intact—until tonight, when Shane Burnett had stepped out of her dreams
     and into that airport bar. Now here she was, naked in his arms, perhaps more than
     physically—and the man’s features were an agonizing zero for clarification. His face
     barely changed beyond his vigil on her, which was too damn arousing for comfort. She
     squirmed a little, wondering why his scrutiny made her pussy clench instead of setting
     her nerves on high alert, until he swept his mouth down to hers in another consuming
     kiss.
    Damn, could the man kiss.
    Okay, maybe it wasn’t so important to dissect him this very second. Especially when
     the alternative was so delicious.
    Their moans mingled as he intensified their embrace. Vaya , how his rich, spicy taste made her thirsty for more. How his dark, decadent scent
     surged her senses. How his big body was a muscled marvel against her. Over her.
    He gave her more of it all when he grabbed both her wrists then redirected her hands
     over the muscles she’d just been craving. Zoe moaned as he guided her fingers up his
     taut stomach, over his massive chest then atop the shoulders that bunched, hard and
     mesmerizing, beneath her exploring fingers. Hesitantly at first but encouraged by
     his aroused hiss, Zoe let her lips follow along the same path.
    “Zoe. Sweet baby girl. Yessss. ”
    Perhaps it was good she had no brain left. If she had, the thing would’ve been blown
     apart by everything about this experience. He actually let her touch him. And dear
     God, how he caressed her in return. Connected with her. Called her sweet and beautiful,
     and told her about all the ways she pleased him—yet through it all, never let her
     forget exactly who called the shots between them tonight.
    Him. Only him.
    And she didn’t want it any other way.
    The confession pealed joy through her heart as Shane pulled her off her feet again.
     This time, he used the motion to lower her to the bed, following her to the mattress.
     Once more, she wondered if she was living out a movie script, everything included
     except the sultry R&B soundtrack. Especially the most devastating leading man she
     could ever ask for.
     “Still convinced I’m secretly a little green man from a planet made of cheese?” he
     finally whispered.
    She ran a hand up his muscled neck. “Like you’ve been labeled ‘little’ a day in your
     life.”
    She expected him to chuckle. Instead, a frown formed across his face. “That’d be a
     negative,” he muttered. Aha . More military talk. The words were like a flag in front of Zoe, practically beckoning
     her to call him out again. Burnett wasn’t stupid; he knew it, too—but as she pulled
     in breath for the words, he sucked them from her with another hard kiss.
    Dios , this man and his kisses.
    He didn’t even give her time to regroup. Thunder gathered in his chest, rougher than
     before, as he pressed his forehead to hers. At the same time, he positioned his knees
     inside hers then shoved them wide. With a harsh grunt, he swept her arms over her
     head, capturing both her wrists beneath one of his.
    Zoe writhed, whimpered, and shivered. Maybe he’d truly thrown her into a rocket and
     taken her to another planet. Everything felt so surreal. His hands were now forged
     in iron. His stare was hammered copper. Even the abrasion of his wool pants inside
     her thighs was a visceral reminder of the delicious contrasts between them. Steel
     against soft. Command met with compliance. A Dominant preparing to take his submissive.
    Yes. Oh, yes.
    She didn’t realize the word had tumbled out aloud
