“Why’s that good, Maddox?”
He leans into my space. “Because I had a whole plan, Hannah. I was going to make us dinner. And we were going to watch a movie. And then I was going to bring you up to my bedroom.”
“And now?” I ask.
“Now, we’re gonna start in my bedroom.”
I blink, giving him my most innocent expression. “What are we gonna do there?”
“You’re going to strip naked and lie on my bed.” My heart rate jumps, and his fingers flex like he can feel the change. “And I’m going to start with my face between your thighs.”
“Start?” I whisper.
“Yeah, Babe, that’s how we’ll start. Because we’re gonna end with my cock buried inside you and you calling out my name.”
“Fuck,” I breathe.
“Precisely.” Maddox drops his hand from my neck and picks my bag up off the ground.
He holds his free hand out to me, and I take it.
There’s not a moment wasted as he pulls me up the walkway to the front door.
He doesn’t pause as we cross the threshold into his grand entryway.
I look up, trying not to gawk at the two-story ceiling and the exposed stairway that leads up to the second floor.
I kick my sandals off as we cross the dark-stained wood floors because Maddox doesn’t slow or give me a tour. He just leads me up the stairs.
My head spins with a mixture of excitement and nerves.
The last time we had sex, it was frantic. A little drunk. And our clothes mostly stayed on.
But I have a feeling tonight is going to be a little more intense.

MADDOX
I don’t know the last time I felt this out of control. But I’m lost to the lust brewing inside me, and I don’t care.
There will be no reining it in. I’m going to indulge in it.
Hannah’s footsteps are quick beside me to keep up with my stride, but she doesn’t complain.
She’s as ready for this as I am.

HANNAH
We’re both breathing heavily by the time we reach a set of doors that Maddox swings wide, leading us into a massive bedroom suite.
The walls are white. The floor is the same dark wood as the rest of the house. Windows and doors lead to other spaces, but none of that matters, because all I can see is Maddox.
And his giant bed.
