muscles straining to bring her ecstasy.
He didn’t disappoint. When their mouths came together and she tasted herself on his lips, they both splintered apart.
Sloan’s thrusting slowed and became more erratic, but it was just as hard and demanding.
Her second orgasm of the night was more intense than the first. She screamed out Sloan’s name as he groaned and stilled above her. She could feel his cock twitch as he came inside of her.
He collapsed on top of her, evidently not worried about crushing her. She liked that. They stayed like that, lying together enjoying the afterglow while they were still joined.
They were both breathing heavily, but she still managed to rattle the handcuffs against the headboard and ask, “Can you take these damn things off now?”
Sloan kissed her sensually as he wiggled his hips. “I don’t want to get out yet,” he said while pouting.
She just laughed. “Tough. My arms are starting to hurt.” She was so comfortable with him.
She felt relaxed and sated as he slid out of her, and she groaned at the loss of feeling so full while he slid off the bed, retrieving his combats where she assumed the key to the cuffs were.

Annika knew this would happen when she left that note under the marine’s door. She was glad her sister was getting a little action with the marine, but did she have to scream so loud? She had to fend off every warrior within half a mile radius from coming to her sisters “rescue” after hearing her wail.
She didn’t mind, really. Her sister knew she liked to watch and listen to a couple going at it, and she was getting turned on listening beyond the door. As long as her sister didn’t know about her presence, she didn’t care.
Thank God it sounded like they’d finished. She could go back to her room and have her own climax with BOB, her battery operated boyfriend.
She was brought back from her X-rated musings by the sound of a warrior’s war cry coming from outside.
Chapter 9
“Shit! Take these damn cuffs off. Now !”
“Oh, no you don’t. You’re not running away from me after that.” Sloan demanded, stopping his search for the key.
“I’ve got to,” Crimson said in a serious tone as she pulled her wrists apart, breaking the headboard and handcuffs.
“How the hell…?” Her strength should have shocked him, but for some reason, it didn’t.
Someone burst into the room. He quickly covered his nakedness and spun to defend the entering threat
“You again?”
“Were you listening?” Crimson asked, speaking to the same woman who interrupted them in the alley.
“Sorry to interrupt, soldier boy, nice body by the way, and Crim, sue me, but it was hard not to when standing outside your door convincing several of the residents here not to knock the damn door down when they heard you scream.”
Crimson blushed as he filled with pride.
“They’re back and pissed,” the intruder stated before she ran back out.
“What? Who’s they? And why are they pissed? Is it the same guy as last time?” he questioned as he followed her lead and dressed.
“Leave it, Sloan. It doesn’t concern you. Stay here.” Making her way to the door, she turned and said, “I’ll be back soon.”
“Fuck that. Tell me what the fuck is happening. I can help.” He made to follow her, but she closed the door in his face and locked it.
“Bitch!” he whispered in shock.
Well, he hadn’t come in through the door, so he guessed he wouldn’t leave through it either.
As he headed to the window he came in through, picking up his knife on the way, he wondered how she recovered so quickly after the most amazing sex of his life. He still felt like he was flying, so climbing out a window probably wasn’t the best idea, but needs must.
He had to find Crimson and find out why she kept running from him.
When he hit the ground, he took off running toward the sound of shouting, grunts, and metal hitting metal.
When he rounded the corner, he felt
