In the aftermath, I felt my muscles flutter futilely while his cock flexed in response. Our bodies communed while he pressed lazy kisses along the top of my shoulder.
“Is it always like that?” I asked before I could stop myself. I sounded drunk and felt that way too.
He rolled us over, slinging my body over his. “No. But I always hoped it could be.”
I smiled against his skin. “So I guess I’ll have to keep you around. You know, for the great sex.”
He sounded amused. “Whatever reason you need, I’ll give you.”
I shut my eyes against the rush of emotion. “And for what reason will you stay with me?”
“For the same reason I stood outside your window. To watch you dance.”
The simple, heartfelt words curled around me, adding another layer to the blanket of his arms. He wanted to see me free and happy—well, he would. Just to be with him, to hear the steady beat of his heart, filled me with a joy both complete and unending.
Thank you for reading SWEET! I hope you enjoyed Rose and Drew’s story. You can read the last book in the Underground series, Philip’s book now in DEEP!
Dark. Powerful. Dangerous.
Philip Murphy has all of Chicago under his thumb. Except her.
Ella met him in a perfect storm of violence and lust. He saved her and then disappeared from her life.
Now she pretends she never knew that kind of darkness. Midterms and campus parties, that’s her focus, and she applies herself with the hope they can wipe the slate clean.
Then Philip turns up outside her dorm room—wounded and barely conscious. He's the head of a criminal empire, a powerful man, but he needs her now. There are traitors in his midst.
She can help him, but she can't fall for him.
Not again.
