He swung her legs up to rest on his shoulders, finding purchase as she dug her hands into the sheets.
“Please,” she groaned.
Maybe it was the please that did it, or maybe Cole couldn’t hold back any longer, but no sooner had the plea left her mouth, than he let go of all control, thrusting into her again. And again. Long strokes that filled her, swept her up, completed her.
Madison burrowed her fingers into his rump, her hips writhing with the quickening tempo. She became drunk with mindless pleasure.
“Yes. Yes. That’s it. Yes,” Cole urged her on, driving into her.
A long moan eased through her throat, interweaving with the hard slaps of her ass slamming into his thighs as he gripped her legs with bruising strength. Madison held on with everything she had, heavy tingles gathering in her stomach as the tension built. Her mind shut down until all she could feel was the brush of his cock pistoning into her, the guttural echoes of satisfaction peppering the air.
Cole’s attention was riveted on her face, his eyelids fluttering closed as pleasure hit him hard. The sight, the sound, the scent, the slide of his cock as he drove deep became too much. Madison screamed Cole’s name, although she couldn’t hear any sound over the roar of air as the world exploded around her. She was pure sensation, spiraling outward, shattering everything in her path as she let go.
“That’s it.” Cole’s ragged voice brought her back. His muscles strained, his movements growing erratic. “Fuck. Madison. Yes. I’m going to come.”
He buried himself as fully as he could, hips stuttering tight against her as his cock spasmed. The knowledge there was nothing between them—that Cole was truly the first—tipped Madison over the edge again and they lay, bodies quaking in the aftermath of pleasure.
Cole pulled her to him and Madison buried her hands in his hair, tilting his face to meet her gaze. Nothing could be more perfect than this moment. She wanted to cry. She wanted to laugh. But most of all, she wanted to…
“Stay. Like this. Forever.” She didn’t realize she’d murmured the words out loud until he answered.
“I’m here,” Cole said, dipping his head to indulge in another slow and thorough kiss.
Madison cupped his face. Her eyes searched his expression. What she saw there made her heart beat faster.
She drew in a breath. “I love you. I didn’t want you to leave tonight without knowing. I may not be everything you want, but my love for you is real.”
It was as if every muscle in Cole’s body relaxed. He buried his face in her hair, breathing deep.
“You’re more than I could ever imagine. Please, don’t think you have to hide who you are. You are perfect. So fucking perfect. And I love you,” he whispered into her neck, above her heart. “You and me. This is real.”
“Forever,” Madison confirmed.
And proceeded to show Cole just how real it could be.

The rules of engagement are clear: it’s all-out war. And their hearts are on the line.
One Moment, Book 1
It’s not that Abby Harkness’s ex cheated. Hell, it’s not even that he did the dirty with her own sister. The worst part? Everyone—even her own mother—knew about it before she did.
These days, Abby’s nomadic job makes it easy to stick to the rules that protect her heart. Rule number one: Never stay in any man’s bed more than one night. But when a carefully planned tryst falls through, she finds herself stranded in a boardroom—naked—with the one man who makes her body scream danger.
Three hours of mind-blowing sex later, Marcus Brookhein walks out of the boardroom feeling like he just lost. That doesn’t sit with someone who lives and breathes competition. Next time, he’s making the rules. Starting by getting her assigned to work side by side with him.
Abby is desperate not to repeat a night of pleasure that left cracks in her carefully constructed defenses. But four long weeks of close proximity loom before her. And Marcus has a lot to teach her about playing dirty…
