Scent of a Mate (Sassy Mates, #1)

His deep voice made goose bumps spread over her skin. “Hmm?”


“I’m not going anywhere.” He stared deep into her eyes. “You are a beautiful woman inside and out, and I want to spend more time with you. I know you’ve had that awful experience with your previous marriage.”

She glanced away, but slowly turned back to him. “Our time at the island taught me something.” She swallowed at the fear trying to worm its way into her chest. “You’re not like my ex, and I need to stop thinking all men are.”

“I don’t ever want to hurt you.”

Her heart flipped. Joy seeped through her pores and settled in her chest, warming the emotions she’d frozen long ago. “I know.”

“But I don’t want to let you go.”

She smiled. Happiness burst through her fear and kicked it to the curb. “So what do you want?”

“I want us to go back to the island and finish that vacation. I want to spend more days watching the sunset together.”

“I think that’s a very good idea.”

His gaze bore into hers. “No pressure. I just want you. Time with you.”

“That’s an offer I can accept.” She smiled and stroked his cock with her hand.

“Perfect. Now let’s see about your clothes.” His flirty grin melted her heart.

“I have one request.” She leaned forward and flicked her tongue over his nipple, enjoying his sharp intake of air. “Fuck me. I really want us to do it again. A lot of times.”

In a movement so fast she didn’t get a chance to react, he picked her up in his arms and held her. She curled her arms around his neck. “Matt, I’m big, put me down.”

“Nah, you’re all sexy curves, and I love it.”

The big, handsome jerk was gonna get a hernia. She felt him toe off his shoes and kick his jeans to the side.

“Which way to your room?” He kissed her shoulder.

She turned her head to the side to give him better access and pointed down the hall. “First door to your left.”

“I know we can make this work.” He gave her the “I’m going to fuck you brain dead” smile. Her * fluttered, desperate for him to fill her.

“I think so too.” She laughed. “Now let’s go see about getting me naked and laid.”
