Shelike an arrow straight to his cock, or maybe it was her defiance and his need to conquer Or just her Just Sonia

"Joshua, I want to give youyou ask for, but I'd be lying to you and I think you know that"

He yanked open the front door and all but thrust her inside They were going to talk his way and she was going to understand she was going to give hiotten Molly The wo her down

Swearing under his breath, he stood back and watched the to to say to Molly and hopefully Bastien? Sasha was capable of killing thestrictly honest with hiht circu in him was always out for blood, and if Sonia was threatened in any way, he kneould kill to protect her

"I'ht I'd been kidnapped and he wanted to save me He wasn't the one who'd planted the bo worked to keep me alive when his father wanted me dead"

"Oh, no," Molly said "Bastien is pissed He's after whoever kidnapped hiry If he finds out Sasha did it, he'll try to arrest him"

Sonia frowned "That wouldn't be good" She glanced over her shoulder at Joshua

He waited, wondering what she would say Sasha had taken a cop prisoner He'd sent that cop's girlfriend on an errand Bastien would have been alone, wondering what they were doing to his woman If that had been Joshua, and he found out who had done it, he would have killed theot Sonia back Even then, he would have exacted vengeance

"You really didn't knoho took him," Sonia pointed out "They were Russian, but they could have been hired by Blake's family You have no real idea who they were or what they wanted The last thing you want is for the Russian mob to come after you and Bastien, Molly Believe me, they never stop If they want Bastien dead because he arrests one of their own, sooner or later it will happen"

Molly gasped and put a hand to her throat "I didn't think about that"

"What did you tell him?"

"He was completely in the dark He didn't knohat they wanted and I just said they wanted you, Sonia He's going to come here and demand to knohat happened I should call hi for you, along with the entire police, sheriff and highway force"

"I'm sorry, your phone was thrown out onto the road," Sonia admitted "And mine is smashed to smithereens"

Joshua took out his and handed it to Molly "Call hi over his shoulder for the rest of his life, you need to come up with a story"

He didn't like that they were protecting Sasha, but the man could be an ally nohen his father was sure to attack, and also after when he ran the Bogoan to come up with plausible stories for Bastien; after all, it hat he did best

SONIA gasped with every sently rubbed the heat into her decorated cheeks, all the while stru her clit with his other hand He'd been at this for soht shatter, so full and hard it was brutal waiting Angry sex would have been a great release, but he couldn't sustain anger at her He gave her another s the flush spread, the way she bit her lower lip, hearing her s cry of pure need

"Joshua" His name came out in a breathless keen "Please"

"Please what?"

"I need you in me" Each as punctuated with her breath

He fucking loved that He loved holding her right on the edge, denying her release, taking her up over and over She was so beautiful like this Bent over the bed, hands fisting in the sheets, her legs spread out, his thighs between them while he played with her body While he worshiped every inch of her

She totally trusted him or she would never have allowed his kind of play Why hadn't her brain reave her another s suicide, her trading her life for his or Bastien's nearly broke him

It had taken hours for the cops to leave He knew Bastien was still suspicious, but he'd dropped his interrogation, allowing the others to do the job because he was part of the investigation During those hours, with the police invading his home, he'd watched Sonia protect her ex-husband She'd been brilliant at it She'd been careful never to word her story the same ice and she'd cautioned Molly to be careful of that as well Molly, thankfully, hadn't known much Sonia had handled the cops like a pro She'd be an asset to him She'd been cool under the bombardment of questions, knohen to have a small breakdown and remained adamant that she never saw those who'd taken her

She'd been beautiful sitting there, looking vulnerable He'd seenat her breasts, the way they jutted out under that tight tee He'd been able to make out both nipples When she'dattention to her lush curves He'd sat with his cock a fucking rock, a steel spike with no relief He hadn't been the only man in the room with his body out of control

Once he'd thought about getting a sweater or soile, sexy-as-hell look had had everyher bullshit--with the exception of Bastien Joshua's adrew, but he detested the fact that it was Sasha she'd been defending By the tirown to unhealthy lengths He'd known it, but hadn't cared Then he'd had to wait until Bastien took Molly home

The moment the door was closed, he'd turned without a word, picked her up and tossed her over his shoulder He'd taken the stairs two at a tiht down the front He'd been wanting to do that for hours Hours He had plans She was going to suffer Not the way he had, but still

He'd spent an hour kissing Sonia after carrying her up to the bedroo every inch of her He'd needed that Needed to feel her skin under his mouth and hands He'd needed to know she was alive and with hihs and left strings of bright red strawberries and teeth marks, but he'd only nuzzled her clit and left her empty and needy to turn her over, a fast, abrupt move that had left her breathless

He'd taken the opportunity to yank her down to the edge of the bed, kick her feet apart and wedge his body between her thighs She'd thought she was going to get him, take his cock, have him bury it deep in her slick, hot sheath She'd been very, very wrong He'd caught the nape of her neck and held her down

"Keep your ar you're going to get" It had been her only warning The first sh to have her yelp When he'd seen she was going to stay where he wanted, he'd plunged two fingers into her Her keening cry was music to hih She liked the way the heat spread across all her nerve endings and sent fire straight to her core He'd wanted to hear her say it He needed it

He s in the heat between each whack and struers to caress that sweet little spot that drove her insane "You really love this, don't you?" he asked

"Yes," she whispered "It isn't a punish"

He knew that He was careful to control howevery nerve ending to life Her breath cahs, an invitation to his parcheda series of strawberries and bite ed his need for her addictive taste

He knew her Every shudder of her body The way her muscles rippled,

the way her breath hitched right before she toppled Each ti away his hands, his mouth

"Joshua" His na, drawn-out wail

She tried to lift her head and he pushed her back to the bed, holding her still "This is your punish those bastards take you And, baby, I can keep this shit up all night I' myself Are you?"

"No I said I was sorry" Her voice caer
