raking, urging, and pleading. She could feel herself stretch around him, and then cling hungrily to his throbbing, hot shaft. “I want all of you.”
A teasing light danced in her eyes, and the corner of his lips tilted in a smile. But in seconds, it was replaced with overpowering passion.
He made love to her long and hard, thrusting deeply and powerfully enough to keep her crying out his name, while her fingernails ran deep grooves into his back, desperately clinging to him. Her legs were wrapped tightly around him, locking him to her as their need grew fiercer, wilder. He pushed into her, moving his hips in a rhythm that was unstoppable. Struggling to hold back as long as he could, he clawed his way from the point of no return just long enough to make sure she was ready and then allowed himself to get lost in the sweet taste of ecstasy. When he came it was hard and violent. Raw passion let loose upon them with a vengeance, ripping a roar from Jonas’s throat as his now piston-like thrusts pushed him past the brink, filling the room with vibrating pleasure.
Ava felt a shriek pass her lips before she could stop it, a shiver of desire rippling up her spine as she scratched at the sheets, her body quickly climbing toward its climax and he claimed her mouth with his own, crushing his lips against hers in a slow, deliberate kiss.
Her body could not be controlled as she shuddered against him, finding herself lost in the intoxicating masculine scent of his desire. She made the mistake of looking deep into his eyes at the very moment they came together and in that split second she wanted him more than she wanted to breathe.
Watching him let go was almost too much and the world seemed to fall away beneath her. She couldn’t look away, and within that brief span of time a truth was revealed. She knew that, much against her will, she’d reached the point of no return.
She was falling in love with Jonas Marks.

Jonas slid into the limousine, settling into the plush seat opposite from his assistant. Carly glanced surreptitiously at her watch, and confirmed that they were well on schedule. She looked up at him, her eyes searching his face.
“Rough night?” she murmured, a smile curving her lips. He was as impeccably groomed as ever, his hair sleek. His dark suit fit with fashionable snugness, and he’d unbuttoned it, revealing the startling white shirt and dark tie. And yet, even with him looking as sharp as a pin, Carly’s skillful eye could detect that he wasn’t totally his usually collected self.
“Actually, I feel better than I have in years,” he assured her with a smile.
“That good, was it?” she asked with an airy tone.
He turned to her sharply, blinking in surprise. He saw the knowing look in her eye, and couldn’t help but laugh.

She’d awoken earlier to find that Jonas was gone. All she had left to remind her of his presence was the faint, lingering hint of his cologne, and she inhaled it deeply. If her body ached in certain places, it was in a very good way. She thought of how the night had ended, and quelled a tiny shudder at the intense memory. Making love to Jonas and starting an unexpected journey of self-discovery wasn’t what she had planned. This was supposed to be a simple week of pleasure, no strings attached. And yet as she lay in bed running her fingers over his pillow she couldn’t help but wonder just when he’d return to her.
Her thoughts were broken by the sound of the phone ringing. For a moment her heart lifted at the thought that it could be Jonas. Did he miss her? Was he already longing for her once again, so soon?
“Jeffrey?” she worded in surprise. “How did you get this number?”
“It wasn’t that difficult,” he growled. “It only took a few calls to find out which hotel Jonas Marks stays at when in London. I take it you’re there with him?”
“Yes, I am,” she replied, biting on her lip. “Jeffrey…”
“I don’t know what you’re doing,”
