curse was a harsh labored sound that reverberated hotly against her skin as he buried his face in the hollow space between her shoulder and neck. “If you don’t stay still,” he breathed, watching her through dark green shuttered eyes, his unrepentant hunger for her palpable. “I’m going to nut so deep inside you that you’ll be able to taste it.” Those words…God, those words and the gritty, almost savage way he uttered them had Eden melting around him. He moved and she moved along with him, meeting his every upward thrust with a matching jerk of her hips. It was a wild rhythm, he went in hard and went in deep, slamming her against the wall without an ounce of mercy. His teeth scraped her skin, his large hand grasped her jaw applying enough pressure that her mouth fell open allowing him to insert his fingers between her lips. The guttural utterance of, “Fuck yeah, kitten…” when she wantonly sucked on those fingers, swirling her tongue around each digit and imagining it was another appendage violating her mouth, he groaned, jacking his hips to smash against her G-spot. Stunning waves of orgasm soared through her, the pulsing heat blazing through Dominic pushed him to drive deeper into her. The unrestrained roar of his release was only slightly muffled by resting his head against her shoulder while he held her pinned to the wall. For a long, long moment afterwards nothing was said. There was nothing to be said that their mutual labored breaths in the silence did not convey.
     
    It was only after a time that he finally returned her to her feet and Eden knew she would’ve crumpled to the floor if it wasn’t for his quick reflexes. He swooped her into his arms without much effort, one arm beneath her knees and the other curled around her back, he carried her in the direction of their bathroom. Just as he’d executed the utter transformation of their foyer and bedroom, Dominic likewise did the same for the master bathroom, sparing little expense in the breathtakingly romantic ambiance. In lieu of roses and rose petals, he had the bathroom decorated with Eden’s favorite flower. White hydrangeas with powder blue tips were placed on nearly every surface of the room. Big, poufy bouquets of them, too many to count were laced through with pearly white lights. It was too breathtaking to properly put into words and as Eden’s eyes roamed the room, she was in absolute awe at the thought and care that went into preparing all of this for her.
     
    “I can’t believe you did all this,” she murmured in quiet wonder, tipping her head back to finally look at him when he set her down. He was a sight for sore eyes, even more so now that she hadn’t seen him in weeks. Eden raised a hand to touch his strong masculine jawline, dusted over with just the right amount of stubble to add to his unequivocal sex appeal. Tracing up the blade of one striking cheekbone, Eden read him like braille, her hand committing him to memory as her fingers slid up to thick, dark brows set above a pair of dark green eyes staring fixedly down at her. She glided back down his aquiline nose, ending finally at the generous curve of his wickedly sensual mouth. “I wasn’t expecting this…”
     
    Gently kissing her fingertips, he said, “I live to defy your expectations, pet.” A grin pulled at the corner of his mouth as irreverent humor glimmered in his green eyes. “Come,” taking her hand, he interlaced their fingers and led her to their sizeable porcelain bathtub. "We have a very long night ahead of us." Peeling away her blouse, he swept her hair aside and pressed a tender kiss at the nape of her neck. It was with the utmost care that he discarded what was left of her clothes before helping her inside the steaming bathtub.
     
    With the quiet assumption that his tie and suit jacket had been discarded earlier, Eden was all too pleased to watch him shrug out his dress shirt revealing the sculpted splendor of his body. Her eyes devoured him,
