Prologue

His hands were at the bottom of her back as he stood behind her, hips moving closer, until his hardness, still clothed, pressed up against her bare skin. She let out a gasp as his lips touched the smooth, sensitive skin of her neck, his smile breaking out against it.

Everything in her was coming alive—more alive than it had ever been—and she thrust her body back into him, squeezing into his taut form as he gently pushed her away from him.

There’s no hurry, he said, running his hands over her ass, softly caressing the mounds with his fingers, and she melted into them. His mouth at her neck brought shivers—first on one side, then the other—before he reached forwards, his tongue flicking at her jawline, making her hot and wet with want.

A hand travelled over her hip and brushed lightly against her stomach, and Liv wanted to reach down and grab it—place it right where she wanted it—but she couldn’t move, as if she were in some sort of trance. Her arms and legs were a dead weight, and her body was guided by him—responding only to him—like it didn’t even belong to her anymore.

She would give it to him willingly, to do what he wanted with. I’m yours…please take me…

Liv tried to turn, catch a glimpse of him, but as usual he moved his head to the other side as if avoiding her gaze on purpose.

Who are you?

A hand slid down between her legs as the other moved slowly up her stomach, making her convulse with pleasure. It rested on her nipple, rolling over it with his palm before pulling it through his fingers until she could barely stand it.

His hand between her legs moved tantalisingly towards the hot spot, taking forever, as if he were enjoying torturing her. Finally, when she could take no more, he groaned her name before unbuttoning his trousers, running his fingers over her sweet spot, the full extent of his hardness teasing her skin before he entered her.

Liv woke, crying out, the gentle waves of pleasure breaking through her. She gripped the sheets and was drenched in sweat. Just like the dreams from previous weeks, she was left unsatisfied that she didn’t see his face, didn’t feel him fully or for long enough. A beautiful torture that
