Rachel felt like a total looser. She felt numb. She didn't want to think about anything as she packed her bags. She'd failed. Again and again.

She immediately hailed a cab and it took her to the airport. She'd already booked a quick flight back home. She didn't want to go to Luke's house when she returned. Instead she wanted to seek comfort in Bennett.

She was the one responsible for causing the fire at the hotel. Since she arrived, she'd been keeping a tail on Luke and Allie and eavesdropping on their conversations. Luckily, she could do that. She knew Allie was going to confess to Luke after they'd had sex and she couldn't let that happen, that was why she started the fire because that was the only option that came to her mind. After the fire outbreak, she was happy that she'd caused a disruption to Allie's plans. She thought it was going to be hard for Allie after the fire outbreak. She didn't know that Allie would blurt out her feelings to Luke like that.

And Luke loved her too. S

    ‘I can make you feel good, Rachel, better than before,’ he said. ‘Let me take you to bed, where I’ll make you forget all the chaos of the last few days and remind you of what it is to feel sexy. Feminine, powerful. Wanted beyond all meaning.’He saw the capitulation in her eyes, the need to be in his arms. He lifted one eyebrow. ‘Yes?’ he prompted.‘Yes.’Thank God and all his angels and arch angels.Picking up her hands, Bennett tugged her to him so that her lips were an inch from his. ‘Too much talking,’ he murmured. ‘Definitely not enough kissing.’‘I agree,’ she replied, her sweet breath fluttering against his lips.‘Slide your thigh over mine,’ he told her.‘Why?’ she asked but did as he requested.‘So that you’ll be more comfortable when I do this...’ he said before slanting his mouth over hers, tracing the seam of her lips with his tongue.She tasted like the woman he’d met before, as an awesome memory should. But this kiss was tinged with something different, it was deeper and

    Bennett painted kisses across her shoulders and she inhaled his fresh sun, sea, and hot-man scent, the heat from his body engulfing her. Her nipples puckered against the triangles of her top and she swallowed, noticing there was no moisture left in her mouth. He was plastered against her, and being in his bedroom—a beautifully decorated space dominated by this huge bed—felt incredibly intimate. She felt as if she belonged there, that being in his arms was where she needed to be.No, she was doing it again, reading more into a situation than there was. This was just sex and if she was going to become mushy, then she should roll away and put some distance between them until she regained a modicum of control.His hand settled over her breast and she knew she was fooling herself, she had no intention of applying the brakes to stop this runaway train. Her tongue twisted around his, and she arched her back to press her nipple into his palm. She was putty in his hands...Rachel murmured her

    She hadn’t known any kiss could feel like this. like a drug. like a craving. she swept her hands up and down his sides and around to his back, tracing the indent of his spine and urging him to crush her because his weight felt so good against her.“this is all I think about,” he growled against her cheek, thumbs circling and circling her distended nipples, sending runnels of heat and need deep into her loins.His knee barely suggested inserting itself between hers and she flowered open, accepting his hard thigh against her mound with a shaken gasp of gratitude.While the edge of his teeth stole down her neck and he sucked on her earlobe and swept his tickling caress across her breasts, all her focus drilled down to the bright, hot place where his hard thigh pinned itself to her pulsing flesh.She was moving against him, she realized. seeking those sharp, piercing bolts of pleasure. she was as shameless as she was mindless. her hands were clenched in his hair and she was arching and sh

Her blood was hot, her erogenous zones sensitized and singing. His body seemed to envelop hers in sexual need.

    He lifted her, dress riding up at the same time, and sat her on the cold marble of the table by the door.Before she could decide what she thought of that, he pushed her legs apart and stepped between them so they were eye to eye, mouth to mouth...Kissing again. Deeply. Unreservedly.The fine lace of her new Parisian panties snapped.She gasped and closed her teeth on his bottom lip, waiting... There. He touched her, stroking lightly, just a tantalizing caress that made her flesh pulse for more. After a long, breathless moment he easily deepened his caress into her slippery folds.Encouraging him with moans of pleasure, she inched forward and layered on openmouthed kisses, letting him know how good he was making her feel as he caressed her. Velvety waves of pleasure rolled outward from his touch, making her limbs weak and tingly, her core tight and eager.With clumsy fingers, she undid his shirt buttons, wanting to taste his skin.He took his hands off her long enough to yank his shi
