Ty swallowed the hungry sounds even as he kept plundering her mouth. He couldn’t get enough of that luscious mouth. He could feel his control slipping but was too far gone to even care. In that moment, there was only Tanesha, her sexy mouth and how it was blowing his mind…nothing else mattered. At a point, they had to come up for a much-needed air, both panting for breath.
But when Ty saw the sheer longing in Tanesha’s eyes, he groaned and swooped right back down, sliding his mouth more slowly over Tanesha’s this time and sucking erotically on her tongue till a cry of desperate need tore out of her. Ty released those sweet, swollen lips and hugged Tanesha tightly to him, feeling an intense shudder pass through him when Tanesha whimpered and wrapped her arms around his neck.
“What are you doing to me?” Ty muttered, stepping back a little to look down into Tanesha’s passion-filled eyes. “Seriously. You’ve gotta stop looking at me like that.” Ty growled as he allowed his hands to fall to Tanesha’s hips, holding her against him. He had to restrain himself from snatching her into his arms, darting into bed and fucking the living daylights out of her. And much as he knew he had to put a distance between them, he didn’t want a repeat of what happened the last time when he’d let her go abruptly. “Are you okay?” He asked nuzzling his face against Tanesha’s hair. At her nod, he released her almost reluctantly, and then with an explosive curse, went to pull out a t-shirt from his backpack and left the room.
Ty leaned against the closed door and pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. Damn, he’d never gotten so hard just from a woman’s glance. What the fuck was the girl doing to him. Yes, he’d fucked a lot of girl but never had he been under a woman’s spell as he felt he was under Tanesha’s. He wanted her with a fierceness he could never remember feeling for any woman before this one. She could disarm him with a simple glance, for fuck’s sake.
The girl made him want to forget what was important and just lose himself in her. Fuck! Being in the same room with her and not touching that sexy alluring body, or not tasting her sweet lips all the time as he would have wished, was driving him insane. He wanted to ride her till she begged for mercy… to shove his cock so far inside her till she screamed her release. Shit!
Lieutenant Tyler Tyron Wesley didn’t know the exact day his mission was going to end, but he knew one thing for a fact… Tanesha Ashton had managed to slide right past his defenses. And he hadn’t even known it. Ty stood there, shirtless, his massive chest rising and falling with harsh, tightly controlled breaths. Lust whirled in his lower belly, demanding relief… demanding her…
“Everything okay, boss?” He heard Donk ask and raised his head.
“Sure.” Ty rasped. “Get the camera ready. We need to take the first batch of pictures today.” Maybe the pictures would help alleviate the fears of Tanesha’s family, he thought grimly. “Call me when you’re done setting up.” With that, Ty pulled on his t-shirt and headed outside into the cool breeze. He needed to clear his head.
Back in the room, a still dazed Tanesha sat on the couch, her fingers against her swollen lips. Her mind was reeling. All she could do was feel…with her body. And God, she wanted Skull. The man-made her want so badly that she couldn’t even think coherently. What was it about Skull that not only made her go all mushy inside, but also made her totally forget about the danger she was in, Tanesha asked herself.
Of all the men she could desire, why him? Despite her head telling her that her needs were wrong, her body ached. As if in a trance, Tanesha stood and picked up the towel from where Skull had dropped it. Then she went to hang it in the bathroom and came back to sit quietly on the couch. And that was where Mickey found her when he came to take her to the living room for the photoshoot.

“Give us a smile, bitch.” Thug number one, whose name Tanesha still didn’t know, bellowed.
“If you want a smile, don’t call her a bitch.” Ty growled, giving the signal for Jess to start snapping away.
Tanesha sat quietly through the photoshoot and allowed her mind to wander. The idiots were obviously now ready to send the ransom note, she thought annoyed and yet surprised. Why it had taken so long, she couldn’t tell. But hopefully, her parents would try and raise whatever amount the guys wanted so she could go back home before she succumbed to the demands of her treacherous body. She was still shaken by what had transpired between her and Skull that morning. What worried her more was that she knew emphatically that what she felt for Skull was more than mere lust.
“F. M. L.” She muttered and gave a short bitter laugh.
“What’s funny?” Mickey asked, coming to stand beside Tanesha.
“Nothing. Are we done here?” Tanesha asked.
“Yep. Shall we?”
Tanesha stood up to follow Mickey back to the room, noticing that Skull was nowhere to be found though he’d been around when the shoot started. What a boring life, she thought as she entered Skull’s room with Mickey. Before she could go towards the couch, Mickey steered her towards the table, where her lunch and a bottle of fruit juice was waiting. Her eyes widened in surprise.
“Nice touch.” She said mockingly as she sat down. When she uncovered the plate and found mashed potatoes and juicy-looking steak with sauce and steamed vegetables on the side, she whistled. “What did I do?” Tanesha gasped.
“You tell me.” Mickey chuckled, sitting down in the second chair. “What have you been doing? Giving the big guy some huh?”
“No.” Tanesha laughed. “Get your mind out of the gutter. Why, did he organize this?”
“Yep.” Mickey raised an eyebrow. “Said something about giving you a treat for ‘good behaviour’.” Mickey said with a smirk, giving the phrase quotations with his fingers.
“And in his books, you’ve obviously behaved well so I ask again…are you blowing him or what?”
Tanesha choked on her food and started coughing.
