âHell, woman, I havenât had a decent nightâs sleep since I met you!â
She stared at him, anger flashing in her eyes. âAnd thatâs my problem? Youâre blaming me for your lack of sleep? Thatâs just great.â She marched up the stairs, her shapely bottom swaying back and forth, heightening his desire. âGood night, Patrick. Sweet dreams,â she taunted as she disappeared into her room. The door slammed behind her.
Patrick closed his eyes. Cynthia had him tied up in so many knots that he wasnât going to survive another dayâanother minute, another second. He climbed the stairs two at a time and stormed to her room.
Cynthia swung open the door, and before she knew what hit her, Patrick grabbed her and pulled her to him.
âIf you have any protests, youâd better tell me now, because Iâm going to make love to you and Iâm not stopping until I get my fill.â
Cynthia reached up and ran her fingers through his hair. âNo. Youâre not stopping until I get my fill.â
