them on.
    He left his bike and drove her truck. He lived in an industrial-looking building that had recently been converted into apartment lofts. His place was large, but mainly unfurnished, save for a bed, a couch and a TV. The kitchen looked the most lived-in.
    But it was clean, with easy exits through the fire escape. The building was full-up on renters. And it was in a decent part of town.
    She wanted to ask what he did for a living. The sparseness screamed military to her, but if his work kept him on the road…
    Stop thinking , she told herself harshly. Ace helped her with that by taking her in hand and putting her body underneath his heavy one.
    The weight of this man was enough to intensify the ache between her legs. The kissing wouldn't be enough. "I need to come. Now," she told him.
    "Your wish, my command." And that was a promise he kept.
    He began by stripping her jeans and underwear off. Her T-shirt was already pushed up above her breasts and, if he'd noticed her scars, he didn't mention them. The room was semi-lit and he had to know a job in law enforcement wasn't always pretty. It's not like she planned on taking the time to explain. Besides, tonight she wasn't the only scarred one in the room.
    Because of that, giving up control wasn't easy for her.
    Correction. It was very easy during a one-night stand. But more than that, she was too vulnerable for anyone to be restraining her wrists, telling her to "Leave them there or I'll tie them down."
    She wanted to say there was no way in hell that was happening but all that came out of her mouth was a pathetically subservient moan.
    He nodded his approval.
    His hands were huge, covered her body with their rough touches. Lit her on fire. She was drunk, but not so much so that she'd forget this experience.
    She almost wished that wasn't the case. Bad boys like this were always hard to top in bed. Ace would be near impossible, especially when his mouth went between her legs and he took her with his tongue and any tension that had been inside her instantly unknotted.
    She clutched at his headboard, scrabbling for purchase as his mouth claimed her with a seemingly single-minded purpose—her pleasure.
    "Taste sweet, Angel. Knew you would." His fingers spread her as he rolled a condom on with his free hand.
    He was a big man, all around. She was wet enough that the stretch was only moderately painful, and when he stopped moving, she grabbed his ass to push him in deeper.
    He smiled. Shook his head, then used his T-shirt to tie her wrists together and then to the headboard. And Abby let him, because she wanted to feel free. She let herself go completely, because this man was a complete stranger and it made her feel even more uninhibited than usual. She had nothing to hide from him.
    Instead, she wrapped her legs around his waist, her heels resting on his ass and smiled innocently up at him. He leaned in and caught one of her nipples in his mouth, sucking and tugging and biting until she was begging him to “Please move.”
    His big hands wrapped her hips and brought her to fully seat his cock. Held her there for several seconds as she adjusted to his girth, and all she could do was watch him helplessly, knowing he was in full control of her.
    She'd never thought she'd like that. In bed, she was usually the one rolling herself on top, feeling more in control that way. Telling herself that she was just satisfying her own needs the best way she knew how.
    But this, his hold on her… And when he finally began to pump his hips, she surrendered to it. Stopped fighting his hold and just let the pure pleasure wash over her.
    That didn’t stop her from telling him to go “Harder.”
    “Tied up and she still thinks she’s giving the orders,” Ace murmured as he thrust up into her, rubbing her clit with each torturous slide of his hips.
    “Definitely.”
    He thrust against and again, a little faster. She heard herself practically purr.
    God, the man was good .
    She couldn't
