Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 99

Jarred's gaze turned predatory.

He didn't flinch, allowing her soft, trembling hands to slide under his clothing.

Her fingertips, radiating a scorching heat, traced down his chest, igniting tiny fires across his skin wherever she touched.

Sienna practically hung off him, melting against his solid frame.

Burying her face into the crook of his neck, she murmured, her voice husky and seductive, "You're so cool... it feels so good..."

Jarred looked down, catching her gaze in the moonlight.

Her eyes were glistening but completely unfocused, her pupils dilated wildly.

It hit him instantly. She had been drugged.

"Sienna," he ordered lowly, grabbing her wandering hands. "Snap out of it. Do you know who I am?"

But Sienna was too far gone to hear a word.

With her hands pinned, she arched her neck, desperately chasing his lips.

"Give it to me..." she gasped, taking his earlobe into her mouth. "I need you so much..."

Jarred's breath hitched violently.

The woman in his arms was a siren, her pliant body pressing against him like a literal furnace.

He squeezed his eyes shut, inhaling sharply. The chaotic sound of footsteps echoed nearby; her pursuers were closing in.

Wasting no more time, Jarred scooped her up effortlessly into his arms.

Sienna let out a soft cry, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck. "I'm so hot..." she mumbled. "Hold me tighter..."

Jarred glanced down at her, his eyes as dark as an abyss.

He stayed silent, forcing back his own overwhelming desires as he carried her swiftly into the shadows.

Wind whipped past them. Jarred pushed himself to maximum speed, leaving the clamor of the thugs far behind.

Tucked into his chest, Sienna squirmed relentlessly the entire way.

Jarred's breathing grew ragged, his arms tightening around her until it felt like he was trying to meld her into his very bones.

Finally, he stopped in front of The Secluded Cave.

It wasn't deep, but it offered total concealment.

The second he set her down, she tangled her limbs around him again, standing on her toes to steal kisses as her hands frantically fumbled with his belt.

Jarred let her thrash against him for a moment before shackling her wrists and pressing her hard against the stone wall.

"Sienna Sloan," he growled, his voice impossibly raw. "Look closely. Tell me who I am."

Sienna blinked, her hazy eyes locking onto his face for a fleeting second before a dazzling smile broke across her lips.

"Jarred," she purred, tracing the lines of his face. "My notoriously fickle husband."

A spark of pure fire ignited in Jarred's eyes.
