This was her first day, she hadn’t even been here twenty-four hours, but I’d already deemed her as mine.

I’d claim her, show her that no one else would have her but me. It was an insane thought, a crazy feeling to have, but it was as real as the air I was drawing into my lungs. It was as solid as the heart beating in my chest.

I couldn’t let her go. I wouldn’t. That wasn’t even plausible to me.

But I was a patient man. I could wait until she was ready, until she felt what I felt, until she needed me with such a burning intensity it consumed her from the tips of her toes to the top of her head.

I’d watch her, touch myself as I thought about her, and all the while my feelings, my need and obsession for her, would grow.

When I wanted something, I did whatever it took to make it mine.

And I’d never wanted anything more than Kitty.

Kitty

I’d been lying in bed for the last twenty minutes, unable to sleep, because my mind and body were running feral.

I breathed out in annoyance with myself and shifted onto my back, staring above. The lights from the patio came through the partially opened curtains and washed across the ceiling. I didn’t know what it was about Fin, but he set me on edge. But he also started this fire in me. He had me wanting more… more than I ever thought even possible.

But I wasn’t stupid. I knew realistically we’d never be together. He was my boss and was so socially withdrawn that he probably didn’t want a relationship at all. Not friendly, and certainly not romantic.

So the fantasies playing in my head would have to do, but if they controlled me this much, how could I even concentrate to do my job, to think rationally, act normally in his presence as time passed?

I pushed the covers off me and sat up, swinging my body to the left so my legs were hanging off the edge of the mattress. The frame was so high off the ground that my feet didn’t even touch the wood floor.

I slid off the bed, the soles of my feet coming in contact with the coldness, and padded over to the window, pulling the curtain aside and looking out. This room had a small balcony that overlooked the backyard, if it even could be called the latter. The natural wilderness surrounded the home, and the only thing I could see were thick trees as far as the eye could see. Below, there was a hot tub that sat on the massive deck that came off the living room patio doors. I’d seen it briefly when I wandered around, finding the dining room.

I rose on my toes slightly to look over the banister, my vantage point not giving me much of a good view, but I could see the lid was open on the hot tub, and the water was bubbling from the jets.

I was about to turn around and head back to bed, try to get some sleep, since I had to wake up so early to start the day, but a big shadow heading toward the hot tub had me stilling. And then I saw him, Fin wearing a thick white robe, standing on the other side of the spa, looking at the water. It was late, and I was surprised to see him still up, although maybe he couldn’t sleep, the same as me.

My heart instantly started racing just at the mere sight of him, but then he went for the tie at the side of the robe, undid it, and pushed the material off his shoulders.

I’d known he was heavily muscular just by the way he filled out his clothes. I could see the definition under the material. But I wasn’t prepared to see all that flash in the… well, flesh.

And he definitely had a lot of it: tan, hard, and undeniably masculine flesh.

And his nakedness. Good God, it was like he’d been created with the sole purpose to please a woman, like whoever created him wanted Fin to make a woman scream and have her walking bowlegged the next day.

My gaze immediately went to the area between his thighs, as if there were a magnet leading me there. I actually felt my eyes widen as I stared at what he sported. He wasn’t even hard, yet his damn dick was so big that the very first thought I had in my head was that his cock couldn’t possibly fit inside any woman comfortably.

My tongue felt too big for the inside of my mouth, and my heart was beating so fast it was painful. I actually placed a hand on my chest, as if that could still the rapid beat, as if that could somehow calm it.
