Before he could react, she slid across the leather seat until her back hit the door, flashing a smug smile. "Your words, not mine!"
Carson wasn't annoyed in the slightest. His predatory gaze raked over her, dark and full of meaning. "Whatever you're into, sweetheart. I can accommodate."
A flush crept up her neck. She knew he had just spun that into something filthy, and she didn't dare take the bait. Shooting him a warning glare, she pressed herself closer to the door and fixed her eyes out the window.
Later that night, Carson stubbornly refused to leave her bedroom, using the excuse that he needed to "warm her bed."
After the lights were out, he slid his hand flat against her stomach. He frowned in the darkness. "Even you are freezing right here."
A dull cramp had been nagging at her abdomen, and the intense heat radiating from his palm felt incredibly soothing. It completely melted the tension in her body. Though she knew she should push him away, she couldn't quite bring herself to do it.
Closing her eyes, she rationalized that she was simply using him as an oversized heating pad.
But she had barely gotten comfortable when his hand began to wander.

Marina was utterly speechless.
The human heating pad quickly upgraded himself to a personal masseur. Initially, her heart raced, flush with embarrassment under his expert touch. But gradually, the rhythmic, soothing pressure lulled her into a state of total relaxation, sweeping her mind completely blank.
With her body blissfully warm, a heavy wave of drowsiness washed over her. Hovering on the edge of sleep, she heard a low, husky whisper grazing her ear. "Perfect size. Truly."
In an instant, she knew exactly which part of her anatomy he was evaluating. Eyes still squeezed shut, she blindly snapped her teeth at him.
The man let out a sharp hiss.
Marina hadn't expected to actually connect with such pinpoint accuracy without even looking.
Her entire face went up in flames. Frantic, she tried to pull back, but his strong hand immediately clamped down on the back of her head, locking her in place...
