the man who was hurting over the recent death of his wife , but still found a small corner of his heart for me . Or the man who threw me away .” A vein throbbed at Delvin ’ s temple . His mind fired up with several scenarios . The need for her was overwhelming . His skin was ready to scream , his erection was on the verge of busting the zipper of his jeans . Delvin witnessed the flash of desire in her eyes and saw a way to get what his body was dying for . He dropped to his knees , slowly inched up the flimsy skirt and pressed his lips to her thigh , while cupping her buttocks within his massive hands . Tailan let out a low , breathy moan , all while trying to put some distance between them . He kept her locked in place as he parted her thighs … She took a deep breath and pushed him away . “ What kind of game are you playing , Tai ?” he said through his teeth . “ There ’ s a condition ,” she said . “ Condition ?” Delvin repeated . “ A condition for what ?” “ For being with you .” He released her , standing so their gazes met . Tailan grimaced before she spit out , “ Amir wants to watch .” Delvin ’ s erection did a complete nose dive . He peered at her , taking in the solemn expression . “ What . Did . You . Say ?” “ Amir ’ s one stipulation to my having you as a lover , is that he gets to watch us making love .” “ Oh , so I did hear it right ,” he snapped , glaring at her . “ What kind of sick , twisted —” “ Not sick . He ’ s seeking to prove a point .” Delvin knew that she still loved him , wanted him . And this relationship of hers--a polyamorous marriage--gave him the perfect avenue to make her totally his again . And then , the moment he had her back , he wasn ’ t going to share his woman with anyone . “ Suppose I don ’ t want to play his foolish game ?” “ Your loss ,” she said in a matter-of-fact tone that caused him to bristle . “ Because unlike you , I have a marriage that provides everything I need . Including the option to take a lover . You ,” she said in a voice that was husky with promise . “ You would be my first ... and you ’ ll be my only .” “ Your only ?” he shot back , giving her a sly smile . “ Count on it . And when your husband hears you screaming my name , he ’ ll know it , too .”
