take what she needed from the dangerous billionaire without any concern for how he felt or what he wanted.
    So maybe I’m not so different from Jonas Marks after all , she thought.

    Ava was sleeping soundly when he returned. He’d left the room several hours ago, after he’d showered and changed. He said something vague about having to see to some matters with Carly before the meeting tomorrow, and that he’d work in his assistant’s room so that Ava could rest without disturbance.
    Once she was sure he was gone, she’d slowly undressed, then indulged in a leisurely soak in the majestic marble tub in the bathroom. She’d been almost reluctant to finally rise from its scented, warming depths. She’d spent almost an hour in the bath, and still he hadn’t returned. Finally, she unpacked, retrieving her lace and satin lingerie, which she’d carefully chosen to wear as it highlighted her curves while hiding the imperfections. As she got dressed, she caught a glimpse of her naked frame in the mirror and paused.
    Standing in front of the full-length, gilt-framed glass, she viewed her reflection in a way she had never before. She had always been her own worst critic, noticing only the imperfections and blemishes, wishing she could be someone else, hating all that she saw. But today, as she stood in front of the long mirror, she saw someone almost unrecognizable to her. She had always been full-figured and had never known what it meant to be skinny or even slender, but today she didn’t look at the flare of her hips, her rounded belly or the sway of her breasts with disdain. Instead, she thought about how much Jonas wanted her, how he desired her so desperately, and how when he looked at her, he saw more than just a plus-size woman. She could see that in the way he watched her move, the hunger burning in his eyes.
    She turned to one side, and then the other one last time before backing away from the mirror and dressing slowly, with intent. She considered how his lips might feel on her neck, his hot breath washing over her skin. Or how it would feel to be in his arms once again, wrapped tight in his strong embrace, allowing him to do all that he pleased.
    A woman would have to have dry, bloodless veins in her body if she claimed not to find him deeply attractive. Every time he was near, it was hard not to look at him, or to feel turned on by his effortless magnetism. She’d felt it from the second she’d set eyes on him, smiling and offering to rescue her from Kirk’s bumbling hands and heavy feet. And while she should possibly feel guilty or ashamed for what she was about to let him do to her, she could only feel a rush of excitement at the thought. Oh, yes, she would give herself almost completely to him. He could have anything he desired from her but one thing that she would fight to protect. Her heart.

    She was drawn slowly from a deep sleep by soft lips trailing skillfully down her nape.
    She was lying on her belly, her face muffled in the pillow. The sensation of warm, silken lips leaving a molten path across her exposed back slowly began to register and her eyes snapped open.
    The room was as dimly lit as she’d left it when she’d settled in soon after she’d bathed, and now there seemed to be a definite glow surrounding her, warming her, inch by inch. Or maybe that was just the feeling of Jonas’s mouth on her skin, trailing lingering kisses over her exposed back.
    “Ava.”
    It was so like an erotic pronouncement, the one word filled with an undeniably intense declaration of intent that made her shiver. Ava lay on her belly, her face turned to the side and muffled within the pillow she now clutched. Jonas was now above her, his hands propped on both sides of her as he continued his tender, heated foray of her shivery skin with just his lips.
    “You smell delicious,” he growled wolfishly, drawing in a ragged breath, a seductive smile playing on his lips. “I want to taste every inch of
