His gaze fell to her mouth as he grazed a work-roughened thumb across her bottom lip. Ive waited so long, eons before we met.
You are a poet, she whispered, her heart filled with awe.
His eyes hooded, he rolled her over, pinning her beneath his delicious length, and she surrendered to his kiss, grabbing his hair and locking him to her. Then she gave it all back and more, her mouth moving against his, telling him all she wanted him to do with her tongue. I want you so much, she breathed against his mouth, tilting her hips up.
I want more.
He lifted his weight off her.
Racy thoughts of him sliding and sinking inside her, deep and full, punctuated by the real-time yank of his belt and rasp of his zipper somewhere in the darkness beside her bed had her jumping up in an impromptu competition to dress the floor with her clothes, too. Shed wiggled out of her boots and jeans when she glimpsed him stealing around behind the sofa bed. Whatre you doing?
With a soft whooshing sound, the curtains parted, and the glow of streetlights shone across the room in pale, revealing stripes.
Oh, I see. She grinned, unable to take her eyes off his framelip-smackingly nude except for his sexy silk boxers in black. Going camping?
Lot of tent raising in recent weeks, and all because of you, he mused. He moved toward her and lifted a hand as if to caress her face, but then stopped. Maybe thats why.
Why what?
He scrubbed his jaw and sank onto the bed. Theres something important I have to tell you.
Uh, no. He didnt. She just wanted this moment. Are you married? Living with someone?
No! She sank onto the bed beside him. Gay?
I wouldnt be here if I were.
Then whatever it is can wait. Ive wanted you for three long weeks, too, and I refuse to wait any longer. She ran a hand along his bare thigh.
Youre too much, Lexie Bloom. Turning toward her, he laughed softly and pushed her gently onto her back.
Oomph Oh. My.
She bit back a moan of pleasure when he slid up and over her, straddling her like shed done him, her system on happiness overload as he leaned forward, his length pressed intimately against her abdomen.
He fondled her through the silk of her bra, caressing and rubbing, then, as if unwrapping a gift meant just for him, he lifted her breasts from their confines. So beautiful, he rasped. Dipping his head, he took one breast in his mouth, his tongue laving and circling, his lips pulling and sucking, his hands squeezing and molding. He went from one to the other, as if he couldnt get enough of either.
Take me there.
Like he had begun to before.
Like she wanted him to now.
