There was too much pent-up emotion between them. They’d been in the same room together three times and each time it hadn’t been enough. He wanted her. The way she got to him was unlike anything else he’d ever experienced, and his gut was starting to say he wouldn’t find it with anyone else.
He sank to the floor when she sucked his bottom lip between her teeth and bit him lightly. Once he was on the floor, he pushed his hands up her back, felt the way her body arched over his. He rubbed his hand up her delicate spine, finding the sensitive nerves at the back of her neck, tracing a pattern over the skin of her nape.
She pulled back and looked up at him. Her lips were swollen, her face slightly flushed pink, making her freckles more prominent. Her eyes were brilliant in the dim light and he realized he’d never seen anything more beautiful.
He wanted her so much at this moment he couldn’t think of anything but getting inside her.
“The other night was a pale imitation of this,” she said, her husky voice turning him on.
“Damned straight,” he said. He pulled her shirt up over her body and tossed it aside.
He set her back on his thighs as he stretched his legs out and held her there so he could look at her. He took in her breasts, which were slightly larger since her pregnancy, and those darker, fuller nipples. He lightly caressed them, running his finger over first one, then the other. She reached between them and pushed his T-shirt up his body.
He let go of her to rip it off and toss it carelessly to the side. She put her fingers on his pectorals and he flexed them. She sighed and traced her finger around each of his nipples before leaning forward to nip each of them in turn.
He brought his hands back to her breasts, but she took one of them and drew it slowly down the side of her body. He reached around behind her and grabbed her ass, bringing her closer. She rocked her pelvis over the ridge of his erection where it strained against the front of his jeans.
He brought one of his arms up behind her and held her with his hand on the back of her neck as he lowered his head and kissed his way down her neck to her shoulder blade. There was a large strawberry birthmark on her left shoulder and he kissed it, laving it with his tongue before he nibbled his way lower. He dropped small kisses around the full globe of her breast and then moved lower to the underside, biting lightly at the spot where her breast rested against her chest.
She moaned his name and rocked against him as she gripped his sides, trying to bring him closer to her. But he held her where she was. He wasn’t ready to let her have free rein over his body. She’d been tormenting him for days with her conversations and the little pieces of her soul that she shared with him almost as if they were an afterthought.
He had her in his arms, but she was hard to hold. So hard to keep. And he was determined that he would keep her.
He sucked at the smooth skin between her breasts and then moved on to her other breast. This one was slightly smaller than its mate. He wanted to know everything about her, to know all these details instead of just being satisfied with sex. He needed more than the physical from her this time. He wanted to lay her completely bare so that maybe he’d have the answers that he’d been seeking.
He brought one of his hands up and slowly drew his finger in circles around her areola. He felt the texture of her nipple changing as it tightened under his finger and then he rubbed his finger back and forth against it until she leaned forward, catching the lobe of his ear between her teeth and biting down hard.
He lifted his head to look into her blue eyes. He swore he could see the same desire in her eyes to get rid of all the questions and doubts that remained between them. But he knew he might just be projecting what he wanted to see. He needed something from her that he couldn’t define.
She swiped her tongue around the rim of his ear and he got even harder. Uncomfortable now, he reached between their bodies, distracted by the feel of her wet sex against the back of his fingers. He turned his hand and palmed her. He liked the feel of her springy curls as he rotated his palm against her.
She arched her back and shifted against him. He teased the opening of her body with his finger and then slowly pushed it up into her. She tightened around him. And he felt as if he were going to explode. He wanted to feel her naked flesh against him.
Though he did like her naked on his lap while he was still clothed. He pulled back and looked down at her, wanting to keep this moment in his mind forever.
He used his thumb to find her clit. He tapped it lightly and then made a small circle. She responded instantly. He felt the minute tightening of her body around his finger as he continued to rub his thumb in a circle over her center.
