The choice was obvious. “Yes, please.”
His glittering gaze on her, he pushed up her shirt slowly, baring her abdomen, bending for a kiss, then a long swipe of his tongue. Her skin quivered.
“So sweet,” he whispered against her stomach, sliding the shirt still higher, trailing kisses as he worked his way up.
Her need was so intense she panted, specially when he tugged her shirt over her breasts, tracing the edge of her bra with his tongue.
She didn’t wear fancy stuff anymore. But Daniel had set her sexuality free again—and now she wished she could have worn silk and lace and satin for him.
Fortunately, he didn’t seem to care in the least that she wore plain cotton as he toyed with the front clasp of her bra. “So pretty.” He snapped it open, pushed the shirt and bra off, then sighed his pleasure, sending a wash of tantalizing warm breath over her. “You’re absolutely gorgeous. Even better than my fantasies.”
She arched into his mouth on her breasts, pushing her head back into a pillow as a long, low moan slipped from her lips. She was all liquid warmth, wanting him, needing him inside her as he turned her inside out. Made her wild.
She writhed beneath him as he laved the taut tip of one breast and took the other between his fingertips, circling, teasing, pinching lightly. She gasped for breath, dragging in air.
Yesyesyes fell from her lips as easily as her moans.
When he bit lightly on her sensitive flesh, she cried out, drawing up her legs to wrap them around his waist, holding him as close as they could get without stripping their clothes off.
With his mouth still on her breast, he shifted, pressing tight between her legs.
And she was lost.

As Tasha trembled beneath him, gasping, arching, crying out, Daniel moved his hips as though he were inside her, increasing the friction of their jeans between them. She shuddered with pleasure in his arms, and he savored her gorgeous cries and moans as the waves of bliss coursed through her. There were no words for how perfect she was—the beauty of her body, the muscles that rippled beneath her sleek skin.
He’d always been in control in bed—but with Tasha, his fingers fumbled at the fastening of her jeans, jerking the zipper. He’d never made a woman come with only his mouth on her breast and his clothed body between her legs. Just as he’d known from the start, something primal blazed between them.
He’d never felt this wild need for anyone. Never thought he would find a woman who could turn his world inside out.
Not until Tasha fell into his arms. Into his life.
And he was undone.
He wanted to make this so damn good for her, so much more than sex, more than pleasure. He wanted the intimacy they’d shared at the lake when they revealed their secrets to each other. He wanted to explore all her hidden places and make her forget everything but that they belonged together.
She laid her hands on him. “I need to see you. All of you.”
Going back on his haunches, he pulled her up until they faced each other, her knees between his legs. She pushed his shirt up and off.
“You are so magnificent,” she said, then lowered her head to his chest and licked him.
His hands shook with the effort it took not to grab her, take her, claim her as his. He’d never known pleasure could be so damn intense, quaking through his limbs, his muscles bunched hard against the need to have her right this freaking second.
Splaying her fingers over his abdomen, she teased along his waistband, flattened her hands against his rib cage. When she palmed his e
rection, he lost all control, hauling her to him.
“Do you have any idea how good you feel?” he asked, his voice rough.
She rubbed her cheek against his chest. “If it’s anything like how you feel against me…”
He had to kiss her again, had to taste the salt of their skin, his and hers together, before he came down beside her, laying her back so that he could gaze into her eyes. “Let me love you.”
Her eyes closed at the word love, but she nodded. Mouthed the word yes.
This time he didn’t allow his hands to shake as he parted her jeans and pulled them, plus her panties, past her hips and down her legs.
