"You would have been beautiful if you had gone out wearing an old-fashioned potato sack, your hair a mess, with no make-up," I informed her.
She stepped close to me and gently touched my face. I fought the urge to take her right there. She was too intoxicating.
"Michael, you are very sweet. I don't know if any men were looking my way because I wasn't focused on them. I didn't dance with anyone. Tammie, Sage, and I had a couple of glasses of white wine with our dinner and talked," she informed me.
That made me feel a little better, but her next words took me aback.
"Besides, aren't we co-parenting? I have my life, you have yours, and we meet in the middle with Robin," she reminded me.
Something wrenched inside of me, and I stepped closer to her. We were so close I could feel her body heat.
I put a couple of fingers under her chin and lifted her face so that she could look directly into my eyes.
Without a thought, I captured her lips in a hungry kiss. She moaned as my tongue begged entry into her mouth.
My fingers tangled in her hair, and I breathed in her subtle scent of lavender and vanilla. Our tongues danced together, and I could feel her hands slide up my back.
When I finally pulled away, I looked down at her. "What I feel for you isn't just about co-parenting. I feel much more."
She bit her bottom lip, understanding what I was trying to say.
I pushed her toward her bed until she fell backward onto the soft mattress. I gazed at her, drinking in her perfect form.
Her hair spread out around her, making her look like an angel. Her chest was heaving so much that her breasts threatened to spill out of her dress. My fingers ached to touch every inch of her body. I slid onto the bed beside her and delicately traced her cheekbones, lips, and brow. My lips moved across her face, and I found her mouth again.
A gentle, teasing kiss made her moan.
Straddling her, I pushed the straps of her dress down, slid my hands down to her breasts, gently squeezed them, and ran my thumb over her pink nipples.
Jade hissed at the contact and arched her back, bringing her breasts close to me.
Leaning over, I captured a nipple into my mouth, holding it lightly between my teeth as I flicked it with my tongue.
She sucked in the air as though she was dying from the intense heat that she felt. Her fingers dug deep into my back muscles.
I was aching to bury myself deep inside her, claiming her for myself. However, I wanted her to feel like the sun and moon had collided around her and exploded into a wave of sensual heat.
My tongue tasted the valley between her breasts and stomach. I circled her belly button, eliciting something between a giggle and a sigh. Suddenly, Jade pushed me off and stood up. Before I could say anything, she unzipped her dress and let it pool to the floor. My jaw dropped as I saw her and realized she wasn't wearing any underwear.
She gave me a wicked grin as she laid back on the bed.
I snapped out of my reverie and approached her again. Her eyes followed my every movement and closed in bliss once my fingers found the center of her womanhood. I pressed my finger against her.
A little moan escaped from her lips.
My thumb rubbed faster against her clit, and she moaned again, her body writhing against the sheets.
"Don't stop," she whimpered as her fingers dug into my shoulders, her hips bucking against my hand. I inserted another finger inside her as I caressed her clit, moving to my own rhythm as Jade jerked and cried out. It was the sexiest thing I had ever seen, and my already hard erection became painful. I needed to be inside her.
I suddenly removed my hand from her, and she looked up at me with hooded eyes. I flashed her a wicked smile and quickly slid into her. She gasped in pleasure as her legs fell open.
"Yes, yes," she moaned, moving her hips up to meet mine.
I felt her tighten around me, massaging me as I moved in and out of her. I pulled out slowly until only the tip of me was left inside her. The feeling was exquisite. Then, just as slowly, I moved back into her. She and I hissed at the pleasurable contact.
The room broke into a million colors as though a kaleidoscope had exploded around me. Everything in the world disappeared, and there was only this beautiful woman and me.
The cool air around us and the heat of our bodies collided and exploded, and she called out my name.
