“Feet are erogenous zones.” The way he kneaded with such skill and care left her hot and needy. Who knew a foot massage could get her so turned on? Apparently, he did. He took off the other shoe and paid the same attention to her other foot, heightening her attraction for him to a painful degree. He stood, held out his hand, and helped her to feet.
Craning her neck, she gazed up into his dark eyes. “I think you have the height advantage.”
“Step onto my shoes.” Nico took her hand in one of his and rested the other at the small of her back. They moved to the music like they’d been dancing together for years. He pulled her close, and she became languid in his arms.
“Where did you learn how to dance?”
“I took lessons once upon a time.” A shadow passed over his face. She wanted to ask what had put it there but decided against it for now. “I’ve been waiting all night to hold you in my arms.” The rhythm of their breaths mingled together.
She got the sensation of falling even though he held her tight. “This night has been magical.”
“For me, too.” Nico lifted her chin up with his thumb and gazed at her lips. Hunger burned in his eyes. “I can think of a few ways it can get a whole lot better. I’ve been dying to kiss you all night.” He bent his head and his lips brushed against hers, sweet and tentative at first. Butwhen he sucked on her lower lip, she moaned and opened for him. His tongue swept into her mouth in deep, velvet strokes, scorching her clean. He tasted like wine and chocolate, sweet and decadent.
His fingers moved to her back and brushed across her skin in the most sensual way. She dug her fingers into the lush strands of his hair as the kiss raged on. Tilting his head to the side, he deepened the kiss, making her toes curl. The lush sweeps of his tongue forced her to draw breath. Her breasts ached and grew tender. Her clit throbbed, along with her heart.
A low primal groan escaped from his lips, and she didn’t think she’d ever heard anything sexier in her life. The drugging taste of his mouth stirred her hunger. She could see herself becoming an addict, always looking for the next fix. She’d always dreamed of a lover kissing her like this, making her burn.
His erection pressed against her stomach, hard and incessant. Nico pulled away and fastened his lips to her neck. He trailed open-mouthed kisses along her collar bone. “I want you, Brooke, so damn much it hurts. I have from the first second I laid eyes on you. I’ve been fantasizing about you for months, but I was conflicted because I was with someone else. It also made me realize that she wasn’t the one.”
Her chest heaved.“I want you too, Nico, but this is all happening so fast.” She didn’t jump into bed on the first date, but his sultry kisses fired something wild and wanton in her blood.
“This isn’t like me.” He pressed his forehead to hers. “Getting to know you has only made me want you more.”
Her knees weakened. Desire thrummed between her legs. She’d never experienced this kind of frenzied passion before.
“All I could think about while I was making tonight’s dessert was licking the chocolate off your bare skin.”
Her nipples tightened from his words. What could she say to that?
“Come home with me, Brooke,” he rasped, pressing another sensual kiss to her lips. “I know we should wait, and that I should woo you properly. If we have sextoo soon it might start this relationship off in the wrong direction, but all I can think about is being inside you.”
Her heart banged away in her chest. “Nico…I…”
“I want to make you come, Brooke. You have no idea how much. It’s driving me insane.”
Nico’s raw, honest words made her ache and aroused her even more. A voice in her head told her to cut bait and call it a night, but another voice told her she might not ever get this chance again. She preached romance and spontaneity to her clients all the time, so why shouldn’t she experience it for herself? Placing her hand on his chest, she found his heart pounded in the same wild rhythm as hers. “How long does it take to get to your place?”
Scorching heat flared in his eyes as Nico’s hand moved to her ass and squeezed. “We can be there in fifteen minutes if I speed.”
A rush of desire flowed through every cell and nerve ending. Why should she deny herself a hot night of passion? Their need for each other melted the last of her defenses away. “What are we waiting for?”
CHAPTER6
NICO
By the time they made it to Nico’s apartment, he was crawling out of his skin. He unlocked the door, pushed it open, and then reached for Brooke in the dark. This time when his lips found hers, there was nothing sweet or gentle about the kiss. Their breath mingled, and their teeth collided. His mind hazed with desire. Heat rushed through his veins like hot lava.
He registered her kicking off her shoes, his lips never leaving hers as he lifted her off her feet. Her legs wrapped around his waist as he walked through the hall to his bedroom on shaking legs.
Though he’d been with his share of women, he’d never experienced this kind of intense passion before. He laid her down on the bed and flicked on a light. “Tell me if I’m going too fast.”
“Don’t stop,” she whispered.
Moonlight streamed into his room and caught in her hair, the blonde strands now fanned out on his pillow. Her lips were red and swollen from his kisses. He couldn’t remember ever being this hard before. From their first conversation, he’d wanted this woman.I need to calm the fuck down and make this last…make this good for her.
“What are you thinking?”
Swallowing the lump in his throat, he stared at her face. “You’re beautiful.” Her long fingers brushed over the bulge in his pants.
