up, moving from one side to the other and back again, until she was about to come from that alone.
She pressed against him, trying to find relief for the pressure building between her legs.
He glanced up at her as her nipples tingled from the attention he’d given them. “Shall we continue toward your goal?”
Amanda looked at his handsome face and took only a second to think about it before she nodded. She was still embarrassed that he’d seen her list, but what did that matter when Landon Abbott seemed determined to make one of her most pressing goals come true?
“How do you want it?” He kissed a path to her belly button and dipped his tongue into the hollow indent.
She’d had no idea until then that her belly button could be an erogenous zone. “I, uh…”
“Do you need me to review the choices for you again?”
“No.” She didn’t need to hear that suggestive list again.
“So what’s your choice?”
“This must be what it feels like to make a deal with the devil.”
His big smile indicated that he took that as a compliment. He would.
“How would you like your devil to serve you, my sweet?”
“Surprise me.”
“You really are walking on the wild side, I see. All righty, then. Close your eyes and focus only on what you feel. Nothing else but that.” He hooked his fingers in the waistband of her pajama pants and quickly removed them and her panties. “And keep your hands up there and out of my way.”
A full-body blast of heat overtook her as he used his broad shoulders to part her legs. As she tried to imagine what she must look like, naked and spread open before him… No, don’t think about that, just… Oh God… Without giving her time to ease into whatever was about to happen here, he sent his tongue on a fact-finding mission that had her gasping and writhing and on the verge of explosive release faster than she’d ever gotten there before.
The man was clearly gifted if he could make that happen in a matter of seconds.
However, with his face buried between her legs, the last thing she wanted to think about was how he’d learned to…
Holy hell.
His fingers slid into her, curving up to find a spot deep inside that rendered her speechless.
“Ung.”
“What’s that?”
“I, uh…”
He sucked on her clit as he bent his fingers, and Amanda achieved one of her life goals with a screaming, full-body orgasm that made every other one she’d ever had seem like a warmup for him, so she’d be ready when Landon Abbott came along to show her what she’d been missing.
“Check that box.” He sounded awfully pleased with himself, and really, why shouldn’t he be if he was capable of that? “How about another just to prove that one wasn’t a fluke?”
Before she could catch up to him, he’d gone back for more.
Holy shit. Be careful what you wish for, she thought as she held on for dear life to his headboard as he took her on an even wilder ride.
“How we doing?” he asked as she panted her way through the aftermath of her second man-made orgasm.
“Uh, well…”
Landon laughed at her babbling incoherence. “I’ll take that as a thumbs-up?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Hold that thought.” While she tried to catch her breath, he went into the bathroom. She heard water running, and when he returned, he was completely naked and holding a foil packet. “More?” he asked, cocking an eyebrow as he stood next to the bed, fully confident and fully erect.
Amanda nodded. Maybe it was too soon and too much and too everything, but whatever. In her post-near-death-experience life, she was determined to live to the fullest, and having sex with Landon Abbott would definitely be worth any risk that might be involved.
“How’s the ankle?”
“It’s okay.”
“And the rest of you?”
“Feeling good and hopefully about to be even better.”
“You know it,” he said with a wolfish grin as he rolled on the condom and rejoined her on the bed. “Is this too much too soon?”
She loved that he was having the same thought. “Absolutely.”
Her emphatic reply seemed to take him aback. “We don’t have to…”
“I know.” She reached for him, and he came to her, wrapping his sexy body around her. “Before the fire, I would’ve said not yet. Now I know better. I know how fast things can change, and I want to experience everything right now.”
“Everything?” he asked, raising a rakish brow.
“Everything.”
“That’s a rather broad mandate.”
The dirty way he said that made her giggle. “I’ve been
