Maxie thought celebrating was a fine idea. All she had to do was look at Lucas and her body softened, desire sweeping through her. From the heated look in his eyes, he wanted her too, and she was on board.
He plunged his hand into her hair and pulled her against him, his lips coming down on hers.
She moaned and wrapped her arms around his neck, the kiss one of mutual need and growing hunger. He nipped at her bottom lip, then slid his tongue inside, tangling with hers. He dominated her with his big hand in her hair, and she clung to him, her breasts pressed against his chest, desire pulsing through her core. Her heart beat out a rapid rhythm as she lost sense of time and place. Nothing existed but Lucas and the depth of need he both pulled from inside her and also exhibited with this one kiss.
With a low growl, he broke the kiss, picked her up, and carried her to his bedroom. “This caveman side of you turns me on,” she said, rubbing her cheek against his roughened one.
“Good to know.” He deposited her on the bed and stripped off his clothes. She wriggled out of her pajamas and leaned back against the mattress and pillows, waiting.
He grabbed a condom and tossed it onto the bed. Then his gaze locked on hers, sliding from her face, down her naked body, his gaze darkening with pure need.
Feeling emboldened by the look in his eyes, she bent one knee, exposing herself to his view.
He wrapped a hand around his cock, pumping from base to tip and back again. “You’re so fucking beautiful.”
Her body was already on fire, and her heart melted at his words. “Come here,” she whispered.
He slid onto the bed beside her, his erection gliding over her hip, the tip dampening her skin. He pressed a soft kiss to her collarbone, licking her flesh, working his way lower, until he reached her full breasts.
He cupped one in his hand and pulled her nipple into his mouth, suckling on the sensitive tip until her hips rose on the bed, an aching emptiness between her thighs.
He braced one hand on her lower belly, holding her down, and continued teasing the tight bud, first one nipple, then the other, until she was writhing and moaning with unrestrained need.
“You aren’t playing fair,” she said on a shaky breath.
“Just taking my time and enjoying.” He kissed the tip of one breast, then the other, then moved lower, his lips trailing a moist path directly to her sex.
“Lucas,” she groaned.
“Taking my time,” he reminded her, his mouth coming down directly on her sex, his tongue sliding over her outer lips.
“Oh God.”
He chuckled, his warm breath continuing his deliberately playful arousal. And he didn’t pause in his ministrations. He licked, teased, nipped, and soothed his way around her pussy. He speared her body with his tongue, and she arched her hips in a futile attempt to pull him deeper inside her.
She grasped his hair and held his face down, unable to stop herself as she ground herself against his mouth. And he continued to devour her without stopping, until her climax hit hard, taking her up and over the peak. Wave after wave of pleasure swept through her, and his mouth latched on to her clit as she came, the orgasm seeming to go on forever.
She finally collapsed against the bed in a spent heap. Until she heard the sound of the condom wrapper crinkling, and her body came alive once more.
She opened her eyes just as Lucas came over her, his large body dwarfing hers, his huge erection poised at her entrance.
“I dream about you, open for me just like this.”
Her cheeks flushed at his frank talk. “Lucas.”
“Yes, beautiful. It’s me.” And as he spoke, he thrust deep, his solid erection taking her, owning her as he pulsed inside her.
His gaze met hers, warm and full of emotion, as he slid out slowly, her inner walls feeling every hard ridge and solid inch of his erection, before pushing back inside her completely.
“How is it you’re so fucking tight every time? You feel so good, so perfect for me.”
Her heart quivered, and emotion lodged in her throat, his words as potent and heartfelt as the feel of his body inside hers.
Instead of picking up the pace and taking her hard, he opted for a slow, rocking motion inside her, his stare hot and serious on hers.
With every roll of his hips against hers, a delicious quaking began to overtake her body. “Oh God, Lucas,” she cried out, her fingers digging into his shoulders.
