and fumbled with her panties, which frustrated her, so she helped him remove them. And then she madly unzipped his slacks and found his cock.
Ah. It was hard and hot, throbbing through the silk of his shorts. “Mmm.”
“Yes.” And then, when she reached beneath the band and fisted him, he made a noise, something like a growl.
Nat knew men and their desire. She could see in his eyes, in the flare of his nostrils, in the thrum of his pulse on his forehead, he was nearly lost in it. But then, so was she. With one last scrap of sanity, she murmured in his ear, “A condom.”
He blinked. Pulled back and stared at her through the fog. “Condom?” Another moment, and then, “Fuck.” He lurched up and fumbled in the nightstand drawer, quickly finding one and coming back to the bed. He chuckled with a boyish charm that almost made her regret what she was about to do. Almost.
Strengthening her resolve—which wasn’t hard because she was awash in her own arousal—she smiled seductively and said, “Well? Aren’t you going to put it on?”
It was nearly comical, the speed with which he fit that condom on his magnificent cock. And it was nearly a shame to watch it become clothed. God, it was beautiful. Angry and hard and thickly veined. It was a shame there was not time enough for her to taste him.
But there was time enough for nothing…nothing but his body on hers. In hers.
And heavens above, it was blissful as he positioned himself over her, thrust her legs apart with his knees like a beast in heat and drove home.
He filled her with a searing heat, a savage lunge, a magnificent gratification. She was unable to hold back her moan. It was a good thing there was no need to. For he was right there with her. They were one in this madness and for the moment, it was magnificent.
As the Russian grandmothers said, there was always tomorrow for regrets.
But then all thoughts of Russian grandmothers fled, for Cooper began to move, to slide in and out of her with a frenzy that threatened to utterly destroy her.
* * *
Good God, she was magnificent.
Had he thought her innocent? Certainly not in this.
She seemed to read his body, know what he wanted, needed, even before he knew. She closed on him with just the right amount of pressure, kissed his neck just there, then nipped him just when he was wanting something a little wilder.
And her body…it was a perfect fit.
He knew he should have taken more time to seduce her, but he’d been so needy after that scalding kiss and hell, she didn’t seem inclined to wait. She certainly didn’t seem to want tenderness.
So he gave her what she wanted. Everything.
Hard, hot fucking.
Thrust after thrust.
It didn’t take long for them both to reach the crest. He could see it in her eyes, in the tremble and tension in her body, the short huffs of her breath, the score of her nails on his back beneath his jacket.
And yes, they hadn’t even bothered to undress.
He smiled to himself as he felt the pressure rise in his balls. They would undress next time. Next time there would be more time. Next time he would take her slowly, taste her, make her beg…
But for now, it was crazed wanting, an impossible hunger, a sweet frantic need. As she writhed beneath him, she scored his nape with her nails again and a sharp shard of delight scored him. Ah, how he loved that.
Tension coiled in his gut. He shifted position and increased his pace, giving in to the devils inside urging him to take her savagely, to dominate her utterly, to make her scream with pleasure.
And she did.
She came.
Closing on him with a feral grip, making his eyes cross with the utter bliss of it, she came.
She threatened to take him with her. Ah, but he couldn’t bear for this to end, and he held back, fucking her harder and deeper, suckling on her neck, nipping at her still-covered breasts, stroking her hard little clit as he moved over her until he brought her to the edge again. And this time…this time they came together in a crashing maelstrom of an orgasm, one that nearly blinded him and left him panting with the force and fury of it.
She was glorious.
It was glorious.
Pity it was followed by a prick at his neck. A prick at his neck and a sudden spinning that sent
