His Lover to Protect - Katee Robert Page 0,51

dress up to her knees. “Your skin is so soft. It’s practically begging for my mouth.”

Her lips parted. “Too much longer, and my skin isn’t going to be the only thing that’s begging.”

“That so?” Luke kept moving the fabric up, until it hit the tops of her thighs. He nudged her legs apart. “Darlin’, I haven’t even gotten started.”

She made a sound fantastically close to a whimper. “That’s what I was afraid of.”

“It’s a long train ride, after all. Wouldn’t want to wear you out too soon.” He traced an abstract pattern on the inside of her thigh closest to him, moving up with agonizing slowness. “That wouldn’t be very gentlemanlike.”

“I hate to be the one to tell you this, Luke.” She hissed out a breath as his thumb feathered over the dip where thigh met hip. “But you wouldn’t know a gentleman if he hit you in the face.”

“Now, that’s just mean.” He finally gave in to the temptation to cup her. “No panties. That was mean, too. Do you know what went through my mind when you opened that jacket and gave me an eyeful of those perky nipples and that delicious vee between these thighs?”

“No.” She spread her legs wider, giving him better access, her breathing coming in short gasps.

“Lose the jacket and I’ll tell you.”

She leaned forward and struggled to get it off. The move pressed her more firmly against his hand, and he couldn’t fight back a groan when his fingers slid through her wetness. She was ready for him. If he said to hell with it and knelt between her legs, she’d spread them and take his cock deep. She wouldn’t even hesitate.

But that wasn’t part of the plan, no matter how much he wanted to be buried inside her right now.

Alexis tossed the jacket on top of their bags and leaned back against the seat, her hazel eyes on him. Her dress had slipped a bit, and it would only take the barest nudge to have it dipping further and revealing a nipple. He helped it along, sliding the strap off her shoulder so that her breast was bared, much the same way it’d been that day up on the cliff.

This time he wasn’t going to let anything stop them.

Chapter Seventeen

We’re practically in public.

The thought was on repeat as Alexis arched up to meet Luke’s mouth, his hand between her legs making her feel both powerful and needy, branding her as his and setting her free, and a thousand other impossible things. It didn’t matter if there was a locked door between them and the rest of the train. The feeling of being semipublic made her crazy in the best way possible. His tongue twining with hers only made the feeling more intense.

He kissed down her neck and over her chest to the breast he’d freed. When his mouth closed around her nipple, she nearly cried out. Only the fact that there might be people in the next car over kept her silent—and ramped up the desire pumping through her body.

He knew. Of course he knew. Luke lifted his head as he plunged a finger into her. “Better be quiet, darlin’. Someone might hear your whimpers and come to investigate.”

That accent should be illegal, especially when it was whispering such dark and dirty things to her. She bit her lip as he hitched her right leg up, baring her completely and leaving her open to whatever the hell he wanted to do her with his hand. All the while, his gaze never left her face. “You like that.”

“Don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Of course you don’t.” He spread her wetness up and over her clit, pausing to circle it once, and then again. “Like you’re not about to come just thinking about someone walking in on us. Just imagine the picture they’d see.” As he spoke, he used his thumb to press against her clit as he thrust his finger into her. “You, with your dress up around your hips, my hand between your legs.” He used his free hand to pull down the other strap of her dress, leaving her naked from the waist up. Hell, from the waist down, too. “Anyone could see you. All of you.”

“Yes.”

“Yes?” He took his hand away, and she almost sobbed out a protest. “Wrong answer, darlin’.” Before she could say anything, he shifted, sliding to his knees and pushing her legs up and out. “The only one who gets to see you like this is
