and for some reason, it didn’t scare him, though he suspected that it should have.
Keeping his hands right where they were, he instructed Kora to unbutton her shirt. He watched her fingers work each button free, revealing smooth skin and a plain white cotton bra that he found sexier than any lace number could have been.
Once she’d worked the shirt off, allowing it to slide down her arms and fall to the floor, he allowed himself a moment to drink her in.
“Now the bra.”
She hesitated only briefly, and when she did, he met her eyes again, wanting to maintain that connection, to let her know that this was her show. He would make love to her the way she needed, but she was in control, whether she realized it or not.
She reached back with one hand, then the bra loosened before she slowly allowed it to drop to the floor with her shirt.
The rumble that started in his chest was involuntary. She was so fucking beautiful. All soft and smooth.
Since he was eye level with her breasts, he didn’t have to move much before he brushed one dusky pink nipple with his tongue, his eyes still locked with hers. When she let out an appreciative sigh, he pulled her closer, wrapping his lips around her nipple, sucking her into his mouth while inhaling the fresh scent of her skin.
And when her hands slid up to cup the back of his head, holding him to her, he gave her exactly what she needed, never rushing. Savoring. It was what he’d been thinking about since the second she had walked into that banquet hall.
While he continued to lavish her breasts with attention, he slid his fingers into the waistband of her leggings, pushing them down over her hips until she was wiggling out of them.
“Donovan.” Her body spasmed jerked and he held on tight as her legs buckled beneath her.
Only then did he pull her onto the bed with him, lying back and bringing her down over him. Cupping Cradling the back of her head with his hand, he pulled her down for his kiss, slipping his tongue past her lips, into her mouth. She tangled her tongue with his, searching hesitantly at first, but then she grew more confident, and Donovan knew she was right there with him.
Despite her reluctance hesitance, he knew Kora wanted this, wanted him.
“Too many clothes,” she muttered, pulling her mouth from his as she sat up, straddling his hips.
“What do we do about that?” he asked, still watching her.
When Kora gripped the hem of his shirt, lifting it, he sat up, allowing her to pull it over his head. But before she could free the button on his jeans, he pulled her back down, kissing her again as he rolled them so that her soft body was beneath him.
Though he hadn’t intended for it to work that way, the new position allowed her to unbutton his fly, then lower his zipper before sliding her hand inside and freeing his cock. He moaned into her mouth when her fingers curled around his dick, gliding up and down slowly, as though she was memorizing him with her touch.
It didn’t take long before she’d caused his blood pressure to spike, and he knew it was time to press pause, at least as far as he was concerned. He wanted to taste her—every inch—then he wanted to hear her cry out his name as he made her come with his mouth.
Somehow he managed to free himself from her grip as he worked his mouth down her jaw, her chest, once again giving attention to her breasts, which he realized she liked. But he didn’t linger for long, instead continuing down her body, pressing kisses over her belly, then over the smooth skin below her navel as he pulled her panties down.
He couldn’t wait; the desire to taste her had become a need that had to be sated. Bending down, he inhaled the musky scent of her sex before gliding his tongue through her slick folds. Her fingers instantly latched into his hair, sending shards of electricity trickling down his spine.
He looked up the lean line of her body, meeting her gaze as she watched him. He shouldered his way between her thighs, opening her to him as he worked his tongue along her slit, to the tight entrance to her body. He teased her for long minutes, thrusting his tongue inside, then working her clit as she began to pant
