Just One Night Together (Flatiron Five Fitness #3) - Deborah Cooke Page 0,68

her knees before him. She reached around him and grabbed his buttocks, which really might have been made of steel, then began to tease him with her lips and her tongue.

Damon froze. She felt him straighten and guessed that he tipped back his head. His fingers danced over her shoulders, his touch so tentative that she knew she had surprised him, and then he moaned as if the sound was being torn from deep inside him. She caressed his balls and she knew he was pleased because he got harder and thicker with every stroke. She tasted the salt just before he whispered her name and thought she might be finishing him off.

Then he groaned and caught her shoulders in his hands, lifting her away from him. “Haley,” he murmured. “You don’t have to do that.”

“But you like it.”

“But this is supposed to be about what you like. I’m the one saying thanks, remember?” He stretched her out on her back as he was talking, running his hands over her in an endless caress. He looked at her and smiled, the weight of his touch feeling good on her skin. When she was on her back, he ran his fingertip down the inside of her thigh, tickling her with his touch. “Let me please you, Haley,” he said, the thread of uncertainty in his tone nearly finishing her.

He couldn’t imagine that she would decline, could he?

She parted her thighs and smiled as he lowered his weight between them. He kissed her again on his way down, then licked her nipples as if they were candy. His hands bracketed her waist and he kissed her navel, then flicked a wicked glance at her before he closed his mouth over her.

His tongue went right to the point, the way he flicked it making Haley moan out loud. “Bite the pillow if you need to,” he murmured against her thigh. “But no one will hear you here.”

Haley decided to just let go when it was time, to not worry about making noise. It wasn’t like her but she felt a kind of abandon with Damon, a conviction that she was erasing her own boundaries.

Or maybe he was.

She certainly didn’t regret it.

His mouth closed over her again, warm and sweet, his tongue and teeth quickly driving her wild. He moved his hands beneath her and locked his hands around her waist again. Her legs were braced open against his shoulders. His weight and position ensured that she couldn’t move, though she wasn’t trapped or crushed. Haley loved the sense of being confined but sheltered. Protected. He was so much stronger than her but she knew that he would roll away if she made any indication that she wanted him to. She could stop him with a fingertip.

But stopping him was the last thing she wanted to do. He tormented her until she was twisting in his grip, straining for release, her heart hammering and her breath coming in little pants. Her fingers dug into his shoulders and she felt her toes pointing as she neared the summit...

Then he lifted his head. “Do you need something to bite?” he asked and Haley nearly screamed in frustration.

“I was so close!”

“I know.” He was laughing at her and she wanted to kiss him. “But it’ll be better if you have to work for it.” He slid his hands up her torso, caressing her breasts for a moment, then slid them back down to her waist. “Unless you want to stop.”

“You’re bad.”

He shook his head. “I don’t think so.”

“Then you’re very good.”

He laughed and she loved the sound of it. “Which do you prefer?”

“I’d like you to do that again, but not stop.”

“And I’d like you to scream the roof down when it’s time.”

Haley shook a finger at him. “Only if you’re inside me. I want to come with you on top of me, inside me, filling me and claiming me.”

He stared at her unblinking, his eyes dark and intense. She was sure his nostrils flared, but then he reached down to his jeans without otherwise moving. He found the condom and put the package on the bed beside her. Then he met her gaze again, holding it as he sank lower and claimed her one more time.

Ten

It was official.

There was no one like Haley.

All Damon had to do was convince her to stay.

Actually, he thought he had to convince himself to let her stay, but he’d worry about that after he’d given her the biggest orgasm of
