hips, all the way down to her pink-painted toes. Color flooded his cheeks, and the muscle in his jaw popped. “I’ve waited a long time for this moment.” He let out a slow breath saturated with lust and desire and awe. Cupping her breasts, he pushed them together, and then he lowered his face into her plump cleavage. His thumbs idly stroked her nipples, as he pressed hot kisses, and she felt the sizzle all the way down to the soles of her feet.
“God, Matteo.” She gripped fistfuls of his hair. “I can’t take it anymore.”
“You’re gonna take it. You told me I can do whatever I want, and I want to take my time. I want to touch every inch of your body, I want to taste you, and I want to watch when you come on my tongue.” He peeled back a lacy cup, exposing the peaked nipple. Holding her gaze, he flicked his tongue across it.
She hissed in a breath, her chest rising and falling in short, quick pants.
He closed his mouth over it, sucking, licking, and she tightened her hold, so he’d never ever stop making her feel good. She was burning, the pulse between her legs so insistent it ached. “Take it off. Take off my bra.”
Instead, he slid a hand under the waistband of her panties, the tip of one finger grazing her clit. She gasped, pulling his hair. “Matteo.”
“Yeah, baby. That’s what I want to hear. My name in your mouth.”
Peeling her panties off, he got down on his knees and nudged her legs apart. Her body trembled, and she’d never felt so alive, so erotically charged. Still watching her, he licked her clit—slow, sensuous—and she thought she was going to die of pleasure.
“Someone stole your happiness from you, and I want to give it back. All of it and more.”
This man. She dropped to her knees, threw her arms around his neck, and let him know with her mouth and tongue how much she wanted him, how he made her dizzy with happiness. Most of all, how he brought her back to her very best self.
And then he tipped her onto the floor, a strong hand gripping her knee and shifting her, so he could move between her legs. With a hand on each thigh, he spread them, his tongue licking the hot, slick length of her. Back arching, she ground herself against his mouth. A flashfire swept over her, and she was lost in everything Matteo.
His tongue circling her clit, he slid two fingers inside her, finding the sensitive patch that made her cry out. In her fevered state, she lost her sense of place and time, consumed by Matteo’s broad shoulders, the powerful bulge and flex of his biceps, and the relentless hunger of his touch.
“I’m not going to last…Oh, God.” She was coming. And it was bigger than anything she’d ever experienced. There was no way to prepare herself for the impact. “Matteo.” The fuse lit, fire blazed a path through her veins. She writhed, her body seizing, spiraling into a weightless state of pure bliss.
Before she could catch her breath, he gathered her into his arms, lifted her off the floor, and carried her to bed. Gently setting her down, he grabbed a condom from the wallet in his jeans and tore it open.
Just the sight of him standing beside the bed, towering over her in all his hard-bodied glory, set her pulse racing. She had no words, so she reached for his thigh, loving the heat and strength of him.
He stroked his cock. “I never thought I’d get to be with you. I’d resigned myself to a life on the sidelines. So, for me, this moment?” His breath hitched. “I’ve had a lot of good things happen in my life, but nothing compares to finally getting the girl.”
Frantic with need, she sat up, batting his hand away, and took his hard cock into her mouth. He was so hot, so big…he just made her wild with want. She sucked him in deep, licked him lavishly, reveling in the desperation in his eyes, the grip on her head as he pulled her closer. Those powerful hips pumped, and she loved that he didn’t hold back. There was something so freeing about being with a man who wasn’t tentative, who knew what he wanted and took it.
Yes, that’s what was exciting her beyond reason.
He knows what he wants.
And it’s me.
“Stop.” He pulled out of her mouth, squeezing his cock
