she couldn’t move. She couldn’t speak or even think. All she could do was anticipate the touch of his lips. She’d experienced it once before so she tried to brace herself. But she should have known. Nothing could prepare her for this…

When his lips finally touched hers, she inhaled sharply, barely moving her lips against his. But it was enough. The touch was simple, gentle and careful, as if he were afraid of breaking her, but the moment their mouths touched, lightning struck and Chloe moaned as his hands pulled her closer, molding her body against his as his mouth took possession. He didn’t have to tease her to open her mouth. She didn’t wait, ravenous for him and her arms came up, pulling his head down to hers, her fingers sliding into his hair as her back arched into him.

She couldn’t get enough of him and she loved it when he deepened the kiss, his hands moving from her back to her waist, creating a trail of fire as they moved. Chloe whimpered as she stretched up onto her toes, trying to reach more of him, to touch him against all of her.

She felt her shirt come out from the waistband of her jeans and when his hands touched her bare skin, she cried out, breaking away from the kiss as her mind fought to keep up with all the sensations that were blasting through her system.

His hands were in her hair, pulling her head back and she moaned again as his mouth moved to her ear, then down her neck, biting and nibbling as he explored her throat. When his hand moved along her skin, she wiggled, shivered in reaction. She reached down to stop his hand from moving again but he ignored her hold and moved so his thumb could caress her stomach and Chloe’s hand relaxed, then moved back to his shoulders, wanting to feel the same.

She didn’t hear the jumbling, but sighed with pleasure when he lifted her up and pushed her bottom onto the desk. A moment later, one hand came down to her leg, pulling her thigh so that one leg was bent, sliding against his hip and she could do nothing more than hang on as he pressed against her more intimately. This position had him right up near her and she could feel his reaction against her, hard and demanding.

When she’d felt that with other men, she’d either been afraid or regretful that she didn’t feel the same. But with Sam, she was thrilled that she could make him feel this way, so quickly and so strongly. It gave her a bit of feminine power that she’d never felt with any other man, hadn’t even wanted to.

“Chloe, we need to go upstairs,” she heard him growl but his hand moved, sliding upwards and she ignored his words, too caught up in the way he was making her feel. Then his mouth moved to hers again, his tongue sliding into her mouth, mating with hers and instead of gasping with pleasure, she could only imitate his movements, trying to figure out what he liked and reveling in the feeling of his body reacting to her touch, her kiss and feeling extraordinary because she had the power to make this man feel this way.

“Chloe, come with me now,” he said and pulled away, taking her hand and pulling her forward. “We have to finish this in a place that’s more comfortable than my desk.”

“Finish?”

Sam stopped and looked down at her, humor touching his eyes. “Chloe, when we make love for the first time, I want all of you and not some quick tumble on my desk. Come on, love. Let me show you,” he said and started moving towards the door again.

Chloe was confused. “We’re not going to make love, Sam,” she said but even she could hear the breathy quality of her voice. Clearing her throat, she tried again. “I can’t do this Sam. I don’t want…”

Sam moved closer, his hand moving to the skin he’d bared moments ago under her shirt. “Don’t say you don’t want this,” he growled out. “I know you do, your body just told me you do.”

She closed her eyes and took a step back. “No,” she whispered, humiliation sweeping over her. “I can’t. This isn’t right and we won’t work…”

“Yes we will, and I think I just proved that we will. Come with me and let me show you,” he said with a touch to her
