and her liquid reaction to the realization shocked her. She wanted more of him. Her nails scraped down his chest of their own accord. “All right.” Sprawled on the bed with him over her, she suddenly understood all those romantic movies she sometimes watched alone. It’d take her a year to analyze these feelings, and right now, she just wanted more of them.
He held himself on his elbows, not crushing her but somehow surrounding her. She lifted her knees and pressed against his warm hips. Sensations coursed through her, new and deep.
“Having fun?” he asked, his lips wandering over her forehead, down her cheek, to bite her earlobe.
“Yes,” she whispered, caressing along his flanks to his lower back, which felt like stone that had baked in the hot sun all day. “You?”
“Yes.” He poised himself at her core and then slowly began to push inside her.
She gasped, widening her knees, her eyes widening too. Physically, her body was meant to take him in, but he was rock hard and monolithic.
“God, you’re tight,” he muttered, a vein protruding in his neck as he held himself back.
“It has been a while.” In fact, she couldn’t remember the last time she’d engaged in sex. At the moment, every man in existence except for the one inside her disappeared. He kept his pace slow but steady, stretching her with delicious tingles along the way. “I’ve never felt like this.”
He paused, his dark gaze cutting to her eyes. “You are so sweet sometimes.” Then he pushed harder, blending pain with pleasure. His big hand banded around her wrists and drew them up above her head, pinning them to the bed. Her back arched, and her breasts scraped against his chest.
She tugged at his grip, finding herself helpless in his hold. A shiver took her. “I, um, I don’t like this.”
“You sure about that?” He finally slid all the way inside her. “Your body just quivered, you got wetter, and you all but pulled me the rest of the way in.” His hold remained gentle but unrelenting.
The way he kept her in place shot excitement through her nerves. “Let me go.” She didn’t sound remotely convincing.
“No.” At the denial, her body bucked, heat flowing down her torso. Triumph filled his gaze. “Oh, we have some exploring to do, Professor.” The erotic threat had the desired effect of trapping the air in her lungs and flinging protons throughout her abdomen. His smile was devastating. “One thing at a time.”
Then he pulled out of her, paused, waited three heartbeats, and shoved back inside so hard the bed hit the wall. Pleasure rippled through her.
“More,” she murmured, locking her ankles around his firm butt. She might not be able to move her hands, but her legs were free. So she used her leverage to push him farther inside her.
He tangled the fingers of his free hand in her hair, finding purchase and taking control. Then he moved his lips over her jaw, finally taking her mouth again and kissing her deep. Still kissing her, possessing her mouth as fully as he did her body, he started to move.
Sensations rippled through her. The heat at her mouth, the hard length inside her. She lifted her hips to take more of him, meeting him thrust for thrust. Sensations tore through her, way too fast for her to catalog each one. Hunger overcame her, and she returned his kiss, taking everything she hadn’t realized existed.
He pounded harder, his breath harsh, his body everywhere. She closed her eyes to experience every sensation.
“Eyes on me, beautiful.” He paused inside her.
“No.”
He didn’t move.
She opened her eyes, caught by the raw possession on his face. The intimacy of the moment, of watching him take her, sent a charged jolt through her to where they remained joined. Followed by a hint of vulnerability she hadn’t expected.
“That’s better.” He pulled out and then pounded back in, setting up an impossible rhythm that reached a sensitive area inside her she’d only read about. His hammering matched the wildness suddenly pouring through her entire body.
Live wires began uncoiling inside her, sparking to the far reaches of her atoms. Breathing became difficult and then unnecessary. The only thing that mattered in the entire universe was where those wires led. Inside her, he was hard, pulsing, demanding.
Her body quieted for the briefest of seconds. Then ecstasy caught her. She reared up, into him, as she broke with a brutal cry. Her internal muscles spasmed with increased velocity, rippling stirring sensations into violent
