a lot of people in Nepal and Cambodia.”
Claire’s eyes grow wide. Her jaw drops as she lets go of the door.
Yup. I thought that would get her attention.
“You’re going to help the organization I worked with?”
“Worked with?” I give her a questioning look. “I thought you helped establish it.”
She gasps. “You mean it?”
I nod. “I do. I’d like to make your cause my cause, too, if that’s okay with you.”
For a moment, Claire just looks at me with wide, teary eyes. Then she throws her arms around me.
I smile as I wrap my arms around her as well and hold her tight. I bury my face against her neck and breathe in the sweet scent of her soft hair.
I guess I should have started with that bit of news.
“You’re going to help so many people,” Claire tells me in a tone of wonder and appreciation. I see it in her eyes as she pulls away. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” I reply. Then I glance past her. “So, can I come in now?”
Claire takes a few steps back. Her lips curve into a wide smile.
“I have something better. You can kiss me now.”
My heart leaps at the words. I step into her apartment, kick the door shut behind me and kiss her. Claire’s arms come up to wrap around the back of my head. Her fingers stroke my hair. I run my hands along her sides as I slip my tongue inside her mouth and kiss her over and over. She moans. The sound ignites a fire inside my stomach.
Fuck. I don’t know how she does it, but she just stirs me up in the most incredible way.
I lift Claire off her feet and she gasps. I carry her to the dining table and set her down on it.
“Whoa.” She sits up and leans back on her arms. “Are you going to eat me up?”
I take off my coat and drape it over a chair. Then I loosen my tie.
“I’m definitely going to have my fill of you.”
I capture her mouth and push her down on top of the table. Her hands go back to my hair as her tongue rubs against mine. I grab the hem of her shirt and roll it up over her skin. My fingers brush against one of her nipples and she moans.
She’s not wearing a bra? Damn.
I move my mouth to her ear as I cradle both of her breasts. My thumbs rub against the soft peaks and they grow firmer. Claire gasps. My cock hardens inside my briefs.
I drag the tip of my tongue along the edge of her earlobe and suck on it. Then I start a short trail of kisses from her ear to her neck. I suck on her soft skin as I pinch and twist her nipples. Her fingers tug at my hair.
I start a new trail of kisses from her neck to the valley between her breasts, over her shirt that’s rolled up to her armpits. Then I lick one of her nipples. She shudders. I use the tip of my tongue to trace a circle around it as I continue rubbing the peak of her other breast. Then I capture it between my lips and tug. Claire gives another gasp. I suck on her breast and she moans. Blunt fingernails dig into my scalp.
I give her other breast the same treatment, then I drag my lips over her skin, over the soft curve of her abdomen and past her navel to the waistband of her pants. I plant a kiss on her belly button before pulling them off along with her underwear.
After I toss the garments aside, I grab Claire’s thighs and pull her body towards the edge of the table so her hips are hanging. Then I kneel on the floor between her legs and dig into my feast. I rub her sensitive nub with my tongue and her back arches. I lick the sweet-smelling substance oozing out of her and she trembles. My cock leaks.
I bury my tongue inside her heat. It spreads throughout my mouth, down to my chest and to my crotch. My cock strains against cotton. I ignore it and stroke her with my tongue. Her hips jerk. Her fingernails rake the surface of the table as sounds spill from her lips.
I close my eyes and savor the sounds as I relish my treat. Suddenly, I feel a hand on the top of my head.
“That’s enough,” Claire says as she pushes me away. “I
