warmth, gliding over hers, eliciting tingles from her toes all the way up to her scalp. Desperate for his taste, her tongue battled his until it swept through his mouth. She was thankful he was holding her upright or she would have slumped into a puddle on the floor. As one muscular arm continued to band around her waist, his other hand moved upward, fingers diving through her hair until they were cupping the back of her head.
She had come to recognize he was a man of many talents, and walking around furniture, down the hall, turning into her bedroom, and stalking straight to her bed with her clinging to him like a monkey and their lips never separating had to be one of his greatest skills. She couldn’t wait to see what else he had mastery over.
He sat her gently onto the bed, their lips finally parting as he knelt onto the floor between her legs, his large hands resting on her knees. His gaze roamed over her face, landing on her lips. She didn’t need to feel them to know they were swollen. Please, don’t let him stop now.
“Tell me again, Josie. I need the words. I need you to be sure. You said you weren’t a one-night-with-a-stranger kind of woman, and what you need to understand is that even though we’re no longer strangers, this isn’t a one-night-only. Not with what I’m feeling for you.”
She sucked in a quick breath, his words gliding over, around, and through her, landing at her heart. In an effort to keep her lips from curving into a wide smile, her top teeth landed on her bottom lip. But it was ineffective as her smile spread, nonetheless. “I do want you, Cobb. I want this tonight. Tomorrow. And for as long as it works for us.”
“Then be forewarned, Josie. I plan on making this work for a long time.”
Her hands moved up to cup his jaws, the feel of thick stubble underneath her fingers. Leaning forward, she whispered against his lips. “I’m ready. Let’s do this.”
A growl erupted from deep inside his chest as he lunged. His hands moved to her waist and he lifted her easily, settling her deeper into the bed. Crawling over her, his fingers danced at the bottom of her shirt, slipping underneath and lightly gliding up her sides, dragging the material until it snagged underneath her breasts. He hesitated for a few seconds, and she lifted her hands over her head, giving him permission and access to strip the shirt away, which he did with ease.
His dark eyes settled on her breasts, and as his nostrils flared, she watched the magnetic pull of pure lust move over his face. She quickly unhooked the front, pulling open the material so her breasts were now exposed, her nipples hard in the cool air. He placed his palms over her breasts, covering them completely, then gently swirled his thumbs around her nipples. The electricity zapped between her breasts and core, and she shifted her hips, wishing for a way to ease the need building inside.
With his legs straddling hers, he bent and pulled her nipple deeply into his mouth, continuing to palm the other. Moving between her breasts, giving equal attention to both, a smile spread over his face as she cried out with longing. Her fingers ran through his black hair, her short nails dragging slightly along his scalp. He continued kissing down her stomach while his fingers unzipped her jeans. Scooting backward off the bed, his booted feet landed on the floor with a thump. He reached into his back pocket and pulled out his wallet, removing several condom packets, tossing them onto the bed next to her before placing his wallet onto her nightstand.
Grinning, he reached a hand to his back and dragged his shirt over his head. The air left her lungs in a rush as she stared at his broad, naked chest. Smooth, tanned skin that had her licking her lips in anticipation of dragging her tongue around his darker, flat nipples. His abs were defined, and her fingers itched to move along the dips and ridges of muscles. He bent, and she lost sight of his hands but could hear his boots being unlaced. He stood to toe them off and bent once again to jerk off his socks.
Now they were both naked from the waist up, and she had no idea what she should do. Jerk my pants off and spread my legs
