before circling her breast. Around and around, never touching the taut nipple straining toward him, but sensitizing the flesh until thinking about anything was impossible.
“Any questions, observations?” he murmured.
God, no. Just keep doing that and we’ll be just fine, Sir.
He leaned down, a smile tugging his lips. “Time to see if these taste as good as your pussy, little one. My money says no, because nothing’s as sweet as that, but I think I should check just to be sure.”
What was she meant to do with her hands? Grab the sheets? Grope him? Maybe he’d like that. Would it make her seem too eager if she started pawing at him? He didn’t give her a chance to find out—warm breath washed over her flesh, then heat surrounded her nipple.
Her body arched, twisted, but his mouth remained attached to her breast, tongue flicking and rubbing the distended peak he sucked on greedily. Pressure spiraled wickedly down her body, between her kicking legs, then pain spiked through her other nipple, caught between his thumb and forefinger. “Braun!”
He released her with a soft pop of suction. “I stand corrected, little one. Just as sweet.” Returning to his task, pain blossomed through the nipple in his mouth, matching the one controlled by his fingers. Teeth and hands teased her until she writhed desperately on the bed, mewling like a wounded kitten.
Braun finally gave her a break, letting her catch her breath as he nuzzled between her breasts. “I’m hoping you’re not having a panic attack, Bodie, by the way you’re wheezing. Just take a minute, breathe.”
Breathe? How the hell was she supposed to breathe when her skin was alive with tingles and her body was seconds away from combusting in a puff of smoke? The brush of his stubble along the insides of her hypersensitive breasts was driving her crazy. “Braun, please. Please do something.”
Trembling, she mourned the loss of him as he pushed up from his leant over position and surged fluidly onto his feet. Where his hip had rested against hers, her skin wanted him back. That simple connection settled her.
Afraid she’d said something wrong, she held her tongue for fear something stupid and more damaging might fall out and make him walk away from her for good. Surely he wouldn’t, couldn’t be cruel enough to leave her when she was in this state, burning up from the inside out.
Foil crinkled, and she watched with wide eyes as he rolled a condom down the substantial length of his cock. Oh boy, no, he wasn’t leaving her. He was just preparing for the next step forward.
Bodie shrank into the mattress as he climbed back onto the bed, his huge hands circling her ankles, bending her legs at the knees and spreading her wide. Her muscles quivered as he looked at her, his eyes roaming over every naked inch laid out before him, with hunger etched over his stunning face.
She felt like prey, and she didn’t like it.
“Keep these legs right here,” Braun ordered; only he made it sound more like a suggestion than a directive. His hands grazed up her calves, along her thighs, in slow strokes. “How are you feeling, Bodie?”
Was this how the blonde girl had felt, tied to the table with three animals bearing down on her? Braun was taller, broader, than all three Callahan boys smushed together, but he exuded the same raw desire she’d seen in them that night.
No. No, that’s wrong.
Not the same, not the same at all. This man was nothing like three adolescent teenagers wreaking hell on a young girl. Braun had a conscience, he had morals, and fuck knew he had a wealth of patience she couldn’t begin to imagine. He’d had more than one opportunity to take advantage of her, to put her in an untenable position where she couldn’t refuse him, and he hadn’t even thought about doing so.
He’d been nothing but a gentleman.
It was going to be all right.
“Use your words, little one,” he coaxed, eyes focused solely on her face. The understanding in his tone gave her room to relax, and she chided herself for doubting him. “You can tell me anything.”
Now she knew what to do with her hands. Even as nerves rippled under her skin, she reached for him, and Braun didn’t disappoint. He leaned over her, carefully easing his weight on top of her. Brushed his nose against hers lovingly before capturing her mouth and kissing her until every tense muscle just gave in and went limp.
He
