Hot SEAL, Heartbreaker - Cat Johnson Page 0,33

until she abandoned any attempt at control over her own body.

Her muscles clenching, hips thrusting, she reached peaks she’d never attained before until her body’s autonomous response to his touch became almost frightening.

Planting a hand on his head, she pushed him away until he had to break contact with her.

He gazed at her as wiped his mouth, watching, waiting.

“Bedroom?” she gasped.

Brian glanced at the smart device on the side table across the room. “Thirty minutes aren’t up yet.”

“Alexa, cancel timer,” she called, breathless.

“Timer canceled.”

His lips twitched as he stood. “So this means your vote on our trial is a yes?”

She struggled to stand, balancing on wobbly legs as she tugged her skirt down but ignored her underwear on the carpet.

He was being a smart ass. That question was proof of it. She’d forgive him in light of the need that still ached inside her.

“Yes, I vote yes.” She reached to grab his hand and tried to pull him forward.

He stood his ground as she tugged in vain.

“What?” she asked, frowning.

He cocked a brow high and didn’t move. “Wait a minute. We agreed the decision has to be unanimous and I haven’t made my determination yet.”

She pulled her mouth to one side unhappily as he continued to tease her.

Okay, maybe all her rules had been over the top, but now wasn’t the time to debate that. Not when her insides still pulsed and she craved him so badly her stomach ached.

He rubbed his chin and stared at the ceiling, as if considering his decision before saying, “Okay. I guess I’ll vote yes, as well.”

“Are you done?” she asked, hoping this cocky smart-ass phase was a passing one and he was done joking around so they could get back to business.

Brian narrowed his eyes as his gaze swept up her disheveled appearance to finally land on her face.

“Sweetheart, I’m not nearly done yet.” He took the lead and pulled her by the hand, tugging her around the sofa and toward the hallway. “I hope you took your vitamins today and have plenty of energy. Because I can tell you right now, one time isn’t going to be enough.

Judging by what she’d experienced so far, she had to agree.

SIXTEEN

He wasn’t shaking anymore.

Not as he tossed Alicia onto the mattress. Not as he undid his belt and then the fly on his jeans. And not as he crawled onto the bed in nothing but a smile and one of the condoms he’d shoved in his pocket on the way out the door after receiving Alicia’s text.

It seemed that her loud and exuberant orgasm had knocked any nervousness right out of him. Good to know. He didn’t mind that remedy to conquer his nerves at all.

Or maybe it was his victory that had given him confidence.

He’d risen to the thirty-minute challenge she’d presented and had come away victorious—in half of the allowed time.

It was enough to swell a guy’s head—and other parts.

He glanced at Alicia on the bed. She waited silently for him to help her out of her clothes, which he did with quick, efficient movements.

It seemed that orgasm had knocked the bossy, control-freak nature out of her too. He was in control now.

Orgasms—a two-for-one cure all. He liked it. But he’d like Alicia, naked on the bed beneath him, best of all.

It had been a long time since he’d had this particular pleasure. Deployments got in the way of lots of everyday things that, when stateside, he took for granted. Sleep. A comfortable bed. Good food. And sex, most of all.

But he had to think the recent months of celibacy would make today even more satisfying.

The sight of her, naked, flushed, eyes bright, breathing quick and shallow, was doing a lot for his anticipation of this, the main event.

She widened her legs. That was all the prompting he needed. He wedged himself between them.

Braced above her, he watched her, as she watched him, her eyes heavily lidded with desire.

They were breaking the rules they’d set up that first night at McP’s. No kissing. No PDA. No sex.

Oh well. Rules were made to be broken.

He positioned his length at her entrance. One tip of his hips and he was seated deep inside her slick heat.

The sensation had his eyes slamming shut as all thought fled.

All that was left was the need to take her, hard and fast. His body demanded that he come deep inside her.

He could live to regret this but damn, right now, it was worth it. No matter what the consequences.
