mind on one single objective.
Make this woman come all night long.
She tugged at his jacket. “Why are you still in that suit?”
That was a good question.
He walked them over to the bed and plopped her onto the mattress. With a surprised gasp and a giggle, she leaned back onto her elbows and settled herself on the bed. The dim light cast her in an ethereal glow, and with her tousled dark hair and those mesmerizing green eyes, his gaze devoured her body.
He loosened his tie and tossed it onto the bed. Then, buttons popping, he stripped out of his dress shirt and kicked off his shoes, pants, and boxers.
Slowly, he prowled the length of her body, trailing his lips from her ankles, up her calves, and past her thighs. She gasped as he slid the silky G-string down her legs.
“You’re like a work of art,” he growled against her thigh, nipping the sensitive skin when a flash of royal blue caught his eye, and he reached for his tie, dragging the soft material between her breasts.
“What are we going to do with this?” she purred, working the material between her fingers.
He thought back to when he helped her with the sleep mask. “Lift your head,” he directed.
She complied, and he covered her eyes, fashioning a makeshift blindfold, then positioned his cock between her thighs.
“I’m going to lick and suck every inch of your body.”
She bit her lip as he teased her entrance with the tip of his cock.
Without the gift of sight, her hands slid down his back, greedily exploring his body until she reached his ass and dug her nails into his flesh. He sucked in a tight breath, wanting to drive in hard. He tensed, so ready to have her calling out his name in ecstasy when he stared down at her and stilled as a wave of familiarity crashed over him. He liked having her blindfolded. He liked it a lot. He wasn’t much into the kink, but this felt right.
“Are you ready?” he whispered against the shell of her ear.
“Yes,” she gasped.
Desire thrummed between them as he thrust inside her and was met with her sweet, warm heat.
With her blindfolded, he stared down at her and pumped his hips. He liked watching her. He’d never noticed the little things about the women he’d fucked. But with Natalie, every gasp and every sigh drew him in, deeper and deeper. He slid his hand down the side of her body and cupped her ass, changing the angle to deepen his penetration and grind against her sensitive bundle of nerves.
He dialed up his pace, and she wrapped her arms around him, anchoring her body to his. Lust and need hammered through his veins as he worked her into a frenzy. An ocean, raging with a feverish intensity, threatened to swallow them whole. But he needed more. He needed all of her. Removing the blindfold, he met her gaze and cupped her face in his hand. He kissed her and swallowed her sweet cries of pleasure as she met her release, and he couldn’t hold back. Lost somewhere between the past and the present, a storm thundered through him, and he flew over the edge. The coil wound tight in his belly exploded with a rush of heat and euphoria.
He’d been guarded for so long, this freedom to let go, to give himself over so unreservedly felt as if someone had handed him a get out of jail free card. A wave of peaceful bliss he hadn’t known in years engulfed him as they came back from ecstasy’s abyss.
A tangle of arms and legs, he smoothed a lock of hair behind her ear.
“That was some…intercourse,” she said, catching her breath.
He chuckled. That word would never sound the same to him again. He shifted his body off of her and covered them with a worn quilt from the end of the bed.
“Are you like this with all your fake girlfriends?” she asked, resting her head in the crook of his neck, and the tightness returned to his chest.
He wasn’t like this with anyone. It had to be this place. It had to be the memories of who he used to be that brought all his defenses crashing down. He didn’t have the luxury of being like this with anyone, especially her. Emotional ties made a person vulnerable and weak, and in his world, love and control couldn’t coexist.
And more importantly, he wasn’t just here to pretend to be Natalie Callahan’s boyfriend.
He
