his arms, and he easily made it into the master bedroom.
Setting her feet onto the floor, he glanced toward the two windows facing the street, glad he’d already pulled the blinds. He reached around the side of her and turned on the light by the bed, casting a pale glow over her face.
They stood for what felt like an eternity but could have only been a few seconds, their bodies close but not touching, their eyes pinned on each other. He leaned forward, placing a gentle kiss on the tiny beauty mark next to her eye.
Her hands slowly moved upward, resting on either side of his waist, her fingertips digging in slightly. Mimicking her actions, his hands continued higher, cupping her face.
Her lips curved slightly, and she whispered, “What are you thinking?”
“That you’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.” She started to roll her eyes, but he swept his thumbs over her cheeks and shook his head. “That’s not a throwaway line, sweetheart. That’s exactly what I’m thinking right now. That you’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, and I’m the luckiest man to have you here with me.”
Her grin widened and her hands slid from his waist to hers, deftly untying the belt of her wrap dress. Seeing how easily the dress flew open, his eyes widened with surprise and he considered making it a requirement that all her clothes made it that easy for her to disrobe. She allowed the material to puddle on the floor and was now standing in her green satin bra and matching panties.
His finesse left him as he stared in awe at the gift she was offering him. Her fingers moved to his shirt, starting at the top button and moving down, pulling the material from his jeans. His shirt soon joined her dress, and her fingers moved to his belt.
“Sometime you’ll have to tell me all about your tattoos. I want to know each story.”
Grinning, he nodded. “Love to, babe.” His hands slid to her shoulders, then the fingertips of one hand drifted lower, tracing the lace at the top of her bra that covered the swell of her breasts.
She sucked in a quick breath, and her fingers fumbled on his belt. Still grinning, he took over, quickly shucking his jeans and boxers down his legs after toeing off his shoes. Jerking off his socks, he stood completely naked in front of her, loving the way her gaze drifted languidly over his body, her top teeth biting her kiss-swollen bottom lip.
“We seem to be uneven,” he said as his fingers slid around her back and deftly unfastened her bra, allowing it to slide over her arms and land on the floor between them. With only her panties left on, he wrapped her in his embrace and kissed her again, maneuvering her to the bed. He covered her body with his own, then slowly kissed down her neck to the swells of her breasts where he moved between each one. The harder he suckled, the more her fingernails dragged along his scalp, the tingling shooting straight to his already-aching cock.
He kissed lower, circling her bellybutton with his tongue before shouldering her thighs apart. Grasping the satin material of her panties, he dragged them down her legs and quickly slid her sandals from her feet. Standing, he stared at her body, naked and flush, open and inviting. She lay still, giving him the perfect chance to view every inch. He had wanted to go slow but wondered if he had it in him to be so disciplined.
Kneeling between her legs, he pressed her thighs open wide, her slick folds beckoning. The scent of her arousal called to him and he dove in, licking and sucking as she cried out, wildly thrashing underneath him.
Her hands held him in place as her hips undulated as though seeking him to be closer. Inserting two fingers into her warm channel, he searched for just the right movement, soon finding it as she called his name and her body shuddered its release. Licking more, he tasted her essence, knowing it was now an addictive drug that he would always crave.
He kissed his way up her body until his mouth latched on hers again, allowing her to taste what he had just reveled in. She moaned, clutching him tighter as their tongues tangled. “I need you,” she mumbled against his mouth.
He shifted to the side, stretching his body so that he could jerk open the nightstand, extracting a
