behind. “I picked all of those for you. Figured it was overdue.”

“That’s very sweet of you.” I peek at him over my shoulder and suck in a rasp. While I was distracted by the display, Crawford started stripping. Lust rolls off him in rapid waves. I allow the current to sweep me away without hesitation. Appreciating his sense of urgency, I turn to get a better view.

He’s already ditched the fancy button-up and silk tie. Only a plain undershirt conceals his upper body from my starving gaze. The white cotton stretches across his wide chest, each subtle shift pulling at the seams. His pants are unfastened at the waist, falling to pool around his ankles with a single tug. Crawford steps forward, a hunter tracking his next meal. Dessert might be the last course, but I plan to come first. Based on the blatant hunger in his light eyes, he couldn’t agree more.

Crawford traces the thin straps crossing over my shoulders. “I want to make love to my girlfriend. All. Night. Long.”

“Oh, you’re smooth, with all of these surprises.” Tingles break across my chest, tightening my nipples into stiff peaks.

His finger lifts a string and snaps the stretchy fabric against my skin. “Is it working?”

“Absolutely.” I tilt my head to the side, granting him better access to the dip at my neck. He takes advantage and draws a path along that sensitive area with his nose. A sighing wheeze curls off my tongue. “And I might have a little secret of my own.”

He growls against my ear, nipping at the lobe. “Tell me.”

“I’m not wearing any panties.”

He grips the elegant draping at my hips, bunching the slinky material in his fists. “Even at dinner?”

I shake my head. “It’s very freeing, and a bit naughty.”

He nibbles along my jaw. “Fuck, I love you.”

I freeze in his grip. “What?”

Hazel eyes crash with green. There’s no looking away, even if Millie burst into the room. “I love you, Kee. Isn’t it obvious?”

The rigid knot in my throat makes it difficult to swallow. “Well, um, I guess. You’ve been doing a good job showing me.”

“Just the words were missing.” His mouth meets the corner of my lips.

It’s as if he’s reading my thoughts from earlier. “I was convinced I didn’t need them, but it’s nice to hear. I love you, too. Do you know that?”

“I could’ve been an ass and assumed, but wasn’t positive.”

“Well consider all your suspicions confirmed.” I untie the knot at my nape. With a hiss of silk, my dress becomes a puddle on the floor. “Enough talking.”

Crawford feasts on my bare form, giving me the slowest once-over in the history of ogling. My skin pebbles further under his watchful gaze. Heat swirls around me, pooling in my lower belly and fanning out to my limbs. I twitch my fingers, desperate to touch him. His Adam’s apple bobs with a thick gulp as he tilts my face up.

“This mouth.” His kiss is delicate, yet I shiver against him. Crawford’s palms drift from the flare of my hips to the ridges of my ribs. He cups my breasts in his big palms, the pillowy flesh almost spilling over. “These tits.” A slow drag of his tongue along my cleavage follows that choppy statement. “So perfect. Every inch.”

I press myself into him. “Aren’t you dishing out all the compliments tonight?”

He groans into the crook of my neck. “I still have a lot of making up to do.”

“Where will you begin?”

His fingers dip between my folds, zeroing in on that needy bud. “Here?”

After a few swipes, I’m already nearing the edge. My body is primed and ready for the taking, building and spinning higher. I rock my hips into his hand. The relentless circles against my clit make me dizzy. My muscles clench on nothing, demanding more. He speeds up, and I grab his arm as an anchor.

“Oh, yes. There.”

Crawford pulls away just as the edge of my vision is beginning to blur. The suggestion of an orgasm fades faster than I can protest. “Not yet, Kee. I wanna be inside you. We’re gonna find release together.”

I’m nodding along, on board and raring to go. “Yes, I need you.”

With a harsh jerk, the T-shirt gets whipped over his head. He holds his arms out. “Take me, babe.”

No further encouragement necessary. I shuck his briefs with a single downward swoop. He palms my ass and hoists me up. I cinch my legs around him as he carries me to the bed. A second later, I’m
