Love In Secrets (Love Distilled #3) - Scarlett Cole Page 0,43

no way in hell she was leaving his bed without the two of them getting naked. Well, her naked. He already was. The summer had been too warm for him to do anything else. Cassie still wore his T-shirt. She was too soft, too sweet in his arms for him to take a step backward and let her leave. His hand covered her breast, and he allowed his thumb to rub softly back and forth over her nipple, feeling it come to life beneath his fingers until it was stiff and erect.

He placed his head in the crook of her neck, inhaling the scent of her as he pressed kisses behind her ear.

She shivered bodily against him and then stretched her limbs, her stomach muscles going taut beneath his hands. “Is this where we lose our clothes?” she mumbled, sleepily.

“Do you want to lose your clothes?” He prayed silently she’d say yes. Obviously, it was looking good, but he wanted to be crystal clear. “Do you want my hands on you?”

Cassie turned in his arms and winced as she opened her eyes, struggling to keep them open. “I want your hands all over me,” she replied softly.

His palms traced the curve of her waist and the softness of her hips until he reached the hem of his T-shirt, a second one she’d stolen to sleep in. He inched the material up over her thighs, over the planes of her stomach, over her nipples, which reacted immediately to the cool air, and finally, with her help, over her head.

“Christ, Cass. You’re stunning. I don’t know what to do first.”

“Kisses would be good,” she said, raising her face to his.

Yeah, kisses. He could do that while he regained some of his composure.

Her lips were soft, the kiss gentle, and he pressed his mouth to hers. It was lazy, as Sunday mornings should be. There was no need to hurry his quiet exploration of her. They were both still half-asleep, seemingly on the same page that there needn’t be a rush to the finish.

That would come.

No pun intended.

Her hands stroked down the length of his back, around the curve of his ass, her nails tickling him as she dragged them over his skin. He smiled against her lips before kissing them again. Gently, he pulled her closer, wanting to feel every part of her flush against him. Cassie let out a sigh when their torsos touched, when those delicious breasts of her pressed up against him.

She was as soft as he was hard, and he loved every goddamn minute and inch of her.

He tightened his hold on her body, breathing in her air, running his tongue over the softness of her lips, the sweetness of her tongue.

Sliding his hands between them, he moved lower until he reached the juncture of her thighs. When she opened her legs for him, he said a prayer of thanks. When he found her already wet for him, he groaned.

Jake dipped his fingertip into her juices then dragged it to her clit to circle it gently. Cassie flinched, his lips so close to her that he felt her breath. “Jake,” she sighed.

“I’ve got you, love,” he replied. And he did. He was going to love her so thoroughly before she left his bed. Her hips began to roll against his hand, and Jake answered their call, moving back and forth between stroking deep inside her, then applying pressure to her clit.

He added another finger, thrusting a little faster.

Cassie opened her eyes, focused on him as he strained to control the instinct to throw her on her back and sink into her. She slid her knee over his, leaving herself perfectly open to him. His dick wept in appreciation.

“Ah,” she gasped, her whole body flexing in reaction to his actions.

“Let me see it, Cass. Let me see how you come apart.” He curved his fingers, reaching further and deeper. Touching that place inside that could trigger the most explosive orgasm.

“I’m . . . so . . . close,” she gasped, her eyes fluttering shut.

“No. Open your eyes,” he instructed. He needed to see her get off more than he needed his own release. When they opened and focused on him, when he saw the vulnerability and pleasure collide in her pale blue eyes, he was done for.

When she mouthed his name, with no sound leaving her lips, her pupils went wide. Her hand gripped his wrist, holding him where he was as she moved against him, controlling her actions
