she was already dizzier than she'd ever been, thanks to the mojitos and the breathless effect this man had on her.
"And I know," he added, "because I've never been compelled to do this." He ran his tongue in a wet line down the thin skin of her shinbone.
Hannah gasped. Goose bumps raced up the back of her thighs and curled inward. Her hand reached toward the gleaming top of his head and then fell to her lap when his teeth grazed her ankle.
Did legs have erogenous zones?
But it was the old ankle-bone's-connected-to-the-shin-bone's-connected-to-the-knee-bone thing, she realized, her head taking a long woozy spin as he popped off her shoe and then moved to her other leg. No matter what spot he touched, she felt it somewhere else - as heat on the nape of her neck, as an aching pressure building in her breasts, as a plump swelling at the juncture of her thighs.
"I want to eat you all up," he said, proving it with his tongue to her left shin.
The wetness on her legs made her wet between them.
Her hands shaking, her whole body shaking, she downed the rest of the wine, then plopped the glass back on the table. "I think...I think..."
Her head against the cushions behind her, she realized she couldn't think at all.
He straightened, still on his knees, and moved forward so his hips widened her legs even farther. His palms flattened on the couch on either side of her head. His long hair swung forward as his mouth descended.
He slanted his lips against hers, immediately pressing them open. He'd said he wanted to eat her up, but instead the first thing he did was feed her a long, hot kiss. Her hands found his hair again, tangling in its cool weight as he slid his tongue inside her.
He flicked it against the tip of hers, and tingles shot from the tender skin beneath her arms to the tips of her breasts. She arched, trying to lift them to his chest. Needing more contact. Wanting more of him.
His tongue flickered again, and she felt the moan at the back of her throat, trying to escape. When he changed the slant of his mouth, it did find its way out, and he froze.
"I told you," he whispered against her mouth. "I told you it would be like this."
She didn't know what "this" was. There had never been anything like this. Ever. Her skin felt too tight on her bones and her nipples were hurting, hurting, with the need for friction, touch, this man.
He slid his tongue once again between her lips and she trembled. When he tried to draw it away, she caught at it with her teeth. He groaned, his chest dropping as she held his mouth to hers with her palms at the back of his head.
She felt his hand come between them, and she moaned at even that brief loss of torso-to-torso contact, but then she realized he was unfastening the buttons of his shirt.
With a soothing sound, he pulled his mouth away, and she panted, dizzy again, as she watched him straighten. In a wholly male move, he reached behind him one-handed to grab the back of his half-unbuttoned shirt and draw it over his head.
Her gaze followed the rising material as it revealed a golden wealth of skin. Belly button, rippled abdomen, a broad chest dusted with more golden hair. Between his two copper nipples lay a medal on a chain, and she reached for it, as if that was what she wanted to touch.
He jerked at the contact, his skin hot beneath her fingertips. "Yeah, sweetheart," he whispered. "Do that."
She wanted to do everything, Hannah thought with a sudden flash of raw desire. Good God, Hannah Davis wanted to do everything. Everything she'd seen in R-rated movies, everything she'd read about in the raciest books, everything an audacious friend had ever whispered to her behind her hand.
Half of that stuff she had written off as urban legend or at the very least awkward and uncomfortable...but now she wanted to give them all a try.
"Don't look at me like that," he whispered, his nostrils flaring as if scenting her shameless thoughts. "I'm not going to last this first time if you keep looking at me like that."
"I...I don't know how not to," Hannah whispered back. She hooked her fingers around the chain on his neck and drew him back down to her mouth. "I don't know how to do a lot of the
