And when her inner walls clenched around him, he began to move. In and out, a slow slide, his cock dragging against the tight channel. Then a deep thrust and another one. Again. And again.
He dipped his head, took one of her taut, rosy nipples between his teeth and bit gently on it, tugging it lightly, before doing the same to the other tip. The little sounds of pleasure she made went straight to his balls. Thank god he could feel how wet and slick she was, because he was damn near getting to the end of his rope.
And still he never took his eyes from hers. He swore he could see flames dancing in that rich green, heat that reached right into his core.
Then the time for going slow was past. He increased his rhythm, thrust and retreat. Peyton tightened her legs around him and dug her heels into the small of his back, pulling them together even more tightly.
“Faster,” she urged.
And he obliged, pounding into her harder and faster, again and again, the edge so close he could see it. Feel it.
Then…it was there.
They exploded as one, her muscles clenching his dick, squeezing it hard. They shuddered together as they came again and again.
He had no idea how long it went on until finally, he collapsed forward on his elbows, shaking, his heart beating a million miles an hour. Or was that hers he was feeling? He wasn’t sure he could even tell. He brushed stray tendrils of hair from her cheeks and smiled, happy when her mouth curved in an answering smile.
“I might have had better sex sometime in my life,” he told her, “but I sure can’t remember when.” He touched his lips to hers. “I don’t have words.”
Her tiny smile told him she was trying to play this casual.
“That’s okay. Your body did the talking for you. You must get in a lot of practice at this.”
For some reason, her words bothered him. They shouldn’t have. He was a man who always made it clear to women he wasn’t in it for the long haul or a permanent arrangement, and so far, everyone had been happy with that. But for whatever reason, Peyton West didn’t fall into that category. She was in one all by herself. He already knew, in a little more than twenty-four hours, that this was different and he didn’t want to let her go.
And how stupid was that? They hadn’t even been on a date yet. Hadn’t done the tell-me-about-yourself thing. Even lived in different cities. Then a thought struck him and nearly sucked the breath out of him. What if she was involved with someone?
No. No, no, no.
He only knew what he’d learned on the Internet and from observation, but if Peyton West was involved with someone else, she wouldn’t be here in his bed with him, naked and flushed from hot, sweaty, satisfying sex. So what came next? She was a client with a complex, urgent case, and he always took care of business. They all did.
All. His partners. What the fuck would they think about this?
“Blaze.”
“Yeah?” He blinked. Then he kissed her again.
“You looked so deep in thought there.” She swallowed. “Listen. In case you’re worried, I don’t expect anything else from this. I mean, it was great! No, stupendous. No spectacular. But I don’t want you to think—”
He kissed her again to stop her from talking.
“I was just wondering how the hell this happened. I know you for just a little more than twenty-four hours and already I don’t want to let you go. That’s a big first for me.”
He waited, not sure he wanted to hear what she’d have to say.
She blew out a breath.
“I should tell you I’m all about no entanglements. I have a career I’ve worked very hard for and all my focus is on that.” Her face tightened. “At least it was until this happened with Dane and Brianne.” Then her expression softened. “But just so you don’t think you’re the only one who’s crazy here, I’m having the same feelings you are. How nuts is that?”
He chuckled, the tension around his chest easing.
“I guess that means we’re both nuts. And hold that thought.”
He eased from her body, pinching the edges of the condom, and headed for the bathroom. In seconds he was back and sliding into bed next to her. He pulled her against him so his body curved around hers, and slipped an arm
