special reason?” He kept his voice calm and even.
“Yes.” She swallowed so hard he could hear her. “To me that’s the most intimate act you can do. Even more than…than what you were just doing. I’ve never been with anyone I wanted to open myself up to that way.”
Blaze was so stunned that for a moment he couldn’t think of what to say. The women he bedded were into anything, and that meant absolutely everything, without batting an eyelash. He drew in a deep breath, steadying himself.
“We’re not going to do anything you don’t want to.” He reached for every bit of control he had. “That’s not how I roll.”
“I don’t… I want…”
He curved his body over her and whispered in her ear, “But this is almost as good.”
He slid his finger into her sex, finding it still soaked and quivering with the last tremors of her orgasm. Yes! He could hardly wait.
He rested his hands on her hips and placed a soft kiss on each cheek of her ass.
“Deep breath, Peyton. Here we go. I can’t wait any longer.”
He nudged her opening with the tip of his shaft, drew in another breath and drove into her with one swift thrust.
Oh, Jesus!
He had to stop a minute and take a breath. If he’d thought things might not be as intense as they’d been last night, he was definitely wrong. If anything, his feelings were stronger, which just blew his mind. And he had no idea where they were going with this, but he definitely was all in.
Squeezing her hips, he began the steady in and out movement, thrust and retreat, thrust and retreat, slow and steady at first but then faster and faster. She was slick and wet and tight as hell, her inner walls gripping him like a vise as she moved with him and creating a delicious friction. On and on it went. He could tell she was close again and he reached for his last frayed thread of control so he didn’t let go ahead of her.
And then there it was, an orgasm of what he’d later think of as cataclysmic proportions. They crested together and exploded, her sex squeezing him hard as he spasmed inside her. There was nothing but himself and this woman and this epic orgasm.
And then…
Then they were finished, Peyton collapsing beneath him as if her limbs had turned to water, her breathing heavy, body slick with sweat. Blaze could identify with that because he felt the same way, in spades. His body was spent from the most intense orgasm he’d ever had. Oh, wait. Except for the one last night. Holy fuck! His heart was pounding so hard it echoed in his ears and his lungs were begging for more air. He’d never in his life had a woman affect him this way and he wasn’t quite sure what to do with it. One thing he knew for sure. He wasn’t walking away from this. He hoped he could convince Peyton to do the same.
Bracing himself on his forearms, he placed a string of gentle kisses the length of her spine, then slid from her body and eased off the bed to dispose of the condom. When he returned, she was still lying there, exactly as he’d left her, gorgeous hair spread out across her shoulders, her naked body flushed from the heat of passion. He sat beside her on the bed and ran his finger gently down her spine, bringing out delicious shivers.
“I’d love to crawl back in here with you, but we need to be at the hangar before nine. If we shower together, do you think we can keep our hands off each other?”
She rolled over to look at him and laughed.
“It would be a much harder exercise in discipline if we hadn’t just expended all our energy.”
He brushed a kiss over her lips. “You’re right on that one. Okay, then. Let’s get to it.”
Chapter Ten
The sun was barely up when Blaze woke her. Peyton could hardly believe he’d woken her so early. She rarely had morning sex, usually because she wouldn’t stay over at someone’s place or have them stay over at hers. She couldn’t believe how exhilarated she was, a feeling that carried her all through their meeting with Frank and the run-through of the new security system in the house. The security man had even changed all the locks and handed a new set of keys to each of them.
“If someone tries to get in again,
