tight quarters. Her knees hit the back of the bed and she took a heavy seat, her gorgeous hazel eyes tilting up to meet his hungry look with one of her own. She swept her tongue over her lips and leaned back onto her elbows, slowly working her way further up the bed.
“Lilah,” he groaned. Fuck, he loved the taste of her name on his lips. Those syllables coated his tongue and rolled out of his mouth with all the heated promise he could muster.
He placed a knee on the bed, then followed with a hand. His eyes never left her face as he added another knee, then another hand. He ran his fingertips up her ankle, up her shin, and brushed against the back of her knees. He stalked her over the bed until their bodies lined up hip to hip, chest to chest. Seth groaned again at the first press of his cock trapped against the apex of her thighs.
“I’ve wanted this from the first time I touched you,” he murmured against her neck. Mangoes and lavender filled his nose and made his mouth water.
Her breath picked up. “That’s hard to believe. I was running for my life.”
“Is it?” Seth leaned down and dusted his lips over her skin again. “You were dressed like a sexy librarian.”
“Fantasy of yours?” she asked, voice husky.
Seth smiled against her skin. Fuck, he hoped she liked a talker. He didn’t know if he could stop himself from babbling like a madman. “Did I want to hike up your skirt and peel down your panties? Mouth my way up your thighs until I reached your pussy? Kiss and lick and suck until your legs quivered around me?” His cock jumped against his zipper at her sharp inhale. The scent of her arousal made his head spin. “No, definitely not a fantasy. Not anymore.”
She let off a shaky laugh. “Cocky, aren’t you?”
He nipped at her earlobe. “Tell me to stop, then.”
She wrapped her legs around his waist and rolled her hips against him.
Seth growled and claimed her mouth again. Her heart sounded loud in his ears, but her gasps drove him on. She groaned and whimpered against his lips with every collision of their hips and tongues.
He curled his fingers under the hem of her shirt and slid it higher, soft cotton slowly bunching and exposing more of her skin. She unwound from him long enough to lean up and rip it over her head, then reached behind her to unsnap her bra.
Seth stared as he took in the curve of her waist and flare of her hips. “Gorgeous,” he growled, leaning back into her.
He kissed a line down her neck, over the upper curve of her breasts. Her nipples pebbled against his chest, begging for his attention. Plucking one between his fingers, he closed his mouth around the other. She rocked against him, offering more of herself, and he gave over to the feast.
Seth licked and nipped, breathing in her moans and gasps. His cock strained against his jeans. Painfully hard, he smoothed his hand down her body with a stroking, grasping touch. He wanted to know every inch of her before they were done.
He teased her with his hands, his mouth, spiraling her desire higher alongside his own. She rolled her hips to meet his, body stroking his dick with each grind. Fuck, he wanted to bury himself inside her and feel her clamp down all around him. She wanted it, too. Thick arousal scented the air and made his mouth water.
“How wet are you, gorgeous? How much do you want me?” He ground the heel of his hand against her heat, drawing a sharp cry from her chest.
She threw her head back and pressed against him on her own. “More,” she breathed. “More.”
“I bet you’re soaking right now. Fuck,” he groaned, “I want to taste you as you come.”
He reached for the button of her shorts, but her hands flew up to stop him. “Seth.”
The pained note in her voice and the rigidness of her body pulled him back sharply. He searched her face for any clue of where he’d gone wrong, but she avoided his eyes.
Her fingers dug under the hem of her shorts, and he understood.
Seth stroked a thumb over the back of her hand. “I don’t care, Lilah. You’re going to be beautiful to me no matter what.”
“I don’t like them.” She pressed her lips together, but slowly turned her face back to his. Desire and wariness warred
