and she closed her eyes just as his tongue made contact with her clit.
It was like a sudden surge of electricity.
Her legs shook and her nerves tingled from head to toe. The man was an expert at going down on a woman. He wasn’t rough or in a hurry. He knew just how much pressure to apply and just where to touch.
He alternated pressing delicate kisses and stronger swipes of his tongue. The lighter touches were driving her insane. She was balanced on a razor-sharp edge ready to plummet at any second. Just a little more . . .
He lifted his head, and the breath she’d been holding escaped in a long sigh. If he’d touched her one more time with that delicious mouth, she would have gone off like a rocket.
“Can you get your bra off or do you need my help?”
She reached for the clasp in front and grinned as she unhooked it. A moment later she angled so she could get it all the way off and then sent it flying toward the pile of clothes on her floor.
Cole climbed up her body, sliding between her legs until their noses were a breath apart. His body was pressed to hers, his heat enough to scorch her.
“Damn but you have a gorgeous body, P.J. I could look at you for hours.”
“I’d much rather you touch,” she said impatiently.
He grinned and lowered his mouth to hers, kissing hard and deep until she forgot everything but him and this moment. Their tongues met and tangled. She returned his passion in equal measure. Never before had she felt such an urgency when having sex. She couldn’t wait for him to get inside her, to feel his strength in the very heart of her.
“I’m planning to do a lot of touching,” he murmured as he pulled away.
His mouth slid warmly down her neck and then to her chest. Her breasts were small, but he didn’t seem to mind. He palmed one soft mound, caressing and molding until her nipple was turgid and straining upward.
Finally he lowered his mouth and licked a circle around the puckered nub. She let out a long sigh of appreciation. This man seemed to know all her sweet spots. Knew just how to pleasure her. He couldn’t have done better if she’d given him a handwritten manual on what did it for her.
“You like that?”
“Mmm hmmm.”
He sucked the peak between his lips and applied rhythmic pressure until she was squirming beneath his body, restless and aching.
His hands were everywhere. He stroked and caressed her body like he was appreciating something of great beauty. She was no less enthralled. Her hands slid over every inch of his skin she could reach, exploring the contours, the hard muscles and the feel of his hair-roughened flesh, so different from her own.
When was the last time she’d been in such heaven over a sexual partner? Or maybe she and Cole had just let the tension between them go on for too long. Maybe they should have blown off some steam and had hot monkey sex long before now.
Maybe now they could stop driving each other crazy all the time. Or maybe this would make things a lot worse.
She refused to dwell on the future now. Not when she wanted him with every breath. It was stupid and irresponsible to give in to the growing attraction between them, but she wasn’t about to call a halt at this point. Whatever happened afterward, they’d just have to deal with it like adults and not let it interfere in their jobs.
“I don’t know if I can wait this first time,” he said hoarsely. “I’ve got to have you, P.J. I’m dying here.”
She smiled and tugged him upward for a long, breathless kiss. “What do you need, an engraved invitation? Fuck me, Coletrane. Foreplay is nice, but sometimes it’s overrated. Let’s get to the good part.”
“I love a woman who knows what she wants.”
He rolled off her long enough to get a condom and within seconds he was back, sliding up her body to position himself.
“You want top or bottom?” he asked.
She reached down to grasp his erection and positioned him at her opening. “I want both, but right now, I like you just where you are.”
“Oh hell, so do I,” he groaned.
“Take me, Cole,” she said. “I want it hard and fast.”
The muscles in his arms and shoulders coiled and bunched. His jaw was tightly clenched as he pushed into her.
They both let out a
