“If you insist, but I’ll race you there. In less than thirty seconds, I want you right back where you are.”
“Deal.” The muscles in his arms bulged beside my head when he planted his palms on floor on either side of me, hovering there as he ran his nose down the length of mine. “It’s not like I’m all that eager to stop either.”
He jumped up then, following through with his plan of helping me up even though I’d said we were racing. His eyes smoldered as he looked down at me, but he smirked and smacked my butt once I was on my feet.
“Your thirty seconds start now.” We just about tripped over our own feet to get into the adjacent office, but when I hit the mattress first, I realized he had no intention of following me down.
He sat between my knees instead, his gaze riveted to mine as he spread my legs to fit between them. Still without breaking eye contact, he rolled up the front of my shirt to expose my stomach before lowering his mouth to plant a kiss beneath my belly button.
Electricity tingled over my skin from the feel of his soft lips there. Goosebumps rose in the wake of the electricity and a shiver ran down my spine.
He dragged his fingertips over my bare thighs before eventually hooking them around my waistband and pulling my skirt and panties down at the same time. Despite the clock I’d put on us, his movements were unhurried as he undressed me.
Parts of his fingers or hands touched me all the time, like he couldn’t bear the thought of not having some point of contact between us. His gaze followed his fingers, caressing me almost as surely as he exposed every inch of me.
Then his mouth joined the party as he kissed and nipped at my sensitive skin. Breathing in deeply once I was naked before him, his lids grew heavy and he let out another soft growling sound.
“I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of seeing you like this,” he said as he brought his hands to the insides of my thighs, dragging his burning gaze over my most private parts. I didn’t mind it, though. Not with him.
In fact, I spread my legs even farther apart and let my head fall back against the firm mattress. “I’ll never get enough of having you looking at me like that, but if you don’t touch me soon, I’m pretty sure I’m going to combust spontaneously.”
“As much as I would love to test that hypothesis sometime, it’s not going to be today. Today, I’m going to make you come until I’m about to combust spontaneously. Then I’m going to make love to you until Hunter comes in tomorrow morning.”
Emotion choked me up for a moment. “Make love to me, huh?” I never thought I would feel this way about him or anyone else, but I did. “I like the sound of that.”
“There will be plenty of fucking in our future, but that’s not what today is about.” He bent down and sucked a nipple into his mouth. As he swirled his tongue around it, I decided not to let out a smartass retort about his assumption that there would be plenty of fucking in our future.
There would be, and we both knew it. Besides, I just didn’t have it in me. Surrendering my body to his soft kisses and tender touches, I was nearing orgasm by the time he blew warm breath over my pulsing clit.
I cried out when he kissed it like it was his long-lost lover. My legs shook as he moaned against me and made me need him even more. His hands were everywhere as he worked his mouth over me, but when one of his long fingers slid inside, I couldn’t hold back anymore.
My orgasm was so powerful that I almost fainted. Stars exploded behind my eyelids and my muscles clenched him so tightly I wasn’t sure I would ever let him go. Even my gums were tingling by the time it subsided.
Chris kissed my skin lovingly, almost apologetically as I lay panting on the bed. He didn’t stop there, though. When I finally caught my breath, he started working me up all over again and sent me hurtling toward the blissful abyss again in no time.
“April,” he moaned when my brain eventually came back online. Trailing kisses up my abdomen, there was a tortured expression his eyes when he lifted them to mine.
