“Hewanted every part of her so badly.Hewanted to taste and claim and devour.Buthe knew that patience and a slow, gentle touch were what she needed.”

Heleaned over her and kissed her, nipping at her lips.

“Hiswife deserved more than a quick fuck.Shedeserved pleasure, and he intended to give it to her, over and over again.”

“Yes,” she breathed, hips starting to writhe beneath him.

Heslipped a hand up under her sweater, tracing his fingers across her ribs, toying with the fabric of her bra.Theireyes met, and she looked so beautiful that he forgot to breathe.Everythinghe’d been about to say about the scene and their characters flew out of his mind because now, all there was wasHazel.

“Hisfingers glide over her skin,” she whispers, “raising goosebumps on the delicate swath on her stomach.”

Adamsucked in a shaky breath.Holyfuck, this was hot.

Hedid as she’d suggested, moving his hand from her ribs to her stomach, playing along the waistband of her jeans.God, she was so fucking warm.Sofucking soft.He’dnever get enough of touching her.Ever.

“Heswallows thickly, gathering his restraint,” he said. “Hewants to ravage her.”

“Buthe knows to go slow.”

Heflicked open the button of her jeans. “Hestarts undressing her, making swift work of petticoats and corsets.”Hecupped her through her jeans, resting his hand over top of her pussy.Hecould feel the heat of her even through the fabric separating them. “Withone fleeting touch, he can feel that she’s drenched for him.”

Stillon his knees, with one hand in her pants, he used the other to push her sweater up, tracing circles over her hard nipples through the lacy fabric of her bra.Heloved how his big hands swallowed her up, making her cheeks go pink and her nipples harden even more.Heslipped his hand out of her pants and pressed against her, letting her feel him.

Shelet out a shuddery gasp, eyes only half open.Heleaned down, his lips brushing against her ear as he spoke.

“Hepresses his hard cock against the core of her, wanting to assure her that he wants this as much as she does.Thather desire is welcome.Encouraged.Somethingto bask in.Becausehe can barely contain himself at this point.Already, he’s thinking of the hot clench of her around him, of filling her with his come.”

Hepressed into her again, working his cock against her, and they both let out a shuddery moan.Adam’seyes fell closed, a groan bursting out of him asHazelrubbed herself against him.

“Hetrails his lips down her neck,” she whispered, and he did as she asked, kissing and licking and biting down the length of her delicate neck.Shetasted warm and sweet, like sunshine and home.Shemoaned as he sucked on the spot just beneath her ear that always made her a little wild, and sure enough, she tangled her hands in his hair and pulled him to her for a kiss.Hisdick pulsed between them, getting harder and harder, and he rocked into her, the teasing friction only making his blood pump harder and hotter.

Hazeltugged on his hair and deepened the kiss, and he could taste the wine on her tongue.Itwas the kind of kiss that he wanted to drink forever.Thathe wanted to drown in.Desperateand needy and full of passion.Hertongue tangled with his, andAdamknew thatHazelwas the only one he ever wanted to kiss like this.Theonly one.

“Thekiss is intense,” he pants against her lips. “AndSamuelwants nothing more than to devour his wife.Hecan sense her passion, and he wants to let it loose, like a summer storm.Hewants to ravage her.Hewants her to scream his name and forget her own.Hewants to make it so good that she begs for more.

Hazelwrithed beneath him, her hips pushing up to his.Seekingfriction.Seekingrelief.

Hepulled the cup of her bra down, exposing her sweet pink nipple.Hetugged it between his fingers, making her gasp and arch up into him.

“You’reso fucking hot,Hazel,” he said, breaking the spell for a moment.Buthe could see how close she was to unraveling, and he wanted her to know he was right there with her.Thatbeneath the façade he was putting up, he was feeling just as desperate for her. “IfIcome in my pants while we’re figuring out this scene, that isnotgoing in the book.”

Shelet out a musical laugh, twining her arms around him. “Well,Samuel’simmortal and has had over a thousand years of practice when it comes to restraint.You’rea mere forty.It’snot fair to compare.”

Hetoyed with her nipple and she stopped laughing. “‘Doyou like that, darling,’ he’d ask as he touched her for the first time.”

“Yes,” she said breathlessly, and he didn’t know if that wasHazel’sanswer orMaryElizabeth’s, but he didn’t care.

Andjust like that, his patience evaporated.Hepulled her sweater off over her head, made quick work of her bra, and then pulled his own shirt off, tossing the garments to the floor, one by one.Thenhe undid the zipper of her jeans and tugged them down over her hips.

“Fuckme,” he growled. “Haveyou been walking around without underwear all day?”

Shegrinned at him, mischief sparkling in her eyes. “Surprise.”

Hewrestled her jeans off, his hands trembling slightly. “Theidea that you’ve been bare all day…”Heexhaled heavily as he brushed his fingers against the cleft of her pussy. “Fuck.”

Thelast of his restraint evaporated, and he pinned her wrists above her head. “Spreadyour legs.Showme how wet you are,” he said, his voice taking on a rough edge that he barely recognized.Shedid, spreading herself wide for him and showing him the glistening pink between her legs.

Hedragged his fingers slowly and deliberately over her clit, making her gasp and buck up into his touch.
