“I’m not asking you to.”

“I don’t want to hurt you.”

“Then don’t.”

“It’s not that easy.”

“It can be if you let it.” Her eyes locked on mine as she said, “I want this, Lawson. Promises or not.”

Without any further hesitation, I lowered my hand to her waist, then slowly trailed along her inner thigh. As I got closer to the hem of her skirt, she widened her stance, giving me access to trail towards her inner thigh. Her breath quickened as the tips of my fingers grazed the lining of her lace panties. My cock throbbed against my zipper, knowing she was already wet.

Fuck.

She shifted her hips forward and rested her head on my chest, closing her eyes as I continued to caress her slowly—teasing her and making her even wetter for me.

“So fucking incredible.”

I lifted her up and placed her on the edge of the kitchen counter. She raked her teeth over her bottom lip as she kicked off her boots, letting them drop to the floor. I stepped between her legs, gripped the front of her sweater and slipped it off her shoulder. I lowered the cups of her bra to reveal her perfect round breasts. I trailed kisses down her collarbone to her breast, then began swirling my tongue around her sensitive flesh. “Oh, God.”

I nipped and sucked, relishing the sounds of her little moans and whimpers as I teased her with my tongue and teeth. Needing more of her, I took off my cut then quickly removed my shirt. Desire flashed through her eyes as she lowered her gaze and studied my ink.

She reached out and placed the tip of her finger on my tattoo, tracing the lines across my chest. “You’re beautiful.”

“Nothing beautiful about me, babe.” She lifted her hips just long enough for me to take hold of her skirt and panties and ease them down her long, lean legs. “That’s all you. Every fucking inch.”

I tossed them to the floor and watched as she laid back on the counter. Her eyes never left mine as I lowered my head between her legs. Unable to wait a second longer, I leaned forward, widening her legs. She inhaled a deep breath as soon as my beard brushed the inside of her thighs, and my tongue skimmed across her center.

The second I tasted her, I knew I was in trouble. She was like the most addictive drug on the planet, and one taste of her would never be enough. I teased back and forth in a gentle rhythm against her sensitive flesh, loving the way her body instantly reacted to my touch.

Her breath became uneven and hitched as I thrust my finger deep inside her, rubbing against her g-spot—slow and steady. She tensed around me, and goosebumps prickled across her skin. I continued to tease her, staying just inches away from that spot that I knew would send her over the edge.

Her hips lifted up from the counter, begging for me to give her more. I instantly drove my fingers deeper inside her while my mouth clamped around her clit and sucked hard, giving her exactly what she needed.

“Lawson!”

And there it was.

The sound of my name on her lips set my soul on fire.

I continued teasing that spot that was driving her to the edge as I taunted, “That’s it. Come for me.”

She whispered my name over and over as she spasmed around my fingers. While she was still in the throes of her release, I slipped my hands under her ass and lifted her into my arms. I carried her into the bedroom and lowered her down onto the mattress.

She eased up on her elbows with a wanton look in her eyes. She was so unbelievably beautiful—like an angel that had fallen from the sky, and she was about to be mine.

All mine.

My eyes were still fixed on her as I pulled my wallet out of my back pocket and grabbed a condom. I quickly dropped my jeans to the floor, kicking them off along with my boots. I rolled the condom on, then settled between her legs.

Fuck.

I inched towards her, raking my cock across her center. She was warm and wet, and I ached to be inside her. My voice was low and gruff as I told her, “I’m not going to be able to go slow and easy. It’s just not in me, especially when you feel as good as you do.”

“I can take it.”

Clearly unfazed by my warning, she arched her back towards me and moaned while her legs wrapped around my hips to pull me forward. With one swift thrust, I drove deep inside her and froze.

Damn.
