His hands were on her in an instant and with a practiced move Taz had her on her back, positioned perfectly between her legs. He kissed her again. And again. He kissed her until her head swam and her body shook and throbbed. She was on fire. Her body starved for touch and aching for more.

Shit, why in hell hadn’t she stolen some condoms from Ryland?

“We need to go slow, Peaches. We’re not having sex.”

It took a bit before she realized Taz had spoken. But she couldn’t form a reply. She was blinded by lust and need.

He dropped a kiss to the crook of her neck where her pulse was racing like a locomotive. “But if I have your permission, I’d like to try a few things.” He leaned back so she could see his face and her heart turned over at the sight. “To take off the edge. I wouldn’t want to leave a lady hanging.”

Chest heaving, Scarlett used her elbows to sit up, caught in the moment. “Get on with it,” she rasped, squealing when he pushed her back down and reached for the waistband of her jeans. He opened the snap and began to pull them down her legs.

Shit. Her insecurities came rushing in and with them a flood of thought.

She was only six months post-partum.

Damn, the shorts were at her knees.

Thank God she’d worn her new pink thong.

Now the shorts were off.

Ugh, her belly was still flabby. She had stretch marks on her hips. She… Oh God his mouth was on her inner thigh.

Everything else fled her mind as she let the simple joy and pleasure of a man who knew what the hell he was doing, do what he did best. Taz kissed his way up each thigh and then suckled her most private area through her thong, which was soaked with need.

“You’re so beautiful, Peaches.” He practically growled the words as her hips began to move of their own volition. Taz pulled aside the small scrap of fabric that, let’s face it, barely covered her up, and began to love her in a way she’d never felt. Ever. Not even with Malcom.

His tongue, his teeth and his mouth plundered her very core and the heat that began to build inside her was sharp and full and exquisite. He pulled at her clitoris with his teeth, the touch so slight, the pressure so subtle, yet shards of pleasure raced through her. Then he latched on and suckled.

“Oh, Taz,” she whimpered, as it continued to build.

“Come for me, Peaches,” he rumbled against her, his hands now joining the party between her legs. “I want to watch you come. Open your eyes and look at me.”

Scarlett looked down and the sight of him between her legs, his mouth covering her fully, was something she would never forget. “Now you’re being bossy,” she said on a gasp as her insides began to quiver.

“There’s my girl,” he said, a satisfied look on his face as her orgasm came crashing down, sweeping her away on a wave of pleasure so intense she couldn’t speak. She could only look down on the man who’d managed, in a short time, to worm his way into a part of her she thought she’d never give away again.

When the quivers subsided, she fell back, sated, her body still thrumming with passion. Taz gently pulled her shorts back up and they stood up together, his hands in her hair, his mouth on hers once more. This time the kiss was gentle, almost a caress and when they broke apart, they were both breathing heavily.

Scarlett’s eyes dropped. His arousal was obvious. “I’m sorry…I…you…”

Taz chuckled and adjusted himself. “Don’t worry about me.” He looked sheepish. “To be honest I wasn’t planning on lunch to get so…”

“So?” she asked, with an answering smile, at ease with this man.

“Interesting.”

“I think that word is lacking.”

“Delightful.”

She made a face at that.

“Unexpected?”

“Okay,” Scarlett replied. “I’ll take that one.”

His eyes darkened just then, and he pulled her into his arms, trailing kisses up the side of her neck until his mouth was at her ear. “That’s just a sample of the things I want to do to you. But like I said, we’re going to take this slow.”
