“We’ll start in one of my guest bedrooms,” he announced once we reached the top of the stairs. Anticipation took over my nervousness as Dane took my hand, leading me forward.
We would be following his rules and going straight to bed, and in all honestly, I didn’t want to wait. I wanted him immediately.
Dane turned on the lights and revealed a bedroom that was larger and better furnished than my own, but all I could think about was the hard pound of my heartbeat as Dane brought us over to the king-sized bed. It bounced us closer when we sat down on the edge of it together. Dane gripped my side to steady me, and I shuddered at his touch. My eyes lifted, and I couldn’t tear my gaze away from his. He was positively mesmerizing.
His large hands cupped my face. I shivered as his tongue slipped inside my parted lips. The caress of his mouth was searing, demanding. It was an exquisite touch against my own in a way that was instantly enslaving, and this was just his kiss. I didn’t want him to stop. My hands eagerly clasped his jaw with a need to prolong our connection. The more we kissed, the more brazen I became. I moved my hands up to rake through the thick dark waves of his hair and pressed hard on his mouth, sucking his tongue and filling me with his taste of crush mints.
He groaned as he covered my hands and gently pulled them down before ending the kiss, and we both worked to catch our breath. I let out a shaky exhalation and lowered my eyelids. “I don’t know what’s come over me. I haven’t had sex with anyone since my marriage ended. He had affairs.”
I sucked in to steady my breathing. I cursed myself for bringing the past up, but I felt the need to explain my eagerness. It only made me more ashamed, and I lowered my head.
He cupped my chin and lifted my face up toward his. “He was a fool,” he said with an edge to his tone that I appreciated.
I licked my lips. “A man with your experience…. I imagine—”
“Has no expectations of you, trust me on that,” he said resolutely. “I want real, not a sexual resume.”
That made me smile. “All right. I know I’m not supposed to be talking, sharing.” I blinked up at him and worked to control my breath. “I’m just nervous.”
“I understand, and I’ll allow it. I know this isn’t easy for you.” Dane’s eyes danced with amusement before he took my hands in his. “We start with you following. When you’re in a bedroom with me, you’ll need to ask permission.”
My lips parted. “For what?”
“For everything,” he said darkly. Dane’s authoritative shift was heady. My inner muscles clenched and my clit pulsed in response. I was hot to experience his brand of domination, and he didn’t hesitate to give it. “Stand between my legs.”
I moved to my feet and positioned myself in the gap between his strong thighs and long legs.
“I’ve been thinking about you all day.” He undid the tie on my wrap dress and spread it open. I shuddered as his hard gaze moved over the lace pushup bra and matching panties I had on underneath. “I imagined how hot your body would be.” His fingers grazed over the tops of the clasps holding the garters of my silk stockings. “And how much I want you under my hand. You want that, Gia? Tell me.”
My body flooded with heat as my pulse increased. “Yes…I do.”
“Take off your bra,” he commanded in a low tone. “I want to see how sexy you are.”
My fingers trembled so much as I unclasped my bra. He unwrapped my dress and helped pull it down my arms and onto the carpet, my bra following next.
His eyes darkened as they stared lustfully at my nipples, which were hardening, already aching for his touch. “Your breasts are perfect,” he groaned out, voicing his praise. “Cup them and offer them to me by leaning closer to my mouth so I can suck them.”
I heated up at his words and did as he requested. When my breasts were within reach, he placed a kiss on each one then squeezed them in his hands, and I couldn’t help but moan. Closing his mouth over my nipple, he licked over the tight point before sucking deeply, his teeth lightly biting down on one and then the other. The bite sent a jolt of pain and pleasure straight down to my throbbing clit and I let out a cry; it felt wonderful.
“You’re so responsive to my touch.” He blew puffs of air across the tips and I shivered, though heat waved between us.
His index finger trailed down my stomach to the top of the lace of my underwear. “I was envious of Elliott, how Elliott teased me with the sound of how wet your pussy was,” he said through gritted teeth. “How you asked for permission to get fucked by his hand and let me watch. Take your panties off…slowly.”
I took in a ragged breath as I shimmied the lace and satin down my legs. I pulled them off and handed them to him.
“Fuck, you’re stunning,” he groaned.
I sucked in air as I stood there, exposed and trembling in front of him, my arousal slicking my thighs.
“All I could think about was feeling you come on my face…how good you’d taste. You made me crave you.” His words had an edge, like he had reached the end of his patience. His hands slid over my buttocks to the tops of my thighs and he tugged them apart, making me widen my stance. “Beg me, Gia.”
“Please, Dane,” I pleaded without hesitation. I could feel my pulse pounding in my ears, and anticipation charged the air between us. I wasn’t about to deny him. I was too far gone now.
He swiftly moved me onto the bed. “Spread your legs wide for me.” I opened my legs some, but he spread them wider and then buried his face between them. His tongue was desperate and seeking as he licked through my slick folds with long wet strokes, pressing in against my swollen clit. The intensity of his need and desire was urgent and demanding. Loud, breathy moans from both of us filled the room.
My hands caressed the soft wavy hair on his head as he consumed me. Never had a man taken me like this. Never had I ever felt so desired.
I ground my hips into his mouth as I moved closer to my peak.
