Page 55 of Love Without Demands

He must have felt it too because I could feel his gaze on the side of my face. Opening my eyes, I found his face only inches from mine, and an unbidden sound whimpered up from my throat.

“You okay, Tink?” he asked, and I nodded. “You need anything?” Again, I nodded, inching my face closer. Cruz looped his arm around my shoulders until the side of my body was snug against his.

The only sound was the bubbling of the water as he brushed a damp piece of hair behind my ear before settling his hand on the side of my neck. Our eyes held like they had been bound together by invisible ropes as his thumb drew a slow circle around the hollow of my throat. The move was intimate, a lover’s touch, and I wanted more. So much more.

Cerulean eyes dropped to my lips and then made a slow inspection of every inch of my face before rising once again to mine. He must have found the answer to his unasked questionthere because he closed the distance between us, angling his mouth over mine.

My body came alive quicker than a flash of lightning, tingles alighting my skin. I’d never had such an instantaneous response to a kiss, and when his tongue made an unhurried trek across the seam of my lips, they parted like he was Ali Baba utteringopen sesame.

Our tongues met, and I knew immediately that this man knew how to kiss a woman. He licked into my mouth, circling and caressing my tongue with strokes of warm velvet.

My body became heated, the water around me feeling suddenly tepid, though it had to be over a hundred degrees. This man was so sexy he could make a nun hike up her habit and spread her legs.

And speaking of spread legs, how did I end up straddling his lap?I wasn’t sure, but I damn well liked it. Our torsos were pressed tightly together, and Cruz’s hands slid up and down my thighs before settling on my hips. His every touch was confident and sure, the simple strokes of his thumbs against my hip bones promising that he had the ability to take me to heights I’d never before reached.

With a mere tightening of his fingers, he urged me to move, and I did. It took a second for my kiss-addled brain to figure out what I was feeling between my legs.Is that his friggin’ penis?

Another rotation of my hips told me that yes, yes, it was indeed. His cock was a thick, hard rod nestled against my pussy, and I couldn’t have stopped moving if I wanted to. Which I most assuredly did not.

One of Cruz’s hands slid up my spine and cupped the back of my head, holding me in place while he deepened our kiss. We devoured each other’s moans as I rocked against him, an orgasm already on the horizon.

I was so damned wet, I was surprised I didn’t overflow the hot tub as Cruz blazed a trail of kisses across my cheek and to my ear. “Goddamn, baby. Does the rest of you taste as sweet as those pretty lips?”

“Yes,” I managed to say as he tongued the lobe of my ear. “I taste like Skittles.”

His low, dark chuckle raised goosebumps all over my body. “My favorite candy. You gonna let me taste the rainbow, Tink?” he growled before biting down on my earlobe.

Sweet lord have mercy!If he hadn’t been holding me up, I would have flopped back into the water and drowned at the mere thought of that gorgeous mouth of his between my legs.

“You can taste anything you want,” I panted, gripping his shoulders when his mouth made its way down my neck and to my chest. His skin was like fire beneath my fingers, every muscle bunching as he guided me in a slow roll over his length with all the control of a puppet master.

His own hips lifted, grinding that long erection against my clit, and my body shuddered with my impending orgasm. I hadn’t come with anything other than some very handy vibrators in so long, but now I was right there. On the edge of beautiful bliss.

All I needed was…

As if reading my mind, Cruz’s mouth closed around my nipple through my bright-purple swim top, and I clutched his hair.

“Yes, Cruz. Please,” I begged, my voice a desperate sob.

“Use my cock, Tink. Come for me.” It wasn't a request but a sweet demand, and when his teeth sank into my nipple, I willingly complied.

Throwing back my head, I came. Really fucking hard.

“Yes, god yes! Cruz!”

My hips bucked wildly, and the man beneath me held on tight, his moans vibrating through my breast and shooting directly to my pussy. Water sloshed from the tub, and the pungent scent ofchlorine combined with sex was like a sensual drug shot directly into my veins.

I’d never had an out-of-body experience before, butfuck me, it was like I was watching us from above, envisioning every movement of our bodies as I fell apart.

“Oh my god,” I croaked, my voice hoarse as I floated back to Earth on a lust-filled cloud. “You just blew my mind, Cruz.”

When I looked down at him, his smile had those wicked little dimples popping, and I pressed a hard kiss to his lips.

“I’m about to blow something else,” he said, “and I’d prefer not to do it in a public hot tub.”

That made me laugh, but it was cut short when the door to the pool room opened. Cruz instantly had me off his lap and seated about a foot away when an older gentleman with a gray mustache poked his head in.

“Hey, guys,” he said in a thick midwestern accent. “Pool area closed fifteen minutes ago.”
