They stared at each other for another second, then they both burst out laughing.

He started undoing the straps that held his body armor in place and she took each item as he handed them over. He also took off his boots, then grabbed her by the hand and towed her into the bedroom’s bathroom.

They both stripped and got into the shower, the hot water running red for a few seconds as it went down the drain.

Anna brought his head down so she could kiss him.

Adrenaline hit his system like a lightning strike.

“You were right.” she said, her voice husky. “This is so much better without clothes.”

He made himself stop so he could meet her gaze. “I want you so bad I’m surprised I haven’t burst into flames, but...”

He kissed her. He couldn’t help himself.

“But?” she asked, avoiding his mouth so she could nibble on his neck. Not take blood, but flick her tongue across his skin, then suck.

He nearly came just from her attention on his neck and rubbing his cock against her sleek, slippery skin.

“But I want to take my time,” he said, his breathing deep and uneven. “And drive us both to the edge again and again.”

“Then we should get clean very fast,” she said, with a grin.

She was so absolutely adorable. He laughed again and hurried to wash. If he spent more time making sure she was thoroughly soaped and rinsed than himself, well, she paid more attention to him, so that was fair.

They stumbled out of the shower, unable to keep their hands off each other, dried off hurriedly, then managed to get to the bed.

“You’re so damn beautiful,” he told her as he positioned himself over her. He stroked his hand down from her neck to her generous breasts, stopping to tease her nipples. Her waist curved inward before flaring out at her hips.

“What do you like?” he asked coming down to kiss her. Again and again and again.

She wrapped her arms around his neck. “Going slow. Savoring the pleasure. As you said,riding the edge.”

Her words lit his blood on fire. “Your wish is my command,” he said, then kissed her, deep and possessive, while his hands played and pleasured her breasts.

She writhed beneath him, her hands in his hair, on his back, then on his cock. The sensation was so electric, he nearly came right then, but managed to hold the orgasm back by the barest of margins.

“I’m not sure,” she said, panting. “Slow is a good idea this time.”

“No?” he asked, sliding down her body as he kissed his way down her neck. If she kept stroking his cock, he was going to explode. “Why not?”

She put her hands on either side of his face and coaxed him to look at her. “Because I ache, Evan. I need you.” Her pupils were blown wide and her skin was flush with desire, but there was desperation in the tightness around her mouth. That was unacceptable.

He chuckled. “As my lady commands.”

He didn’t, however, rush. Her pleasure was his goal, so he paid special attention to her breasts for long moments. He sent one hand down her body, circling her clit then dipping inside with one finger.

“So wet,” he rumbled. “So soft.” He gazed into her eyes as he positioned his cock at the entrance to her body. “Somine,” he growled as he pushed inside, sliding in and in until he was deep, deep inside her, her body tight and hot around his.

Anna stared into Evan’sgaze. His eyes all but glowing with carnal intent; possessive, protective, passionate, and...selfless.

Selfless. His whole focus was on her.

Her pleasure,nothis own.

He gave himself to her, and even now that he was inside her, he waited to be sure she was with him.
