She blew out a breath as Kane hovered above her. She smiled at him and cupped the back of his neck, bringing his lips to hers for an incendiary kiss that had her climbing right up that mountain of desire once again.

He pulled back.

“What you do to me,” she whispered.

“We’re just getting started.” He stood, unzipped his jeans and let them drop to the floor along with his boxer briefs. Naked, he was spectacular, all lean muscle and angular planes. All she wanted to do was map every inch of his incredible body.

He pulled her to stand and she turned so he could unzip her dress. She slid out of it and he unhooked her bra, tossing it to the side.

He shook his head. “You are so beautiful,” he said, cupping her breasts to tease and stroke her nipples, sending waves of pleasure throughout her body.

“You know,” he said, “I want to take the time to worship your entire body the way you deserve.”

She placed her palm on his chest. “That sounds nice and all, and I’d like to do the same to you.” She wrapped her hand around his throbbing shaft. “But what I’d really like is this hard cock inside me.”

He shuddered in a breath. “Yeah, let’s do that.”

They climbed onto the bed and he bent over to reach into his jeans at the same time she opened the drawer of her nightstand, both of them pulling out condoms.

He grinned. “Ever prepared?”

“Always.”

“Same,” he said. “But I’ll let you be in charge.”

“I like the sound of that.” She pushed him onto his back, removed the condom from the wrapper and enjoyed the hell out of the feel of him as she rolled it on. And since he gave her freedom of exploration, she intended to use it, straddling his hips and sliding his cock inside her. She paused, quivering with pleasure as her body wrapped around all that delicious steely flesh.

Unable to control the pulses, she began to move, sliding forward, then back, all the while using her hands to explore Kane’s magnificent body. She swept her fingertips across his chest, teasing his nipples until he gasped and gripped her hips, dragging her clit across his flesh.

Now it was her turn to gasp, to scrape her nails along his chest as with every one of his movements she climbed ever closer to climax.

Kane must have felt it, too, because his breathing sharpened to go along with the quickening of his thrusts. Mae tilted back, her hips arching so he could go deeper, so he could get her there, so he could get them both there.

He dug his fingers into her hips, that slight pain taking herright over the edge. She let out a loud moan with her climax, the pulses grabbing on to his cock and plummeting him over as well. The two of them shook with the force of it, like an erotic earthquake that made her reach out for him to help her balance. He grasped her hands and she held on while she rode it out, soaking in every delicious tremor until there was nothing left but heavy breathing and lingering peaks of pleasure.

Mae fell forward, stretching her legs on top of Kane’s and resting her head on his chest. He rubbed her back and shoulders and she swore she was going to stay just like this for the remainder of her days. Naked, languorous, her body aligned with this studly man.

It would be the perfect way to go.

But she figured that Kane might go numb with her body weight on top of him, so she rolled off. He got up from the bed and stepped into the bathroom for a minute. She turned onto her side, still feeling lazy and satisfied. When he came out, she couldn’t help herself—she ogled him. Fortunately, he took his time sauntering back to bed, crawling over to her, letting her enjoy the way his muscles flexed as he made his way to her.

He bent and brushed his lips over hers, then trailed his lips across her jaw and neck, making her shiver with delight.

“Remember when I said I wanted to take the time to appreciate your glorious body?”

“Mmm-hmm.”

He blazed a trail of heated kisses from her neck to her breasts to her belly, heading south. “Let’s do that now,” he murmured against her skin.

As he spread her legs, she said, “Yes, let’s.”

Chapter

fourteen

There was nothingworse than being on a location shoot and having nothing to do, but apparently the crew had some technical glitches to work out before they could resume filming, so Alexis had told Kane that they’d resume within a couple of days.

Which would have been great if he could have spent that off time with Mae, especially since it was Friday, which would have meant an extended weekend. But she had left early this morning and was now off in Vegas doing the bachelorette party thing with Brenna and her family and friends. So now he had no idea what he was going to do. Go exploring in the area, he imagined. He was fine going off on his own, but hanging out with Mae would have been a lot more fun.
