Kyle pinned Ella to her jeep and covered her mouth with his own.

“It’s been way too long,” he said against her lips.

Her arms locked behind his head, she answered breathlessly, “Yes.”

“Spend the night tonight?”

“Sounds good, I have to pick up Lucy anyway.”

“I’m going to make love to you all night long.”

Ella’s body throbbed in anticipation. “I hope I can get through work today.”

“I’ll see you tonight.”

She got into her jeep and pulled away, watching him in her rearview mirror.

After all that had transpired in the last twenty-four hours it seemed surreal to be returning to work. She felt like she had been forever changed. All she knew for sure was that everyone was home and safe. Thank God!

When Ella entered the house, she followed the faint notes of piano music and found Kyle bent over the keyboard, forehead creased in concentration. He was shirtless and barefoot, sitting in a pair of cut off blue jean shorts. His hair had grown out slightly, which brought out the natural curl. A dark lock fell across his forehead, begging to be brushed away from his brow. Engrossed in the song, she was able to observe him unnoticed.

Her heart ached; she loved this man so much. Perfection. His strong tanned back and broad shoulders, the muscles of his forearms sinewy and pronounced as his fingers slipped across the keys, made her hot with desire. Like everything, he did nothing half-way. He was an accomplished pianist and every chord he played was filled with passion.

He saw Ella standing there and his eyes lit up. He segued into another song and the opening notes from Rhianna’s hitStay, floated and hung in the air like a kiss. Then he began to sing in that sexy warm tone of his and her legs suddenly felt wobbly. She moved to stand behind him, lightly resting her hands on his bare shoulders. His words caressed her… “Makes me feel like I can’t live without you…I’m the one who needed saving…I want you to stay…”

When he had laid down the last note, she slid her hands from his shoulders down the front of his hard chest and kissed his neck. The emotion still lingered in the air. Ella felt like Kyle had just made love to her. He stood and took her hand in his and without a word, he led her down the corridor, up the imposing spiral staircase and into his bedroom suite.

His cobalt eyes burned with intensity as he studied her, almost as if trying to burn her image into his memory. She felt consumed by him. Tracing his sculpted lips with her fingertip, she trailed it all the way down to his navel, only stopping when she reached the waist of his jeans. She unbuttoned them, then unzipping his pants, pulled them down around his ankles. He stepped out of his shorts and she proceeded to back him up until his knees hit the club chair. She gave him a little push and he plopped back into the soft cushion.

Kyle watched as Ella tugged off her own tee-shirt and threw it aside. The bra followed. She pulled her pants off then the lacey panties. Kyle’s eyes were glazed as he stared at her sexy dark mound of hair and her beautiful breasts.

Ella kept eye contact with Kyle as she kneeled on the rug in front of him. As she tugged at his boxers, he lifted his hips so she could pull them off, leaving his glorious erection exposed. She stroked his strong thighs, enjoying the sensuous feel of his soft hair against her sensitive palms.

She kissed and licked the tender skin of his inner thighs then her tongue teased him until he was writhing. Kyle groaned and spread his legs wider. Cupping him in one hand then wrapping her fingers around the base of his shaft, she took him into her mouth as she glanced up at him through her lashes. His head was thrown back, eyes squeezed shut, and his hands tightly gripped the armchair. It made her wet and crazy with desire to see him aroused.

She massaged as she let her lips and tongue move up and down his shaft. Kyle panted, close to losing control, his pelvis thrusting as his passion rose to an unbearable level. He pulled her up onto his lap, kissing her wildly as he climaxed.

As Kyle shuddered and jerked in the throes of his orgasm, she rubbed her sweet spot against him, moving faster and faster until she was on the precipice of her own release. Kyle reached up to grope her breasts, squeezing as he rolled her nipples between his fingers. She rubbed against him, frenzied now as he tugged and teased. She arched her torso, throwing her head back, as she bucked wildly. Ella trembled, vibrating as she surged toward release. She cried out and shuddered, leaning forward to lay against Kyle’s chest as he held her tightly against him.

Kyle would never get enough of his temptress. Her soft body lying on top of him, a perfect fit, her erect nipples pressing into his chest, her wild mane of hair tickling his neck and shoulder, their hot sweat mingling, he wanted to stay like this forever. Kissing her temple, he whispered the bars of a line, “Something in the way you move...”

Ella smiled against his chest, nipping him with her teeth. His hands were now splayed cupping her buttocks in his palms. When she bit him again, a little harder this time, he playfully swatted her behind.

“I’m hungry,” she said.

“So am I,” he said, his eyes burning leaving no doubt he wasn’t talking about food.

“I mean it. I didn’t eat any supper. I wanted to get here faster. By the way, I owe Richard big time for watching my pup today. We should get them out of their crates and take them outside.”

“I let them out right before you got here but you’re right. We’ll move their crate into our bedroom tonight. They can sleep together.”

“Lucy may not agree to that.”

“Yeah, I don’t think Charlie will be too thrilled about it either. He usually sleeps with Finn, but they’ll adjust for one night.”
