Page 93 of Essence of his Soul

“Why do you want me so badly? Why do you even care?”

“Because I love you. Damn it, Essence. I love you.”

She blinked, staring at me, shocked. “What did you just say?”

“I said I love you. I’ve just been too stupid to admit it.”

Her arms wrapped around my neck, her lips brushing against mine as she whispered, “Do you know how long I’ve waited to hear that? I love you, Mark. I always have.”

I lifted her into my arms again, carrying her to the bedroom. Nothing else mattered. It was just us now, and I wasn’t letting her go.

As soon as the door clicked shut behind me, Essence was already sliding the dress off her shoulders, letting it fall to the floor. I dragged in a sharp breath, and she heard my reaction. I saw her body language shift, striking that pose like she knew exactly what she was doing to me. “You see something you like?”

I was staring at her, eyes glued, taking her in, standing there in nothing but a thong and high heels. My eyes traveled up her long legs and stopped to linger at her belly button before rolling up to salivate at her breasts.

“Yes, I like everything I see.”

Essence bit her bottom lip. That looked so sexy. I closed the distance and took her into my arms.

My mouth covered hers, demanding and possessive. Then my tongue was dancing while my hands were skimming down to my legs, tracing along the edge of her panties, right there in the crease of her thighs. “Mine,” I growled as my hand moved to caress her ass before slipping under the elastic. She felt so good I could barely think straight. I was supposed to be in charge, but somehow, Essence was in control. I teased and squeezed her ass before my hand traveled lower and caressed her sweet folds. Essence trembled beneath my touch, and her arms draped over my shoulders were the only thing keeping her from falling. My tongue was wet and wild, and my fingers fast and furious. The intensity was too much and not enough at the same time. The feel, the taste. She was so delicious.

Essence was so sexy, and her body was soft and warm that I felt like I was in a trance. Not that I was complaining. I liked it. I liked it a lot. I enjoyed it so much I wanted more. My fingers slid along the elastic of her panties again, this time hooking into the corner, and then yanked hard, ripping the fabric.

“I’ll buy you a new pair,” I whispered. Moving fast again, I pulled her panties away and discarded them on the floor. “Let me look at you.” I took a step back. The sight of her body causedmy dick to jerk in my briefs. She was gorgeous! My eyes followed the curves of her hips to the patch of brown curls. Damn, she was so delicious I was ready to speed through the foreplay, bend her over the bed and slip inside of her. “You’re so beautiful.”

“All yours for your sexual pleasure,” she cooed, eyes dark with lust.

I took her hands and pinned her back against the wall. “You sure know how to make a man beg. The smell of you is driving me crazy,” I growled.

The next kiss started off fast and demanding. I wasted no time slipping my tongue inside. “You’re mine,” I murmured against her lips.

Locking my hands behind her back, I dragged her closer until we were pressed together, and my tongue went deeper into her mouth.

Essence whispered, “I want you.”

I jerked out of the tuxedo jacket, unbuttoned my shirt, tossed it away, and discarded everything else. In record time, I was back, standing in front of her. I cupped her ass, drawing her against me before my mouth traveled downward to her nipples, then sucked one into my mouth.

“Mark!” Essence cried while my tongue circled her nipple. “Please …”

“Please, what?” I grazed the peak with my teeth. “Do you want me to stop?” I trailed my hand down across her abdomen and then toward her core.

Her head rolled back when she felt my fingers caress her clit. “No, don’t stop.” Essence bit her lip and then moaned again.

“You like that?” I asked as I parted her folds and delved deeper.

She whimpered in response. The sound was arousing, sending heat racing in every direction. I dropped to my knees. Essence’s eyes fluttered open.

“What are you doing?” she asked, staring down at me.

“I’m about to make you feel good.”

His voice held a hint of a promise.

Tremors ripped over me while Mark licked a path up my thighs. Looking down, I began trembling when I noticed he was staring up at me.

“You smell so good,” he moaned.
