Page 61 of Until You

“That’s easy to remember since I’m also on the fifth floor.” She pushed the button and pressed her back against the wall while he stood in the middle. “So you can’t touch me, right?” she asked. “ButI can touch you?”

“Lanie,” he said under his breath.

She moved in front of him and put a hand on his hip, then slid it toward his groin, cupping him in her hand.

“Lanie,” he growled through gritted teeth. “If you keep this up, I’m going to pull up your dress and take you right here in the elevator.”

She reached up on her tiptoes and brushed her mouth against the side of his neck. “You’re full of promises.”

His erection throbbed even more, straining against his briefs, and all he could think about was burying himself inside her again. He pushed her against the wall and grabbed her leg, lifting it to his hip as he pressed himself to her core. She moaned into his mouth, and he was vaguely aware that the elevator door had opened.

He dropped her leg and took a step backward, bringing her with him. But her heel caught in the hem of her bridesmaid dress, and she stumbled. He bent and scooped her into his arms and carried her into the hall.

She wrapped an arm around his neck then said, “My shoe!”

“That damn thing is possessed. Leave it.” Then he kissed her as he took several steps toward his apartment. It was only fifteen feet down the hall, but it felt like fifteen miles.

He stopped in front of his door and lowered her to the floor, still keeping his hand around her back while he fished his keys out of his pocket.

Get the door open.

He reluctantly dragged his lips from her and took a breath as he inserted his key into the lock.

“Britt is going to kill me if I lose that shoe,” she protested.

“If you’re still thinking about that shoe, then I’m neglecting my duties.” He pushed the door open. “I’ll buy you a new pair, Killer.”

“You’ll buy me an entire new wardrobe before this is over.”

“Or keep you naked in my bed.” Covering his mouth with hers, he dragged her across the threshold and slammed the door behind them. But thoughts of her naked in his bed only made him more impatient. He grabbed her zipper and tugged it down her back.

“It’s a good thing you had your key,” she said, pushing off his jacket and letting it drop to the floor. “I don’t possess the badass skills you do.”

He grinned. “Don’t underestimate your own badass skills.” He pulled her toward the bedroom, leaving her dress and remaining shoe on the floor.

She worked on the buttons of his shirt while he continued to lead her down the hall. By the time he reached his room, his buttons were free and she slid her hands inside his shirt, running them over his chest before moving to his pants. She made quick work of his button and zipper, then took a half-step back, her hands on his hips.

Her hooded eyes stared up at him, and he ached to be inside her. He started to pull her down on the bed, but she smiled at him as she pushed his pants over his hips and to the floor. When she dropped to her knees, he sucked in a breath of anticipation.

She slowly tugged down his briefs while she licked his tip. His blood rushed to his erection and he sunk his hands into her hair as she took him in her mouth.

“God, Lanie,” he groaned, pushing deeper into her mouth.

Her hand cupped his balls, squeezing gently as she licked and sucked until he was so close to the edge, he barely pulled her away in time. He lifted her to her feet, unhooked her bra, and pulled off her panties before he pushed her down on the bed sideways, covering her with his body an instant later.

She wrapped her leg around his waist and lifted her hips as she sunk her fingers into his hair and held him against her mouth.

He needed to slow down or he wouldn’t last more than a minute.

Pushing up on his hands, her stared down at her, taking in the sight of her swollen lips, then lowered his gaze to her hard nipples and her bare mound. “You’re so fucking beautiful,” he growled before he took one of her nipples in his mouth.

She arched her back and gasped.

He shifted his weight to his elbow and reached between her parted legs, sliding his fingers into her wet folds.

Lanie gasped again, and lifted her hips as she released a soft whimper.

His tongue trailed across her cleavage to her other breast, circling her nipple with his tongue before he sucked it into his mouth.
