Page 27 of Just One More Temptation

His gaze darkened and he pulled her against him, treating her to a searing hot kiss. One she wouldn’t stop, nor would she hesitate again.

Tugging his shirt from his pants, she slid her hands up his warm abdomen. “I know what I want, Noah. And it’s you.”

Though Noah foundit hard to think with Fallon’s small hands on his body, he needed to be sure she hadn’t talked herself into something she wasn’t ready for.

He understood why she’d panicked earlier. Telling a woman who was skittish about relationships that he cared was akin to lighting a match in a dry forest. He’d seen her expression as panic took hold and there’d been nothing to do except watch her spiral.

“Trust me to know my own mind.” Her words penetrated his thoughts. “And let’s go back to before,” she said, rising onto her tiptoes and brushing her lips over his. “I felt how much you wanted me, and there was never any doubt I wanted you, too.” Her hands splayed over his ribs, her touch arousing. “The bedroom is that way.” She tilted her head and her hair fell over her shoulder as she waited for his answer.

As if there was anything other than yes. He lifted her into his arms, loving the little squeal of surprise she let out, and carried her into the bedroom.

She’d given him permission and he was ready to go. He lay her down on the bed and began to unbutton his shirt.

“Nope, let me.” She tucked her knees beneath her, sat up, and began to unbutton his shirt, letting her nails scrape along his chest as she worked her way down. And once she’d freed the buttons, she pulled his shirt off his shoulders and he dropped it onto the floor.

He glanced down to undo his pants and when he glanced up, she’d shimmied out of her skirt and was in the process of removing her light sweater, leaving herself in a sexy nude bra and barely-there bikini panties.

“Damn, sweetheart. I can’t believe I was able to wait so long for you.”

Her cheeks turned pink and she smiled, her brown-eyed gaze taking in his bare chest, and the prominent erection protruding from his black boxer briefs. “I’d have to say the same.”

Reaching out, he braced his hands on her hips, pulling her close. He lowered himself down so his face was parallel with her flat stomach and the lace panties he wanted off her.

But first… He leaned in and pressed a kiss on her belly. She shivered, grasping his shoulders for support. Working his way down, he left a wet trail down her abdomen until he reached the barrier of clothing. He hooked his thumbs into the sides and pulled the underwear down until it reached her mattress.

“Lay back,” he said, his tone gruff.

She raised her arms, and did that easy move women did, and unhooked her bra, letting it fall to the bed. Her breasts were more than a handful with dusky pert nipples that had his mouth watering. But he had another destination to taste first.

She maneuvered herself until she lay back, her legs spread so he could finish what he’d started. He rose to his feet, removed his boxer briefs, then put one knee on the bed. Before he yanked down her panties, he leaned in and took a deep breath, taking in the scent of her arousal. Knowing it was all for him was a heady feeling and he removed the last of her undergarments completely, letting them fall to the floor.

He stared at her naked body for the first time, reminded of her beauty and youth. She wasn’t a virgin, thank God, but she was definitely special and someone he wanted to take his time with and savor. Unfortunately, the throbbing of his cock wasn’t going to allow for the luxury.

Still, he bent her legs and settled between them, dipping his head for a long, leisurely taste. She moaned as he dove in, gripped his hair, and held on while he brought her to the peak once, lifting his head before she could come and starting over again. He took her to the edge twice more before latching onto her clit and sucking it into his mouth.

Her hips bucked and she tugged at his hair, stinging his scalp. This time he didn’t stop. She cried out his name, and he felt like a fucking god as she came and continued to climax, the shudders encompassing her entire body.

He soothed her with his tongue as she collapsed against the mattress and he eased his way up her sweat-sheened body, sealing his lips over hers.

She threaded her fingers through his hair, moaning into his mouth as she wrapped her legs around his waist. He ground his cock against her sex and slid his hands up her sides, capturing her hands above her head.

He’d had his share of partners before but he’d never felt like this about any woman he’d had in his bed. Even if this washerbed, the sentiment was the same.

He raised himself off her, meeting her dazed gaze. “So? Was it even better than the best kiss?”

She cupped his face between her hands. “I’ll judge after the grand finale.”

“I’ll take that challenge,” he said, and covered her mouth with his.

Noah kissed her,his hands wandering over her body, over her hips, and down her sides. Arousal eased through her, her nipples tightening under his touch. When he rose up, he met her gaze. “Protection,” he said in a gruff voice.

She bit down on her lower lip. “I’m on the pill and I haven’t been with anyone since my relationship last year. I was tested at my yearly exam,” she said, studying his face.

“Can’t remember the last time I had sex,” he admitted. “Between the girls and work, I don’t have much free time. I’m clean as well.”
