Page 93 of Colton's Last Resort

He took the furry coverlet. Anticipation high, she untied the knot.

She wished she could see him better, but the moon was behind him. Knowing it bathed her, she parted the silk and let it slip from her shoulders.

She heard his breath tear out of him. Trailing her fingers over the low-cut neckline and transparent lace, she followed the cascade of silk to her navel. “What do you think?”

“I knew you’d drive me wild.”

Intrigued, she planted the heel of her hand against the granite slab of his chest. “You feel okay to me.”

“Laura, I—”

She bit her lip when he stopped. “Yes?” she breathed, wanting to hear exactly what he’d censored himself from saying. She waited long enough that she shivered.

“You are cold,” he confirmed. He swung the blanket around her shoulders. “Let’s go back to the house.”

“No.” With her hand still on his chest, she backed him up to the large chaise underneath a collapsed red umbrella.

He went down hard, grunting. She knelt on the thick cushion. It was cold, too.

They’d warm it, she knew.

She felt his hands close around the blanket on her shoulders. Using it, he brought her against the heat of his chest and rolled her beneath him.

She did taste the wine on his tongue. She tasted herself there, too, as she lay beneath him, shivering not from the cold anymore but the storm of worshipping open-mouthed kisses. They started somewhere around her instep and spread to the back of her knee, up the inside of her thigh, between them where he lingered, using lips, tongue and beard to push her over the edge. Then his kisses continued over her hips, navel, breasts, to the bridge of her collarbone where he found the pearl. He sipped the delicate ridge of her jaw, and at last took her mouth.

She’d brought him here to seduce him. The thick fur blanket lay heavy over their tangled forms as he joined with her. Long, deep strokes built fresh waves of sensation. The cold didn’t penetrate the lovely languid haze of his loving, and she knew she was the one who had been completely, utterly seduced.

“Look at me.”

Her eyes had rolled back into her head. She made her lashes lift.

His face was half shadow, half light. His hips rocked against hers in an unbroken rhythm and she found she had swallowed the fire. It burned so good, she wanted to bathe in it.

His mouth parted hers. His eyes remained fixed. “Again,” he breathed into her.

She shook her head slightly even as the next climax gathered steam. His hand was between them, coaxing her at the point where their bodies met. She was trembling all over, a string about to break even as his touch made her pliant and soft for him.

His chin bobbed in a listless nod. “Do it,” he bade, need bearing the words through his teeth.

She didn’t have it in her to shy away. And she realized she’d thrown caution with him to the wind days ago. She burned, feeling like a phoenix as she let the firestorm take her. All of her.

He groaned, long, low, satisfied. “That’s right,” he whispered and added, “Stay with me,” when she pooled beneath him. “Stay with me,” he said again, quickening.

The base of his erection pitched against the bed of nerves at her center, and she dropped the crown of her head back, gasping at the assault of unending pleasure. He had to stop. She was going to catch fire.

No one... No one had ever brought her this close to blind rapture. No one had made her bare her soul like this before.

“Noah.”

His response hummed across her lips as his brows came together.

Ardor painted his face, and she moaned. “I’m yours.”

He swore. The word blew through the night as he buried himself to the hilt. His body locked, arcing like a current, and he slammed his eyes closed, suspended in the rush.

When his muscles released, he made a noise like a man drowning. She raised her hands to him, stroking as his lungs whistled through several respirations and his heart knocked like a ram against hers. Lifting her legs, she crossed her ankles at the small of his back and dragged his mouth back to hers, not ready to give up the link.

“I’m crushing you,” he said when he caught his breath at last.
