Page 84 of Breaking the Ice

She could sure as hell show him.

Tiptoeing over to the bed she leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on Nick’s neck watching as a slow smile warmed his face and glowed in her chest. She dropped another kiss just near his ear lobe. “Wakey, wakey,” she whispered.

“Samantha,” he murmured.

It was all low and sleepy but somehow possessive all at once and it made her sad knowing that their time together would soon be coming to an end.

He slowly extricated himself from Thomas, and Samantha smiled at him as she led him out of the spare room all the way into his room before turning and reaching for him, meeting his mouth with a carnal intensity. His fingers furrowed into her hair, his groan ballooning around them as she reached for his shirt and pulled it up over his head, breaking their lip-lock.

Lordy… Nick’s chest should be bronzed and mounted in a museum somewhere.

Placing her palm on his sternum, she pushed him down on the bed, his nostrils flaring as he raised an eyebrow. “We seem to be breaking a lot of the rules,” he said huskily.

“Screw the rules.”

He smiled but still, he hesitated. Clearly, he wanted her to be sure. “We don’t have to do this, Sam. I’m fine with doing what we’ve been doing.”

Fine, but she sure as hell wasn’t. Not anymore. “I don’t know about you, but I’m going to blow a blood vessel in my brain if we don’t move this along.”

He laughed. “My blood pressure has been a little high.”

And she had the cure for that.

Samantha wasn’t sure if it was nerves or anticipation that had her fingers all a-tremble as she started to undo the buttons on her blouse, but it made the task longer than she’d have liked.

“Hang on,” he said, raising onto his elbows. “I’ll get the light.”

“No.” She placed a hand on his bare chest and pushed him back down. “I want it on.”

Well, that wasn’t actually the truth. She desperately wanted the cover of darkness, but she was taking a leap of faith here and it was the only way she could think to demonstrate her love without actually saying it.

Getting naked in front of a man with the lights on was the ultimateI love you.

“You don’t have to do this, Samantha.”

“I want to,” she murmured, suddenly very sure. Nick had assured her many times she was beautiful. Maybe it was time she believed him?

Her shirt slid from her shoulders to the floor, revealing her pink lacy bra. Levering up to his elbows again, his nostrils flared as he stared at her like he wanted to tear it off with his teeth which emboldened her to reach for the zipper on her skirt. It, too, slid to the floor with a rustle to reveal matching lacy pink underwear.

He hissed out a breath which said more than any words. As did his dilated pupils, the bulge in his jeans and the raspy sound of his breathing.

The fact thatshewas doing it to him spurred her on.

Reaching behind, she unsnapped her bra and threw it away. His sharp intake of breath gave her the confidence to step out of her pink lace panties until she was standing completely naked in front of him. The familiar urge to cover herself up was strong but it was fading by the second as Nick’s appreciative gaze lingered on every part of her body.

“Fuck,” he whispered as his gaze slowly devoured her every inch.

“You like?” Yes, she was fishing for compliments, but she needed to hear it anyway, because it wasn’t just her body she was baring right now, it was her soul, too.

Their eyes met and he held her gaze unflinchingly. “You areglorious.” He crooked his finger. “Come here.”

Her pulse thrumming through every cell, Samantha covered the short distance between them, going straight into his arms. He nuzzled her neck as he held her tight.

Dear God, she loved him so much.

And then there was no stopping them. Days of heavy petting had primed them for this moment and Samantha rushed at it like a bull at a gate but Nick didn’t seem to care, letting her take the lead, barely getting a condom on before she straddled him, taking him inside her, sinking all the way down on a moan that felt as if it had come from the depths of the earth.

After that, it took barely any time to reach the peak, riding him all the way there as Nick touched her in the right spot at the right time to shatter her into a million pieces, the orgasm eclipsing every other sexual experience of her life. And just when she thought she was done, he flipped her onto her back, driving into her, reigniting the climax, pushing it higher and higher until he found his own release and they fell over the edge together.
