Even better, she seemed to have the same effect on him. When he finally parked in front of her cottage and came around to open her door, he swept her up in his brawny arms as soon as she emerged from the Jeep.
Then he carried her into her cottage and kicked the door shut behind them with a satisfying slam. He didn’t stop moving until they reached her bedroom.
He threw her onto the bed and straddled her, his legs tightening on either side of her hips. Her fingers scratched through his short hair as his mouth descended on hers.
Nick’s hands moved under her coat and pushed it off her shoulders before tossing it onto the carpet next to the bed. He grabbed the bottom of her long-sleeved work shirt and broke their kiss just long enough to pull her top over her head. Her bra followed her shirt to the floor, leaving her bare to the waist.
Winnie fumbled at his belt, unfastening it before pulling down the zipper of his jeans. The rest of his clothes soon joined hers on the floor.
Then he sat on the edge of the mattress and lifted her onto his lap. His erection pressed eagerly against her belly as she straddled him. He kissed his way down her neck and over her breasts. As he tongued her sensitive nipples in the way she loved, she ground herself against his hard cock, relishing his rough gasps and growls.
His fingers dug into her hips with bruising strength as she reached between them and wrapped her fingers around his length. She caressed his shaft, glorying in his heat and silky skin over steely hardness, and pressed her lips against his.
Then she raised herself up on her knees, wriggled forward, and sank down on his erection. Winnie threw back her head as he filled her.
“Yessss.” She drew out the word in satisfaction.
Nick released a deep, hungry moan as she took him deep. His fingertips skimmed the tops of her thighs before dipping to stroke her bud, pulled taut against his girth.
“Oh, God, Nick!” Her short nails raked over his shoulders and down his back as pleasure shuddered through her. “You make me feel so good. How do you do it?”
“Unlike your dickweed ex, I pay attention,” Nick murmured.
He closed his eyes and groaned low in his throat as Winnie started raising and lowering herself on him. His hands found her waist and cradled her, letting her take everything she needed.
“I hope you’re enjoying this,” he said on a shuddering breath.
“Every second,” she assured him, angling herself so that every long slide of his cock caressed her in all the right ways.
A long time later, when they were both lying curled around each other, sweaty and satisfied, Nick kissed the back of her neck.
“Mm,” she said, filled with golden contentment. Every time she and Nick had sex, it kept getting better.
“Let’s stop fooling ourselves, Winnie,” he murmured into her hair. “We’re friends, but we’re a whole lot more, too.”
He tensed against her, as if bracing himself for an argument.
Nope, no argument here, she thought, and snuggled back against him. “I’ve been thinking the same thing.”
“Really?” Nick sounded surprised.
“Mm-hm,” Winnie assured him. “You’re mine, and I’m yours.”
The breath whooshed out him, caressing her skin. “Is that why you asked me out to dinner, just before your dickweed ex turned up?”
So, hehadnoticed something was up while they were alone inside the old Beckman house? “I’ve been thinking about us and this, uh, thing we have going. It doesn’t feel like just friends with benefits anymore,” she confessed.
“I agree,” he rumbled. “And I’ve been thinking about us, too. And wanting to change the status quo.”
Well, that made her feel even more warm and tingly inside. She grinned into the warm darkness of her bedroom. “So… does that mean you wanna go steady with me, Nicholas Evans?” she teased.
“What is this? High school?” He chuckled and rolled her onto her back so that he could kiss her. “But, hell, yeah,” he continued, when he’d reawakened her desire with his lips and tongue. “You’remygirlfriend now, and don’t you forget it, Winnie Snowberry.”
