Page 45 of Always Be True: Tino
This time they both knew he was talking about her. He desperately needed to get skin to skin with this woman. When his shirt joined hers on the floor across the room, Natalie purred and leaned in close enough that the tips of her breasts brushed across his chest. Even through the lace of her bra he could feel the way her nipples had beaded up, ready for his touch. Or, better yet, his mouth.
He splayed his fingers along the fine bones of her rib cage and lifted her close enough that he could nuzzle that seductive valley between her surprisingly full breasts. With a flick of his tongue, he savored the flavor of her skin and the sound she made when something he did pleased her. Natalie moaned as he suckled first one breast and then the other, using his tongue and teeth to drive them both crazy.
Within seconds, even the thin layer of lace between them was too much. He supported her with one arm as he used his other hand to release the clasp on her bra. She was right there with him, sliding the straps off her shoulders to reveal the peaches-and-cream beauty beneath.
“God, Natalie.” He palmed both breasts and dragged his gaze up to meet hers. “So damn beautiful, like the rest of you.”
His comment clearly pleased her. “You sweet-talker. There’s only one problem—you’re talking, not doing.”
He laughed. “I guess I just got my marching orders.”
Without warning he surged to his feet, holding her high against his chest. The only question was whether they should head upstairs to her bedroom or take advantage of the plush rug on the floor in front of the fireplace. In the end, there was no contest. Why waste the energy it would take to muscle them both up all those steps when it could be put to a much better use right where they were?
He settled Natalie on the rug. “I’ll be right back.”
Without waiting for her to respond, he returned to the foyer where he’d hung his jacket. He pulled a handful of packets out of the inside pocket and headed right back to where a warm and willing woman waited for him.
When he returned to the living room, it was to discover Natalie had been busy during his short absence. The lamps at either end of the sofa had been turned off. In their place, the gas fireplace was alight, bathing both his woman and the room in a soft glow. The flickering shadows from its flames danced across Natalie’s skin as she waited for his return.
She’d also grabbed several of the toss pillows off the couch. Right now, she was lying on her stomach, her arms crossed on top of two of the cushions and her hair a golden waterfall tumbling down around her shoulders. The sight brought him to a screeching halt. Even in his hottest dreams, he’d never imagined such simple beauty. Her back was elegant, and those skinny jeans definitely showed off her backside to its best advantage. She’d also kicked off her boots, revealing her pretty feet. Damn.
“I saved you a spot.” She patted the pillow next to hers. “Why are you staying all the way over there?”
“I’m admiring the view and thinking about what all I’m going to do with you…to you when I finally get there.”
Her eyes lit with interest as her dimples made another appearance. He noticed she had another set right above the top of her jeans. And if he wasn’t mistaken, the very top edge of a tattoo was peeking out right between them.
He tossed the condoms on the floor within easy reach. As soon as he did, she rolled over onto her back, once again letting him look his fill. Maybe it would’ve been smarter to leave his jeans on for the moment, but right now they chafed against his skin as his hunger for her grew exponentially in intensity. It was time to join her on that rug and get the party started.
He toed off his shoes and stripped off his jeans, boxers, and socks in one fell swoop, basking in Natalie’s approval-laced smile. When she reached for the snap on her jeans, Tino knelt at her feet and brushed her fingers out of the way.
“Let me,” he murmured as he smiled and ran his hands up the inside of her calves to her thighs. Before reaching for the tab on her zipper, he moved up her body to kiss her breasts, licking and suckling each of them in turn until she kicked her head back on the pillow and arched her back off the rug. “Like that, do you?”
Without waiting for her to answer, he moved to the side and continued to lavish his attention on them while he finally unfastened the snap on her jeans and slowly worked the zipper down to make room for his hand to slide inside. Her curls were already damp and hot as he sought out the center of her hunger with his fingertips. It didn’t take long to bring her right to the edge, but he immediately backed off.
“Tino!” she complained.
“We’ll get there, but I don’t want to rush this. There’s only one first time for us, and I want it to be memorable.”
She tried to tug her jeans down as an enticement, but he captured her hands with one of his and held them prisoner. When she surrendered, he rewarded her with another long kiss before stripping off her jeans and the lacy panties underneath.
After releasing her hands, Tino positioned himself to do some exploring. In the soft light from the fire, he considered the sharp contrast between the gentle curves of her body and the hard planes of his own. So different and yet so perfect for each other. But where should he start? Finally, he kissed the pulse point at the base of her throat before nuzzling his way from the peak of one breast to the other and back again.
From there, he moved on down her body until he reached the center of her heat, which tasted both spicy and sweet at the same time. Natalie writhed under his ministrations, making him think maybe it was time to send her flying. Using his fingers and tongue, he took great pleasure in working his lady into a frenzy that had her screaming his name.
More than a little pleased with himself, he stretched out alongside her and propped his head up with his hand to look down at her flushed face. “Let me know when you’ve caught your breath and want to start round two.”
Natalie gave him a sultry look. “I’m ready now.”
In a quick move, she captured his erection in a tight grip and worked her hand down to the bottom of his shaft and then back up to the blunt tip. He closed his eyes and moaned as the waves of pleasure washed over him. Natalie laughed softly and intensified her efforts, making it clear which of them was now in the driver’s seat. He willingly surrendered, easing onto his back to offer her free rein.
The expression in her eyes took on a hungry look. “It’s my turn to have some fun.”
Then she put that sassy mouth to good use, damn near killing him in the process. He needed to stop her before it was too late. He threaded his fingers through Natalie’s hair to hold her head still. “Honey, you’ve got to let me catch my breath before this gets completely out of hand.”
She glanced up at him with a siren’s smile. “If you’re sure that’s really what you want.”
Hell, no, that’s not what he wanted, but it was necessary. He fumbled around to snag one of the condoms, knowing he had seconds at best before he’d lose control and take her any way he could. With that done, he studied his companion. “Nat, I want you so damn bad. When you thought of this moment, how did you see it playing out? Tell me what you want, and I’ll do my best to make it happen.”
