With my heart skipping beats and my pulse quickening, I was way too lightheaded.
He growled into the kiss the same time I moaned, which he captured expertly. By the time he broke the kiss, stars were floating in front of my eyes from lack of oxygen.
With his breathing labored, he grazed his teeth from one side of my jaw to the other.
I was trembling in his hold, captivated by the way he could still command my body. When he nipped my earlobe, I shuddered audibly.
But something reminded me that this just couldn’t happen.
So I pushed him away again.
He playfully stumbled backward, his grin widening. He did me one better, moving forward and lifting me as if I weighed nothing, tossing me directly into the center of the bed.
He was certainly strong, but I was quick. I jumped off the bed, fighting the laughter that was threatening to give away how I really felt. I hadn’t been this free for a long time. Maybe I needed a release. Was this forever? Of course it wasn’t. The playfulness wasn’t even the start of anything.
With another guttural sound, he snagged my arm, this time pushing me against the wall with a hard thud.
Gasping, I cocked my head, punching him lightly under the jaw. He did nothing but place his hands on either side of me, cocking that handsome head of his as if daring me to do something.
So I did.
I scooted underneath his arm, but the huge man fisted my hair, dragging me back. This time when he pushed me against the wall, I didn’t have the desire to run. With my breathing labored, I tilted my head back.
Stone exhaled. “Mmm… Mmm… Mmm… Still as feisty as you used to be.”
“More.”
“Well, all feisty women need to be tamed.” He ripped off my shirt, pitching it aside. The man was hungry, immediately cupping both breasts.
I didn’t dare stop him.
Besides, I was tingling all over, vibrations dancing down to my toes. Panting, as he lowered his head, immediately sucking onmy nipple, I drifted away into a moment of bliss. He wasn’t gentle, certainly not like our first time, pinching my other bud between his fingers.
The blast of pain was an aphrodisiac, the intense throbbing creating a fire between my legs. Every sound like some raging, wild animal, he rubbed his lips to my other nipple, sucking and biting.
I tugged at his shirt, trying desperately to feel his skin. He tossed my hands away and crawled his fingers to the drawstring, yanking with enough force he jerked me from the wall.
Within seconds, the man had me standing in front of him in all my glory. I gasped and half laughed, no longer able to fight him or my desire, or able to find any words.
Nothing at all.
He continued sucking on my nipple while he nudged my legs apart with his knee. I tossed my arms over my head, still quivering and my stomach full of butterflies. I wasn’t the same young girl. I was all woman and for a few seconds, I was terrified I’d changed too much.
As he pulled back, returning to his full height, he shook his head slowly while he whistled. “Holy shit, Dani. You’re fucking so goddamned beautiful I don’t know what to say. Maybe that’s not the right thing, but…”
I placed my finger across his lips. “Shush. That was the perfect thing to say.”
He narrowed his eyes and rubbed his hands down my sides, rolling one between my thighs. “Are you wet for me, Dani? Did you ever think about me when you were in bed at night?”
“Maybe a few times.”
His grin was knowing and he cupped my mound. I was so nervous I was ticklish and rose onto my toes.
As he slipped a single finger inside, I whimpered softly. I couldn’t remember how long it had been since I’d enjoyed having a man touch me.
“God, you’re so wet, Dani. So very wet.” He slowly dropped to his knees and immediately brushed his palms along the insides of my legs.
I bit back a cry, fearful Kage and Maddox would rush in to see if something horrible had happened. He blew across my stomach before darting his tongue around my belly button.
