“Good wow?”
“The very best wow,” he whispered, then devoured her mouth while lowering her back to the bed. Her legs parted and cradled his hips between them. Given their height difference, one might think things would be disproportionate and uncomfortable, but he fit her and she fit him. “I’ve wanted to have you like this for a very long time, but that day in the bakery when you fell into me? I didn’t want to let go.”
“I didn’t want you to let go.”
“How about I don’t let go this time?”
She lifted her head and gave him a hard, smacking kiss. Rand smiled and trailed his lips down her chin, over her jaw. He filed away every gasp, every breath. The vanilla and cinnamon taste of her skin.
Using his teeth, he lowered the cups of her bra, taking a moment to delight in the vision of her bared to his gaze. He made a mental note of each goosebump, of the way her nipples pebbled when he blew cool air across them, of the way her belly quivered beneath his fingers.
He worked her panties from her hips and thighs and chuckled when she kicked them off to some unknown part of the room. “Feisty elf.”
“Eager.”
“Then let’s not keep you waiting any longer, but damn, Blix… You’re beautiful. Sexy. And when you blush? It stains your entire body and highlights the sparkles in your cheeks and brightens your eyes until they’re practically glowing from within.” She blushed deeper, just the way he’d intended. It turned him on. More than he was prepared for. Knowing he had that kind of effect on her? It blew his mind.
Once more on his haunches, Rand divested himself of his shirt, after unbuttoning a couple of the top buttons enough that he could pull it over his head.
“Wow,” Blix gasped, reaching out to him. He leaned toward her and her hands drifted down his chest, her fingertips tracing the reindeer tattoo on his right pec.
“Good wow or bad wow?” He managed to get the words out even though his throat seemed constricted when she was barely touching him.
“Such a good wow. I never imagined I’d have the chance to be with you. Dreamed it, yes, but was never sure it would happen.”
He unfastened his jeans and shoved them down his hips to his knees until he could force them the rest of the way off. Then, he was on her, skin to skin, nothing between them.
The heat between her legs made him groan and if he could’ve gotten harder… God, but she was perfect. Pale skin, dark hair, glittering eyes.
She wrapped herself around him and coaxed him closer, inch by inch. His cock touched her wetness and he was lost. “Blix…”
It was all he said. It was all he could say.
He once again held her head between his hands and kissed her.
He slid deep in a single dive.
Eyes locked until he was all the way inside, then the breath they both held, let loose.
Blix moaned and wiggled beneath him, adjusting to his size. He pressed a kiss to her forehead. “I’m sorry. I should’ve gone slower, been more gentle.”
“No you shouldn’t have. I didn’t want slow or gentle. I’d have said so if I did.”
“Mmm. Then, if not that, what do you want?”
“You to take me like you won’t let go. Devour me like you seemed to devour the cookies I made for you.”
“Damn, little elf.”
“Make me tingle, Rand.”
“Always, Blix.” He lifted, pulled out of her, then drove back in, harder, quicker, stealing her breath. “Always.”
He held her, with gazes locked. He wouldn’t let her look away and didn’t want her to close her eyes. He wanted to see the expressions cross her face. He wanted to see what he did to her reflected back at him. He wanted to know that she felt everything he did and more.
She was tight and hot and gripped him as though she’d never let go. She urged him on with the lift and buck of her hips into him. Her short fingernails dug into his shoulders and down his arms.
She scratched him. She marked him.
