Page 100 of His Ruthless Match
“Somebody’s eager,” she teased, biting her lower lip as she looked at me.
I took a half step back, admiring the way her skirt rode up her thighs. “You have no idea,” I managed, my voice rough and full of desire I could barely contain.
Her blouse buttons practically taunted me. I slowly undid each button, my gaze riveted to the slivers of skin that was revealed to me. She smelled like lavender and cinnamon. The aroma was intoxicating.
“Why do you smell so damn good?” I murmured, lowering my lips to her throat. She tipped her head back in silent permission. I kissed the hollow of her collarbone, loving the little shiver she gave.
“Secret formula,” she teased. “I’d tell you, but then I’d have to kill you.”
I huffed out a laugh, though the sound quickly shifted into a groan when she wrapped her legs around my hips and pulled me closer. The friction of her body against mine made my heart thunder. I was already rock-hard, and the way her skirt slid higher, inch by inch, threatened to annihilate the last scrap of my self-control.
After I finished unbuttoning her blouse, I tugged it off her shoulders. Eva grabbed the back of my head and practicallyshoved my face into her chest. I nearly lost it right there. A startled laugh bubbled in my throat as I buried my face against her soft skin, pressing kisses wherever I could.
“Well, okay then,” I said against her skin. She responded with a throaty laugh that reverberated through her. Then her hands were in my hair, massaging my scalp, driving me insane. Every sense was overwhelmed: the softness of her skin, the whisper of fabric being pushed aside, the faint taste of salt on her neck.
I was drunk on her, on the adrenaline of the night, on the memory of the danger we’d danced with while watching the movie, and now on the absolute relief of having her in my arms. She was half-naked on her kitchen counter, black skirt bunched around her hips, white blouse gone, feet bare because she must’ve kicked off her heels by the door. It was chaos, but the good kind. It reminded me that I was alive.
Somehow, in the midst of frenzied kisses, I managed to peel the skirt down. She wriggled her hips to help me and bit my lip in the process. drawing another growl from me. Before long, she was naked on the counter, her body illuminated by the subtle glow from the LED strip beneath the cabinetry. Her skin looked luminous, every curve inviting me closer.
I dropped to my knees, letting my hands slide along the outside of her thighs. She looked down at me with bright eyes, her lips parted. My heart hammered so fiercely, I thought she’d hear it. I pressed a kiss to her knee, then moved higher, tasting her skin. She inhaled sharply when I finally reached my destination. It was impossible to resist her. Every time I thought I’d found the limit of my desire, I discovered there was more, like a bottomless pit I’d happily fall into.
She murmured my name, her voice low and breathy. The sound made my entire body quake with need, but I forced myself to stay focused and give her all the attention she deserved. Herfingers tangled in my hair again, and she made these small, irresistible noises that had me bordering on delirium.
It felt like time slipped away. Nothing existed except the taste and feel of her, the quake in her thighs, and the way her breath hitched. I circled her clit with the tip of my tongue as I slipped two fingers inside her.
I changed my pace, pulling my fingers from her and dragging my tongue up and down her slit. Eva moaned and spread her legs wider. I slowly lapped my way back up to her clit and sucked gently.
Just when I thought she was going to explode, I flicked my tongue over her clit as I reached up and cupped one of her breasts.
She clenched her legs around me, moaning so loudly that I hoped to hell The Shadow and Vivian hadn’t decided to spend the night in their apartment across the hall because I was sure they would have heard that.
When she finally eased her grip on my head, her body was trembling with aftershocks. I stood, sliding my hands up her stomach until they circled her waist, pulling her close for another deep, languid kiss.
She hopped down and gave me a playful look as she glanced up at me with a playful smirk. Without warning, her hands went for my belt. She fumbled with the buckle, frustration and eagerness lighting her eyes. I tried to help, but she smacked my hand away, which I found unbelievably endearing.
“Don’t rush me,” she teased. “I’ve been waiting all day to get my hands on you properly.”
I swallowed hard, my pulse leaping. “Take all the time you need.”
She slid the belt out with a smooth, swift motion and tossed it away. Then she popped open the button of my pants and tugged down the zipper. I couldn’t tear my gaze away as she hooked herfingers in the waistband of my trousers and briefs and pulled them down. The cool air hit my skin, and I almost cursed from the intensity of relief and arousal all at once.
She slid her hands up my chest, under my shirt, and I helped her pull it off over my head. Then, dropping to her knees, she glanced up at me with an expression so full of mischief and desire that my breath caught in my throat.
“Eva…”
She pressed a finger to her lips, silencing me. Then she set to work, her hands braced on my hips. I tipped my head back as she took me into her mouth, and I sucked in a sharp breath. The combination of her lips, her tongue, her touch was almost too much. My vision blurred at the edges, and a dizzying wave of lust crashed through me.
I could only stand it for a few seconds before I reached down, gently coaxing her upward. My body shook with the effort it took not to lose myself completely. I cradled her face between my palms and brushed my lips over hers.
“Stand up,” I breathed. “I… I need you.”
She rose, sliding her hands along my sides. “Then take me.”
I wasted no time to scoop her into my arms. She let out a delighted laugh as she twined her arms around my neck. I carried her out of the kitchen, the path to her bedroom familiar enough by now that I didn’t need all my senses to find it. She placed fervent kisses on my jaw, and I had to grit my teeth to maintain focus.
I practically tossed her on the bed. She bounced slightly on the plush mattress, hair splaying out around her. The sight of her naked, flushed, breathing heavily, and staring at me with anticipation was enough to make my heart skip a beat.
I couldn’t resist a bit of playful bravado. With a grin, I took a few steps back, then did a running jump onto the bed beside her,making her laugh in surprise. She turned on her side, her giggles dissolving into a warm smile.
