Chapter Ten
Kate’s statement made Ric’s blood pump harder through his veins and her roving hand was driving him crazy. His jeans were getting tighter by the second.
“The only thing I want to watch in bed is you,” he confessed. “Can that be arranged?”
“I think it can. Let me just get rid of all this so that the dogs don’t eat it and I’ll be right back,” Kate said, rising.
When she left the room, Ric took out a roll of breath mints and popped one in his mouth. He didn’t want to kiss her with dog treat and beer breath. Crunching up the mint, he reached down and patted Daisy’s head. She licked his hand and thumped her tail. The other dogs came to be petted, too, now that the drama was over and Ric played with all of them until Kate returned. She ushered the dogs into the big room attached to the laundry, which held their beds and gave them access to the yard. The laundry door locked like a back door, leaving the room she’d had built on with the ability to have a stable door, the bottom half open, for Daisy and the other dogs to get into the quarter acre yard to do their business.
She gave him his crutches and he stood up.
“Follow me,” Kate said.
“Right behind your sweet behind, honey,” he said.
Kate smiled and led the way to the stairs. Ric’s strength made it easy to hop his way up to the second floor. It was as nice as the rest of the house. The hallway was lined with all kinds of pictures, which Ric assumed were family and friends. At the end of the hallway, Kate opened a set of double doors into the master bedroom.
It had a cozy atmosphere with more earth tones and warm colors. He didn’t notice more than that because Kate was turning down the bed. His attention centered on her as she came back to him. Her dark hair gleamed in the low light of the one lamp she’d turned on and her eyes glowed with desire.
Just thinking about what awaited him under her clothes made Ric harder and he was glad that he’d picked up some jeans with a more relaxed fit to accommodate his cast. They accommodated his raging hard-on, too.
“Why don’t you come over here and get comfortable?” She patted the bed.
“Okay.” He complied and pulled her down beside him. “You are so beautiful, Kate. I’ve been thinking about this since last week.”
“Me, too,” she said as he cupped her cheek. “I want you, Ric.”
“I want you, too. I want to touch you, kiss you everywhere.”
Ric took her lips in a kiss filled with raw hunger, delving his tongue into her mouth to tease hers. Closing his arms around her, he ignored the painful dog bite as she embraced him and kissed him back. She tasted so good and felt so right in his arms and he forced himself to slow down.
He wanted to savor Kate this time and give her as much pleasure as possible. She played with his hair and goosebumps broke out over his back. Carefully so he didn’t hit her with his cast, he laid her back and continued kissing her. He slowly caressed her toned midriff over her stomach and brought his hand up to cup one of her breasts.
She moaned into his mouth and kissed him harder. Her nipple grew tight under his palm and he brushed his thumb over it through her T-shirt. The little whimper in the back of her throat sent his body temperature soaring. Grasping the bottom hem of her shirt, he pulled it up and over her head.
The red satin bra she wore was the perfect complement for her creamy skin. His mouth left hers to trail kisses along her jaw to her throat. Kate gasped when he bit her and he chuckled against her skin. He released the front clasp of her bra and parted it.
“God, Kate, you have the most beautiful breasts I’ve ever seen,” he told her. “They’re perfect.”
She smiled. “I doubt that, but I’m glad you like them.”
Kneading one, he said, “I love them. I could play with them for hours.”
“I don’t think I could take waiting for hours, Ric. God that feels so good.”
Ric leaned over and took the nipple of the one he wasn’t playing with in his mouth, running his tongue around the stiff peak. Kate moved restlessly, her breathing coming quicker. He groaned as he lightly pinched her nipple and her back arched.
Searing heat shot to his groin over her restless movements and Ric desperately needed to get rid of his jeans. Reluctantly removing his hands and mouth from her body, Ric rolled until he was on his back so he could undo his jeans.
Kate rolled over to him and brushed his hands away. “Allow me to do the honors.”
He smiled and put his arms behind his head. “Yes, ma’am.”
Watching her unfasten and unzip them excited him even more. She urged him to lift his hips and drew his jeans down over his legs. Careful of his cast, she removed them and let them drop to the floor.
Ric growled when she ran her hand over the bulge in his black boxer-briefs. Raising his head, he watched her pull them down, freeing his hard cock. She ran the tip of her tongue up the underside of his shaft to the tip and Ric moaned low in his chest as pleasure traveled along his nerve endings.
When she took him in her pretty mouth, he couldn’t hold still. He made little thrusts as she swirled her tongue around him.
