The intense light in his eyes made her feel like he was looking into her soul, and she knew she had to decide. Could she, Lexie wondered? Was it possible for her to continue a relationship with Kade when she didn’t reciprocate his feelings? Meeting his gaze, she felt her heart take a step closer to the edge and accepted his terms.
Her mind made up, Lexie ran her hands over his shoulders, loving the firm muscles under her palms. “I’m not going anywhere.”
His sexy grin flashed. “Glad to hear it. Now, I think it’s time for me to assist you like you asked me to. I want to see that delectable little body, run my hands all over you, and taste you—everywhere.”
Lexie felt weak at just the thought of it, and she almost yelled at Kade to hurry. He put pressure on the towels, and they gave way, no match for his strength. Her nipples tightened as his knuckle skimmed down her torso. He kept going until he reached the point just above her mound. His gaze collided with hers, and again he lifted a questioning eyebrow. She couldn’t say why, but she found his eyebrows fascinating. Maybe it was because they added to his expressive eyes, or maybe it was the way they enhanced their beauty.
She nodded her assent and then gasped when he rent the paper towels the rest of the way. They fell to the floor with only a whisper of sound, and Lexie felt a little vulnerable as she stood naked before Kade.
“Holy shit, Lex.”
It amazed Lexie that this man who’d written a gazillion words in his lifetime could still say so much with so few. His gaze raked over her, traveling upwards until he reached her eyes.
“You’re even hotter than I ever imagined you’d be.” He wrapped one arm around her and slid his other hand down her side and around to squeeze her butt cheek. “I’ve never seen a finer ass. It used to drive me crazy whenever you wore a bikini.”
Lexie giggled as he spun her around, and she realized they were in Kade’s room. It was bright and airy with large windows. Sheer curtains provided privacy but allowed plenty of light and fresh air into the room.
He pressed against her from behind, still exploring her rear end as he urged her towards his queen-size bed. As soon as her knees touched it, he ran his hands up her to cup her breasts. Lexie’s head fell back against his shoulder as he gently kneaded them. She couldn’t stand still when he started grazing his fingers over her taut nipples.
Hot need pooled between her thighs as he teased and caressed them. He kissed her shoulder and she shivered at the contact. She pressed her hands over his, inviting him to squeeze a little harder.
“You feel so good in my hands,” he murmured in her ear as he complied with her unspoken request. “Not too big, not too small, just perfect.”
Lexie smiled. “Sounds like Goldilocks and the Three Bears.”
“Well, the guy who wrote that sure knew what he was talking about.”
Kade bit her earlobe, and Lexie almost went to her knees as a jolt of pleasure shot straight to her core. “Oh god,” she moaned. He sucked on it, and Lexie thought she would lose her mind with excitement. She grabbed one of his hands and drew it down to the juncture between her thighs.
