I felt him pulse inside me even more as I succumbed to my orgasm. Once again, he captured my mouth, drowning my sounds of pleasure and giving me his own too. We climaxed hard, a roaring sound reverberating from his chest and through his body. We both thrust and undulated our hips until we were spent.
When I blinked my eyes open, I looked at him lazily, taking in those sexy muscles. Pushing myself to one side, I propped my head on my hand, glancing from his shoulder down to his ass, then back up. He attempted to come closer, but I scooted even farther back.
“What are you doing?” he asked.
“Adding some distance. It’s the only way I can take in this holy hotness.”
He threw his head back, laughing and revealing his neck. I took advantage of the fact that he was unprepared and leaned forward, kissing his Adam’s apple before retreating to my original position. He straightened up, looking at me with a playful twinkle in his eyes. I liked seeing him like this, completely relaxed with a huge smile on his face.
“Last time you had me here in your shirt, and now I’m naked. You have a strange power over me, Mr. Maxwell.”
The playfulness in his eyes turned to scorching-hot intensity as he came closer, and this time I didn’t pull back. He put an arm around my waist, pulling me flush against him. “Next time,I’m going to do even more,” he said in a delicious voice full of promise.
My heart somersaulted.Next time. There’s going to be a next time.I swallowed hard, trailing my fingers from his shoulder down to his arm. “I should go. It’s late.”
“Lexi, whatever this is, I don’t want to end it.” He brought his hand to my jaw, cupping it and tilting my head so I was looking straight at him. He trapped my gaze with his.
My heart was beating faster. “Well, when you get all bossy,” I whispered playfully, “how can I not agree with you? I don’t want it to end either. “
I wasn’t sure I could pierce this armor he had around himself, but even so, I couldn’t say no to him. I wanted to explore whatever this was.
His lips tilted up in a smile, but his gaze was still intense.
“Good.” Getting out of the bed, he took off the condom and went to the bathroom.
I sighed, staring after him. Who could resist the sight of those sexy buttocks? I definitely couldn’t.
He came back with a wet cloth. I blushed, taking it from him and cleaning myself up as he sat down on the bed next to me. “Sleep here.”
“I don’t think it’s a good idea. It could get confusing for Paisley.”
“Then stay for a while longer.”
I smiled, lying back on the bed. “I could stay a while longer. It all depends on you.”
He wiggled his eyebrows. “Challenge accepted.”
“Are you sure? You’re the one who’s got to be in top shape in the morning. Paisley and I can have fun even if I’m sleepy.”
He groaned. “Don’t remind me about tomorrow. Let’s focus on tonight. It’s all about you.”
I lay back down on one side, smiling up at him but feeling a bit self-conscious that I was naked, which was ridiculous. But now that the hormonal craze was out of my system, I remembered that my thighs and ass were a tad too big for my liking. I tried to pull the bedsheet up to my middle.
Tate cocked a brow. “What are you doing?”
“Covering up my ass,” I blurted.
Oh my God. Why did I say that?Body insecurities were not sexy.
He tilted closer, a deep sound reverberating in his throat. “Lexi, you’re fucking beautiful. Don’t doubt that.”
I pressed my lips together, giving him a small smile.
Narrowing his eyes, he peeled the sheet off me, skimming his lips up my belly.
“What’s the plan, mister?” I whispered.
“I’m going to show you how sexy you are to me.”
