“I can.”
Iris stared at me like I was some sort of superhero. Something washed over her expression, and she moved in my direction again. Draping one arm over my shoulder, she pressed her palm against my chest. “You are the most amazing man I’ve ever met. I’m not sure there’s anything I’d ever be able to teach you.”
With my lips mere inches from hers, I said, “I’m sure there’s something. I’m always up for learning things. And I do have something I’ve been curious about for a while now.”
She arched a curious brow. “Oh?”
I brushed my mouth against hers, inhaling the scent of her. “I’ve been wondering if I’d like seeing you naked and bent over the hood of this thing. In my head, it’s always magnificent, but I guess I can’t be certain.”
Iris nipped at my lip. “Well, I think we should test out your theory. But how bold are you feeling?”
“What do you mean?”
She shifted her attention to the open garage door. “Anyone could see us.”
“Then they better not look, or they’ll be jealous.”
A mischievous grin spread across her face. “I think you’re bluffing.”
Iris pressed her body firmly against me. As her lips brushed over mine, my arm clamped around her waist. I quickly took over, deepening the kiss as she parted her lips and gave me access to her mouth.
As soon as our tongues touched, a moan forced its way up her throat. I swallowed that down and allowed my hands to roam over her curves.
I’d never get used to the softness of her. Her lips, her body, her skin, her heart. All of it, soft and yielding and sweet.
Every time we kissed, it was an effort to restrain myself. To take the time to savor it.
Tearing my mouth away, both of us breathing heavily, I said, “I’m not pretending to be unbothered by the possibility of someone catching us.”
“So, it wouldn’t upset you if someone else saw me naked?”
“I never said that.” My teeth nipped at the side of her neck, sending a shiver along her spine. “But nobody is going to see you naked, so I don’t have to worry about that.”
“How can you be so sure?”
I’d barely just started, and her voice was ragged. Filled with desperation.
I licked up the front column of her throat, brought my hands to her hips, and said, “Turn around, and I’ll show you.”
Without waiting for a response, I spun her around. Iris yelped before she laughed. But when I wrapped my arms around her from behind, one hand at her breasts, the other drifting down between her legs, all humor went out the window. She arched her back, grinding her ass against my cock.
And right there, with the garage door open, I stripped her naked, bent her over, and lived out the fantasy that had played out often in my mind.
As great as it had been whenever I imagined it, that fantasy didn’t hold a candle to reality.
Perhaps that was because I was living this out with this stunning woman that I loved more than I ever thought possible.
Iris
I thought I’d be nervous.
As I walked through the parking lot toward the entrance of Mono Mark Solutions, I felt strong, powerful, reassured, and calm.
Part of that was the result of having an airtight plan without any room for error. The other part was knowing that I had Landen right beside me.
We made it to the door, where I took a deep breath.
“Are you ready?” he asked, one hand on the handle.
