CHAPTER THIRTEEN
LINCOLN
Iwas fairly certainat least one of us would regret this decision in the morning, but there was no way I could stop what was happening. I’d dreamed about her one too many times since our weekend together, so I ignored the little voice at the back of my mind reminding me that this could complicate an already complicated situation.
I grabbed Harper’s hips and pulled her close as my lips skated down the column of her throat. Her moans drove me wild. Our lips connected again, and this time I ravished her mouth, not able to get enough of her sweet taste. Her tongue dueled with mine, fueling my memories of just how good we’d been together four long months ago.
She wiggled closer to me, giving my hands the leverage I needed to slip under her ass. I kneaded each cheek, easing her to sit on my lap. Every curve of her body sank onto mine, and I fought the need to rip off her clothes and have my way with her on the floor.
She climbed off my lap. The juncture of her thighs brushed against my erection, and I groaned. Leaning forward, Harper placed a light kiss on my lips and took my hands in her own. “I think the bedroom might be more comfortable.”
I stared into her eyes, looking for any sign of hesitation. “Are you sure?”
“Lincoln, all I’ve thought about is you and our weekend together. You’ve been my favorite fantasy.”
Hearing her words, my cock jumped. “You’ve been the star in all of mine too.”
Her eyes widened.
“I haven’t been with anyone since that weekend,” I told her. Celebrities can get a bad rap for sleeping around, and some situations and fans make it easy, but I had a hard time letting thoughts of her go.
She scoffed. “You don’t need to say that. I still want this. I still want you.”
I let go of her and cupped her face with my hands. “Even if I wasn’t working eighteen-hour days filming over the last four months, I still wouldn’t have wanted anyone else. I couldn’t get you out of my mind.” To prove my point, I took one of her hands and drew it down to the front of my pants.
Harper bit her lip and rubbed me through my jeans. The friction of her movements had my hips jerking forward.
But I wanted to focus on Harper right now, to savor her body and make tonight amazing for her. I stood, and her hand dropped away. A small whimper escaped her lips.
Satisfaction surged through me. I leaned in and brushed my lips against hers. “Come on. Follow me.”
With every step towards the bedroom, my heart beat faster, and I feared she’d change her mind. But her grip stayed tight.
I led us to the side of the bed with only the moonlight as my guide. I turned on a small lamp by the bed before reaching for her. The light spilled out around us, wrapping us in its warm glow.
She was stunning. Her skin glowed under the pale light, and her auburn strands lit up like reddish-orange embers. My fingers trailed down her cheek as I stared into her blue-green eyes. “You grow even more beautiful each time I see you.”
She shook her head.
“It’s true.” If she wouldn’t believe my words, then maybe she’d believe it when I reminded her how good we were together.
My fingers slipped under the worn cotton of my T-shirt, and I yanked it over my head. Her gaze never left mine as I sat on the edge of the bed, and pulled her between my thighs. Her fingers explored my chest, the tension between us building with her soft caress.
“You sure?” I asked one last time.
She bit her lip and nodded. Her hands dropped to her sides, and I groaned at the loss of her touch. Her arms crossed over her body, reaching for the hem of her sweater. The move pushed her breasts out further causing my gaze to zero in on them. Then her sweater was off, tossed to the floor beside us.
The sexiest green bra filled my gaze—a deep green that seemed darker next to the bright auburn swirl of hair that spilled over her shoulder to rest on her breasts. The bra taunted me, with lace that barely covered her straining nipples, begging me for my mouth and hands to worship them.
“You’ve had this on all day?” I groaned. “The reality of you is so much hotter than I remembered.”
She trembled as she placed her hands on my shoulders.
Before I lost my mind, I reached behind her and unclasped her bra. Her breasts spilled out before me. They were larger, fuller than I remembered. Not able to wait, I wrapped my lips around one hardened nipple, biting and sucking as she threw her head back.
