Temperatures always fluctuated in the spring. Tonight was a little below average, but he hadn’t bothered with the thermostat before. Hadn’t cared.
He did now.
“It won’t be for long,” he said, clicking the heat on.
“Of that, I have no doubt.”
He turned to find her smiling at him with her legs extended toward the ceiling, ankles crossed.
His entire body throbbed, and he nearly swallowed his tongue.
Memories of her in various yoga positions and the many fantasies and dreams that had followed flooded his mind at once.
He cleared his throat. Twice. “Hold that thought while I grab a condom.”
Chapter Seventeen
“Hurry,” Elle urged, sprawled out on the mattress again.
Not one to disappoint, he shucked his sweats, grabbed a condom from the box he kept in his nightstand, then he rolled it on before moving to stand at the bottom of his bed. “Now, where were we?”
“I believe you were going to heat things up,” she replied, a wide smile on her face, and heaven help him, a lot of heat as she rested back on her elbows and watched him.
The sight of her naked, nipples beaded from the cold and need, which was also evident in her eyes and her wicked grin, had his erection back to locked and loaded.
Damn, she was potent.
“To combustible lengths,” he said, dipping down to kiss his way up her soft, warm body.
Jeremy stopped to pay extra attention to her gorgeous nipples, eliciting a low moan as she arched her back. Then he moved to her neck and the spot behind her ear, and she rewarded him by gasping and squirming while she dug her nails into his biceps.
He’d never grow tired of her responses.
And when he finally made his way to her mouth, she released his arms to shove her hands in his hair and kissed him back with a hunger that sent his pulse racing too fast for radar. Fierce and relentless, the kiss was demanding and wild, with lots of tongue, which spurred another moan from Elle…just how he liked it.
Several amazing moments later, a lack of air forced him to end the spectacular kiss. Breathing hard, he straightened to kneel between her thighs before lifting the leg she’d raisedearlier. He bent down to place a kiss on her thigh, then he dragged his mouth all the way up her gorgeous, supple limb to her ankle and those sexy heels.
The green in her eyes deepened as she watched him, waiting, anticipation hitching her breaths.
He pressed her leg to his body, brushing her ankle with his thumb. “Think you can keep it here?”
Fire flashed in her gaze as she nodded.
“Good,” he said, reaching beneath her to shift her hips.
Without giving her direction, Elle curved her other leg around him, and he automatically glanced down at all she’d exposed. Sucking in a breath, Jeremy struggled to hold onto his control.
He swallowed hard. The desire to lose himself in her had never been stronger. In fact, he shook from it.
“Jeremy, hurry,” Elle urged, her gaze smoldering. “I need you in me.”
He needed that too, so badly.
Positioning himself at her center, he held her leg against him with one hand and her hip with the other as he pushed inside her sweet warmth.
She cried out, while he groaned.
The angle…it felt too amazing to keep quiet.
