He buried his nose in the crook of her neck, inhaling. "I want my mouth on you until you scream over and over in pleasure." He placed a small kiss in the hollow, sending tingles down her neck and back. "I’ve imagined every way possible to have you—hard, deep, frantic, tantric, submissive. You name it and I’ve thought of it since you left me in Puerto Rico. Because you did something to me."
"You did something to me too." Heat flared through her to the point she felt dizzy. One hand under his chin she lifted his head, leaned in, and kissed him. When he didn’t respond or attempt to meet her halfway, she nibbled on his lower lip, allowing her teeth to graze him.
A guttural noise erupted from him, low and sexy. His hand slid up the column of her neck into her hair to control her head, to angle her face. His lips on hers was a command she hadn’t realized she was okay obeying. It was a silent directive to let him lead and be good with being dominated. As their tongues tangled, she wrapped her legs around him and rubbed against the long length of him.
"Madeline…" He pulled his mouth away to stare at the ceiling.
Please don’t stop."Touch me. Please."
"This wasn’t my intention. I wasn’t going to…"
"You feel this?" she said, moving against him. "Have you ever felt anything like this? So electric and feral. I haven’t."
He released a rough sigh and stared down at where their bodies touched. She couldn’t breathe while things churned inside his head. She hoped he’d cross the line with her. It felt like he was going to.
And thenshe felt the lightest touch along her thigh. He moved his hand up higher and higher. His fingers contacted her underwear over her core. "You’re soaked."
She grabbed his hand. "Please, touch me…stroke me…anything. I’ve never been like this for anyone. Never has simply being in the same room as another made me this crazed. But there’s something about you."
"Are you sure?" he asked, hesitant.
"More than sure."
"This is you distracting me from answering about the curse. It’s working, but if you’re trying to seduce me into letting you leave, forget it."
"No ulterior motive. It’s you who distract me." It was so hard to think straight with him moving his hand…with his fingers so close to where she wanted them. "I want you, Shane. I’ve wanted you for what feels like forever. Us together is a bit problematic. Agreed. But..." He stroked once along her clit and she moaned.
"You’re going to undo the curse." He stopped all movement.
"Y-y-y…yesss. Not sure if I can, but I’ll try. I’m not running right now." She touched the angles of his jaw and planes of his face. On a whisper she said, "Forget everything else for just a moment. There’s only right now."
His thumb passed over her crease and rubbed against her aching clit. The moment he connected again, she threw her head back and bit down on her lip to suppress the long moan. It’d been so long since anyone touched her like this. So long since she’d been this turned on—decades. She could feel herself unraveling quickly.
He lifted her butt to slip the underwear down her legs. Then his fingers were back, spreading and stroking. He slipped two fingers into her.
"That’s amazing. Please, don’t stop." She moved her hips, making him pulse in and out of her, his thumb staying on her clit. The passion she felt for him mounted, sensation and emotion pulling her in every direction.
He leaned in to catch her mouth as she moaned and kissed the sound deep into his throat.
Pressure burned inside her. Her stomach clenched and bottomed out as sensation shuddered everywhere. Fire ripped through her, eliciting a scream when the orgasm shredded her.
"Ride it out." He continued to move his thumb over her, sending aftershocks through her until she couldn’t take anymore and stilled.
He removed his fingers from her and licked them, eyelids at half-mast. "I knew you’d taste this sweet."
"I don’t think I’ve ever come that hard." Her hands landed on the hot skin of his naked chest. Perfection. She could feel how incredibly hard he was…everywhere.
Her hands roamed his muscles. Her thumbs dragged over his nipples and down his pecs. She leaned in to take a pointed nipple into her mouth, eliciting a sharp intake of breath from him. His hands slipped into her hair and combed his fingers through the strands to free it from its braid. "Your hair is so soft. I like the streaks of blonde."
She nibbled and sucked each nipple. Then hopped off the chair, moving lower.
"Will you let me?" She undid the button of his jeans and unzipped.
He stepped back, dropped her hair, and shook his head. "Shower. Get dressed."
Rejection deflated her.
He lifted her chin to force eye contact. He took her hand and pulled her to a stand. "I wantthatso much. Don’t doubt it." He pulled her to a stand and kissed her lightly on the lips. "But a vampire is about to walk in. I can hear his footsteps up the road from wherever he hid from daylight. This is his house, remember? If he catches me doing what he expects of the two of us, I’ll never hear the end of it. He can be relentless."
