It helped that she walked past him and dropped several condoms on the nightstand.
"I wasn't sure if you came prepared," she said.
"I hadn't thought about that."
She looked up at him, that teasing smile still on her lips. "You came here to have sex with me, but you didn't come with provisions?"
"I hadn't thought about having sex with you," he admitted.
Ava stepped back and gave him a quizzical look. "Then what exactly did you think was going to happen when you came here with..." She waved her hand in front of his body. "You know, withallof this."
"I wasn't really thinking. I walked out of my room and knocked on your door and you answered." Then he stood up from his spot on the bed and took a step towards her. "But I'm here now and I want this." He leaned over and kissed the tender skin on her neck. "I know I want this." He kissed his way down to her collar bone and could feel her breath hitch. "I want you."
Ava leaned in, her body weakening to his touch. He could feel her knees buckle just a little bit as he wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed his way up her neck, her jaw, until he found her lips again. She was warm and waiting for him, responding with a confident kiss that made his whole body heat up just from her touch.
Then she pulled away again, a devilish look in her eyes as she took a step back and unhooked the front of her bra, releasing her amazing breasts. But she didn't look timid or worried about what he thought. She simply dropped the bra on the floor and stepped past him, sitting down on her bed to peel off those sexy leggings. She wasn't wearing anything underneath them.
"I hope you don't mind that I don't feel like running off to find my Louboutins."
She looked up him with those dark eyes filled with desire. He stepped closer, his cock eye-level with her, his boxer briefs straining against the hardness. But Ava kept her eyes on his, kept staring up at him with want. He liked her confidence and determination, all of it, anywhere. But he needed to take control of this situation now.
"Move."
He could feel the darkness in his voice rumble through his chest. He saw the way Ava looked at him. She definitely didn't strike him as someone who liked being told what to do. But with him, she seemed to let her guard down, and he was more than happy to take charge.
Ava bit her lower lip, her eyes still trained on his, and did as he asked. She pushed her way back onto the soft comforter of the bed, watching as he finally stripped his boxers off and grabbed a condom from the nightstand, ripping it open in one quick move. He was definitely thankful that Ava had some with her. Because seriously, whatwashe thinking when he walked over here with his hotel key card but no condoms? Was he not expecting this?
No, to be fair, he was not expecting this. He just wanted to see her, say a few words to her. That honestly would have been enough for him. But to have her be so open to him again? Shane would take it.
He crawled up on the bed to her, her legs straddling him as he got close to her, and he started to kiss her again. He was going to be slow and deliberate, tease her into submission, take his time with her. He didn't want this to end. And she seemed to feel the same way too, her fingers tracing paths down his arms, down his body to that ass of his that he worked damn hard to keep in peak condition.
"Oh, fuck," she murmured against his lips.
"You want that?" he asked.
She nodded quietly, her eyes half closed, her teeth working on her bottom lip.
"What else do you want?"
"You."
He trailed teasing kisses down her neck.
"But I'm the enemy," he said against her skin.
Her hips bucked against him, and he had to pause his worshiping of her body to try and get control of himself. But then she pulled his head down, her lips teasing his ear.
"I don't fucking care," she whispered. "I just want you."
He couldn't help the moan that escaped his lips. "Tell me again."
Ava's breath was warm on his skin. "I want you. Now."
Shane paused for just a moment, then pushed himself into her, slow and deliberate as her hips rolled in response to him. His mind shorted out as the warmth of Ava's body surrounded him. But then he couldn't help but move, his body fighting with his brain.
Take it slow, he thought.Slow, slow, slow.
"Faster," Ava moaned.
