Then her brain went blank because he also yanked off his briefs.
She wasn’t inexperienced. She was familiar with the male anatomy.
But, holy moly. She hadn’t experienced quite that much male anatomy.
She tugged off her top and when she moved to unclasp her bra, he caught her hands. “I get to do that, princess.”
The puckered scar caught her attention and she raised a hand to touch it, gently rubbing where a bullet had violently ripped through his body. He sucked in a breath when she levered herself up to press her lips to the emblem of her warrior.
“Jesus Christ,” he muttered. “You turn me inside out.”
He braced himself over her again and she trailed her fingers through his chest hair and down his narrow waist, and over the rippled washboard of his abdomen.
Her hum of appreciation when she reached the velvet hardness of him and began fondling his erection turned to a whimper of frustration when he pulled out of reach.
“We’ll get to that, baby. There’s no hurry.”
He played his fingers over, then under the elastic of her cotton panties while at the same time nudging a bra strap off her shoulder. He used his nose to push aside the cup and expose her breast. “You…are…perfect.” The words were spoken between open-mouthed kisses to her breast.
She reached for him again, but he moved away. “Still no. Not yet.”
“How come you get all the fun?”
“Don’t worry, princess, you’ll have fun. So much fun.” The huskiness of his voice was like adding gasoline to an already raging fire.
He nudged her up and she arched her back so he could unclasp her bra. Then he began worshipping her breasts with his mouth while slipping his hand under her panties to stroke and fondle. Panting, her breath coming in gasps, she was climbing toward a climax when he raised his head, blue eyes burning, and withdrew his hand.
At her groan of disappointment, his smile turned wicked and he moved down her body, his movements excruciatingly slow.
His warm lips and tongue trailed over her ribs, dipped in the hollows of her belly, and when he tugged down her panties, slipped silkily lower still. His gaze locked with hers as he continued tasting and licking, his hands stroking, until he wasthere,causing sensation to blaze through her system like a solar flare.
She closed her eyes at the pleasure, letting herself absorb everything she felt.
He urged her on, mouth, tongue, clever fingers pushing her to climb higher and higher, then higher still, until she spun out in a universe of dizzying galaxies, grounded only by his strong hands grasping her hips and his tongue gently soothing her.
When she could breathe again, she murmured, “I think I experienced the Big Bang.” He gave a startled laugh and she stretched languorously. “I now know what it is, the biggest and best orgasm in the cosmos. I feel weightless.”
“Yeah? Think you could do another?”
When his grin flashed, she realized she’d never before seen him look unguarded, joyful. That he could feel like that when fully engaged in her pleasure was humbling.
He got to business again, this time reversing the direction of his lovemaking, using mouth and fingers to work his way up her body.
He kissed, licked, and nipped over her belly and breasts, her neck and earlobe, until his mouth was on hers and his erection nudged exactly where she wanted it to be.
Then he muttered a curse and pulled back. “Wait. Condom.”
The wrapper crinkled as he took care of business and then he was back.
Gazes locked together, he thrust forward, shallow at first, then stronger, deeper. They moved together, tension coiling, pressure building.
He took her hands, their fingers linking together. All humor evaporated and she had the feeling neither of them expected the shift of emotion to something that felt weightier. His jaw tensed and she could sense him exerting iron control to hold back on his release.
“I want you with me, princess.” Hands still holding hers, he changed the angle of his lovemaking.
“Oh god, that’s so good.”
Trapped by his intensity, she rode the building tide of sensation. He was right there with her as power swept over and through her, her second orgasm cascading in a wave of pleasure that brought him with her as they hurled over the crest together.
