“Why wouldn’t you?”
His eyes sparkled with mischief as he replied, “Don’t know if it’s a good idea.”
“Why not?”
“Cause if I start…” his dark eyes flickered with hunger as they dropped to my mouth, “I’m not sure I’d be able to stop.”
“Maybe I don’t want you to stop.”
“Laken,” he whispered slowly, prolonging each letter of my name as if to savor them. His eyes locked on mine as he leaned forward, but just as his lips were about to touch mine, he stopped. My lips parted, and our breaths mingled. The electricity crackled between us, making my entire body hum. I eased forward, trying to close the distance between us, but he quickly leaned out of my reach.
I looked up at him with disappointment.
He paused, not to refuse me, but to appreciate the moment before he slipped his hand behind my neck and pulled me forward, crashing his mouth against mine. His lips were soft and full as they covered mine. It was like they were made just for me.
His warm, wet tongue ran across my bottom lip as his hands snaked down my back. They were strong and assured as he pulled me closer to him. His touch. His scent. His taste. Everything about him made my entire body tingle with desire.
I longed for this moment. It was all I could think about every time we kissed. It felt so good, so right, to be in his arms. My fingers raked through his hair as I moaned against his mouth.
Without warning, he leaned back, breaking from our embrace. “You have no idea how incredible you are.”
I watched in wonder as he lowered his mouth down to mine, kissing me softly, so gentle and sweet. His scent circled around me, a mix of cologne and fresh leather. Just being close to him enthralled all my senses.
As soon as I brought my hands up to his chest, the kiss changed, becoming more intense and heated. Goosebumpsswept across me as he delved further into my mouth, exploring every inch with his tongue.
His fingers dug into my hips as he pulled me closer to him, forcing a light moan to vibrate through my chest. The bristles of his beard lightly scratched against my skin as he took complete control. My body ached for him, burning for more as he claimed me with his mouth. My hands began to roam over his chest, gliding over the bulging muscles of his abdomen.
I wanted to touch his bare skin, feel the heat of his body pressed against mine, and I couldn’t wait a moment longer. I started to tug at his shirt, pulling it over his head. Once it was off, our hands became frantic, quickly removing the clothes that separated us. In just a few seconds, I was wearing only my lace bra and panties.
“Thatch?” I whispered.
His eyes were focused on my almost naked body, and my heart fluttered when I noticed the hunger in his eyes. “Thatch.”
It was barely a whisper, but it was enough. A faint growl escaped him as his mouth settled over mine again. His hands slowly eased behind my back to release the clasp of my bra. As the fabric slipped away from my body, I felt his lips glide across my skin to my breast. Lust consumed me as the wet heat of his mouth engulfed my nipple and began to gently suck.
He broke contact momentarily as he lifted me into his arms and carried me into the bedroom. He lowered me onto the bed, and he eased on top of me. He resumed his heavenly torture of kissing and nipping the delicate skin of my neck.
He looked down at me with emotion in his eyes as he whispered, “You deserve the world, Laken. And one day, I’m gonna give it to you.”
I bit my bottom lip and moaned with need as his hand slowly slid between our bodies. He traced his fingers across my panties, teasing me with his light caresses. Pushing the fabric to the side,he slowly slid his fingers into me. He twirled and flicked his fingers inside me, tormenting me with the motion of his hand.
His thumb circled around my swollen clit, drawing out my pleasure. As he found my G spot, I held my breath, the muscles in my body quivering uncontrollably. I was still soaring in ecstasy when I felt my panties being slipped down over my hips. “So fucking incredible.”
The blankets underneath me shifted as he reached for his jeans. I lifted my head to watch him slide the condom down his long, thick shaft. A look of satisfaction crossed his face as he settled back between my legs and said, “You keep looking at me like that, and I won’t be responsible for what happens next.”
Without another word, he eased inside me, filling me completely. I let my legs spread farther apart, and he immediately growled, “Fuck. You feel so damned good.”
He slowly began to move, each thrust deliberate and powerful. I rocked against him with every stroke, trying to take him even deeper inside. His gaze burned into me as he brought his hand up to my neck, his fingers gently caressing my throat. The intensity of our connection was there in his eyes, and there was no denying that I felt it, too. I’d felt it all along.
“I’ll never be able to get enough of you, Laken.”
I groaned in pleasure, reassuring him that I felt the same way. I was lost in the waves of carnal sensation he was giving me, the fullness of his body inside mine. His eyes never left mine as he increased his rhythm, each thrust more demanding than the last. My inner muscles clenched around him as I felt another orgasm building inside me.
His punishing pace never faltered as his body continued to crash into mine. I’d never felt such an intense mixture of pleasure and pain. It was so intoxicating that I was finding it difficult to even breathe. His very touch sent me spiraling out of control, and I knew I would never be the same again. I wantedto remember everything about that moment… to focus on how incredible he felt, but it was all just too much. I couldn’t stop my treacherous body from seeking its ultimate high. I let out a strangled moan as my orgasm took over, my body jerking beneath him.
I wrapped my legs tighter around him as the jolt of my release drove him to find his climax. A sublime sense of satisfaction rushed over me as his growl echoed around us. His body trembled, and the muscles in his abdomen grew taut as he finally came deep inside me.
He looked down at me as our shallow breaths mingled in the air between us. I felt so close to him in that moment, I never wanted it to end. We both stilled as we listened to the satisfied sounds of the beating of our hearts. Eventually, our breathing began to steady, and he slowly lifted his body from mine.
