I dragged in a breath as she nuzzled her cheek over my boxers, her smile wicked as she shoved at her own jeans until they pooled at her feet. A scrap of bronze-colored panties clung high on her hips, showing off every blessed inch of her—starting at the slight curve of her hips to the endless legs I would be exploring for hours. My gaze tracked up to her belly then to the upturned nipples on her breasts.
I ran the back of my knuckle along her thigh up to follow the line of her panties and on up to her middle. Even as she shivered, she leaned into my touch. When I got to the heavy underside of her breast, I coasted lightly around the curve to the tip.
I watched her eyes dilate as I flicked her nipple then pinched. The cinnamon color went dark in the low light. I lowered my mouth to taste her, swirling my tongue around the tip before I sucked strongly.
She cupped the back of my head and arched her back. I wrapped my other arm around her waist to make sure she didn’t fall, but I took advantage of her surrender.
I took my time, sipping the sunshine off her skin. Her softness and fragility weren’t lost on me. I didn’t deserve to be touching her, but I’d worship her for as long as she allowed it.
I slid my leg between hers and felt my mattress against my knee. I lifted her, holding her tight to me as I crawled up the bed. Her uncontainable curls spread across my sheets as she rose under me, my name barely more than breath on her lips.
Reversing course, I dragged my mouth down her neck to her chest and over her ribs. She stared down at me. No shrinking violet here. She was an active and full participant.
She lifted her leg to drag her heel down my calf. “Where do you think you’re going?”
I grinned up at her as I lifted the material of her panties away from her hip with my teeth. “They’re in the way.”
I dragged them down and tossed them over my shoulder as I opened her wide.
She scratched at my shoulders. “Oh, no, you don’t. Up here, buddy.”
“Never had anyone say no to this direction.”
“Second round. Maybe third.” She pulled my hair. “I need you up here. On me. Inside me.”
I didn’t need to be told twice.
I caged her with my arms, hissing as her fingers explored my back before following a meandering path around to my belly. Finally, she cupped me through my shorts. My necklace swung between us, glinting in the fading sun.
I lowered my hips to rub along her center. She lifted her legs, and I shook my head. “Open for me.”
She let her legs fall open wider and I undulated against her from center to chest. My tongue swirled along her collarbone to her neck.
Her hands roamed down my back to cup my ass so she could hold me tighter against her slit.
“You sure you don’t want me to have a little taste down there?”
She shook her head and angled her head to catch my mouth. “Inside me,” she said against my lips. “You’ve been teasing me for days.”
I kissed my way down her neck and lower to tease her breasts.
“Ransom.” She gripped my hip with her leg.
“I need a little something first.”
“Bet that little something is in the drawer over there.”
I laughed against her bellybutton and flicked my tongue into the little divot.
As her hips rose, I dragged my bearded chin along the skin just above her pussy. “Nope.”
“No?” She lifted her head to stare down at me. Her expression was on the verge of crazed. I liked her desperate.
Knowing she wanted me as much as I wanted her was a heady experience. And I’d damn sure need to have it more than just this once.
I lowered my mouth to her warmth. She was swollen and so goddamn wet for me, I couldn’t resist a taste.
She levered upward off the bed, spurring me on. I had to have more. I slid my hands under her ass and held her tight to my mouth. She was sweet and salty and tasted better than she had any right to.
Already, I knew her tells.
She lifted against my mouth as I ground my chin against her and sucked her tight clit between my lips. She drenched my mouth, my chin, and I chased her soft groans until they were choked sobs.
I left her there on the edge and pushed off the bed.
She jerked up with murder in her eyes. If she’d had a weapon, I would’ve feared for my dick.
Thankfully, her only weapon was her glare, as formidable as it was.
“Be right back.”
