He tried to be as honest with her as possible while not jeopardizing his assignment. “That’s exactly why. I want things with you that I shouldn’t, that I can’t…” his voice trailed off.

“What things?” she asked sincerely.

A lopsided grin tugged at his lips as he ran his hands through his hair in frustration. “You have no idea.”

“You’re right, I don’t.” Her green eyes were wide as she nodded. “That’s why I’m asking.”

The air between them was thick and crackling with arousal. A flush had risen on her skin “I want you, Brynn. All the time. You’re all I think about and—”

The next thing he knew, Brynn had launched herself into his arms and cut off his declaration with a kiss overflowing with pent-up desire. His arms wrapped around her waist and he kissed her with everything he had. Feeling her lips against his, tasting her minty mouth, was like coming home.

He’d missed her more than he dared to admit. Holding her, kissing her, even just talking to her again, had brought to the surface all of the emotions that he’d been pushing down. A savage intensity burned through him and instead of trying to tamp it down, he let it drive him. Their kiss was punishing, devouring, and all-consuming.

Her hands clutched at his shoulders and he realized that she was tugging at his shirt so he set her down to take it off. As he tugged it up, she unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans. Once the shirt cleared his head, he felt his pants and boxer briefs pool at his feet. He stepped out of them both and his shoes as Brynn wrapped her fingers around his erection, jutting out proudly.

He reached down to cup her face and kiss her once again, but she was just out of reach as she dropped to her knees in front of him. He knew what was about to happen and he thought that he was prepared for it. He was wrong. Nothing could’ve prepared him for what he would feel as he watched Brynn’s perfect, cherry red lips press to his engorged crown. With gentle, yet firm pressure, she covered the area of his mushroom tip in tantalizing kisses before bringing her tongue to the party. Watching her kiss him was sexy, but watching her lick him, tease him, with the promise of more was more erotic.

Pleasure whipped through him as his skin heated from the arousal she was stoking in him. When she sealed her lips around him and sucked, pulling him into the enveloping warmth of her wet mouth, his knees buckled and he grew lightheaded. He grasped onto the table beside him for support. He was glad he did because she began brazenly stroking his shaft with her hand while sucking him in and then pulling him out of her mouth.

The delicious friction the dual forces created was potent and all-consuming. What started as a carnal ache morphed into a pulsing urgency and he knew that if he didn’t stop this, he was going to come in her mouth. As hot as that sounded, he didn’t want to chance not being able to be inside of her and make love to her one more time.

Everything in his body was screaming for him to let this play out, but he didn’t listen. Instead, he grabbed her arms and lifted her up. He’d told himself again and again that he wasn’t going to get another night with her, that he couldn’t have one. Now that it was here, there was no way he was going to waste it.

Brynn was catchingher breath as she watched Axel’s eyes—wild with passion—track along the seam of her mouth as she licked her lips, savoring the saltiness of his velvet, steel-hard shaft. “I’ve wanted to do that for a long time,” she breathlessly confessed.

His nostrils flared at her admission and the hand that was resting on her hip flexed, causing his fingertips to dig into her flesh. “Do you want to know what I’ve wanted to do for a long time?”

The baritone in his voice reverberated through her as she answered, “No, but I’d love it if you showed me.”

A devilish grin pulled at his lips, sending a thrill dancing down her spine straight to her core.

With a dominating authority he instructed, “Turn around.”

Her heart was pounding as she did as he asked. With her back to him, she felt his fingers trail along her shoulder and brush her hair to the side. Then his lips were on her neck. He covered the entire area in sensual, open-mouth kisses as he unhooked her bra and slid the straps down her shoulders. Once it was off, he wrapped his arms around her and his hands cupped her breasts. Her eyes drifted down to where he kneaded her flesh. She watched, captivated, as his fingers teased her nipples, pinching them between his thumb and forefinger as his tongue and lips caressed her neck.

Her sex was already clenching with need when he lifted his hand to her mouth and pressed his finger between her lips. She sucked his digit, covering it with saliva before he removed it and traced her nipples, spreading the moisture across one before repeating on the other nipple. Once both her nipples were wet and glistening, he began teasing and pinching them again. This time she cried out from the pleasure that shot like an arrow to her sex.

When she did, he released her breasts and one hand gripped her hip as the other moved between their bodies and pressed between her shoulder blades. Her upper body moved forward and she splayed her hands out on the large table that she’d been using to cut material. Her belly quivered as it rested on the cool, hard surface of the table. As she lowered further, she turned her head to the side so her cheek laid against the wooden table top.

Her heart was beating wildly in her chest as she felt Axel tug her panties down her legs. She was bent over and totally exposed to Axel as his hands began caressing her, running over her backside then down her thighs, never actually touching her most needy place. It was as exhilarating as it was frustrating. She’d always considered herself a patient person, especially if the payoff was worth it. Right now though, she wanted to demand that he do something to make the aching pressure that was building in her core release.

She didn’t. She let him take his time, because she knew that he’d take care of her. Her body intrinsically trusted that he’d take her to places she’d never even dreamed were possible.

Even in her heightened state, she noted that no matter where he explored, his finger always returned to the same place and made a tiny circle just below her left butt cheek.

Finally, his hot breath fanned that same area as he said, “I’ve wanted to do this for a long time.” The next thing she felt was his hot lips pressing the sensitive spot that he’d been showing the most attention to. “I’ve wanted to kiss this birthmark since the first day I met you.”

Part of her was still embarrassed that he’d seen her totally naked before they’d even exchanged names. But part of her, maybe an inner exhibitionist that she’d never acknowledged before, was turned on by the idea of it.

He continued softly brushing his lips against her birthmark as his thumbs massaged her inner thighs in tiny circles. She was so lulled by the rhythm of his caresses that when he pushed her thighs apart with just enough force to make her even wetter than she already was, it caused her to gasp. Her fingernails dug into the wood surface as she braced herself for what was to come next.

Her preparations were not in vain, because the next sensation she felt was Axel’s tongue licking her from behind. That was all it took for her already primed body to explode in a cataclysmic release. Stars flashed behind her eyelids as she convulsed from the sheer force of her orgasm.

At the exact moment that she was cresting at the peak of her climax, she felt Axel replace his tongue with his cock. He pushed into her body with a driving thrust that had her lifting up on her tiptoes and crying out as a wave of pleasure crashed into her. Her body erupted in a chain of glorious explosions, one after the other.

Her body milked him as she rode out the ripples of ecstasy, until finally she collapsed onto the table. He wrapped his arms around her and sat on the bench beside them, pulling her onto his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck and laid her head against his shoulder as she recovered from the massive, earth-shaking release she’d just had when a thought hit her. “Hey, what were you doing here? At the theater?”

A flash of something she couldn’t quite read lit in his eyes, but it was quickly masked. “I couldn’t sleep either. I came down to work and saw your car.”

“Oh. Great minds,” she joked, but she could feel the energy shift between them. The connection that had been there moments before was gone. He was guarded once again. She didn’t want to ruin the time they’d just had with awkwardness so she clapped her hands together. “We should probably get out of here before the night security finds us.”

The next thing she knew, Axel was covering her with a large swatch of cloth that lay on the table as he looked over his shoulder to see if anyone was there. A shot of giddiness hit her when she realized that his first instinct was to cover her up.

“I’m kidding.” She placed her hand on his chest. “This is Whisper Lake, there’s no night security.”

His face relaxed again and he exhaled before leaning down and kissing her on the forehead. And just like that, she felt it again. Their connection. And even though she knew that it would be gone again soon, she couldn’t help the smile that pushed her cheeks up to her eyes when she felt his lips brush her forehead.

She had no idea where this was going, or if it was going anywhere, but for right now, her plan was to just sit back and enjoy the ride.
