Page 62 of Parker

Only reality blew every one of the imaginary images his hungry mind had created.

“You gonna stand there and stare, or are you planning on joining me?” One of her brows arched playfully.

Parker’s lips curved into crooked smile as he gave her nude body a blatant once-over. “Just enjoying the view.”

“Bet you’d enjoy it a whole lot more if you were down here with me.”

The aching in Parker’s dick grew painful. He wasn’t quite ready to use them, but the need to protect this woman in every way possible had him moving to his nightstand. Pulling the top drawer open, he removed a box of condoms and tossed them onto the bed.

“Brand new, huh?” Quinn noticed the box’s unopened flaps.

“Companies send me all kinds of things hoping to sign me as a spokesperson.” The mattress dipped below his weight. “I get tested every year per my insurance policy, and my most recent was nearly two months ago. I’m clean, but I still want to protect you.”

“I’m clean, too, but that’s good to know. And…condom companies?” Her breasts jiggled with a rough, sexy laugh. “Really?”

Wearing nothing but a grin, he knelt between the small gap in her half-opened legs. “Like I said. All kinds of things.”

A low swishing sound reached his ears when she shook her head against the plush comforter. “That’s crazy.”

“Oh, that’s nothing. But definitely a story for another day.”

“Mmm, yes.” Quinn nodded in a moaned agreement. “Definitely.”

She moved to give him more space to—as she’d so eloquently put it—maneuver. But he held her legs still.

“I meant what I said earlier, Quinn.” He stared down at her, praying she could see the truth in his eyes. “I have a past, sure. We both do. But other than a few photo ops, I haven’t been with a woman in nearly a year.”

“Ayear?”

He could see the wheels turning. Knew what she was probably thinking. And she’d be right.

“I haven’t slept with anyone since you and I started talking,” he confessed.

A flash of surprise and confusion crossed over her. “Really? I mean, neither have I, but that’s different.”

“Why?”

“Uh...because I’m notyou.”

“The women in my past all showed me a lot of what I don’t want. But you, Quinn Wilder…” His thumbs caressed her skin as his eyes remained locked with hers. “You were the first one to show me what Idowant.”

“Parker…” Her beautiful eyes softened with emotion.

“We can talk later. Right now, there’s something else I want to do.”

He gently nudged her legs, his throbbing dick twitching with joy when she voluntarily spread them wide. Leaning down, he inhaled her hypnotizing scent. His mouth watering with anticipation.

“What do you want to do?” Her question came out half-spoken, half-whispered.

Looking up at her from between her splayed thighs, Parker licked his lips and said, “I want to taste you.”

“Parker!”Quinn cried out as his mouth found her.

Eyes squeezed shut, the back of her head pushed against the mattress as the talented man began feasting on her sex.

Oh. My. God!
