I’d never been a foolish man, and I wasn’t about to give Shelby another chance to change her mind.
I took her face in my hands and kissed her, my dick already hard and ready to get inside her gorgeous body.
Christ!I’d never wanted a woman this badly, and there was no way in hell I could give her the sweet seduction she deserved this time.
I’d waited too damn long, and the uncertainty of the last few weeks had nearly killed me.
Getting myself off on a daily basis had stopped helping a long time ago.
Our lips still locked together, Shelby tugged my shirt up impatiently.
Good!
She was just as damn eager for me as I was for her.
I fucking loved the way she was going after what she wanted, and I felt like the luckiest asshole on Earth because I was the guy she so desperately needed right now.
Hell, I needed her, too, and I’d never wanted to be a man who needed anyone.
I took a deep breath when I had to release her lips to pull the shirt over my head.
Calm the fuck down, Durand. She’s not about to change her mind.
In fact, Shelby was shedding her own clothes faster than I was, so I raced to get my jeans and my boxer briefs off.
When I was done getting my clothes off, I simply watched as Shelby shed the rest of her clothing.
Little by little, she revealed the gorgeous body and creamy skin I’d fantasized about for so long.
The woman was a goddess, her breasts firm and exactly the right size.
Full hips.
Lush ass.
Thighs a guy my size would want to cradle his hips when he was hammering into her beautiful body.
And long, long legs that I hoped to hell she’d wrap around me because she wanted more.
My breath left my body in awe when she pulled the tie from her hair and those fiery curls spilled over her bare shoulders.
When her emerald green eyes met mine, I could see the slight hesitancy there, and it nearly killed me.
Did she really think I wouldn’t think her body was exquisite?
My woman had been incredibly bold up until this moment, and she had no reason to doubt that she was anything other than perfect.
I stepped forward and wrapped my arms around her waist as I said huskily, “You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, Shelby. Don’t get shy on me now.”
She sent me a broad smile and wrapped her arms around my neck. “I should have known you’d say that, but it’s not easy being with a guy for the first time who has the hottest body I’ve ever seen.”
I savored the feel of her soft, warm, bare skin against mine as I buried my hands in her glorious mass of silky curls.
I didn’t have a hot male body. I was almost forty. I was fit because I worked at staying in shape, but I was battered from years of minor injuries that I’d acquired on various ops in the past.
I had my share of scars, but Shelby didn’t even seem to notice them.
“The only thing I want to do with this body right now is make you come until you’re screaming my name,” I informed her, my voice rough with desire.
