“Let me know if you want me to stop,” Bryce said as he pressed his lips against her shoulder one last time before he pulled back and ran his hands down her back and over the generous ass that drove him fucking crazy and couldn’t help but groan.

She felt so fucking good, Bryce thought, unable to resist the urge to lean down and press a kiss against the small of her back as he gave her bottom a gentle squeeze before he started moving his hands down her legs until a small, demanding wiggle of her ass had his lips twitching as he moved his hands back. Leaning down, he pressed a kiss between her shoulder blades as he moved his hands over her bottom, gently kneading each cheek as he kissed a path down her back.

“That feels so good, Bryce,” Cayley said, moaning softly into the pillow as he slowly made his way down her back.

When he reached her lower back, he pressed a kiss above each cheek and then-

“Bryce,” Cayley gasped into her pillow as her hands grabbed hold of the comforter and held on as his lips brushed against one cheek and then the other as he moved onto the bed and swung one leg over hers so that he was straddling her lower legs.

Pressing one last kiss against her cheek, Bryce reached over and grabbed the tin off the nightstand and dipped his fingertips in the ointment before tossing it on the bed as he sat back and focused his attention back on running his hands over Cayley’s skin. While he sat there, Bryce watched as his hands moved down the back of her thighs, working the balm into her sore muscles as she groaned into his pillow.

He took his time, slowly working the tension out of her thighs before running his hands over her bottom again, watching as she turned her head on a soft moan. For several minutes, Bryce watched her face, the way that her lips parted on the next moan as he ran his hands over her and-

He loved her.

Christ, he loved her more than anything, Bryce realized, swallowing hard as he leaned over her and pressed a kiss against the middle of her back, wondering if she had any idea what she meant to him.

CHAPTER35

Something was different, Cayley thought as Bryce’s touch turned from soothing to something that she couldn’t quite explain, but as his hands slowly moved over her, she found her breath catching. She’d never been touched like this before, never knew a simple touch could make her feel this wanted before.

As she lay there, struggling to wrap her mind around just how good it felt when he touched her, Bryce took his time kissing a path up her spine until he was pressing a kiss against the back of her neck. He placed his hands on the bed as he kissed a path along her jaw, leaving her with no other choice but to moan when his lips found hers.

“Did I thank you for helping me tonight?” Bryce asked as he kissed the corner of her mouth.

“You did by offering me a supervisory position,” Cayley reminded him, loving the way that his lips curled up into a smile against her skin.

“Are you going to keep me in line, Cayley?” Bryce asked, turning his head so that he could brush his lips against hers again before he was back to kissing his way back to her neck.

“I’m very good at that sort of thing,” she promised him, only to moan when he brushed his lips lightly down the back of her neck.

“How good?” Bryce asked, pressing his lips between her shoulder blades as his hands found their way back to her shoulders.

“You’ll be giving me a raise within the week,” Cayley felt obligated to point out, only to turn her head and moan into the pillow when he ran his fingertips along her sides.

“Something tells me that you’re right,” Bryce murmured as he continued kissing his way down her spine as she felt him shift on the bed away from her. “Turn over, sweetheart,” he said as he pressed his lips against the small of her back.

“Will you keep worshipping my body?” Cayley asked, slowly exhaling as she rolled over onto her back to find Bryce watching her through unreadable eyes as he dipped his fingertips in the salve before dropping the tin back on the bed and-

Tore a moan from her when his hands found her shoulders again. God, he was so good at this, Cayley thought, keeping her gaze locked with his as he moved those incredibly talented hands over her shoulders and down her arms. Never taking his eyes off her, Bryce ran his hands over her arms one last time before he was reaching for the tin again.

He scooped up a tiny amount of the salve and rubbed it between his hands before he reached for her shoulders again. He took his time working out the last of the aches before he slowly ran his hands down her chest and slid his hands one at a time down between the breasts that were aching for his touch.

When his hands moved over her stomach, Cayley ran her gaze over him, taking in the way that he watched her, the way that the muscles in his arms moved as he ran his hands over her, and the way that the large erection that told her just how much he wanted her pressed tightly against the front of his boxers and-

Moaned when his hands moved back up her stomach and covered her breasts. He gently kneaded her breasts as the salve that smelled like lemongrass warmed her skin. Keeping his eyes locked with hers, he threw his leg back over hers so that he was straddling her thighs as he continued massaging her breasts.

Her hands found his thighs as he took his time, allowing her nipples to slide between his fingers as he gently moved his hands over her. She watched Bryce as she ran her hands over his thighs, trying to read those intense green eyes that watched her as though he was afraid that if he looked away she would disappear.

Cayley tried telling herself that she was reading too much into that look, but…

She felt the same way and that was the problem because she wasn’t sure that she was ready for this, she just-

Needed to stop thinking, Cayley decided when Bryce leaned down and brushed his lips against hers. When he sat back up, he released his hold on her breasts and shifted to the side as he reached down and cupped the back of one of her legs and moved it aside so that he was kneeling between her legs. Leaning back down, Bryce brushed his lips against hers again as she felt his fingertips trail a path down her thighs and gently cup the back of her knees as he sat up and used his hold on her to raise her legs and pull her closer so that the back of her thighs were resting over his.

“You have no fucking idea how badly I want you, Cayley,” Bryce said as he ran his hands down her thighs and back over her stomach so that he was cupping her breasts in his hands again.

Swallowing hard, Cayley placed her hands over his as she said, “Show me.”
