There’s a moment of hesitation at first, then she melts against me. I wrap my arms around her and it feels so right, so perfect, as if our bodies were made to fit together.

I find the zipper of her dress, and a tiny moan escapes the back of her throat as I slowly ease it down. “Fuck,” I groan, my erection straining against her as more and more of her soft skin is revealed. “So damn sexy.”

“Please,” she breathes, stepping back just enough to let her little black dress fall to the floor and pool at her feet. “Please keep going.”

I chuckle as I lean my face into her neck, breathing in the scent of her hair, and begin to unpin the curls pulled into a loose bun. “Abby, please… Do you really think I would stop now?”

She shivers, and her fingers pull lightly at my shirt, untucking it before hesitantly pressing into the skin of my abdomen.

I press a light kiss against her neck, and then pull away as her dark hair cascades free over her back and shoulders.

She’s standing in front of me in nothing but her lacy bra and panties, and even though I will definitely keep going, I have to stop for a moment just so I can drink in the sight of her. “Don’t worry,” I say, my voice sounding lower and more gravelly than normal to my own ear. “We’re not going to stop until I make you come.”

Her lips part as she stares at me, blue eyes wide, and I feel my mouth pull into a predatory smile as I step back towards her.

“Preferably more than once.”

She leans her head to the side as I move in to kiss her neck again, whimpering quietly when I can’t help but nip and suck at her delicate, fluttering pulse point. She sighs, and I feel her body relax into mine. I want to worship every inch of her. I trail kisses down her collarbone, along the swell of her breasts. With each touch, she shivers beneath my mouth, each breath coming in ragged gasps.

“Tell me if I’m going too fast,” I whisper against her skin, but she only pulls me closer, her hands tangling in my hair.

“No,” she moans, “I need more.”

I scoop her into my arms and carry her into the bedroom, lowering her onto the firm mattress before dropping down to my knees in front of her. My eyes are locked onto hers, and I groan as she bites her lip in silent anticipation. Fuck, I love everything about this woman. I need to taste her right now like I need air in my lungs as I slowly, gently spread her legs wide.

“Is this what you want, beautiful?” I ask, my voice straining with lust.

“God, yes,” she gasps, hands clutching at the sheets.

I take my time, kissing and nipping along the tender flesh of her inner thighs until I reach her core. The scent of her desire is intoxicating, and I feel a primal hunger stir within me.

“Please, Alec. Don’t tease me,” she begs, making me want to tease her that much more.

But there will be time for more teasing later. Right now, we’re both feeling needy and impatient as I slip her panties off, before pressing my lips and tongue to her folds to savor her wetness. A loud, throaty moan escapes her lips as I flatten my tongue against her clit, slowly swirling it around before applying more pressure.

“Oh God, Alec. Alec!” she cries out, bucking her hips against my face. “Don’t stop. Need you. Need more.”

Her pleasure is my sole purpose in life right now. It’s all I can think about. All I care about. I alternate between flicking her clit with my tongue and gently sucking, determined to push her over the edge. My fingers slide into her slick heat, pumping in and out over and over again as her body grips me and tries to pull me in deeper.

“I’m so close,” she whimpers, legs trembling.

“Let go, baby. Just let go for me.” I finger her harder and faster, loving the way she’s coming undone right in front of me.

With a shuddering gasp, she climaxes, her body convulsing under the force of her release. I hold her steady, riding out the waves of pleasure with her, refusing to let her fall. When the tremors subside, I crawl back up her body, wrap her in my arms, and pull the sheets over us.

“Oh my goodness,” she murmurs, her voice drowsy with satisfaction. “That was incredible.”

“You’re incredible,” I answer with a smile, planting a kiss on her forehead. “We’ll stay just like this for as long as you want.” I kiss her again, then add, “Until you’re ready for more.”

Her breath hitches and she smiles up at me. “Oh, I definitely want more.”

Chapter 4

Abby

Ithink I must have drifted off, but he’s still awake and watching me when I open my eyes again. “Sorry,” I say, feeling a little embarrassed, but also hungry for more of what we were doing just a little while ago. “I guess I was sleepier than I realized.”

“No need to apologize, beautiful.” His voice is deep and sexy, warm and rich like aged whiskey, and I want him so badly it hurts. My fingers itch to touch him, to trace the lines of his muscular arms and broad chest. He must have undressed at some point, and he’s somehow even more handsome with his clothes off. But I’m nervous, unsure of myself even if I’m also breathless and overwhelmed by my own desire for him.
