I knew without asking that I lay on his bed, in his room. I could smell him on the sheets, a masculine blend of sexuality and spice I couldn’t resist anymore. And the way he stared down at me, his expression cocky yet tender, his eyes dark with carnal suggestion, was just too much to take.
I was done waiting around for him to make a move. He’d done that once and left me high and dry. It was time I took the lead.
Our lips met, and thoughts of control faded. He tasted like forbidden fruit. Sweet and addicting and more than dangerous. His protectiveness in the office, how he’d moved to save my life, putting himself between me and danger flashed in my mind’s eye.
I deepened the kiss, as much in thanks as in awe of his power.
Finally, I’d met a man as strong, if not stronger, than myself. The knowledge burned hotter than his touch…almost.
I groaned under his sensual onslaught. As if I’d unleashed a tidal wave of pure sensual aggression, the gentlemanly Marcus plundered my mouth, conquering me without trying.
“More,” I whispered when his lips left my mouth for my ear and ran my hands through his thick, black hair. I loved that he kept his hair shoulder-length and rubbed the silky strands as he nipped at my earlobe.
He shifted over me, trapping me beneath his massive strength. Then his hands stole under my shirt and cupped my breasts through my bra, molding them to his touch.
I arched into him, even more aroused when I heard his groan of appreciation.
“Yes, sertia, like that,” he said thickly before plunging his tongue in my ear.
I would have shot off the bed, but he pressed me down, stroking my breasts and teasing the nipples into hard points. All the while I felt the heat of his large body atop mine, felt the hard contours of muscle and arousal.
His erection burned against my belly, and I arched up against him, urging him for more.
He kissed his way down my neck and lingered at my pulse, leaving stinging bites of desire in his wake.
Just as I was about to tear his clothes off, he stopped and leaned up.
“This is your last chance,” he said, breathing hard. “Yes or no,” he growled, his blue eyes so dark they looked black, swirling seas of desire and need.
“Yes.”
With a speed I couldn’t follow, he whipped off my clothing and stood staring down at what he’d revealed. I couldn’t help noticing the large bulge in his trousers and ached to see him naked.
He smiled, following my gaze, the grin charming and seductive. And most of all, sincere.
I knew if I wasn’t careful, I could completely fall for this man, as countless others had.
Without missing a step, Marcus peeled off first his shirt, then his shoes, socks, and trousers. And stood before me, naked.
I blinked, unable to ignore that jutting cock. “No underwear?”
“Too constricting.”
I’ll say. I licked my lips, and he focused on the movement, a predator about to pounce. A hint of nerves flared. I was finally going to get the man I’d been lusting after for months. I could only hope I measured up.
“You are so incredibly beautiful.” He descended slowly, crouching on the bed until he kneeled between my legs. He spread my thighs wide, and I grew even wetter.
“You don’t have to—” I lost all thought when his mouth covered my sex. He licked me, tracing my folds and finding my clit with ease.
He licked and stroked until I was completely undone, my hands twisted in the sheets. If he didn’t slow down, I was going to come and come hard. I’d never been so turned on in my life. I tried to squirm away from his touch, to ease the sensation when he trapped my thighs, holding me still.
“No,” he ordered, his eyes glittering with barely suppressed need. “Take it, Tessa. Take all of it.”
I opened my mouth to reply when he found me once again, his lips like silk between my thighs. This time he added a thick finger, plunging inside me while he clamped my clit in a firm kiss.
I gasped his name, my hips following his lead, unable to stop the need for more contact. “Please, Marcus. Please,” I cried as my climax sailed closer.
He quickened his finger, plunging faster while his mouth did the same. He nipped at my clit and thrust a second digit into me.
