I already know it’s a mistake as I pull him into the room, shutting the door behind us, but that’s life.
The best things are always terribly messy.
“Are they sleeping okay?” I ask as I work off his shirt.
His hands are already on my hips, rough fingers running over the silky material.
“Out like lights. Wasn’t hard after I told them a few more stories about my trip to Kona.”
“Good.” I tilt my head back as he kisses my neck, his lips branding me.
My room is farther away from theirs, at the other end of the house.
“Holy shit, don’t stop.”
“Not on your life,” he growls.
And he pushes me back until my knees hit the bed, my legs buckle, and I fall backward.
His large body eclipses mine, and his mouth smothers my lips until I’m deliciously dizzy, ready to lose myself in the dark silk heat of his passion.
I’m already a little lost.
I dig my fingers into his hair, urging his mouth to my breasts.
He goes down sucking, tongue hot and ready, teasing me through the opening in my robe.
“Love this robe. Easy access,” he whispers. “Did you wear it for me, duchess? For this?”
I try to answer, but the way he pulls my nipple with his teeth renders me speechless.
“I… I thought it’d be faster.”
“Didn’t ask about fast. I asked if you wore it for me, woman.” He flicks his tongue over my nipple again and I gasp.
“What do you think?”
“I think you’ve been waiting with your greedy little pussy, counting down every second.”
I laugh at how ridiculous this is.
He’s an ex-hockey star with two innocent kids sleeping down the hall, and we have a freaking psycho out there who might not be done with the house.
Yet the only thing I can think about is his touch.
“Are you wet for me, duchess? Tell me,” he demands, sliding a hand down my belly.
“Maybe,” I lie.
Lame.
Like my body isn’t just one big pulsing cactus, full of needles and so, so thirsty.
“It’s only fair. You put me through two whole hours of hell downstairs during that movie. Had to keep my dick on a leash,” he rasps, tearing my robe fully open.
Yes, I’m naked underneath.
He rumbles his appreciation.
