He rests his palm against my cheek and tips my chin up. I lean into his touch, loving the way it soothes and grounds me, quieting my mind and bringing me a peace I never knew existed until now.
I take a deep breath, trying to process the overwhelming rush of emotions swirling within me. They’re no longer scary or worrying. They feel true, right…real. Red's words touch something deep inside my heart, a place I’ve been guarding, too scared to fail like I have in the past. But with him, I feel safe.I always have.
Overwhelming, uncontrollable desire washes over me and when I meet Red’s eyes, I find them blazing with lust.
I’m not sure who moves first but we meet in the middle, our lips melding together, kissing soft and slow at first then it grows hotter and more passionate as he grabs my hips and moves me into his lap.
“Want you so damn much,” he rasps against my skin as he drags his lips down to my throat.
"Yes…" I breathe. "Please…" I beg, my body no longer feeling like my own.
With an impressive show of strength, Red lifts me in his arms and he pushes up off the couch, crossing the cabin and carrying me toward the bed, kissing me the whole way.
Lowering me to my feet, he walks me backward until my knees hit the mattress and I fall onto it, pulling him down with me.
His body covers mine as he dips his chin, kissing me again, his lips moving soft and slow while the passion ignites between us,burning brighter and hotter than ever before. He teases the seam with his tongue before delving inside, looking for and stroking against mine.
A whirlwind of feelings and emotions circle inside of me, my body no longer feeling like my own. This isn’t about desire and want, it’s fueled by a pure carnal need to be with him. To both lose and find ourselves in one another after so long.
No matter how close we get, it's like it's not enough and it never will be, I cling to him as I pour everything I'm feeling into our connection, loving the way he's not holding back. This is the real Red, the one that he's buried deep for so many years. Just knowing that I'm the one bringing him back to life is a heady feeling that I'm not sure I'll ever get used to.
He sits up and straddles my hips, moving his hands to my top and removing it quickly as his mouth traces every inch of skin he reveals. Holding himself up over me, his hungry gaze roams over my body like a soft caress that has me heating up from the inside out and squirming under his attention. Even if I wanted to, there’s no stopping the soft moan that escapes my lips.
“You’re so damn beautiful. All mine too,” he murmurs before leaning down and taking my mouth again, groaning as his hands start to roam, cupping my breast and rolling his thumb over the sensitive skin. “I don’t know where to start. Just know I won’t want to stop when I do.”
“I don’t want you to stop,” I breathe, desperate to feel more of him, my body burning up as every second passes. “Anywhere, anythin’. Just want you.Needyou," I rasp, looping my arms over his shoulders to tug him back down for another kiss.
Now that the dam has broken, it's like I can't get enough. I want to do everything to Red and for him to do the same to me, claiming every inch of my body while he does it.
Needing his skin on mine, I move my hands to his pajama top, my fingers shaking as I undo the buttons and reveal his tanned furred chest. He kisses me the whole time I do it, first on my mouth, then my neck after dragging his lips over my jaw to get there.
The air around us is filled with the sounds of labored breathing and rasping moans, the muted sound of the storm outside no longer registering. Nothing else matters except the two of us in this bed.
Red’s rumbling growl shoots through me when he throws his shirt away and pushes me back down into the mattress with his body cloaking mine, letting me feel every delectable inch of him.
When he rolls his hips, his hard length rubs against me, and I swear I almost levitate off the bed.
"Need you naked. Want you bare to me, Mags," he murmurs running his lips across my collarbone and down between my breasts. "Don't want anythin' between us, not now, not ever."
A snicker escapes me, making his eyes lift to meet mine. The wicked grin curving his lips so sexy it sends a shiver through me from my head to my toes.
“You goin’ to strip me down then Redmond?” I muse, loving the comfort and familiarity between us.
His mouth quirks up on the side making one of his dimples come out to play. “You bet I am. First time in my bed, first timetogether, there’s no way you’re takin’ that privilege away from me, darlin’.”
He pushes up so he can straddle me again, my eyes locked on the tempting bulge in his pants. My mouth waters. I want to explore him, taste his skin, find out what makes him groan and growl. I want him to be as crazy with lust as I am right now.
His hands snake around my ribs, his eyes flashing as he takes me in. I go to cover my breasts but a click of his tongue has me stopping in my tracks. “Don’t hide yourself from me, Mags. There ain’t a single part of you that I don’t like,” he says before sliding his fingers through my hair and crushing his lips to mine again as if to prove his point.
Our tongues stroke and circle each other, whimpers and groans vibrating between us, driving my need for the man higher and higher.
When we tear apart for some much-needed air, his hooded eyes roam over my face. His rough knuckles pull against my sensitive skin as he drags his hand down ever-so-gently between the valley of my chest.
My heart beats so hard I’m not sure I’ll survive any more than this.But gosh what a way to go…
His gaze locks with mine and I no longer care. All I know is that I want more—no, I crave it.
Something snaps within him and he dives down, wrapping his lips around my nipple like a man obsessed. He swirls his tongue before drawing deep, my hips moving of their own volition against him, my whole being desperately seeking contact with every part of him.
