I kiss her.
But the moment she opens her mouth to mine, something breaks loose. All the years of holding back fall away as she moans softly into my mouth. The urge to give all of myself to Maya overwhelms me and excites me, the sensations crashing through my life like a dam bursting.
The lusty sound she makes has my cock standing at attention and aching to be free. My hands find the hem of the hoodie and slide underneath. She gasps into my mouth when my thumbs brush the underside of her breasts through the lace of her bra.
I pull back just enough to look at her—flushed, lips swollen, eyes dark with want. The lace of her bra visible through the gap in the hoodie. My hoodie.
Mywoman.
CHAPTER 6
MAYA
Reed pulls away from our kiss, his breath hot and rapid as he holds my face gently in his hands and looks into my eyes. The ferocity I’ve seen in his eyes as he works to solve everything happening is replaced by a wildness that I want to embrace.
His hands frame my face, thumbs stroking my cheekbones. “What do you want?”
“I want you,” I say, looking up at this man who has made me think maybe I’ve found in him what no other man has shown me—unconditional support and respect.
I tilt my head and kiss him, my tongue pressing against his lips.
His body stills for half a heartbeat, then surrenders with a groan that vibrates through my entire body. His mouth claims mine, demanding everything I have to give. He threads his fingers through my hair and tilts my head back, deepening our kiss and making my knees weak. His other hand is on my back, sliding lower as he pulls my body against his.
I gasp at the full-body contact, vibrating with a need to have him inside me.
“Reed.” I bite his lower lip, and he groans. “I need you.”
He takes my hand and leads me quickly to the main bedroom, kicking the door closed behind us. We stop when we reach the side of the bed, and for a moment, we just stare at each other, breathing hard.
“Maya,” he says, voice rough.
Then his mouth crashes into mine, and his hands are everywhere. He unzips the hoodie and reaches for me, his hands gliding over my ribs, my waist, the curve of my breasts through my bra. I arch into his touch, desperate for more.
“This.” He pushes the hoodie off me, his eyes filled with a fire that matches my desire. “Off. All of it. Now.”
The command floods my core with a white-hot heat. I reach for my bra clasp, fumbling to undo it. The cool air hits my skin for a second before his hands cover me, and I gasp at the contact.
“You are so gorgeous.” He backs me toward the bed. His mouth trails hot down my throat, and I shiver as his teeth scrape my sensitive skin.
I fumble with his belt, hands shaking. “I need—Reed, I can’t think when you—”
He makes a sound between a laugh and a groan. “Good. Don’t think. Just feel.”
He helps me with the buckle. He strips fast. When we’re both finally done, he pauses, gaze raking over me with an intensity that makes me feel more naked than just skin. With Reed, I haveno hesitation like I have with other men. Reed looks at my heavy body like he’s never seen anything so perfect, and he makes me believe it.
“You are so fucking beautiful.” His rough voice scrapes over my skin, and I shiver with anticipation.
He lowers me to the bed, covering my body with his. The slide of skin on skin is overwhelming, every nerve ending firing at once. His hard, thick cock presses against my thigh, and I squirm with the need to feel him moving inside me.
“Patience.” He catches my wrists and pins them above my head with one hand. “I’ve wanted you since we got here. I’m taking my time.”
I wrap my legs around his waist, trying to pull him where I need him. “I need you now,” I moan, pushing my hips against Reed’s body, my core yearning to feel his cock inside me.
“What you need,” his free hand slides down my body, between my thighs, “is this first.”
His fingers find me wet and ready. He groans against my throat. “Jesus, Maya. You’re soaked.”
“It’s what you do to me,” I gasp, my back arching off the bed as he slowly circles my clit and teases me. “Please—”
