“Here.”
His fingers dropped and grazed her breast, sending a thousand little bursts of fire shooting through her. She pressed into his touch but he moved his hand. Downward. It brushed against her belly, flitted around to her backside. All the while, he kept his contact feather-soft. Want and need collided within her until she couldn’t think straight.
He leaned closer, his breath heating her neck. “And here.”
When his palm pressed between her legs, a moan caught in her throat. He began to pull away, but she grabbed his hand and held it in place.
“Don’t stop.”
He let out a growl and tugged her against him, his fingers splayed against her sex.
With trembling fingers, she set her hands on his chest. Ran them down along solid muscles. Stopped at the fold of fabric holding his towel in place. Her thumb slipped beneath it, tangling in damp curls. He rocked his hips into her and she gasped at the bold contact of his erection.
She closed her hand around it, tugging against the towel until it came loose and fell to the floor.
“Red.”
His lips crushed against hers.
Chapter Twenty-Nine
Samantha twined herarms around Christian’s neck as he kissed her with an intensity rivaling the storm outside. He pressed against her so hard the momentum sent them backward. She fought to keep up with the greedy laps of his tongue as she bumped into the windowsill.
Mist from the heavy downpour clung to her while his hands rubbed up her side. He sucked on her bottom lip and tugged at the buttons of her blouse. She dropped one hand down his back until it rested on one carved buttock. God, he was all strength.
When she squeezed, he groaned and yanked hard, sending buttons clattering across the floor. His lips left hers as he pulled back and gazed at her bared breasts.
“Beautiful.”
With a growl, he leaned them out the window and she clung to him once more. Rain pelted her face and ran in rivulets down her chest. He followed the watery trail with his mouth and her head fell back. His mouth closed hot and wet around one nipple and she cried out, the sound lost in the storm.
Branches clashed above them in the wind and the sky lit in flashes of white and blue. All that energy. Nothing compared to what raged inside her.
The hard length of him pressed between her parted legs as she wrapped them around his waist. With nothing but the fabric of her breeches between them, a wicked heat spread from the intimatecontact. She craned her neck to the side, but her thigh obscured the view.
When Christian released one nipple and moved to the other, her hands began slipping on his slick skin. He tightened his grip, one palm coming to rest between her shoulders. She took advantage of the stability and slid a hand between their bodies. Soft velvet and solid steel brushed against her fingertips a moment later and she marveled at the contradictions.
With one thrust, he pushed himself fully into her hand. Closing around it, she moved up and down along the length. He wrenched his head away with a moan and pulled them back inside. His hands moved to her bottom, holding her tight against him as he spun to lean against the wall.
Samantha pressed her lips to his collarbone, grazing her teeth across his skin and he throbbed in her fingers. Leaning back, she glanced down. His hips rocked a slow rhythm as he slid himself back and forth in her grip. Her forehead dipped against his chest. Was it her imagination, or did he swell ever so slightly each time her hand reached the base?
What would he do if she kissed him there?
He bent to her ear. “What are you thinking?”
“On the beach...” She trailed off as he nibbled her earlobe. “What you did to me...”
A soft hum came in response.
“Can a woman do that to a man?”
He went still. “Yes.”
“I’d like to.”
His head fell back, bumping into the wall, and he stared at the ceiling. “I’m not sure I could bear it, Red.”
But he dropped her to her feet, running his fingertips up and down her back. She copied the movement with her free hand and his eyes drifted shut. Her pulse began to hammer out an erratic tune as shetilted her head and kissed above one flat nipple.
