“I intend to make love to you all night.”
“Promise?” she asked, fearing that this would be the only time they would have together and wanting to make the most of it.
Burke ran his hand down the length of her, settling faintly between her legs. “I promise.”
Storm moaned with pleasure when his fingers intimately explored her, and she was soon lost in a haze of passion that she wanted to linger in forever.
When his playfulness became too much she reached down and took hold of him. “I’ll have you now.”
Burke grazed his lips over hers. “Are you sure?”
“Do not tease,” she protested. “I know what I want and I want you.”
He nibbled at her bottom lip and then down along her neck to settle on her hard nipple. Then he rose over her like a majestic bird about to take flight and entered her with a tenderness that startled her more than if he had plunged into her.
“We fit,” he whispered in her ear before he settled into a steady rhythm that grew with each mounting thrust.
She grabbed hold of his shoulders and threw back her head, enjoying the cadence they set together. It flooded her body and soul, and she rode the rhythm until it peaked.
“Burke!” she breathed hard in his ear. “Oh God, Burke,” she exclaimed as she climaxed as she had never thought possible, the ripples of pleasure going on and on and on.
He collapsed on her almost simultaneously and she hugged him to her, wanting to keep him as close to her as possible.
She regretted when he rolled off her though he kept his body beside her. He took her hand in his to kiss it before laying their clasped hands on his chest.
Their encounter had been far from brief and yet she felt it was far too short. She wanted more, much more, and the thought concerned her, though for now she chose not to think about it.
“Damn, woman, but you’re a great lover,” he said with bated breath.
She smiled. “You’re not bad yourself.”
“We’re a match then.” He kissed her hand again.
A thunderclap startled her, and she jumped.
Burke turned and took her in his arms. “No need to worry. I’ll keep you safe and warm, since, of course, you’ll be staying the night.”
“I’m not going anywhere until dawn.”
He grinned. “That’s good because I planned on holding you hostage if you had thought otherwise.”
She laughed. “You think you could have held me prisoner?”
Burke shook his head, his grin wide. “Oh, sweetheart, I know exactly how to keep you prisoner.”
She giggled and snuggled against him. “You’ll have to show me how.”
“All night. I’ll show you all night.”
They laughed and kissed and teased until once again, their passion flared and they were lost in a haze of lovemaking. It continued all night, and when dawn finally peeked over the horizon, Storm fell soundly asleep in Burke’s loving arms.
Storm was the first to stir, then Burke, and they greeted each other with smiles.
“What a lovely night, with a lovely woman,” Burke said.
“Such romantic words,” Storm said, trying to keep reality away for just a while longer.
“You haven’t seen anything yet.”
