Arousal churned inside Zac, becoming thicker and tarter.He’d been fantasizing about this woman for months, dreaming of getting her right where she was—underneath him.But she was hurting and vulnerable.He stroked his tongue slowly across her pounding pulse.When it came right down to it, all he wanted was to take care of her.
In any way she needed.
“Why not?”He nudged aside the neck of her T-shirt with his nose and blew softly into the dip at the base of her throat.She swallowed convulsively, and the movement stroked her neck against the side of his cheek.
So quiet, yet so seductive.
She let out a frustrated breath.“Have you been paying any attention at all today?”
“Oh, baby.I always pay attention.”Especially where she was concerned.He let his hand drop to her waist.Her lungs were pumping now.He could feel the exaggerated motion of her rib cage under his thumb.
“Zac.”Dropping the sheet, she caught his arm.Her fingers dug into his biceps, but she didn’t push him away.
“You need to turn off that brain of yours,” he whispered.“You need to sleep.It’s been a long day.”
“I can’t.I can’t stop thinking.”
He kissed her again, only this time it wasn’t slow and soft.The hunger bubbled up in him, and he ate at her mouth.Taking and tasting.Dipping his tongue deep.“Yes, you can, and I know how to make you.”
He knew what would stop the spinning of her brain.He’d done it earlier today, and he relished the challenge of doing it again.Letting his weight drop onto her, he raked his teeth across her lower lip.He knew how to draw her out of her own head.He knew how to reduce her to her base needs—to just feel, respond and demand pleasure.
Because she did the same to him.
She moaned when he pulled down the sheet and wrapped his hand around her breast.
The contact was full, firm and possessive.He ran his thumb deliberately over her nipple.The cotton T-shirt was soft, and he could feel her delicate nub stiffening and pushing towards him.He rewarded it with a flick of his nail.“You took my breath away at the pool tonight.”
She squirmed as he squeezed her.“I didn’t mean to…Oh!”
“To turn me on?”He chuckled, the sound getting stuck in his tightening throat.“You did.”
Her eyelids were heavy as she looked up at him.
“You were natural and free.”He kissed his way down her temple and fondled her intimately.“Naked and gorgeous.”
He molded their mouths together again as his thumb and forefinger pinched her nipple.Her entire body arched into the kiss, and she clutched at his sides, then his back and lower.
She wasn’t thinking now.
He grunted as her hands settled on his ass.“So mind-blowingly uninhibited,” he rasped.
She went still underneath him.
Damn it.
For a moment, Zac thought he’d done it again, like he had this morning in the kitchen.He pulled back to look at her, but what he saw in her face wasn’t what he expected.Her eyes were so dark the moonlight gave them no color whatsoever.
When her lips moved, the words weren’t even a whisper.“Not timid?”
Timid?“Hell no.”
Timid was the last thing she’d been and apparently the last thing she planned on being.
When she came at him, Zac almost wasn’t ready.Her body surged as she pressed against him.Her lips were hot on his and herhands… Good God, her touch was everywhere.On his ass, digging into his lower back and raking across his shoulders.
She was suddenly on fire, and her spark set him off too.
He anchored her to the mattress with his hips and a knee high between her legs.She rubbed against him needily, nearly sending him over the edge.His cock was lodged between them, and he felt every shift and wiggle.
