And now he was sitting next to me on my couch, my children sound asleep with full bellies and smiling faces in their beds, and I actually felt happy. For the first time in a very long time, the fog of sadness had lifted.
I couldn’t let him get away.
So I leaned forward and did what I was thinking of doing all day long.
I turned his face toward mine and kissed him.
CHAPTER FOUR
Shaw
The beautiful womanI couldn’t keep my eyes off all day kissed me. She actually kissed me. And goddamn, was it magical.
A spark ran through me, awakening every part of my body, and I wanted more. I craved more. Ineededmore.
My hand cupped her cheek before sliding into her hair and grasping the back of her neck, holding her tighter against me as I deepened our kiss. A groan slipped from her mouth as I nearly devoured her. She tasted sweet, chocolate mixed with a fruity taste, and it was like a drug, one I could endlessly overdose on.
Adilene groaned again, and I couldn’t stand it any longer. Letting go of her neck, I moved closer to her on the couch and pulled her onto my lap, her legs straddling me, her warm core rubbing over my thickening erection.
I moaned into her mouth, sliding my tongue inside as my hands gripped her waist, my fingers playing with the hem of her sweater.
We kissed and kissed, and when we finally parted, her head fell back as she gasped for air. “Touch me, Shaw. Touch me everywhere.”
I growled, no longer feeling sweet. An animalistic instinct took over, and my fingers clawed at her sweater as I lifted it over her head and tossed it to the side. Next went her tank top, revealing her lacy red bra, her ample breasts straining against the fabric. Licking my lips and moaning at the same time, I pressed my face between them, rubbing my stubbled cheeks against her soft, plush skin.
My fingers slid up her back to the clasp of her bra and undid it, her breasts spilling out, the bra discarded to the side. I took a moment to appreciate her gorgeousness. Her full, voluptuous curves turned me the fuck on, her large breasts and perky nipples, the soft flesh of her belly, and a few stretch marks from creating life.
“You’re so fucking beautiful. I want to worship the ground you walk on.”
Her breath hitched in her throat, and her cheeks flushed crimson as her eyes connected with mine. “Where did you come from?” she whispered, her voice breathless. “You’re like a gift from heaven that showed up on my doorstep with no warning.”
“Me? A gift from heaven?” I laughed. “You’re too fucking sweet. I’m just a nerdy guy who keeps to himself. But there’s something about you, Adilene.”
“Like my boobs in your face?” Adilene asked, and we both burst into laughter.
“You’re an amazing woman. Watching you with your children and your mother, so kind to them, so patient, I just want to know you. I want you in my life. Even if I’m a bit too old for you.”
“Just shut up and kiss me.”
I laughed before covering her mouth with mine and drowning her in my kiss. Taking her breasts into my hands, I massaged the soft mounds, running my thumbs over her pert nipples. She groaned and arched her back, thrusting more of herself into my large hands. I dipped my head low and took one of her nipples into my mouth, swirling my tongue around and around before sucking on it gently. Adilene moaned louder, her hands falling to my hair as she tugged on the strands, wrapping her fingers around them.
Moving between her breasts, I licked the spot between them, giving each one equal attention between my mouth and hands.
Adilene yanked my hair upward with a small tug and pressed her lips to mine, a heated kiss exploding between us. She pushed my button-down flannel off my shoulders, leaving me in just my tight T-shirt. Her hands reached down and gripped the hem of my shirt, lifting it off.
Leaning back, she drank me in, her eyes setting my skin on fire as she looked me up and down, the bulge in my pants noticeable.
“Holy fuck. Even your body is perfect.” Her hands fell onto my abs and moved over my muscles, up to my pecs and over my shoulders, then down my biceps to my forearms. Her fingers trailed over all of my ink, her tongue licking her lips as she explored my skin.
Red-hot heat flushed my body from head to toe. This woman made me feel so many things, things I’d never felt before, and goddamn did I fucking love it.
When her fingers landed on my belt, she undid the buckle and zipper, sliding one hand beneath the fabric yet over my cotton boxers. She gasped when her fingers traced the outlines of my hard cock, my own breath catching in my throat, my stomach muscles tightening.
“Wow,” Adilene whispered, and I chuckled at her reaction to my large size. She moved her fingers over the top and shaft, tracing the outline over the fabric before finally sliding inside.
The minute her hot little hand connected with my skin, I growled, the sound loud and roaring like a deep rumble from within. “Fuck, I want you so bad.”
“I know. But first, can I taste you?”
