Wasn’t it?
The slam of a door snapped her out of her spiraling thoughts.She glanced up and realized they were entering another room—his bedroom, no doubt.She hadn’t even noticed how far they’d walked.
Her breath caught as she looked around, trying to ground herself.But her thoughts refused to settle, turning instead toward the idea of what marriage with Max might be like.She didn’t know, but if she were honest with herself… she was intrigued.
Still, wasn’t this all moving too fast?Shouldn’t they talk first?Shouldn’t they—
“Max, maybe we should…!”she began, but he ripped off his dress shirt.Literally – the buttons ricocheted against something Lexie didn’t have a chance to investigate because he took one of her hands and placed it on his chest.
“Wow!”she whispered, shocked by the rippling muscles that bulged against his chest, arms, shoulders and…lower!
Max’s heavy hands rested against her hips while she explored, letting her fingers slide over the ridges of muscles.It was too fascinating to ignore.Leaning closer, she breathed in his scent.Max was hot and spicy with a heavy dose of danger.Was that what lured her in?His danger?Or was there something more?Something she didn’t understand.
“Who have you been with over the past year, Lexie?”he demanded.
“No one,” she replied honestly, letting her nose drift against his skin.The man was intoxicating!The light coating of hair tickled, but it wasn’t enough.She nipped at his nipples, feeling his control just under the surface.She didn’t like that control.Was that what had made him so appealing?Deciding it was something to explore, Lexie decided to try and test the theory.Could she make Max lose control?
“No one?”he growled, tangling his fingers in her hair and pulling her head back so he could look into her eyes.
“No one, Max,” she replied, enjoying the feeling of his bare skin under her fingertips.As she stared up into his eyes, her hands explored his chest.She teased his nipples and, because she was watching him so intently, she caught the way his jaw tightened and felt his erection throb against her stomach.With a wicked smile, Lexie touched him again.And again!
“Vuoi giocare?”he growled, his arm tightening around her waist and he tugged her head back further.You want to play?
“Yes,” she whispered.Yes, she desperately wanted to play.
He kissed her deeply.His mouth was ravenous, his tongue teasing hers, his teeth nipping at her lips when she didn’t respond fast enough.
She couldn’t stop touching him.Her fingers trailed over his smooth chest, his firm shoulders, then down his arms and back up again.Every inch of him felt like steel, all hard muscles and interesting ridges.
“Lexie,” he groaned and pulled her into his arms.
He laid her on his bed, looming over her as he pushed her top up and out of his way.He kissed one nipple and she moaned, her back arching as her fingers dove into his hair.His mouth was hot and his tongue did something that caused lightning bolts of need to shoot directly to her groin.Her body throbbed with urgent desire as she held his head to her breast.When he nipped at her nipple, Lexie gasped as the molten lust inside her intensified.
“More!”she whispered, writhing desperately against him.
Then he pulled away and Lexie gasped, shocked that he would bring her to this level of need, then deny her.
“What are you doing?”she gasped, pushing up on her elbows.
Lexie could see the heat, the determination, smoldering in Max’s eyes as he knelt at the end of the bed.He slid his hands up her jean clad legs and, with deft fingers, released the button and lowered the zipper.Watching his face, Lexie thought that Max looked like he was unwrapping a present.His eyes never left her body as he slid her jeans down, his fingers hooking her panties on the way down.She was nearly naked, wearing only the lacy bra.Max tossed the jeans away and stood, taking in the picture she made.
“Max,” she whispered, wanting his touch back.Her body was aching, desperate now.
He paused only long enough to strip off the rest of his own clothes, then nearly ripped the lacy bra, flinging it over his shoulder as he came up on the bed and pulled her into his arms.
The first moment when their naked bodies touched, everywhere, was a shock!It felt so right, so perfect.Every inch of her slid against his hard body, his erection pressing against her stomach and she gasped, pressing against him, feeling more of his skin against hers.It was divine!
Then he kissed her again.But his mouth only lingered on hers for a moment before moving to her neck.She arched against him, her fingers trailing over the muscles in his back.But he didn’t linger there and Lexie braced herself, knowing what was coming next.But even that knowledge couldn’t help her when his mouth captured her nipple again.It was both too much and not enough.He sucked at the aching peak, drawing another cry from her.Lexie wrapped her legs around his waist, arching against him, trying to find some relief.
When his mouth found her other nipple, Lexie felt as if she might just lose her mind.The pleasure was so intense, it was nearly overwhelming.But she didn’t want it to stop.Desire burned inside of her and she writhed.“Don’t stop!”she gasped when his mouth moved to her stomach.She wanted his mouth back on her breast, but then she felt his hands push her legs wide.
“I don’t…,” she began, but before she could get the next word out, his mouth found that nub.She moaned, shifting against his eager mouth.Her fingers dove into his hair, guiding him, her hips lifting, pressing against his shockingly talented mouth.
There was nothing for her to do.Max had bared her, spread her wide and taken control of her body.When his tongue flicked against that nub, she screamed, moaning as her body exploded with her first release.This…this was so much better than those lonely nights alone with just her thoughts of what it might be like with Max.
His mouth softened, his tongue caressing gently now before finally pulling away once her tremors eased.
She stared up at him, breathless and too stunned to speak.She nearly cried when she noticed he was still fully erect and…rolling protection down that massive beast!Contraception hadn’t even occurred to her so she was relieved to see the condom.
