“I see you’re on a mission,” he said, chuckling.
“Some people say I’m like a Boy Scout, I’m always prepared,” she joked, releasing Ice.
“The motto might stick if you didn’t have to raid your battle buddy’s cabinets in search of them,” he said,shaking his head.
“I recalled taking them out of the grocery bag, and he swiped them out of my hand. His voice came out all funny, and I guessed why he insisted on getting the groceries without me. Between the attack and her having the baby, Kim and Sledge haven’t spent much time together,” she explained.
Ty nuzzled her neck as he untied the belt to her robe. Letting it fall to the floor. He led her to the side of the bed, and she scooted to the middle. He nibbled and caressed the fires he started earlier back to life. The warmth of his touch ran through her.
“Come here,” he whispered, sliding his finger inside her slick center.
She closed her eyes and moved her hips to the rhythm he set. A moan escaped her as a second joined in. His thumb pressed against her nub, making tiny circles.
“I’m watching your face,” he said softly. “Your cheeks have a beautiful flush. I love watching your lips part when I press here.” He curled his fingers, and her mouth opened. “Yes, you have no idea what it does to me.”
Her hand reached out and gripped his shaft. “I can feel it,” she said, pumping and squeezing him.
Ty reached over and grabbed the condom packet. He ripped it open and laid the wrapper on the nightstand.
“May I have it?” she asked, sitting up and holding her hand out.
He placed it in her hand and guided her to his penis. She bit her lip, concentrating on rolling it over him.
“You got it on, what do you want to do now?” he said, his voice going low.
“I want to ride,” she admitted, hoping he didn’t consider her demanding.
Ty positioned her over him. He held his shaft at her entrance as she got comfortable. Sliding down on his cock,she let out a sigh. He held her hips and moved slowly, giving her time to adjust to him.
She moved, grinding on him. Ty rolled her nipples with his fingers, making her moan. She increased her pace and leaned down to kiss him.
“Don’t stop,” Ty commanded gruffly.
Scarlett didn’t answer. Her body convulsed over him, and he shifted, giving her more of his length. She threw her head back as the wave hit and went over the edge. Slowing down, letting the last of the orgasm ebb, she smiled at him.
“My turn,” he said. “Will you be comfortable if you’re on your hands and knees?”
“Yes,” she answered, immediately lifting off him.
He kissed her before moving behind her. Intending to enter her slowly, he lined up at her entrance, and Scarlett pushed against him. Ty took the hint and buried himself inside her heat. The room seemed to grow warmer as he watched her closely, ensuring he didn’t hurt her. She clenched the covers and gave as good as she got. Their bodies slapped against one another in a tug of war. Ty glanced at her to see the different shades of her red hair in the lamp’s light. It resembled a flame, with golden hues melding together with orange and red. Without a doubt, Scarlett sparked something in him he thought he lost a long time ago.
His orgasm rolled over him with his need to claim her as his. As he pulled out to take care of the condom, Scarlett tilted her head and sent him an impish smile. His heart skipped a beat, and he realized it was she who claimed him.
CHAPTER 26
Ty pulledher close and kissed her one last time before leaving.
“I wish you didn’t have to go,” she said, placing a kiss on his chest, next to his heart.
“Get some rest. I’ll pick you up in the morning. My mom wants to meet you,” he said.
“Oh,” she said, surprised.
“I told her it wasn’t a good idea. She heard about you through the town gossip line. Apparently, we’re a hot topic,” he said with some amusement.
“I think we can say we bring the heat,” she shot back.
“We definitely do, Sparky,” he agreed. “Lock the door behind me. Can you be ready by ten? I’ll make us brunch.”
