Harmony leaned forward again, but this time, she didn’t want him close to hold her tight and promise to keep her safe.This time, she wanted him to kiss her until she forgot everything.Until the world outside his door ceased to exist.
Her lips landed on his, and he opened his in surprise.The small sound that popped out of him had her retreating, but he wasn’t having that.
Oh, no.It took all of half a second for Damien to take control and chase her as she attempted to pull back.His tongue delved into her mouth and demanded she answer him.
She scraped her nails over his scalp, loving the feel of his short hair against her fingertips, and loving the sound he made even more.His fingers tightened on her thighs, drawing them apart so he could get closer to her and notch himself between.
He tugged her to the edge of the chair and growled when his erection met her heated core.He tore away from their kiss with a hissed curse and rested his forehead on her shoulder.“I’m sorry.Fuck.I got carried away again.”
“Don’t stop,” she whispered.
“Harmony.”Her name was a plea and a warning at the same time.
“Please, Damien.I know what I’m doing.I want you.I want to forget the outside world, but I want you to help me forget.I want you, not just an escape, you.”
“I need you to be sure, Harmony, because once I have you in my bed, it’s going to be impossible to let you out.”
“Promise?”
The slow smile that lifted his lips was sinfully sexy.Like a man who knew exactly what he wanted, and was not afraid to get it, he made her panties even wetter and her body pulse with desire.
“Take me to bed, Damien,” she whispered.
He surged to his feet, scooping her up in the process.
“You’re going to hurt yourself!Put me down.”
“Fuck no.”Damien growled, stalking across his home to the bedroom across the hall from hers.He hit the lights with his elbow, soft lighting illuminating the entire room and showing her his most intimate space.
It was brighter than she expected.No dark and moody furniture for Damien Joseph.His bed was a light wood frame with white sheets and a light gray and white plaid comforter.Two nightstands and a dresser near the window matched the bed.Navy curtains covered the window, blocking all light from outside.An open door revealed a walk-in closet that was neat and organized.Another door led to a bathroom.
All Harmony’s focus was on the bed, though.And the man gently laying her onto it.Damien followed her down, covering her body with his and making space for himself between her thighs.
Fuck, even with their clothes between them, he was hitting the right spot.The man knew how to use his body, and how to tease hers.
He brushed her hair back and looked at her, keeping himself above her as he stared at her.She braced herself for him to ask her again if she was sure.If she really wanted him.
She didn’t want him to question her again.She wanted him to tell her she was beautiful and to want her as much as she wanted him.
“You’re gorgeous,” he whispered, leaning down to drop a tender kiss on her lips.“I’ve wanted you since the day you cut in front of me in line at Sunrise Brews.”
She snorted.“You didn’t even notice me.”
“I was lost in my pre-caffeinated fog.I didn’t notice anything.But the moment you stepped in front of me, I noticed you.”
“Then I guess it was a good thing I did it.”
“For me, hell yes.It brought you into my life.”
“Damien.”Her voice caught in her throat, his name coming out like a whispered sob.
He didn’t give her a chance to let those emotions sink in.He sealed his lips over hers and let her feel his weight.She parted her lips and slicked her tongue along his lips, sighing happily when he granted her access and took advantage of the same.
They kissed like that, his body on top of hers, both of them fidgeting to find the right place to maximize their pleasure.One hand eased up her side and captured her hand, drawing it up over her head.His other hand skimmed the edge of her stomach, teasing her shirt up until he found her bare skin.
Harmony sucked in a breath, tensing her belly against his touch.
Damien dragged his lips to her ear and whispered, “You are beautiful.So sexy.I want to see all of you, Harmony.Will you let me see you?”
