He smiled playfully as he grabbed the material at his back and heaved the shirt off in one swoop.“Now you.”

His fingers brushed under her shirt.Tentative yet sensual.

A lump formed in her throat.God, she wanted him.Every part of him.Even though her chest quivered as guilt gnawed inside her.She needed to do this.

She wiggled to the edge of his knee and slipped the shirt over her head.Uncertainty made her head swim.She grabbed his shoulders to keep herself from teetering over, her gaze on his smooth, muscled chest.

Quin’s sharp intake of breath made her lift her lashes.

“You’re incredible,” he said on a whisper.

His fingers brushed over her nipples, and she sunk her teeth into her bottom lip.If she wasn’t careful, this would be over too quickly.

If she was going to do something so darn reckless, she’d have to savor every second.

Because there was no way in hell she could do this again.

CHAPTER 10

Lord almighty, hewanted her.Had always wanted her.Quin dropped his gaze to Josie’s full breasts, their pink tips tight and waiting for his mouth.The glow from her phone on the dresser filled the ceiling, and light rained down on the bed and her perfect, lithe body.

She sat perched on his quad muscle as if ready to bolt.That wasn’t how this was supposed to go.He brought his focus to her face.Her warm brown eyes were soft and hesitant but also hungry as fuck.Her lips parted slightly, enough for him to fit the tip of his thumb between her teeth if he wanted.

He couldn’t move too fast.He brought his hand to the indent of her waist.“This okay?”His voice came out on a growl—not angry but tenser than necessary.He swallowed to rid himself of the gravel in his throat.

She nodded.

“You look scared.”He smiled, but it was forced.Who was he kidding?He was damn terrified.Not knowing what Josie was thinking—mainly of him at the moment—made his insides curdle with anxiety.

Her gaze lowered.She might not be gung ho yet, but the fact that she wasn’t trying to cover herself and sat as confident as a peacock on his lap with her tits out made admiration swell inside him.Or maybe it just made him horny.

Either way, he was into it.

“Not scared.”She caught his wrist and slid his hand up to cover her breast.

Holy hell, he loved her sexuality.Her satiny skin filled his palm and he just about came in his pants.His eyes grew heavy as he weighed her gently then brought the edge of his thumb to her nipple.

“I just don’t want this to go too fast,” she continued.

She stretched out her hand and dragged her fingers over his six-pack.His insides clenched and he let out a choked laugh.

He cupped the back of her head.“Honey, I could do this all night.”He caught her side with his free hand and dragged her closer to his chest.

She pressed her palms against his jaw, and he watched her cheeks turn pink.“So could I.”She shifted her weight and swung her leg over his hip so she straddled him.

“Ah, Christ,” he breathed, as her crotch nestled against his.He caught her ass in his hands as her nipples pressed into his pecs, the hard little nubs making him go crazy.

He wrapped his arm around her back, stood, and laid her on the bed.Bringing his mouth to her neck, he kissed her, tasted her sweet, floral flavor.She moaned and fisted her fingers in his hair.Her hips bucked against his thigh and need drove him to the brink of insanity.

His dick, already hard and pleased by the warm welcome, grew infinitely solid.She’d asked not to go fast and all he wanted to do was rip off what remaining clothes she wore and fuck her till she screamed—then go for round two.

Instead, he placed his mouth on the delicate skin of her collarbone.She let out a weak moan, her fingers moving at the back of his neck.He kissed his way down her chest to her full, fuckable tits.Catching her breasts in his palms again, he buried his face between them.God, it was so good to touch her as if he had the luxury to anytime.

Josie’s deep, throaty laugh reached his ears.She kicked her leg in frustration.“Quin,” she squeaked, her voice small.

He chortled.“Sorry, I’ll continue with what I was doing.”His lips grazed their way down her breastbone to her flat abdomen.Stopping at her belly button, he kissed the skin beneath it then caught her pants in his fists.

His gaze drifted up her body, and he locked eyes with her.Her lips were full, her cheeks stained pink.Her hair billowed around her shoulders.So goddamn beautiful a twinge of pain struck his heart.
