Until this moment, he’d never allowed himself to even consider the idea of Josie one day being his woman.Although the fantasies had always taunted him, he’d never thought it was in the cards and had forced himself into a hands-off, friends-zone corner.But maybe, just maybe, that could change.
Or this was just some sick game or “lesson from the Universe,” as Josie would say.Either way, she was right—they needed to enjoy every second.He wriggled her pants over her hips, and she lifted her ass as he swept the material down her legs, taking her panties with them.He tossed her clothes to the floor.She kept her knees bent and slightly open, and he dropped his attention to her sex.His palms turned sweaty.
His chest constricted.
She swayed her knees side-to-side in small increments, like a peekaboo show.The movement called him.Her lips worked into a smile and she stretched her fingers toward him.“C’mere.”
He caught her hand and every atom in his body screamed at him to collapse on top of her and take her just like this.But if he only had her in bed once, he was going to make sure she never forgot it.He brought her knuckles to his lips.“In a sec.”He lowered her hand to the mattress at her side and shifted his weight.
She widened her eyes.“What are you—?”
He kissed the inside of her thigh.
“Ohmigod.”
A smile tugged on his lips as he dragged his tongue along her flesh.She tensed, her knees threatening to close, but he hooked his arm under her bent leg and lowered himself down.He reached her glistening folds and need revved against his skull.
Josie arched her back, her eyes squeezed shut, and her hands fisted the blanket at her sides.He stopped the teasing of his mouth on her thigh and rested his temple against the inside of her leg.“Jos,” he said softly.
Slowly, her eyes opened and landed on him.She wet her lips, her chest moving in a fast rhythm.
“Do you want to do this?”God, if she said no, he just might die.
She chuckled, revealing the glossy ridges of her teeth.“More than you know.I just—I’m nervous.”
He caught her fingers with his free hand.“How about you just look at me then?”
She nodded, her eyes still.
He kissed the top of her crest, keeping his eyes on hers.Her chest moved slower now, her gaze watchful and sexy as hell.He flicked his tongue over her clit and her head tilted backward.
“Ah, my gosh,” she whispered.
Her body melted in his hold.He pressed his mouth to her slick heat and slid his tongue over her crevice, tasting her sweet, intoxicating flavor.
Her sharp gasps reached his ears.He cupped his hands around her hips and licked into her with one slow swipe after another.Her legs clutched his shoulders.She bucked her hips, demanding more.
He sucked on her clit and she cried out.He licked in a steady cadence, letting her ride each torrent of her orgasm until her cries turned to raspy moans.He pressed a kiss to her swollen lips then climbed up the length of her slight body.Her hips cradled his as she lifted her legs to perch at his sides, her form now blissed out and content.
He flattened his stomach against hers and framed her face with his hands.“Was that okay?”Jesus, what kind of question was that?He wasn’t looking for a thank-you, only wanted to make sure he hadn’t made her cross an invisible line.
A shy smile touched her mouth.“Nah.It was terrible.You’ll have to try again.”
He let out a roar of laughter.“That I can do.But first...”
He kissed her lips.
Her playful grin fell away and she folded her arms around his neck, hugging him close.He didn’t want to pull away, didn’t want to put a barrier between them, but dammit, he had to respect her at all costs.He pushed himself into a sitting position.
“What are you—”
He reached into his pants pocket, took out his wallet, and removed a condom.Josie made a big O with her lips, and the confusion left her face.He kicked off his pants, rolled on the condom, pushing from his mind the things her parted lips could do to him.
He crawled back between her legs, but she scooted up.Desire flared from her eyes, and her wild hair painted an erotic image.“Lie down,” she said.
When he didn’t move, she pressed her palms into his shoulders.“I said, lie down.”Her light laughter filled the room.God, he’d missed her laugh.He’d missed her fire.More than anything, he’d just fucking missed her.
She straddled him, nestling her delicious body on top of his dick but not inserting it.Her hands played over his midsection, her roaming fingers making his muscles clench.She lifted her hips, then reached down to adjust his junk and sank her heat over him.
