God, he couldn’t remember ever wanting a woman like this.He considered himself a gentleman, and he always tried to ensure his partners were satisfied, but this was different.Right now, nothing in the world meant more than Natalie’s pleasure.
Taking his time, he slowly, gently explored her, reveling in every sharp breath, every hum, every twitch, learning her most intimate secrets and hoarding them away like a dragon with a stash of gold.
“Ford,” Nat whispered, writhing above him, one hand locked onto the headboard.
He let loose then, moving faster, working her harder, stroking a finger deep inside her body to elicit a needy groan that made his dick painfully hard.
Her free hand softly gripped his hair, and he moaned into her slick skin, more turned on than he could ever remember.What was it about this woman that made him so wild?Made him want to spend the rest of his life right here, watching her unravel?
“Ford.”She gasped, locked up, and squeezed her eyes shut, her breath coming hard and fast, sexy little whimpers escaping her lips.
Jesus, had he ever seen anything more beautiful than Natalie Nygaard-Brown coming on his face?
She shuddered and then jerked her hips back, sadly out of reach, grinning as she looked down at him, her short hair shadowing her pretty face.“Oh, myGod.”
His chest swelled.“Passable?”
Laughing, she released the headboard and gave him a light swat on the hip.“Don’t play ignorant.”
He shook his head.“No, ma’am.”Staring into her eyes, he wished he could capture this moment for eternity.The wanton, satisfied look of her, the heat in her gaze, the way she draped herself above him, without a shred of self-consciousness that he could see.“You want another round?”he asked, urging her hips closer.
Shaking her head, she shifted back and lowered herself to kiss him on the mouth.“I want you.”She reached down and stroked him firmly through his jeans.
His eyes nearly rolled back in his head, but he had the wherewithal to grab her wrist before he embarrassed himself.“Hold that thought.”
Setting her aside so he could stand nearly killed him, but—careful to avoid the crossbeam—he found a condom in his duffle bag and made sure it was in good shape.Tossing it on the bed, he shucked his clothes as fast as possible while she positioned herself to watch, eyeing him with a speculative gleam that made him even hotter.
She laughed.“What’s your hurry?”
“Have you seen you?”Climbing over her, he kissed her hard and deep.“Got any preferences?”
Her blue eyes sparked with heat, the small burst of gold around her pupils glittering.“Just you.Inside me.Now.”
Yes, please.“What about your shoulder?”The last thing he wanted was to hurt her.
Grabbing the condom, she held it out to him.“Flat on my back, just like this, is perfect.”
Didn’t have to tell him twice.He quickly sheathed himself and lined up his body to rub himself against her clit.
She sucked in a breath at the contact, her face flushing.“Tease.”
He bit back a smile.“Have I told you how beautiful you are?”
“Maybe.”Her hips shifted and he slipped several inches inside her body.
Freezing in place while his brain nearly short-circuited, he waited to make sure her movement had been intentional.“You are,” he whispered, probably revealing too much as he continued.“Smart, brave, and sexy as fuck.”
She made an impatient little noise in her throat and moved to take him deeper, grabbing his buttocks with her good hand.“Then fuck me, Ford.Now.”
Who knew missionary position could be so freaking hot?Natalie could barely catch her breath as Ford began to move, stoking her pleasure with every thrust.His enticingly hard body worked gloriously above her, muscles bunching and gliding in a mesmerizing dance.
She stroked his steely buttocks, traced the tight muscles along his spine, her hand stuttering over the scar from his old knife wound.Her fault.Except he blamed himself.
What a pair they were.
Moving on before he realized where her thoughts had gone—and forcing her own focus back to the moment, to the delicious feel of him inside her—she lifted her hand to caress the eye-catching dent in his triceps.“You’re pretty damn hot yourself.”
Sweat slicked his back and dotted his forehead.Lowering himself halfway, he gave her a too-short kiss and pressed up again, the display of strength making her belly tingle.“Just hot?”He leaned back and slowed his thrusts, giving her a ridiculous show of rippling abs and bulging biceps while also making her feel amazing.
