“You’re still wearing way too much.”
He flashed her one of those killer smiles.“So are you.”He lifted his bum from the bed.“Let’s see who’s naked first.”
Before she even had time to unbutton her pants, Becket’s jeans were flying through the air.He wasn’t wearing anything underneath.Her breath left her body in one whoosh.Wow.She hadn’t been the only one without underwear.
Grinning, he touched her face.“Like what you see?”
Nodding, she put out a hand and touched him.Soft.Velvet.It grew.Pleased with herself, she looked at him.“It likes me.”
Barking out a laugh, he pulled her down so that she was lying next to him.Lifting himself on one elbow, he looked down at her.“It certainly does.”With a feather touch, his hand skimmed over her body until he reached the button of her pants.“You’re so, so beautiful.”
Slipping her arms around his neck, she smiled.“At this point I don’t even mind the corny line.”
Frowning, he undid the button of her pants.“As you can see and feel, it’s no corny line.I want you, Ellie Campbell, more than I’ve ever wanted anyone else.Hang on.”
As she clung to him, he got rid of her pants.When she fell back again, all she was left wearing was the white satin-and-lace triangle.
“Damn, Ellie,” he got out, as his hands cupped her breasts before they slid further down her body.“I’m a dead man,” he murmured, lowering his head.As his mouth closed around one hardened nipple, his hand drew small circles on her skin, heating her blood along the way as it slowly moved lower and lower.
She was so ready for him, by the time he got rid of the last hindrance and cupped her, she exploded.With a cry, she grabbed hold of his shoulders while a wild current simply swept her away.
In that moment, her heart burst open, and she knew.In spite of her resolve, she’d gone and done the stupidest of things.
She’d fallen in love with Becket Weston.

In awe, Becketlooked down at the beautiful creature in his arms.She was so responsive, so in tune with his movements, he’d nearly lost it while trying to pleasure her.To see her come undone in his arms was a sight to behold.
When she finally opened her eyes, he bent down, catching her lips with his.“I’ve never seen anything so beautiful,” he murmured before he deepened the kiss.
Within seconds, the fire roared higher than before, threatening to burn him alive.Desire was a living, breathing animal clawing at his insides.In vain he tried to rein in his libido.Her mouth opened, his tongue found its way to the warm, moist depths and he let go.
Gasping for air, he struggled with a condom before he hoisted himself above her.“Look at me?”
She opened her eyes.Liquid sapphire.
With his weight on his arms, his eyes on her, he slowly entered her.As her warmth closed around him, an emptiness he’d been unaware of until now was filled to the brim.For another moment he feasted his eyes on her luscious curves, but he was too eager to pleasure her to wait any longer.
He moved.This was for her, not for him; he should keep the pace slow and steady until she was ready again, but Ellie had other ideas.She wasn’t interested in taking it slow.
Rearing up, she linked her arms around his neck.“Kiss me, cowboy.”
The moment their lips met, he lost control.A wild wind simply picked them up and flung them up a high mountain.Everything else faded, all that he was aware of was Ellie egging him on with her hands, her body, her soft moans.
As they finally crested together, he gathered her close and with her name on his lips, they flew.
How was he ever going to let her go?

Floating in thatsafe space between sleep and being awake, Ellie didn’t want to open her eyes.In this state she didn’t have to think or analyze or make decisions, she could just be.Strange sounds eventually penetrated the perfect hazy condition she’d been enjoying.A cow?Cow?As her eyes flew open, the events of the previous night came crashing down.
Slowly she turned her head.She was alone and… she lifted the sheet covering her body.Naked.Groaning, she slowly sat up, pulling up the sheet.It was just after six, her watch told her; the sun was already up.Oh, my goodness.She was sore in places she didn’t know she had.But last night…
Sighing, she closed her eyes, remembering every moment in Becket’s arms.He was a resourceful lover, patiently teaching her how to make him groan and in turn he’d given her more pleasure than she’d thought was possible.
Of course she’d be alone.Becket had probably left early for work and wouldn’t return until later.
