I shut down my computer. Pack business could wait until tomorrow. Tonight, I would answer the call of my heart, even if only for a stolen moment.
Stepping out of my home office, I entered the living room where Krystal and the kids were engrossed in their video game. Laughter and electronic beeps filled the air. I paused, drinking in the sight of my little family, happy and carefree.
"Hey Krystal, I need to go take care of something," I said, grabbing my truck keys off the hook by the door. "I shouldn't be too long."
Krystal waved me off, her attention never leaving the TV screen. "No worries. We'll be fine here. Though you're missing out—I'm totally kicking Bryce's butt at Mario Kart."
Bryce groaned in mock outrage as Krystal's kart sailed past him on screen. "Hey, no fair! I was distracted!"
"Excuses, excuses," Elle teased, elbowing her cousin.
I chuckled, shaking my head fondly at their antics. "Alright, you hooligans. Don't get into too much trouble. I'll see you later."
A chorus of, "Bye," followed me out the door. My wolf stirred restlessly beneath my skin, eager to be near Rissa.
The drive to Gavin's house was short. Before I knew it, I was standing on their front stoop, my heart pounding an erratic rhythm. I raised my hand to knock.
The door swung open, revealing Rissa wrapped in nothing but a short, pink, silk robe. The delicatematerial clung to her curves, leaving little to the imagination. Desire slammed into me like a freight train, derailing any doubts.
Rissa's eyes widened at the sight of me, a faint blush coloring her cheeks. Her long, dark hair tumbled around her shoulders in tousled waves. She looked irresistible like a fantasy come to life.
I didn't say a word. I couldn't. Rendered mute by the strength of my need, I stepped forward, shutting the door firmly behind me. Then I took her face between my hands and captured her lips in a searing kiss.
Rissa groaned against my mouth, winding her arms around my neck and pressing the entire length of her body to mine. I deepened the kiss, my tongue tangling with hers in a sensual dance that left me aching for more. Her fingers threaded through my hair, tugging me even closer.
Lost in a haze of desire, I scooped Rissa into my arms, cradling her against my chest. She let out a surprised gasp that quickly turned into a moan as I carried her down the hallway toward her bedroom.
Kicking the door shut behind us, I crossed the room in a few long strides and lowered Rissa gently onto the bed. She looked up at me with heavy-lidded eyes,her robe falling open to reveal a tantalizing glimpse of smooth, golden skin.
Fuck, she was gorgeous.
I swallowed hard, my pulse thundering in my ears. It had been so long since I'd allowed myself to feel this way, to want someone with such intensity. But with Rissa, it felt right. Inevitable, even.
Settling my weight over her, I trailed my lips along the elegant column of her throat, savoring the warmth of her skin and the sweet, feminine scent that was uniquely hers. Rissa sighed, arching into my touch, her nails raking lightly down my back.
"Nathan," she breathed, my name a plea on her lips. "I need you."
Those words were my undoing. With a low growl, I claimed her mouth again, pouring all the pent-up longing and desire into the kiss. There was no going back now. I was lost to her, heart and soul.
I slowly peeled her robe the rest of the way, revealing the lush curves of her body. My dick hardened even more at the sight of her, so perfect and so mine. I worshiped every inch of her with my lips and tongue, starting at the delicate curve of her collarbone and working myway down. Rissa's moans spurred me on, and her hips rolled beneath me like she had an ache only I could soothe.
When I finally reached the apex of her thighs, I buried my face between her legs and feasted on her sweetness. Rissa's cries of pleasure spiraled around the room, her hands fisting in the sheets.
I slid two fingers inside her as I teased her clit with my tongue. "Come now, Rissa.”
Rissa
Nathan’s lips and tongue were like fire, sparking a blaze that spread through my veins, igniting every nerve ending. I arched my back, offering myself up to him, consumed by the need for more.
His talented mouth and magic fingers left me trembling, on the brink of orgasm. When he slid his fingers inside me and teased my clit with his tongue, I lost control, crying out his name as the world exploded around me. Wave after wave of ecstasycrashed over me, taking me higher than I'd ever thought possible.
I marveled at the raw power that was Nathan Gallagher. He was a sight to behold. And mine.
Moments later, he stood and removed his clothes. Climbing on the bed, he settled between my legs again. With one powerful thrust, he filled me. Stretched me in the best way possible. Our gazes locked, and in those chocolate depths, I found a connection I'd never experienced before. We moved together, our bodies melding into a symphony of gasps and moans. This was right.
I tossed my head back, surrendering to the sensations coursing through me. "Nathan," I groaned.
"Fuck yeah," he growled against my neck, thrusting harder. And then we were both crying out each other's names as we came together in a shattering climax that left us shaking with pleasure.
