“What are you asking?” he growled, tugging my head back farther. “I need the words, Alexis. And God help me, if you give them to me, I’m not going to stop.”
“For a man with so much common sense, you really are quite daft,” I teased. “Nick, I’m asking you to fuck me. And we both know you’re going to say yes, so let’s just move to that part. I’m ready.”
He released a ragged breath. “Are you sure?” His fingers caressed my jaw before he ran his thumb over my lip. He pinched my bottom lip, drawing it down slightly before licking the inside. God, it was so hot, feeling his tongue rim the inside of my mouth.
“Yes.” I bit his lip, drawing it between my teeth as he grunted.
“Jesus, you’re so fucking sexy.” Gliding his palms down my back, he cupped my ass and lifted me. My legs wrapped around his waist as he held me, nibbling my lips as he gazed into my eyes.
“Last chance,” he said, slowly walking toward the stairs. “Once I have you naked, I’m not going to stop, princess.”
“Well, that’s a promise I’ll hold you to,” I said, feeling free for the first time since we’d returned home. “Make love to me, Nick. Please.”
He started up the stairs, mumbling something about how he was going to burn in hell and he didn’t give a damn. Holding on for dear life, I buried my face against his neck, thrilled to be in his arms once again.
Chapter 21
Nick
Icarried Alexis to my bed, my overwhelmed brain trying to process that I was actually going to make love to her; to touch her in all the places I’d dreamed about since we moved into the safehouse all those weeks ago.
She splayed atop the bed, her dark hair fanning over my comforter, and I had the possessive thought that she belonged there. In my bed. In my house. Ready to be fucked as I gazed into those stunning eyes.
She slid her arms over her head, causing her breasts to rise. Her nipples were taut, and my tongue ached to lick her there until she screamed. She looked like an angel—innocent and sultry, all at once, as she stared up at me, her body open and ready to be claimed.
I crawled over her, desperate to taste her, and settled between her legs. Sliding my palms up her arms, I laced our fingers above her head. Her lips glistened as I leaned closer, brushing them with mine.
“You didn’t...” Her throat bobbed as she swallowed. “You haven’t been with anyone since we got back, right?”
My heart clenched in my chest that she would even think I’d be with someone else so soon after what we shared.
“No, sweetheart,” I whispered, drawing her into a sweet kiss. “How could I be with anyone else when all I think about is you?”
She grinned, her smile fucking adorable as I reminded myself not to call her cute. She definitely wasn’t a fan, although I thought she was cute as hell.
“Good answer. You may proceed.”
Laughing, I nibbled her lips before needing more. I slipped my tongue inside her mouth, tasting her as joy surged through my frame. She’d told me she missed me, but I wanted toshowher; to prove to her that she was the only woman who owned my heart.
Her tongue tangled with mine, her sexy little purrs causing my dick to harden to the point of pain as I pressed it into the juncture between her legs. I could feel the heat of her wet pussy through those thin-as-hell yoga pants, and I knew she’d worn them to drive me crazy, the little vixen.
“You knew exactly what was going to happen when you came over here,” I murmured, sucking her bottom lip between my teeth and gently biting. “You know I love your ass in those fucking pants.”
“Oh, these old things?” She hooked her leg around the back of my thigh and undulated her hips into mine. “I hadn’t noticed.”
“You’re a devil, woman.” I drew her tongue between my lips, sucking it deep, showing her how I was going to suck all the other places on her gorgeous body.
She twined her fingers in my hair, tugging in ways that felt so good against my scalp. I kissed her for a few moments, settling into the fact that I was going to take her virginity. Part of me felt like a fucking bastard for not allowing her to wait for someone else. Butmy possessive streak overpowered that worry, and I knew there was no turning back.
Even if I couldn’t have her forever, I could love her now and be the first man to ever claim her.
The thought sent a new surge of arousal to my cock, and I vowed to make her first time memorable. Something we could both treasure when I inevitably had to let her go...
I kissed her neck, gently biting the soft flesh there as she moaned in my arms. Trailing soft kisses between her breasts, I felt my skin burn with heat as I cupped her breast in my palm. It fit there so perfectly, and I ran my thumb over her puckered nipple.
“I do have nice boobs,” she said, biting her lip. “Benefit of my love affair with pizza.”
“Your tits are fucking gorgeous,” I said, grazing my lips over her nipple. “You’re so goddamned beautiful, Alexis. Every inch of you. I don’t ever want you to change.”
