“Do you surrender?” he growled in his husky baritone voice.
My breath started to pick up and my pulse moved from my chest to between my legs. I couldn’t think straight, let alone answer. All I could do was stare into his eyes that had gone navy in the firelight. I glanced from his eyes to his lips and back as I bit my bottom lip.
His gaze fell to my mouth, and I knew he wanted to kiss me as badly as I wanted him to. Throwing any lingering reservations aside, I closed the inch that kept us apart. His body stiffened, then relaxed into mine. The kiss was soft at first, his full lips melting against my own. I adjusted my body to get more comfortable and with that movement, I could feel his length along my thigh grow harder. I opened my mouth, hoping he would explore it. And he did. He ran his tongue along the inside of my lip and gave it a little bite. I let out a soft moan and rolled my body against his, needing a little friction.
Eugene let out a small bark and Knox pulled back slightly, as breathless as I was.
“Hey,” he murmured, his lips tipped into a sideways grin as he leaned his forehead against mine.
“Hey,” I whispered back.
Knox glanced at the TV. “Should we uh…should we turn on another movie?”
No. Keep kissing me.“Sure.” I nodded, and he pulled the mess of blankets off the floor and lay down behind me, his cock still very hard against my ass.
“Is this okay with you?” Knox asked as he settled in and pulled the blankets over us.
“Yeah.” I smiled as he wrapped his large hand around my waist and lay it against my stomach.
“What about you? Is this okay?” he asked Eugene. The dog raised his head from the other end of the couch and gave a small huff, then lay his head back down sleepily.
“Little fucker.” Knox laughed.
Knox hit play on the next movie, though I barely made it through the opening credits before my eyes were heavy, a feeling of peace washing over me with Knox at my back and Eugene at my feet. The next thing I knew, Knox’s strong arms were lifting me as he carried me to his room and tucked me into bed. He smoothed the covers over me and swept my hair away from my face. As he turned to leave, I grabbed his hand.
“Stay,” I mumbled sleepily.
He stopped in his tracks. “What?” he whispered.
“Stay with me in here. Please.” I pulled the covers down so he could crawl in.
A pause. Then, “Okay.”
My eyes followed him as he walked to the opposite side of the bed, took his shirt off and climbed in beside me. I scooted to the middle of the king-size bed and rolled to my side, giving him my back so we could cuddle up again like we were on the couch. He moved up behind me and wrapped his arm around me again. This time, his hand rested on my thigh, rubbing slow circles. The repetition of it was entrancing.
I tried to calm my mind and fall back asleep, but being in the same bed with Knox had my heart racing. I could feel his own heartbeat against my shoulder, his breathing becoming more even as he settled in.
“Are you asleep?” I whispered after several minutes.
“No. What’s wrong?”
I turned over to face him, laying my hand on his chest and rubbing the same circles he was tracing on my thigh with my pointer finger.
“Today was amazing,” I whispered.
“Yeah, I had the best day.”
“I don’t want it to end.”
“Me neither.” He pushed a stray hair behind my ear and lethis finger run down my neck and arm until his hand circled my waist.
“I wish we could stay like this.”
“I’d give anything to have you forever,” he answered, his gaze piercing.
My will broke. I couldn’t hold back anymore. His words were too much, too real.
I brought my mouth to his and kissed him with force and passion, trying to push down my feelings for him down and let desire take over. I grabbed the back of his head and pulled him closer to me, pushing my tongue into his mouth and exploring every inch. He cupped my ass with his hand, then ran it along the back of my thigh to behind my knee, lifting my leg over his hip and pulling me closer to him. I felt his hard cock straining against the confines of his sweatpants as it twitched against my center.
