‘I wasn’t sure you were coming.’ Each of her words broke in her throat.

‘Even this place couldn’t keep me away.’

Scarlen stared at him, her legs forgetting to exist, her lungs barely breathing. She went to say something, anything, but nothing came to mind, but then he crossed the room in two strides and slid his fingers into her hair, raising her head, slamming his lips upon hers, stealing all thought and air.

His hand splayed across her lower back, shifting her t-shirt. The warmth of his skin on hers sent a shiver of delight along her spine, and he groaned onto her tongue as he pressed her further into his hold.

Scarlen gripped his shoulders, absorbing the scent of him, enjoying the heat flooding her in never-ending waves. She opened her eyes to look at his expression, their noses clashing as she drew back on an inhale.

The dance of a flame was there in the silver. Smooth, hot, so mesmerising, Scarlen was lost in his eyes once more as his fingertips swirled upon her flesh, caressing gently as he brought his mouth back to hers, slowly, so softly, and she was sure her heart had fallen into his.

‘I want to feel all of you, Scars.’ The tingle of his words on her lips vibrated low between her legs.

‘I want that too.’

He stepped back, whipping off his top, revealing the Ring around his neck, then gave a small tug to her top, his bottom lip pulled in, his eyes on her chest, so she lifted her t-shirt over her head so he didn’t have to use his imagination.

A groan of need slipped from his throat as he bent to trail kisses along her neck, then down to the slope between her breasts, one hand cupping a nipple to his tongue, the other callused palm wide on her back.

Scarlen closed her eyes and arched into him, gasping quietly as he moved around her body, the hard length in his bottoms pressing into her each time he shifted. Lowering her hand, she swallowed the ache of need as she dared herself to stroke over his erection.

Bear groaned, his mouth drinking her in, so she slipped to his waistband and pulled it down, exposing him fully. Looking down to take him in released a purr of pleasure from him and that sexy side smile he possessed that had many want him.

‘Your turn,’ he said, low, deep.

Reaching for her bottoms, she went to remove them but stopped, meeting his stare. ‘You do it.’

Not leaving her gaze, he lowered to his knees, hands clasping her hips, then placed a gentle kiss upon her belly button before pulling her bottoms to her ankles.

Scarlen slipped out of her footwear so he could lose the clothing altogether, then chewed her lip for a moment as he quirked a brow in question at removing her underwear. ‘All of you and all of me,’ she whispered, and he made that happen within a second.

She had never shown a man her body before, and having one on his knees in front of her while stripped bare had her feeling sensations she never knew existed.

Bear caressed her stomach using his nose to trail her skin, and she raked her fingers into his hair, wanting his mouth pressed deeper into her.

‘I wish I knew what your scent was,’ he said quietly, teasing a finger over her sensitive spot, smiling at her gasp.

She brushed her fingers over his cheeks, then lowered to her knees to face him, and he grabbed her face at once, the moisture of his tongue replenishing hers, deep groans slipping from them both. The kiss heated, and their arms crushed each other as if holding on that tightly would save them somehow.

Bear dropped to his rear, taking her with him, placing her upon his lap, his shaft so close to her opening, the pressure within them building as he peppered kisses across her face.

Scarlen couldn’t help but rub herself against him, hearing him swear, then breathe out her name. Every nerve ending was on full alert as she arched, giving him access to lick over her breast, which he took greedily, cradling her close as though so precious.

His erection pushed eagerly against her, and she approved, sliding up and down along his length some more, tormenting herself and releasing more swear words from him in pants and hisses.

Bear slid his hand between them, inserting two fingers inside her, making her rise from him, her breasts consuming his exhale as he leaned into her, and she could feel herself coming undone with each thrust of his hand, each kiss on her nipple.

The contact was more than physical, every fibre of her being was screaming at him for more, more, more. A pull of energy had her core wrapped in his, each breath shared, their mouths capturing each other’s again and again.

‘This is my first time,’ she mumbled on his lips.

‘You tell me what you like. What you want me to do, and if you want me to stop at any time. You’re in control here. Tell me what to do to you.’

‘I want to feel you inside of me,’ she whispered close to his ear.

Bear released his fingers and gently slid her down onto his fullness, filling her completely, the air leaving their lungs onimpact. ‘Scars,’ he said on a breath, as she moved herself on and off of him in slow and steady movements.

Relishing the feel of him within her, the heat from his mouth in the groove of her neck, her name blowing out with his gasps, Scarlen scraped her nails across his back, her silent plea for him to take over, to stay inside her forever, for his flesh to always be against her own, but Bear slowed her, his panting gaining control, his smile stretching across her neck.
