“Hmm.”Tapping my chin, I pretended to consider her question.“Nope.”
“Then yes.Yes, I did snort.”She peered down her nose at me as if daring me to mock her.
“I think it’s cute.”I smiled.“Especially when it’s you doing it.”
A strand of hair fell into her eyes, and before I could stop myself, I brushed it back.She gasped softly.Her eyes darkened, flicking down to my lips as the air between us shifted.The arousal swirling in the air between us was so thick it was practically palpable.
“Maya…” My voice was low, roughened with growing tension.I wanted nothing more than to kiss this woman, to make her mine.
She swallowed roughly before dragging her eyes up to meet my gaze.“Yes?”she asked in a breathy whisper.
I cupped her cheek, watching her skin flush that gorgeous shade of pink that I was starting to crave.My heart pounded as she leaned into my touch, her skin smooth against my palm.Heat coiled deep in my stomach, my pants growing tighter with each shaky breath.What was Maya doing to me?
Her eyes drifted closed as she swayed the tiniest bit closer, and I knew with absolute certainty that if I didn’t kiss her, I’d regret it for the rest of my life.
I took her face in both hands and pulled her close.She licked her lips.I needed to kiss her, but I held back, hovering just out of reach.Savouring the sound of her unsteady breaths and the soft tremble of her fingers against my arms, I let the anticipation build until finally, when I wasn’t sure I could hold back any longer, she surged forward and pressed her lips to mine.
Her lips were even softer than I’d imagined.
She sighed into my mouth, her body melting against mine and fitting perfectly in my arms like no one ever had before.Soft breaths mingled with the tickle of her tongue flicking along my lower lip, teasing me in the most delicious way.I shoved my hand into her hair, gave a gentle tug, and she moaned.That sweet, breathy sound sent a surge of heat through me.I kissed the line of her jaw, her skin fever-hot beneath my lips as I made my way to the hollow behind her ear.She gasped when I sucked her skin between my lips, arched into me when I flicked my tongue against the soft flesh.Her fingers dug into my arms, her nails biting through my shirt; the slight sting of pain served only to stoke the frenzied desire coursing through my veins.
I groaned, my lips brushing her ear.“God, why is kissing you so good?”I pressed my tongue to the fluttering pulse at her throat, relishing the way it jumped beneath my kiss.
“I don’t know, but don’t stop,” she breathed before crushing her lips to mine once more.
Before her movement even registered, she swung her leg over my lap to straddle me on the tiny couch.Her hair tumbled around us, trapping us in a lust-filled bubble as her tongue tangled with mine; her kiss was desperate, demanding,feral.
She rocked her hips and …fuck.The friction was torture.Iachedfor more, forher.
“You have no idea how much I want you.”
“I think I havesomeidea,” she murmured, rolling her hips over my erection, ripping another moan from my throat.“I shouldn’t want you, but I do.”
“Maya …shit…that feels amazing…oh, shit…but…” I groaned, clenching my jaw as she ground against me.“Slow down for a second.Hold on.Wait.”I gritted my teeth as she rolled her hips again.“I don’t want you to think this is why I came here.”
“It doesn’t matter.”She pressed closer, her hands threading through my hair, her breath hitching against my lips as she rubbed against me.“I-Ican’tslow down.”
She rolled her hips in a steady rhythm, killing me with every pass of her heated centre.The sweet pressure had me straining behind my zipper.My entire body tensed as she whimpered into my mouth, driving me to the edge.Blindly, I tightened my grip on her hips, pulling her down as I thrust up.
Fuck, she felt good.Too good.A desperate friction built between us, heat and need coiling tight.
“I can’t … it’s not enough,” she whimpered, her voice frustrated and throaty.She rocked furiously in my lap, chasing her release.“I’m so close.”
“Easy, sweetheart,” I murmured, hands sliding down to cup her ass, squeezing.“Let me take care of you.”
She gasped as I stood, lifting her with me.Her thighs tightened around my waist, her arms clinging to me as though she couldn’t get close enough.
The best thing about Maya’s apartment was how tiny it was.In three steps, we were at the bedroom door.Two more, and we were at the bed.
Maya gazed up at me, panting, pupils blown wide with desire.I hovered over her, my hand slipping under her shirt to explore the soft skin of her stomach.She shivered, her breath catching.The anticipation hung heavy between us.
“Is this okay?”I murmured, my fingers skimming higher as I traced teasing circles on her flesh.“Maya … can I touch you here?”
“Yes,” she whispered, her eyes nearly black with need.“Please, yes.Touch me.”
“Thank god…” I whispered, sliding my palm higher still, loving how she shivered at my touch.
Crushing my mouth to hers, I swallowed her needy whimper, injecting my kiss with the promise to soothe her ache.Heat surged through me again, rough and unrelenting, pooling low and tight.A burning need, like I’d never felt before, threatened to slice through the last tenuous threads of my control.She was so soft.So perfect.
