That did the trick.The tension broke as Liam barked out a laugh.My grin widened as I chuckled along with him.
“Well,” he said when he’d finally stopped laughing, “I suppose it’s nice to know you feel the same way about me as I feel about you.”He paused, searching my face before shaking his head.“But I don’t think I could come up with three women whose traits you embody, because the moment I laid eyes on you, every other woman ceased to exist.You’re beautiful because no one else is like you.”My breath caught, but he wasn’t done.“It was your eyes that got me first, you know.”He tilted my face, kissing each of my eyelids, his voice dipping into a whisper.“Despite the daggers you were glaring at me that day, I damn near melted when I looked into them.”
Oh, sweet JesusI was the one melting now.
His palms skimmed my sides, setting off a cascade of sparks in their wake.They glided around my back, where he deftly unhooked my bra.He slipped the straps down my arms and dropped it on the floor, leaving me exposed.
“I’m already half-naked on your lap, you know.”I teased, my voice shaky.“You don’t need to keep laying it on so thick.I’m pretty much a sure thing at this point.”
He smirked.“I’m not trying to lay it on thick, Pipsqueak.I’m making sure you know how gorgeous I think you are.”
I choked back a laugh.“That’s it.You’re in trouble now.”I pushed him back until his head rested on the pillow.“How many times have I told you not to call me Pipsqueak?”
Liam grinned up at me, amused as I straddled him again.He pulled me closer, dragging me over the full length of his arousal.
“Maybe I’ll have to tease you to death?”I muse, rolling my hips against him.He groaned, throwing his head back against the pillow, his neck straining as he tried to control himself.
He was completely at my mercy.And I loved every second.
“Jesus, Maya.”His voice came out thick with desire.“That’s too good.”
I chuckled and rocked against him once more, loving the sharp bite of pain when his fingers dug into my hips.“That’s the point.”I rocked again, gasping as a shock of bliss pulsed through me.“I’m teasing you to death, remember?”
He huffed a laugh that I transformed into a throaty moan with another roll of my hips.
“Well,” he growled, his grip tightening on my hips, “if I’m about to die, allow me to give you the best orgasm of your life first.That way, you’ll remember me when I’m gone.”
Before I could respond, Liam flipped us, pinning me to the bed.His weight, his heat, hishunger.I wanted more.
His gaze locked on mine, dark and certain.“And if I can’t make you fall in love with me”—he brushed a strand of hair from my face, his thumb tracing the curve of my lips—“I suppose making you come will have to do.”

don’t let go
Liam
“Oh.”
I smiled at Maya’s startled gasp when she realized she was now under me.
“Uh, um.Okay?”she said, her acceptance of my offer sounding like a question.
It’s not that I didn’t enjoy her teasing me—grinding on me like she owned me—but I was about to blow in my pants from how much I enjoyed it.I needed to take charge before I embarrassed myself.
“Justokay?It’sokayif I give you the best orgasm of your life?”
She smiled, her eyes raking across my chest.“I mean, yes.I would like that.Please.”Then, with a cocked eyebrow, she added, “That is, if you think you’re up to the task.”
I snorted.“Oh, believe me, Pipsqueak.I am up to the task.”
After her prior confession, I suspected she hadn’t been intimate with many men.Not that I cared either way, but when she said no man had ever gone down on her?I damn sure cared about that.And I made a promise to myself to rectify it immediately, and as often as possible.
Now seemed like the perfect time to continue with theas often as possiblepart of that promise.
I pressed my lips to hers before sliding down the bed, trailing kisses along her stomach, making her gasp with each one.My mouth watered at the scent of her arousal, urging me to savour every inch of her.
When I reached the waistband of her leggings, I hooked my fingers on either side and tugged gently, raising an eyebrow in question.If her nod didn’t say yes, her heavy-lidded eyes and blown pupils sure as hell did.
