His hands pulled at her. His hardness pressed against her thigh. And, dear God, his mouth owned every inch of hers.
There was no him and her. There was only them.
A brilliant them that made her wish she could record every second.
But that would be weird. And probably illegal.
Instead, she simply let him do what he did. Let him kiss and tug and pull.
And for the first time in years, she let herself…feel.
Let her body move against his. Her legs wrap around his waist. Her core pulse where he thrust.
Until—and she wasn’t sure how this happened—she was totally naked and pressed underneath Gavin Frank.
Yes, she knew the logistics of how it actually happened.
She was just so in his grip that time was relative.
Her mouth still working against his, her body writhing with his, he slipped on a condom and met her gaze like a question.
Was she sure?
She pressed herself to him, pulled him so he aligned with her body and urged him inside.
That’s all it took. All the encouragement he needed before he reminded her just exactly how much fun sex could be.
CHAPTER 23
GAVIN
Gavin was quickly realizing that Molly was a complicated woman filled with surprises.
For example, she didn’t mind making a lot of noise during sex and she snuggled up afterward. The snuggling was a total surprise to him. Unexpected.
The noise? Not so much a surprise. He figured she’d have lots to say when they were together like this. He just… well, he thought…
“I figured you’d talk more,” he said, because he had thought she’d be a talker. Figured she’d be pretty bossy in the bedroom.
Not that he was disappointed. He liked to take the lead.
Preferred it, actually.
So, no, he wasn’t disappointed in the least. That was the least appropriate word for how he felt. She was gorgeous, and she was oddly timid.
She did make a good deal of noise. But she didn’t talk.
“Why would you figure that?” She lifted up on her arm, dropping loads of those hair pin things women used in their hair for big black tie events.
“Because you usually talk,” he said, pulling out a pin or two that hung free and dropping them on the nightstand.
“You did your job, and I didn’t have any brain cells left to devote to speech. They were all busy with the whole…” She raised her eyebrows. “You know. You were there.”
Oh, yes, he knew. He was very grateful to have been there.
“You never cease to surprise me, Miss Molly.” He couldn’t seem to get enough of kissing her, so he decided to just do it when the need struck.
Like now.
