Jennifer exhaled and sank back into the softness of the bed.She hadn’t known how much it would calm her until she told him.
He leaned down and pressed his lips to hers.When she opened it to his invasion, Grant delved inside with his tongue.He grasped her hair in a tight fist and turned her head for deeper penetration.
He felt her nails dig into his back.“Yes,” he hissed.“Hold on tight, baby.”
Within moments, the spark of need that always seemed to be between them burst, engulfing them in pure desire.Grant stood and tore at his shirt.
“Let’s get that dress off you,” he said, pulling off her shoes before sitting her up and unzipping the back of her dress.“I’m trying to be careful, so I don’t rip it.”
Eyes locked on Grant, Jennifer trembled and gasped for breath as the blood pumped heavily through her veins.She nodded and shrugged the dress off her shoulders.She tightened her grip when the fabric started to slide down.
Grant’s eye flew to her face, and he stopped pulling the fabric from her when she clutched it to her chest.
“Everything’s going to be okay.I promise, baby.But if you need to stop and cover yourself with the dress, we’ll wait until you’re ready.”
Jennifer hesitantly eyed the bedside table, then Grant.“Can you turn off the light, Grant?”
Grant bit back a growl.He wanted to see her in the strong light, but he understood why she tried to hide in the shadows.It wouldn’t always be that way.Eventually, she’d be able to walk around the house naked.
He stood, turned off the light, turned on the bathroom light, and closed the door a bit so some of the bed was in the shadows.
“Is this okay?”
Jennifer released her breath and nodded.
Grant lay back down beside her again and placed a soft kiss on her lips.“There is no reason to be embarrassed, baby.Very shortly, there won’t be an inch of your body I won’t know.”He studied her hesitant expression for a second and then felt the shiver spreading down her back.
“If you’re too uncomfortable, I’ll turn it off?”
After a moment, Jennifer shook her head again, unable to take a deep breath as another level of heat spread through her.
Grant smiled.
Oxygen stalled in her lungs at the tenderness in his eyes.She raised her hand and let her fingers skate across his cheek, his five-o’clock shadow prickly against her tips.Had she ever felt this cherished?
****
Grant
He gritted his teeth.There was no question that he would force himself to walk away if it was too soon for her, but he knew it would physically hurt to leave her like this and make him slightly insane.He’d never wanted anything the way he wanted Jennifer at that moment.After a minute, he exhaled deeply when Jennifer nodded, slowly released her grip, and relaxed back on the mattress.
The breath seemed to explode from his lungs.“You are such a good girl.”Grant praised her before slowly pulling the dress off and throwing it toward the chair where his coat lay.He sucked in a hard breath at seeing her spread out on his bed in only a matching set of plain white panties and a bra.He reached out and slowly traced the top of the bra where her heavy, pale breasts were trying to burst free.“You are so damn beautiful.I’m never going to get tired of looking at you.”He moved his finger down between her breasts, down her stomach, then curved it around her belly button.He smiled when she giggled.“Ticklish?I’ll be able to use that information later when I need to punish you.”
“No,” she shrieked.“I hate being tickled.”
Grant raised his eyebrows.“It wouldn’t be a punishment if you enjoyed it, now, would it?”
She sucked in a startled breath when his finger slid farther down and ran along the top of her panties.Grant bent and took her mouth as his finger kept leisurely tracing around the top of the panties, making her tremble.Lust seized him when her scent hit him.
Jennifer reached out, circled his head with her arms, and tried pulling him closer to deepen the kiss.Small whimpers and moans fell from her mouth.
He gladly gave her what she wanted, and at the same time ran his hand up and down her midsection, getting her used to his touch on her bare skin.He pushed his tongue into the depths of her mouth and seemed to try to absorb her into his body.
Before long, they both fought for control.Grant slid his hand under her to unsnap her bra before pulling it off and throwing it to the floor as his mouth ate at hers.He lifted his head so he could look at her.She had medium-sized breasts, heavier than he thought they were, with dark pink nipples that seemed determined to gain his attention by nudging him when she arched against him.He couldn’t wait another second before he tasted her, bent, and sucked on one tit and then the other before returning.He groaned deep in his throat, obsessed with her taste.
Jennifer inhaled sharply.She hadn’t realized her bra was gone until the immense heat from his mouth covered her nipple.She moaned at the contact and tried to press harder against him, clutching almost desperately at his head.She whimpered when he pulled away, then watched Grant stand.His fingers released the button on his pants before sliding the zipper down.
He watched her face carefully as he pushed his pants, boxers, shoes, and socks down and off.Her gaze nervously stayed on his erection for a long moment before they moved on to explore the rest of him but quickly returned to his pulsing erection.
