She’s smiling still as she finally looks up at me, still pressed snugly against my body, and I suddenly feel the atmosphere shift as I peer down into those breathtaking blue eyes that have haunted my every dream. The heat of her body bleeds into mine, and I feel the moment her heartbeat picks up pace even though she’s not moving a muscle.
Maddie must feel it, too, because her hands clench in my shirt at my waist, holding on like she can’t bear to let go. I know the feeling, enjoying the feeling of her against me, the feeling far exceeding any daydream I’ve ever had of it. I don’t want it to end, not even for a second, and it’s the only excuse I have for what I do next.
I lift my hand to cup the back of her neck, stroking the soft skin at her nape, my gaze scanning hers for a long moment. I’m holding my breath as I search for any sign that she wants me to back off, to cool things down, but there’s nothing on her face but an expression that matches mine. And I know for a fact mine is painted with a bone-deep need that I can’t keep trying to bottle.
So, with slow movements, slow enough that it gives her a chance to back away if she’s uncomfortable, I lean in with obvious intent. She doesn’t move, and I feel like I’m about to combust when my lips find a home against hers. In fact, I think I might disintegrate entirely, because when she kisses me back, it wrecks me.
And then she moans softly, so softly I almost miss it, and I lose all sense of professionalism.
My arm is banded around her back before she can even consider pulling away, trapping her against me while I kiss her harder, drinking in her gasp and another sexy sound that wakes my cock up from its very slight slumber. I’m pretty sure that thing has only been napping this entire time, waiting for the right moment to wake the fuck up.
Apparently, that time is now, and I know for damn sure Maddie can feel the tent growing in my shorts. It’s impossible not to when her front is plastered against mine, and she drags herself impossibly closer when her own arms hook around my neck as she kisses me with everything she has.
And then she short-circuits my brain completely when her tongue swipes against my lower lip, and I sink deeper into my obsession as soon as I match her energy. When she gives me another sexy little moan, I haul her into my arms, damn near bursting at the seams when her legs wrap around my waist without a second thought.
I don’t break away from her addictive mouth while I carry us through the gym, already knowing the layout well enough that I can carry us to the back room where the floor is made of nothing but mats without a single hiccup.
As soon as darkness surrounds us, the lights still off from when we finished taking photos in here, I pull away and roughly pant, “If you don’t want this to go any further, I need you to speak now or forever hold your peace.”
Maddie laughs breathlessly, pulling away enough that I can only see the faint trace of her features. It’s enough to see the heat in her eyes, the way her lips have curved into a stunning smile, and the want on her face that mirrors mine. “You won’t hear a single objection from me, muscles. Do your worst. I want it all.”
Fuck. Me. Dead.
A groan tears from the back of my throat, my head dropping back because I can’t believe I’m here, with Maddie, while she offers herself to me on a silver platter. I’m a greedy bastard, too, because I accept her command with another bruising kiss that I sear into my memory. I kiss her with all I’m worth, only stumbling slightly when her tongue swipes against mine, and she moans deeper while the fingers in my hair tighten at the same time her thighs do.
When my knees almost buckle at the scratch of her nails against my neck, I lower her to the mats and frame her body with mine, tearing my mouth away from hers before trailing wet kisses over her jaw, along her neck, and down to her shoulder. I only stop when I meet resistance from her shirt, and I pause before whispering, “Looks like we have an obstacle.”
“Then jump over it,” she challenges, her voice holding a little rasp to it now. I didn’t know my dick could grow so hard at a voice, a throb forming at the base when a need so desperate and consuming washes over me.
I don’t bother offering more words, turning into a fucking animal as I reach for her jersey and tug it roughly over her head. Maddie laughs, even as she reaches behind her back to unlatch her bra, discarding it just as quickly.
What little light shines through the open door I didn’t bother to close highlights the work of art beneath me, and I force a swallow when my mouth dries. My dick is aching now that I’m able to run my eyes over the curve of her breasts, and I lick my lips when her hardened nipples suddenly call to me with a siren’s song.
Who am I to deny it?
I’m a victim to her lure, my head dipping until my mouth reaches a nipple. I lick first, and Maddie whimpers, the hand that has snuck back into my hair tightening a little. I suck, andthat whimper turns into a sexy moan at the back of her throat. I scrape my teeth over her sensitive flesh, and a sexy little grunt answers me.
I do the same to her other nipple, leaving a trail of kisses over her sternum before wrapping my lips around her, and Maddie’s back damn near bows off the mats.
Grinning around her, scraping my teeth over her nipple in a way that makes her breath catch, I soak in every reaction. I need more of them, desperate to learn what kind of sounds I can drag out of her. If they’re anything like the ones I heard when she was with Bax, then I’m in for a fucking treat. My dick is already throbbing with anticipation, a drop of precum leaking into my boxers, and I react by sucking her nipple hard into my mouth.
Through her gorgeous moans, Maddie complains, “Caid, I don’t think I can handle much foreplay right now. I’ve been fighting against that sexy face and those muscles of yours for a whole hour already. I can’t handle much more right now.”
I’ll be damned if that doesn’t make my chest expand. Hell, if I were a peacock, I’m pretty sure she would have teased my feathers into preening.
I can’t help the grin on my face when I pull back and hover over her body, my eyes tracing her face like I’m committing it to memory. “What do you need, Blue? I’ll give you anything.”
“You. I need you, Caid,” she answers without any kind of hesitation, so I react in the exact same way.
Fuck it. I’ll go slow next time.
Chapter Forty-One
Maddie
With an enthusiasm that makes me laugh despite the arousal thrumming through my veins, Caid sits upright before reaching for the waistband of my shorts and thong, tugging them away harshly. He reaches an obstacle when he realizes I’m still wearing my Converse, and with a sexy little growl, he removes them with a swiftness that impresses me more than amuses me.
The moment I’m bare to his eyes, the small sliver of light offering him enough of a view to take me in, he takes his time looking me over. The heat in his eyes turns into an inferno, and my body warms all over when those flaming green eyes drop to the apex of my thighs, to the place that is already wet and wanting.
