“No, beautiful,” he leaned in for a kiss, “you are the dessert.”
Chapter24
Boden
“Remind me again why you are still single?”
My eyes dipped to Lakelyn’s mouth as she closed her lips over the last bite of food on her fork. With each morsel, soft moans of approval filled my ears, causing me to barely think straight.
“And here I thought I had been taken off the market?” I pinned her with a pointed stare as she did her best to school her expression while setting her fork and knife down across her dinner plate.
“Oh, you are most definitely no longer available,” she quipped, wasting no time climbing onto my lap, deliberately caging my hips between her knees.
My body’s apparent response to her nearness was impossible to hide and didn’t go unnoticed. I loved how confident she was with her sexuality, not afraid to take what she wanted as she ground her hips into mine with purpose.
“Is this you staking your claim?”
She draped her arms over my shoulders and drew me in further with her piercing eyes that captivated my attention from the moment we met. What was once guarded was now electric and filled with powerful emotion. Her indigo eyes were a gateway to her soul, expressing her willingness, wants, and desires. Fueling the blistering physical connection, I was confident, didn’t exist.
She nodded. “Make me yours, Boden.”
With one hand on her hip, I held her in place while my other cupped her cheek. My thumb parted her lips before running down the column of her neck, causing her to tilt backward as her breathing turned heavy. The off-the-shoulder dress she was wearing granted me easy access as I leaned forward and licked my tongue across her collarbone, welcoming the sweetness of her scent against my tongue. My sampling last night didn’t even come close to quenching my sexual appetite for her.
Needing more, I dropped my hands to the tops of her thighs, trailing my fingers under her dress, and paused my initial path of intent when I discovered she was nearly bare underneath. My cock grew impossibly hard behind the confines of my shorts as I spread my fingers wide and dug them firmly into her skin. She rocked her hips forward as I groaned and pushed my hands up over the delicious curve of her hips, lifting her floral cotton dress until it cleared her head, but I made no effort to free her arms. Instead, I lowered them to her side as the material pulled flush behind her back, caging her in.
“First, last night, and again now.” She lifted her bare chest as my mouth descended upon her with urgency. “I’m detecting a pattern here.” She wasn’t wrong. Restraining her and having unfiltered access fueled my need to take everything she gave me.
I sucked her nipple into my mouth, scissoring my teeth over its hardened edge, eliciting a whimper as she circled her hips against mine, seeking more friction.
“You are so responsive, so beautiful,” I murmured, lavishing attention over her other rosy pebbled peak. “I’ve never wanted anyone else the way I want you. It’s intoxicating.” The scent of her arousal filled my senses. “I hope you aren’t too attached to these panties.”
“Hmm?”
My hand curled around the thin strap and yanked the offending material away from her body.
“I can’t believe you just did that.” She teasingly yelped.
“Is that a good or a bad thing?”
“Unexpected,” she shimmied even closer, “but oh so good,” and bit down on my lower lip.
“Glad you approve.” I claimed her mouth with hurried strokes of my tongue. “Because I’m just getting started.”
She was my drug.
My anchor.
My everything.
The feeling that was so deeply rooted, the one that made my heart beat stronger when we were together, fueled my intensity as I poured every ounce of my desire into our searing kiss.
“I need—” The sounds of her breath coming in short puffs mirrored mine, and I loved that I had this effect on her.
“Tell me”—kiss—“tell me what you need because”—kiss—“there isn’t a single thing I wouldn’t do for you.” I nuzzled hungry kisses over to her ear and down the delicate curve of her neck.
“I need to touch you.”
I pulled back, unable to contain my smile, and was met with her lust-filled gaze. I knew she was vulnerable in this position, but with her eyes sparkling with fire and her lip captured between her teeth, I knew we were both on the same page.
