He chuckled and motioned for her to lie back so he could remove her panties. A cool rush of air flowed over her bare skin as he whisked them down her legs, folded them, and set them aside. Then he stood still and raked his gaze over her from top to bottom and all parts in between.

Just when she thought she couldn’t take it anymore, he tugged on the towel around his waist, and it fell to the floor with a whoosh.

Dreams really do come true, she thought as she took in his physical beauty. She hadn’t been looking for long before he crawled up next to her and pulled her tightly against him. The feel of skin on skin was exquisite, and the impatience she’d been trying to tamp down reared up again.

This is what true desire feels like, she thought as she gave in to the sensations that rocked her body. Her moans and sighs were background music as he kissed her lips, neck, chest, and belly. Then he dipped a hand between her legs, where she pulsed with need.

He looked deep into her eyes as he caressed the most intimate part of her, seemingly gauging her reaction and adjusting his tempo accordingly.

“You have no idea how often I’ve dreamed of this,” he said, “even when I shouldn’t have.”

She would have confessed to the same, but she was too distracted by his touch to form a coherent sentence.

“You’re so beautiful, Maddie.”

“Oh…” Her desire flared.

“I’ve wanted you for so long.”

“Cody…”

“Keep going. I feel you getting closer.”

“Yes.”

He swirled his finger around her aching nub and then inserted one finger deep inside her. She arched her back, chasing his hand with her hips.

“You look so hot right now. I can’t wait to see you come.”

“Ohmigod.”

Her breathing was ragged, and she felt lightheaded, but she wouldn’t stop for anything, not even to pass out.

“Anything you want, anything you need. Just tell me,” he said.

She clutched the sheets and closed her eyes, her body tensing in anticipation. She was so close…

“Open your eyes, Maddie. Watch me while I make you come.”

She popped her eyes open and looked at him. He was lying alongside her, their bodies touching from shoulder to thighs, gazing at her with an intensity that warmed her to the bone.

He flicked over her nub with his thumb while pumping in and out of her with his finger. “Is this good?”

“Yes.”

Then it struck her that Cody Sawyer was about to see her O face, something she’d never expected to happen. Self-consciousness threatened to derail her, but as if he sensed her pulling back, he said, “It’s okay. Just let go.”

Her orgasm took her in its powerful grip and didn’t let go, shaking her to the core. She let out a stream of nonsensical sounds as her head thrashed on the pillow, and her hips arched off the bed. He brought her to the peak and kept her there until her muscles relaxed and she slowly floated back down.

He kissed her softly on the lips. “Stay there.”

She couldn’t move even if she wanted to, which she didn’t.

He rolled away from her and opened the drawer of his nightstand, providing her with a marvelous view of his backside. Suddenly feeling playful, she reached out and squeezed it.

“Hey!” He glanced over his shoulder and grinned. “Careful with the merchandise.”

“I like the merchandise—a lot.”
