CHAPTER EIGHT

Friday Evening

“I’ve known you since I was a kid, so this doesn’t count as sleeping with someone on the first date…right?” They’d barely made it through the house and into the bedroom before he made her call his name. Lying limply on the bed, she tried to determine if she could move.

He raised his fingers to his mouth and groaned. “You taste perfect.” He gave her a satisfied smile and growled. “Honey, this moment was years in the making. As far as I can tell, it’s way overdue.”

She pushed at his chest and laughed. “It took you less than five minutes to strip me naked and get me on my back. The least you can do is wipe that satisfied smile off your face.”

“Lilly, this smile is permanent.” He ran his finger along her stomach and over the slope of her breast and licked his lips. “You gonna let me do what I want?”

“Yeah.” Stroking his short beard, she grinned. “I can’t wait to see how long it takes you to ruin me.” The moonlight seeping in from the window left most of the room in shadow, but it was enough to see red slashing his cheeks as his features tightened. “I thought you were a dreamboat when you were a teenager, but seeing how powerful you’ve become as a man is sexy as all get-out.” Sliding her hands over his biceps and then his chest made her appreciate what college ball and the Marines had done to his body.

“Dreamboat?”

Gripping his arms, she laughed. “Irritating, bossy, impatient, and yes, a dreamboat.” She pushed him over and enjoyed the view of his eight-pack, tanned skin, and perfect amount of chest hair. Biting her bottom lip, she skimmed her fingers over his muscles. “I can’t decide where I want to start.” She leaned over, moved her mouth over his warm skin, and let his male musk fill her senses. He smelled like home, adventure, and a promise of endless pleasure. Just as she kissed his nipple, she felt herself lifted in the air. He flipped her over and grinned. “I want to explore,” she said in protest as she looked up into his face.

“Maybe after we’ve done it a couple of times, I’ll let you at me.” Embracing her, he blanketed her with his body. “Promise me you’ll tell me what you like and how you like it,” he whispered against her ear. He dragged his tongue over her neck and then pressed his mouth to her skin. “I’ll know your body better than you do by the time I’m done.”

“Okay,” she managed to mumble. Her blood rolled into a low boil as he captured her mouth in a demanding kiss. Taking possession of her senses, he became a predator. Giving off enough heat to burn them both, she wondered if only the dust of her bones would remain. His light layer of chest hair brushed against her nipples and sent a delicious ripple of delight over her skin.

Dipping his fingers into her slick heat, he moaned. “Dripping wet…all for me. Only me,” he said as he hooked his fingers. “Gonna find the spot that makes you lose your mind.”

Her throat dry, she moved against his hand as he managed to find the place that sent her over the edge.

“Now, Lilly.”

That demanding voice of his hit a nerve and set her free. Throwing her head back, she gave into the fire and exploded. His mouth was against her neck. He drove her higher as he nipped at her skin. The combination had her on a wave that she wasn’t sure would ever end. “Brock…”

“That’s it. Let me own this part of you.”

With more care than she thought he was capable of, he brought her down slowly from the explosive orgasm. She went limp, and when she could take a full breath, she opened one eye and saw the top of his head as he moved his mouth down her body. “Let me take a minute.”

Lifting his head, he grinned. “Sorry, no can do. I’ve waited a long time to get my mouth on you.”

When he captured her breast in his mouth and loved on her like the man she knew him to be, she surrendered. They were skin to skin, and the only words that came to mind were primal, necessary, and mine. “What do you want from me?” she whispered.

“Everything, Lilly. I’ll give you more than you want, but not more than you can handle,” he said against her skin.

She ran her hands over his enormous arms. Memories of all the times he pulled her out of danger or convinced her not to do something stupid or caught her when she fell flooded her mind. He had always kept her safe and realizing that whatever happened between them wouldn’t be any different cracked something open inside her. A deep affection and unadulterated love filled her heart. Maybe it had been there all along, waiting for the perfect moment to unfurl itself.

“Show me, Lilly. I want to know what makes your back arch off the bed.”

Those words were not said with his usual even tone. They were spoken with a dark, demanding one. There was no compromise in his voice as his mouth moved south. Parting her with his thumbs, he ran his nose along her folds and then slid his tongue slowly front to back.

“You like that,” he murmured before diving back into her folds.

He took his time, learning what made her sigh, what made her moan, and finally what made her whimper. “OhGodohGodohGod,” she called out as desire coiled tight in her belly. The ache he’d created ratcheted higher as he gave her lazy licks. Fisting the sheets, she tried not push her body into his face. “Please…” she begged.

As the plea left her lips, he took pity on her writhing body and gave her the firmer strokes she needed. His greedy lips slid across every inch of her and then sucked her sensitive bud, devouring her like his favorite dessert. His mouth was hot and wet and his tongue persistent in its search to send her over the edge and straight into bliss. Her orgasm swelled, and the scrape of his beard against her thighs played counterpoint to the erotic nip of his teeth across her clit. The climax broke free, and she was taken under the wave of the most intense pleasure she’d ever experienced.

Just as she collapsed, he lifted himself up and slid his impressive length inside her body.

“Need you too much,” he managed to say as he filled her.

“Condom,” she managed to blurt out.

“I’m clean and nothing is coming between us.” Lifting his head, he arched an eyebrow and waited. “Let me in.”
