And suddenly, she was on her back, soft material protecting her from the ground.
Knox nearly tore off his own boots. His clothing followed suit, and then he stood before her. Naked. Glorious. Strong and beautiful.
Hungry for her.
His eyes tracked over her body, slowly igniting fires in the wake of his gaze.
She reached up one hand, unable to bear not having his touch.
He took her hand as he knelt. He kissed her fingers, one at a time and then straddled her, keeping his weight off of her.
Before she could protest the lack of contact, he dropped kisses to her breasts. Her belly. Down to her panties. He slipped them off slowly, kissing his way down her body until she was writhing with anticipation.
She heard him rip open a condom and opened her eyes to watch him slip it on. “Next time, I get to do that.”
His eyes gleamed in the moonlight. “I like the sound of that. This time, I’d embarrass myself.”
She smiled. “Not a chance. You’re magnificent.” It was a weird word to use, but it was true. He was magnificent in so many ways.
His gaze roved her again. She couldn’t dig up even a shred of embarrassment. His gaze proved he saw her as beautiful, and because of that, she felt that way.
Even better, she felt wanted.
Knox took her hands and tugged lightly until she sat before him. In another quick move, he reversed their positions so he lay on the ground while she straddled him.
Ever the gentleman, protecting her.
Keeping her gaze locked on his, she lifted and positioned herself. The first sensation of his erection sliding into her had them both moaning.
After a few breaths, she slid down. Slowly. Knox’s fingers tightened on her hips, but he didn’t try to take over the pace.
When she lowered so that he was fully seated inside, she had to pause and suck in air. “You feel so good.” Her voice was barely a whisper.
His lightning-quick grin had her smiling back. “Better than I imagined was possible.”
It wasn’t long before her body demanded more. A slow hip circle had them both groaning again.
She kept the pace slow, enjoying the tortuous anticipation that built with every movement.
Knox lifted one hand to play with her nipple, and she cried aloud at the pleasure zipping right to her core. In only moments, the universe tightened inside her, and then exploded outward in waves of joy.
Her body spasmed through wave after wave of pleasure.
Impossibly later, she opened her eyes to find Knox’s gaze locked on hers. Intense. Focused. And delighted. His hands were the only things keeping her upright.
His body remained hard inside her. He moved his hips, and she gasped as her greedy body demanded more.
He grinned. “You’re the most gorgeous creature in the universe. Watching you fly apart is my new favorite pastime. Let’s see you fly again.”
And she did.
Twice.

A Spot Of Bother
Having sex in the moonlight in the middle of an apple farm should have been on Knox’s bucket list. Thea had about blown his mind.
