Page 69 of Trusting Tanner
She didn’t hesitate to take his hand or to follow him into the bedroom. Juliana stood near the bed and watched as he closed the glass doors and then turned around.
He walked toward her. The desire in his eyes unmistakable. “Juliana.” His voice dripped with sex, and the way her full name rolled off his tongue was downright sinful. He dragged a hand through his hair and stopped in front of her.
He lowered his mouth to hers, his tongue parting her lips and dipping inside for a long, sensual kiss. Good Lord, if he kissed her like that again, she was going to shove him onto the bed and show him exactly what it meant to be the star of her fantasies.
“Damn.” His lips tickled hers as he spoke. “I need you so goddamn bad.”
He released her and removed his jeans. Then he reached for his boxers, intent on taking those off, too. Juliana’s eyes widened, and her heart raced. He dropped his boxers and kicked them off.
His sculpted chest gave way to a well-defined set of abs, which were only a tease of what was inches lower—the perfectly shaped V that pointed to his massive erection. She should stop staring, but she couldn’t. Sweet Lord, the size of him! As if she wasn’t nervous enough before. She watched in awe as he pulled back the covers and climbed into bed. When his lower half was covered, she let out a small sigh of relief.
He yanked back the covers on her side of the bed. “Coming?”
She walked around to the opposite side and kneeled on the mattress.
Tanner flipped the covers back up. “Uh-uh.” He shook his head. “This bed is reserved for naked people only.”
“If I don’t take off my shorts you’re seriously going to make me sleep elsewhere?”
He lay on his side, head propped in his hand. “Yup.” There was a playful twinkle in his eyes, his dimple taunting her.
She stood back up. “Can I at least have a pillow for the couch?”
“Get your ass in this bed right now.” He was trying not to laugh.
She contemplated whether she should do as he said or give him a hard time. Deciding on the former, she eased her shorts off and then climbed into bed next to him. She inched closer and rolled onto her side, her hand finding and caressing his chest. A faint moan erupted from his lips, and she smiled, knowing she’d caused it. Tanner gently guided her onto her back, his warm hand rubbing over her breasts. In the next moment, his mouth was on hers, his tongue teasing and exploring.
Juliana closed her eyes and reached for him, her hands going to the back of his neck, her fingers splayed in his hair. He’d respected her wishes to take things slow, but now she was ready. She wanted to show him how she really felt, howhemade her feel. The cool satin beneath her and the heat of Tanner next to her were almost too much to handle. She arched in to him, and he deepened the kiss, allowing his hand to roam down her body.
“You’ve got the softest skin.” He left her mouth and kissed along her jaw, down the column of her neck. His hand continued its descent, and she couldn’t stop the tremor working through her, nor did she want to. She wanted to experience everything he had to give.
“I want to kiss every inch of you.” His mouth closed around her nipple, and she cried out, her body lifting to meet his.
Slowly, he ran his thumb up and down the apex of her thighs, almost touching her sex but never actually doing it. It was a mind-blowing, diabolical tease she couldn’t get enough of.
“Tanner.” Her voice was a needy whine, and she shifted closer, hoping to entice him to finally touch her down there, but he didn’t. She grabbed his face and kissed him. He pressed the top half of his body to hers, covering her exposed breasts with his hard, smooth chest. Unable to contain it a moment longer, she moaned, needing him to know how his touch affected her, wanting him to know she wasn’t going to stop him this time. In response, his thumb grazed over her clit, and her ass jerked off the bed.
“I need you, Jules.” He nipped at her bottom lip. “I need you so bad. But if you want me to stop, tell me.”
She held his face, wanting to memorize the look in his eyes. It was caring and unflinching, his gaze burning with lust for her. Her heart stuttered in her chest and hammered in her ears. “Don’t stop.”
Before the words were even out of her mouth, his finger was sliding up her folds, his thumb pushing on her clit with the right amount of pressure. She moaned again, and her eyes closed.
“So…wet…” He groaned low at her ear and shifted, bringing more of his body onto her. “Shit, Jules.” His finger slid inside her, and she bucked beneath him, driving his finger deeper.
“God yes.” She rotated her hips, desperate for relief, which was so close she could almost feel it, almost taste the sweetness of release.
He crushed her lips with a bruising kiss. Using his knees to spread her legs, he settled between them, his fingers still inside her, working her into a frenzy. She writhed beneath him, her breathing coming in short, ragged pants. She wanted more, deeper, harder while simultaneously wanting time to stop, to keep them in this moment together forever. Her hands roamed over his shoulders, down his arms, her fingernails digging into his biceps as she edged closer and closer to orgasm. It had been far too long since she’d had the touch of a man like this, and she was going to savor every single second of it.
“Tell me what you want, Jules. Tell me what feels good.” He brought his mouth back down to her nipple, drawing it between his teeth, flicking his tongue over it.
“You,” was all she managed, and even that came out as a gasp. “I want you.”
“You have me.” He eased his fingers from her, and she instantly missed the contact. “I’m yours, baby. Tell me how you want me.”
“On your back.” She wiggled out from under him, and when he lay down, she kneeled between his legs, taking his shaft into her hand. Her fingers barely fit around his girth. She’d never get all of him into her mouth, but she was going to have a lot of fun trying.
She stroked him slowly, her palm circling his head. He moaned, and his stomach clenched. Never in a million years did she think she’d ever be in bed with a man like him, naked, ready to do anything and everything she could with him. She licked her lips and then brought them down over his cock.
