Vision flickered crimson and normal. Overand again.Hold it back.
Finally, he released his grip on her hairand drifted his hand to rest between her shoulder blades. Hepressed her forward, so her chest rested on the back of the couchand her butt lifted up. “Put your hands out to the sides.”
She did so, and the image of her spread outfor him, with all the trust involved, with Red knowingwho—what—he was.The gift of this situation nearly drove him to his knees.
He leaned over, trailing kisses down herback to the skirt’s waistband. All while pressing his fingersbetween her legs. Inching inward. Watching for any hesitation.
A sigh and a moan? Excellent.
How about that reset of her sexy legs a fewinches wider with a bit more tilt of her hips, giving him even moreaccess? God help him, but he loved it. Every instinct screamed athim to hurry the hell up.
Not going to happen. He didn’t care aboutany bastard virus coursing through his tainted veins, there was noway Red would miss any chance to bring her pleasure.
When Red dipped a finger fully into thepooled heat, she cooed his fake name. His erection threatened topunch through the fabric containing it.
He used his thumb and other fingers to flickover her nub and stroke up and down the soft folds, even as hecontinued to press and withdraw his finger, stroking her deeper anddeeper. He increased the pace until her hips bucked. Grabbing ahandful of sexy butt, he stilled her movements so he could touchwhat he wanted.
Another roll of her sensitive nub, and shepanted, “Oh my God.”
“You can call me Al.”
Her half-laugh, half-gasp broke the tensionlong enough for him to slip a second finger into her slick hottightness. Things got serious in a hurry. He moved in and out,pressing along the rough patch in her vagina. Her legs quivered,but he held her up with his other hand which gripped her hip.
“I’ve got you, sweets,” he growled. “Don’tmove. I’ve got you.”
“If you keep doing what you’re doing, ohGod, I’m going—” Her whole body shuddered,vaginal muscles clenching around his fingers in a hard, fast rhythmthat made the tip of his dick twitch in jealous response.
The fabric beneath his waistband developed asmall dark, damp spot. Damn it, he wanted to be inside of her sobadly.
Her shudders tapered off until she hummedand sighed, the sounds tasting like gumdrops on his starved tongue.Casting a coy glance over her shoulder, she blinked slowly andsmiled. “That was amazing. Are you waiting for another invitationfor round two?” She wiggled her hips, her butt moving beneath thebunched-up skirt. “No worries. IUD in place. Clean bill of healthon a recent checkup. You?”
“Same. Clean, I mean.” Damn. No time todiscuss that he was sterile, after being “voluntold” by themilitary docs to get a vasectomy due to the DNA-altering virus inhis system. He couldn’t form the words, but bottom line: no waywould Red expose her to something that could harm her. He reachedback to the kitchen table under the phone, pulling out a foilpackage. Shucking off his briefs, he tore open the package. A fewcrinkles later and the condom covered his raring-to-goerection.
A glance up and down her petite frame madehim hesitate. Would he hurt her? Not if he was careful. Not if hewent slowly.
Her folds still slick, he stroked her againuntil she started to purr under his touch. Using her lubrication tocoat his condom-covered dick, he eased into her, then paused.
Britt whimpered and wiggled.
Shit, he wouldn’t last long under this kindof torture.Go slowly. Any concerns about hurting her wentplumb away when Britt sat back on him, sheathing him in oneblissful move that almost caused him to lose consciousness. Theirtwin groans filled the room.
God, she was perfect, gloving him like shehad been tailor made for him. Inside, her warmth enveloped him andclung like her body didn’t want to let him go. The feeling wasmutual. He could do this every minute of the rest of his life andnever get enough.
He eased away until he had almost withdrawncompletely, then, as if they were two poles of a magnet, he surgedforward and she pressed down on him
The rhythm and intensity increased, skinslapping against skin, and the virus flared, hungry and desperateto have all of her. Red panted as he drove deeper, with loopingthrusts, nearly picking her up off the ground with each swivel ofhis hips. He ran a hand up her back and down one of heroutstretched arms, to lace his fingers in hers. Even now, sheremained in position, trusting him to give her pleasure. He wouldnever betray that trust.
Her cries mixed with his lower growls andblended until he couldn’t tell where the sound came from. He cuppeda breast, easing her torso up and back as he pulled her to hischest, still moving inside of her, faster and harder with eachthrust
With one hard thrust he suspended her offthe ground for a second, driving his dick impossibly deep inside ofher as she cried out and shattered around him. Easing her feet backto the ground, he pushed with two more strokes and followed herover the edge, her muscles milking him as he came apart inside ofher.
For the first time in forever, allextraneous sound disappeared, leaving perfect clarity of his sensescentered on Britt. Stepping back briefly to slip out of her, Redthen picked her up, holding her limp, flushed body against him,like he could never let her go.
Chapter Twenty-Nine
In the early light Saturday morning, Brittsnuggled her naked body into a cocoon of solid warmth. Last nightwas amazing. Al was amazing. How had she thought he was a quiet,reserved guy? After last night, that illusion was gone. Wow.
Even though she was in a place ofuncertainty with her life and her future—hell, her safety, too—shehad still asked for what she needed. God bless this man, but he’dgiven it to her, with interest. Then he’d taken care of herafterward. Al had held her boneless body as he tucked her into bed.Only, they didn’t sleep until after another few rounds ofmind-blowing sex.
