In a flurry of movement, he lifted her hips and slid the rest of her clothes off, until all she had on were her wool socks.
“It’s cool in here,” he said. “Want to keep the socks on?”
She sat up and smoothed her hands over his tight glutes that were exposed by the loose waistband. “Do you care?” Tugging his pants down, she reached inside the garment.
His gaze swept over her body. “Not one bit. I was think—”
He bit off the word as she wrapped her fingers around his hard erection. In a split second, Maverick was completely naked, with a condom in his hand and a grin on his face.
He set the condom on the mattress next to her, like a promise about to be fulfilled. Her heart rate sped up. Leaning down, he kissed his way across her abdomen, over her thighs, and back up, stopping short of the heated area that ached for him. Goosebumps followed the trail of his mouth. Restless, unable to find relief, she moved her hips.
His mouth was so close.
A tiny moan slipped out between her lips.
“Would you like to make a suggestion?” He chuckled, watching her from half-mast eyelids as he knelt between her knees.
“More. Please.” She gasped, fisting the bedding near her hip.
Time slowed down as he watched her from where he rested, poised at the juncture of her thighs.
He reached up to meet her hand and laced their fingers together once more.
Then he ducked his head and swept his tongue over her hot flesh.
“Oh my God.” Her lower back arched off the bed with the first lick.
Maverick squeezed her hand and continued to slide his mouth over her, dipping into her core, sliding along the sensitive area between her labia, then back up to stroke her clitoris with the flat of his tongue. She flew along with hisses of air through her pursed lips, bliss dimming the edges of her vision.
He lifted his head and made eye contact. Moisture glistened on his mouth.
Placing two fingers in his mouth, he watched her.
Lee didn’t look away.
His neck and jaw muscles rippled.
Her core pulsed, hips rocking toward him, needing to feel him inside of her, needing… Maverick.
He pulled his fingers out and slid them home in her vagina.
A shower of sparks cascaded through her. “Maverick, I—Please. I need—”
He didn’t move his hand.
Lee pressed her hips up, craving more, wanting to feel movement. He released their clasped fingers and palmed her thigh. Then he gave a sucking lick over her sensitive flesh at the same time as he drew his fingers in and out, the rhythm slowly speeding up, driving her higher and higher.
Lee grabbed the blanket and rode the sensations coiling deep inside of her. He curled his fingers with a strong, sure movement as he flicked his tongue over her clitoris.
Her world exploded in blissful sound and light and sensation as she tightened over and against his fingers for what seemed like hours. Were those her wild cries? Every nerve ending buzzed to life, and she floated on wave after wave of aftershocks until she finally relaxed.
“Oh my God, Maverick.”
“Lee, you are amazing.”
Chapter Twenty-Three
The scent ofLee’s desire would be imprinted on Mav’s brain until the end of time. Musky and sweet. He wanted to lose himself in her. Taste her until she came apart in his arms over and over.
