Moonlight magic wasthe only thing keeping her vertical. No way was she still standing under her own strength, not with Finn staring at her with that look in his eyes.
They’d moved beyondsmolder. It was pure sex.
His hands drove her to the pinnacle so quickly. Should she complain that it would be over too soon or be excited because the next thing was sure to be just as wonderful?
Even more intimate. Although, having his hand on her—and his fingers in her, and his gaze burning through her—was as intimate as they could get.
His voice thrummed in her ears. “That’s it,ma chérie. Squeeze me. So fucking good, but it’ll be even better when it’s my cock inside you. I’ll make you see stars.”
She tilted her head to the clear night sky, grinning as galaxies twinkled down on them. “Sogood.”
It was right to be there. To finally have admitted part of what she needed to tell him. The most important part. The rest were minor details, and they’d figure it out as they went along, but now with his hands driving her onward, Karen dug a little deeper, increasing the speed of her fingers over her clit as sparks flew.
“Finn.”
The hand on her hip tightened, and the fingers inside her slowed. Which was good, because her body attempted to trap him in place, and the slight motion was just enough to drive her orgasm even higher.
His fingers slid out. The next bit got a little messy between dragging a condom out of his pocket and opening his jeans enough to free his cock and get it covered.
Then she was up on the bench, straddling him, gazing into his passion-filled eyes.
He pressed a kiss between her breasts.
Her skirt hung over his thighs, and if it weren’t for the pornographic view of the open bodice of her dress, no one would’ve known what they were doing. Maybe they could guess as she rose and fell over his thick length, rubbing the wetness of her sex over the rock-solid temptation rising skyward.
Finn caught her hips and stilled her, adjusting until his tip pressed between her folds.
Then he kissed her, wild and hungry, fire flaring. She was sure he would drive himself deep, but he waited, teasing with just enough pressure that she knew he was there. Impossible to ignore, perfect anticipation rising.
She was breathless when he finally let her pull her lips away, panting as she met his gaze, and it was then that he pressed her down. A slow, inevitable joining that finished with her soft sigh of satisfaction.
The last bit of Old Karen vanished in a baptism of new hope.
Finn brushed a hand over her cheek, wiping away a lingering tear. “I love you,” he said again. “I know I’m broken still, but I plan to do everything I have to so you’ll know it’s true. Inside and out.”
Her heart sparkled. “You’re doing pretty good for a broken guy. Just saying.”
That rare grin of his appeared. “I’d better live up to your expectations.”
She didn’t know how he did it, considering he wasn’t the most mobile at that moment, but it only took a few minutes for him to begin to blow her mind.
His grip on her hips provided the pulse of motion that set her strumming again.
“Put your fingers back on your pussy,ma chérie. I want to feel you with me again.”
She didn’t care if she came again or not, but with him looking at her as if she’d actually hung the stars, the whirl of sensation inside was inevitable.
She’d talked about fireflies, but this was sensual pleasure mixed with the light in her heart, and all of it together meant, as she teetered toward the edge, the physical and the emotional mixed solidly.
As her body gave in, it was only an echo of what was in her heart. Pleasure—connection. To this man.
Finn made a noise as she clamped down on his cock. A happy, grunting,laughingsound.
Amusement rushed in. She snickered in response, and suddenly there they were, an orgasm still rippling through her body but laughter surrounding them as well.
His hands on her hips eased, sliding around to her back, caressing now. Lips coming together as they kissed with smiles on their faces. Slowing, still connected physically, and definitely connected on an even more intimate level.
When she pressed her cheek to his and squeezed her arms tight, it felt right. Coming back to earth after having visited the stars.
