Page 20 of The Bear's Chosen Mate
He watched her.Breathed deep and took in as much of her scent as possible.Felt every tremor that stole up her body, leaving her fingers quivering.
James lowered his hands to her hips, gentle yet possessive.Anchoring himself, more to make sure he didn’t grab her so tightly that he hurt her than anything else—
He’d regained his control, but it was a tenuous thing.
The edge of her T-shirt had ridden up and his thumbs brushed bare skin.As her palms drifted over his chest and shoulders, her gaze fixed on the point of contact between them, he tortured himself by sneaking his fingers against her.Skin-to-skin contact.The smallest bit.
She dragged her palm over the stubble on his chin, a small smile twisting her lips.“I can’t believe this is happening.”
Sadness still haunted her eyes, and he needed to do something, stat.Needed to get her to stop tormenting herself before the protective instincts inside him let the bear loose again.
“You’re thinking too hard,” he told her.“Let’s do something about that.”
He eased forward just enough that she had to move closer to meet his lips in the middle.When she did, it was him who felt the shudder rack his body.His skin came alive as he took her taste into his mouth, happiness and joy in the motion as if the lightness that was her soul was dancing on his taste buds.
He’d said she was perfect, and as the kiss deepened and Kaylee slid her hands over his shoulders and down his back, bumping their torsos together, he knew it was true.He’d never felt this before.Never felt this deeply or fully.
Sexual craving and the urgency to be inside her was like a white-hot coal in his gut, but the realization his best friend was smooching with him, with flashlights providing ambience, made him smile against her lips.
It was sexual but also fun.Just like them.
Their torsos were close enough her nipples poked against his chest, the hard tips blatantly obvious.
Kaylee twisted her head enough to break contact, dragging in a breath before letting it out in a soft sigh against his cheek.“Not thinking so good anymore,” she informed him.
“More,” he demanded.
She reconnected their lips, but at the same time, she reached down and took hold of his wrists.The kissing was a nice distraction, but he hated letting go of her hips.
The tugging of her hands was too insistent to ignore.Still, James was about to grumble when Kaylee reached her destination, and his mental circuitry fried out.
She’d pressed his palms against her breasts.
“Goddamn it, Kaylee.”
Even to his own ears his voice sounded one step shy of begging.He understood completely when Kaylee laughed.“I thought you said you wanted more.”
Challenge fucking accepted.
He touched her, and she groaned in pleasure, head falling back as her fingers tightened, nails digging into his wrists.
He rolled his finger and thumb again, teasing her nipples like he’d done a moment earlier.“I did.So do you.”
Her breathing picked up a notch, a pulse beating frantically at the base of her throat.The entire time James pinched and tugged, holding the heavy weight of one breast in his hand as he tormented the other.
The agenda said go slow, but it was impossible to not do the next thing.He shoved her T-shirt up, exposing her skin.It only took a second to jostle her into position to wrap his lips around the tight peak.
“James.”His name was a moan of need.
Pulling off with a gentle pop, he licked the tip then blew across it.
Kaylee wiggled in his arms, rising up on her knees.Helping put herself into a position where he could play more easily.
Awesome.Like magic, her T-shirt was gone, and he had both hands and his mouth on her.Kaylee let out a squeal, clutching his head.
There might’ve been a bit of teeth involved this time.
“Oh, James.Yes…” The word echoed as she hissed in pleasure.He sucked again, hard enough to draw a gasp from her lips.
