“Come inside,” I murmured against the damp skin of his neck.
“I’m filthy. Let me jump in the pool first to rinse off.”
I debated about whether or not I wanted to stop kissing him long enough to let him take a dip in the pool, but then Theo decided for both of us.
And pulled me over the edge.
CHAPTER EIGHT
THEO
The cool waterhelped dampen my body’s desperate desire to jump the man, but it definitely didn’t squash it completely. A doused Bennett Graham was just as sexy as a dry one.
“Fuck,” he said when he came up sputtering.
“Forgive me, but you were standing so close to the edge. I couldn’t resist.”
He lunged at me and shoved me under the water before yanking me up again, wrapping his arms around me, and kissing me breathless.
The scratch of his beard was different, and the strength of his arms around me was thrilling.
I could get used to kissing this man. It had been a while since I’d been with someone, since I’d been pretty much fixated on Bennett and only Bennett since the Wing Off in April. The anticipation of seeing and touching his naked body made me hard again, despite the cool water.
“Can we go inside?” I asked between kisses.
“You sure?”
Ever the gentleman.Soadorable.
Instead of responding, I shot him an incredulous look. He laughed and followed me to the stairs. We toweled off in amad rush as we raced upstairs to his bedroom. Like the rest of his house, Bennett’s bedroom managed to be both timeless and modern. I was dimly aware of muted wallpaper, a mahogany dresser with intricate carvings, a matching four-poster bed, and Art Deco lamps that probably made the place cozy and comfortable in the winter.
But I didn’t care about any of that right now. I was hard again. Desperate for him. He was tall and broad, with leanly muscled arms and thighs, big hands, and long fingers. His shoulders were a work of art I wanted to worship for hours. But his eyes—God, those intense gray-green eyes—were my favorite thing ever, especially now that they were focused on me.
“What do you like?” I asked between kisses to the side of his neck and down his chest.
Bennett’s hands moved down into my wet shorts and gripped my ass. I shimmied my hips as I yanked the clinging material down.
“With you?” he asked in a rough voice. “Anything. Want to put my mouth all over you. Make you feel good. Make you come.”
Air seemed to be in short supply as the image of Bennett sucking me off bloomed in full color in my head. I yanked his wet T-shirt over his head. “Get this off,” I begged. We stripped each other down until we were completely bare and plastered to each other’s fronts. The feel of his thick cock against mine made me groan. I reached down to stroke it. “Fuck, yes.”
His hands were back on my ass, lifting me into another hungry kiss. We stumbled to the bed, where he stopped kissing me long enough to nudge me down onto the side of the bed. He met my eyes and then sank to his knees on the rug.
“Please,” I whispered.
His eyes shone, and the edge of his mouth quirked up. “You want me to suck you?”
I threw my head back with a groan. “You need to ask?”
His hot, wet tongue lashed up my shaft, causing me to cry out and reach for his shoulders. He quickly sucked the tip of my cock into his mouth and began working me over with his mouth. There was zero hesitation and complete ownership in his movements.
“Oh fuck. Christ. Just like that.” I moved my hands up into his hair and combed the damp locks with my fingers. It had already started drying into a crazy array of flipped-up ends. I loved that there was enough for me to grab hold of as his head began to bob and his tongue made my head spin.
Bennett’s wide palms moved up and down my legs. I watched the darker golden tan of his fingers in contrast to the pale skin of my upper thighs. There was something intoxicating about seeing a man’s hands on my body, especiallythisman.
For as nervous as Bennett seemed to have been about tonight, he was completely confident now that his hands and mouth were on me.
“Bennett,” I hissed when I worried I would come before I even touched his dick.
