“OK.” She nodded as though we were about to shake on an important business deal. “We might have to wait though. I don’t think we can do anything for a day or two. You’re quite... big.”
I reached for her hands and gathered her in my arms. Her soft curves molded to me. Such a relief to hold her after seeing her so panicked. I locked my hands around her spine and placed a kiss on the top of her head.
“Big, huh?”
Her chuckle reverberated through my chest. “I’m just a little sore.”
I whispered into her hair. “Why don’t you let me kiss you better?”
“I don’t think it’s going to help.”
“That depends where I’m kissing.”
She kept her face pressed against my T-shirt. I pushed her gently back so I could look at her. Her blush was the brightest I’d seen.
She bit her lip. “You don’t have to do that.”
A shiver of anticipation went through me. I could drive this woman out of her fucking mind, and I’d be the first to experience that with her. I could take my time and make up for last night.
“Look at me.” I tilted her face up with my finger. “That’s something on your list, isn’t it? Oral? Do you trust me to make it a good experience for you?”
Her eyes met mine. A shock of heat spread through me. I was up for the challenge of making that blush deepen. She nodded. I took her hand and tried not to break into a sprint. I shouldn’t have been volunteering for this, but fuck it. I’d never been good at playing by the rules. Not even my own.
Chapter 26
Kieran
“Take off your pajamas. Do it slowly.”
She chuckled, but shyness lurked in her gaze. This felt different in the daylight. More real. Despite what she’d said, this was a responsibility. Last night I’d been so consumed with my pleasure, I hadn’t focused enough on hers.
Her fingers trembled around her buttons. “It’s hard to take pajamas off and look sexy.”
“You make everything sexy.”
She held my gaze and unbuttoned her pajama shirt, letting it fall open. The sunlight streaming in through the slatted windows illuminated her honey-blonde hair, making it gleam like gold. She’d looked like she worked in corporate when I’d seen her all buttoned up at work. Now her hair fell loose and wavy and her makeup-free skin glowed with health. Her tanned, slender frame radiated strength and femininity.
“Well, that settles it,” I muttered to myself.
“Settles what?”
I moved closer and brushed my thumb over her soft nipple, bringing it to a puckered peak. My cock was already so hard. “Nowthat I’ve seen these, there’s no way we’re going back to England. We’re going to stay here forever. Get visas. We’ll get jobs in that little taverna by the marina.”
She chuckled. “People might have something to say about that. The fans will come for me if I keep one of Calverdale’s finest hostage, making flat whites all day.”
“Fuck the fans. They’ll get over it. I’m retraining as a barista.”
“I don’t think you were built for customer service, Kieran. You have to smile at people and wish them a good day.”
I circled her nipple with my thumb. “I knowI’mhaving a good day.”
She chuckled, but it turned into a sigh of pleasure when I sucked one tight rosy nipple into my mouth. Her fingers bit into my shoulders, and I savored her soft moan. I’d take my time. I wouldn’t leave a trace of her beautiful body unexplored.
“I don’t want to ever let you out of this room.” I spoke in between kisses down her sternum. “If I have to tie you to the bed, I will. I can’t believe how many hours of this trip I’ve wasted pretending to care about a fizzy drink when I could have been doing this.”
I dropped to my knees at her feet. She moaned and quivered when I swirled my tongue around her belly button. Slowly, I pulled down her pajama pants. No underwear. A neat patch of sandy hair lay between her thighs. I was already rock hard, but now I had to fight not to take myself in hand.
Her voice threaded with uncertainty. “Was it OK for you last night? Could you tell I didn’t know what I was doing?”
