He parted his lips and brushed his tongue over her lips. When she opened for him, he sighed and brought her body against his. His hands cradled her back, not rushing them to anything else.
Nina didn’t know how to handle his delicate touches and his slow pace. She’d never had time. She’d never been allowed to savor a man. Never wanted to. But that was what it felt like. Zeke was savoring their time. He was enjoying every second of it.
And so was she.
He lifted the back of her shirt, his warm hand touching her bare skin as a moan escaped her throat. He inhaled past her cheek, the rush of cold air a contrast to the heat of the rest of him. He tilted his head and deepened the kiss, twirling his tongue around hers without retreating.
His hands moved higher, then a groan had him pulling back. “No bra?”
She shook her head. “I wanted to be comfortable.”
“It was tempting to see you in my sweatshirt and pants all day, but to know your bare breasts were brushing against the fabric makes me crazy, Nina.”
“Is it okay?”
“Also-fucking-lutely, angel. Anything I have is yours.” He brought his hands around to her front as he spoke, teasing the underside of her breasts. “Can I take it off?”
She nodded, moving to help him take the sweatshirt off.
He groaned and cupped both breasts, bringing them together and ducking to take both nipples into his mouth at the same time.
She whimpered at the feel of him. It didn’t matter that she’d been naked with him already, or that he’d touched her all over, it was different. It was sensual and teasing and made her feel worthy.
He kissed down her stomach and dropped to his knees. He wrapped both arms around her and hugged her to him, his head against her belly. “Thank you for coming back to me, Nina.”
“Thank you for answering my call. And coming to get me.”
Zeke kissed her stomach, then swirled his tongue in her bellybutton.
She gasped at the way the simple move made her tremble. Everything Zeke did seemed to have that effect on her.
“Can I take off your pants?” he whispered against her bellybutton.
“Yes.”
He hooked his fingers in the waistband and grabbed her panties with the lounge pants. “Panties, too?”
“Yes.”
He eased both down her legs, letting them fall to the floor at her feet. She stepped out of them, and he tossed both to the side, leaving her completely naked in the middle of his bedroom. “You’re so beautiful, Nina. God, I’m so lucky to be here with you. Thank you.”
“I’m the lucky one,” she replied.
He kissed her thigh and shook his head. “No, angel, I am. I’ve waited for this day for longer than I care to think about. And if today isn’t the day I make love to you, that’s okay. I can keep waiting.”
“I want you to, Zeke. Please.”
“I’m going to enjoy every second of tonight, Nina. We don’t need to rush.”
“I want you.”
“I’m right here, angel. Lay on the bed and spread these legs for me. It’s been too long since I had my mouth on you.”
She hurried to the bed and did as he asked. He crawled over to her, his gaze on her body and sending heat all over her. Moisture pooled between her thighs and dripped from her body before he made it to her.
He slid a finger into her, catching the wetness. “You’re ready for me, huh?”
“Yes,” she whispered.
