“Absolutely,” I rasp. The last button pops free, and I drop my mouth to her breast, sucking the nipple. She bucks against the door with a wild little whimper.
She’s fucking perfect.
“Oh fuck, Lawson.”
I roll the hard peak with my tongue, earning a fist that clamps down in my hair. I bite down and suck the burn that would follow away with one long draw, letting her nipple pop from my lips. Her shoulders are set back onto the door, her head tilted to one side as she writhes against it.
“Baby, look at you.” I brush my fingers over the side of her temple, and she turns to face me. My fingers brush over her lips. “More?”
“More.”
I peel her from the door, walking through the apartment with her wrapped around my waist. Her hands wander my face, her kisses dotting over my jaw and down my neck. I lose my footing as I groan into her neck before we reach her bedroom.
“You sure?” I rasp.
“Yes, Cowboy. I’m sure.”
I set her down on her feet, and she steps back, putting distance between us as she slides the pajama top from her shoulders and it hits the floor. My rock-hard cock turns impossibly harder, throbbing as each breath burns through my lungs. My body vibrates with each heartbeat, blood thundering through my body, concentrating south.
“Now the rest, Princess.”
“Who knew you’d be bossy in the bedroom?” Her words are full of sass, as is the curl of her lips as she slips a finger behind the waistband of her pajama pants on each hip.
They join her top and she stands in only black lace panties, stealing the last of my breath at the sight of her.
Chapter 26
CARLIE
Who knew standing naked in front of this one man would have me nervous? I don’t get nervous with men.
It’s never been serious enough to bother.
Until now.
Now, the way Lawson makes me feel is unsettling, like something wild and free with a life of its own. My body trembles as I stand, chest heaving. The wisps of air gracing my lungs despite their desperate rise and fall sears.
I’m out of control. I have no say in the way my body responds to his.
I love it. I hate it.
Ineedhim. Every inch of me burns, the only way to douse it being his touch. I’m not sure when this happened, but somehow, he snuck past the wall I so meticulously built to keep people out.
Possibly, it had something to do with the shape of his big heart.
“You tell me to stop, and we will.” His knuckles graze my jaw, his blue eyes searching mine. “But hell, Princess.” His voice is pure gravel.
I don’t want him to stop, even if he—we—could.
I close the distance between us and slide my fingers over his jawline and into his hair as I breathe, “No stopping. No second-guessing. No holding back.”
“Don’t need to tell a man twice,” he growls.
He fuckinggrowlsat me.
Rough hands grip my ass, and I’m back up on his hips a second later. Hungry open-mouthed kisses travel up my neck, and I roll my head back as my eyes flutter shut with the ecstasy.
Oh god.
