“Och, that’s my sweet lass,” he murmured.
He wriggled two fingers under her stays, rubbing over her nipple. His touch was magnetic, like nothing she’d ever experienced before.
“Goodness,” she gasped.
He didn’t reply, since he was apparently too busy unlacing her stays. When they gaped a bit, he swiped a thumb over the now-stiff peak. Charlie bit her lip, trying not to moan, but he did it again. Sensation shot from the tip of her breast to deep between her thighs, causing her to squirm in his arms.
Kade groaned. “Hell and damnation, sweetheart. You’re going to drivemeto the madhouse.”
She reached up and pressed a kiss to the side of his mouth. “As long as they lock us up together, I don’t mind.”
He snorted and returned his attention to her body, cupping her breast. “I don’t mean to be rude, but your shirt is beginning to annoy me.”
“I can fix that,” she replied.
When she straightened up, her bottom—and other parts of her—pressed down on his rock-hard erection. She froze, fighting the urge to wriggle against him to assuage the growing ache between her thighs.
Kade studied her through eyes that had narrowed to glittering cobalt slits. “You were saying?”
“Right. My shirt.”
Taking her courage—and her shirt—between her hands, she yanked it straight over her head and tossed it to the floor. She obviously surprised Kade even more than she did herself, because his eyes opened wide and a dark flush glazed his cheeks.
Her stays sagged down, partially exposing her breasts, and the cool night air nipped her skin. But the heat in his gaze meant that she barely felt it.
“God, lass,” he said in a rough voice. “You are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.”
His look was so riveting, so voracious, that she had to swallow twice before she could answer. “I’m glad you approve.”
“I more than approve.”
He pressed a lingering kiss to her lips as one hand cupped her breast. Through the fabric of her stays, he thumbed her nipple, teasing and stroking until a sultry heat cascaded through her body. He stroked his fingers up over the swell of her breast, and then slipped them under her sagging stays. When he gently tugged on her nipple, she almost cried out. The sensation was electrifying.
“Kade,” she gasped.
“More?”
“Yes.”
“Good, because I want to see everything,” he growled.
He nudged the straps of her stays down and then tugged on the front. Her breasts popped free. Her nipples, dark and stiff, seemed to grow even tighter under his avid gaze.
“You are so damn lovely,” he murmured.
His voice alone seemed to melt every bone in her body
Kade lowered his head, and his tongue flicked out, wetting the stiff peak of her nipple. Charlie tried to squirm, silently urging him to increase the pressure, but he held her firmly as he tormented her. He went from one breast to the other, teasing and flicking his tongue over them until they were equally flushed and hard. Sensation rocked her body, and she couldn’t hold back a moan.
“That’s it, sweetheart,” he rasped, glancing up.
She tightened her hand on the back of his skull and pulled him in for a frenzied kiss. Too soon, he broke free of her.
“Kade,” she moaned. “Don’t stop—”
She almost choked when he squeezed a flushed nipple between his fingertips. Then his mouth was on her. She jerked, but he held her tightly, lavishing attention on her breasts. For long, delicious moments he played with her, before sucking the stiff peak into his mouth.
Charlie felt herself go up in flames, as everything inside turned hot and wet. She arched her back, pressing against his lips, wanting to give him everything.
