she’d recovered. It did, kind of, with pointed green leaves and a sort of a jaunty tilt to the stem.
    “It’s very friendly,” he said. “Hasn’t bitten me once.”
    She laughed again, and reached up to pull him down into a kiss.
    And she forgot about laughing right away, because his hands slid down her sides to cup her hips and pull her in to him, and his mouth was insistent against hers, and warmth flushed her cheeks and burned in the pit of her stomach.
    God, she wanted him.
    “Come on,” he whispered into her mouth, and tugged her along through a short hallway into his bedroom.
    He laid her easily down on the bed, and pulled off her shoes, one by one. And then they were back in the same position they’d been at the studio, with him looking down at her.
    “Can you turn on a light?” she murmured. “I want to see you.”
    “I couldn’t agree more.” He flipped on a bedside lamp.
    His eyes immediately took on the golden glow of the light. Lion’s eyes.
    She reached up to trace the line of his cheek, cup his jaw, and leaned up to kiss him again. “You’re gorgeous,” she said.
    “ I’m gorgeous?” He looked almost offended. “Have you seen yourself? Have you ever looked in a mirror? You’re beautiful.” His eyes traced down from her face to her collarbone, and he bent down to place a kiss right in the center of her breastbone.
    “Beautiful,” he murmured again, right into her skin. He went further down, kissing along the line of her shirt.
    “Take it off,” she whispered, unable to stand it any longer.
    He looked up at her, and his eyes were on fire. “My pleasure.”
    He stripped the shirt upward, half-lifted her with one hand on her back and pulled it over her head. Her sports bra followed— not getting tangled up in her face on the way; how did he do that?
    But she forgot to wonder as he leaned down to nuzzle her breast, and his hot, wet mouth closed over her nipple.
    “ Ah ,” she moaned as he sucked gently, and then, “ Aaah!” going up in pitch, as he gave her just a hint of teeth.
    He lifted his head, and she held back a protest. “Just so you know, unlike my plant, I do like to bite. It’s okay if you don’t like it—”
    “No,” she said quickly, “no, no. It’s fine. Please do.”
    He grinned—God, he was attractive when he did that—and bent his head again. He flicked his tongue over her nipple again, bit down very lightly, and then just a little harder, and at her strangled moan, backed off to kiss the skin between her breasts and move his attention to the other one.
    He was so good with his mouth, she thought, as he slowly worked his way down from her breasts to her stomach. He liked to linger on sensitive spots with his soft, soft tongue, making her twitch and press up into his mouth, and only after he’d sucked kisses into her skin did he bite down.
    It was careful and sharp and intensely loving, and it was driving her out of her mind .
    His fingers teased the waistband of her pants, dipping down to stroke underneath her panties, against the line of her pubic hair. She lifted her hips, hinting, and he hooked his fingers under her pants and her panties and pulled them both down at once, stripping them off over her feet in one go. He tugged off her socks, and then she was naked.
    “Your turn,” she said, looking at him at the foot of the bed. “I refuse to be the only naked one.”
    “I won’t argue with that,” he said, and stripped off his workout clothes in no time flat.
    His chest and abs were almost unreal, and she reached out as he crawled up over her again, spreading her hands over his pecs and down to his stomach. His chest hair was just as blond as his head.
    He kissed her softly. “I think I was just about to do something.”
    “Wh—” Sam started, and then he was laying kisses down on the inside of one hip, and then the other, licking across her lower stomach and making the muscles jerk and pleasure flare inside of her. “Oh,” she said, her
