just inches away from hers when he whispered, “Really. You looked good enough to eat.”
His words had his desired effect. When she immediately shut her eyes and let out a low groan, he knew she was recalling when he did just that.
He couldn’t stop himself, if he wanted to, from kissing her at that exact moment. This wasn’t one of those, cherry pie, nice but ho-hum, kisses. No, this was amazing; fireworks going off, never want it to end kiss.
Malachi had their bodies pulled so close together that he could feel her erratic heartbeat mixed with his. This fueled his desire even more and made him realize that they both were still wearing too many clothes. She must have agreed, because she had already started to peel his shirt off him.
Once they managed to get him undressed, he grabbed her again to resume their kiss. This time his hands started caressing her body. He was learning all the different sounds she made while his hands explored…his own little symphony.
His mouth made its way from her mouth to her ear, then her neck. Finally he was where he wanted to be. When he reached her shoulder, he took the strap to her negligee between his teeth and pulled. He must have tugged harder than he thought, because immediately the strap tore free from the material. Oh well, same end result, he thought. Making his way to the other shoulder, he was betting that if he did the same thing she would let out that sexy little yelp again. He bit down, pulled, and smiled about being right.
He let his hand pull down the top half of what she was wearing to reveal her breasts right before his mouth latched onto one. She then ran her fingers into his hair, arching a little into his mouth. He continued to feast while he was marveling at the feeling of her hands.
One of his hands started to travel south. It stopped at her hip and gave a small squeeze before continuing its descent down to her knee. Once there, he started moving his hand back up, but taking with it, the hem to her nightgown. He didn’t stop until she was showing everything.
When his hand slowly moved to the apex of her thighs, she pulled slightly away and shook her head. “Me first.” Her whispered words made him pause in his advances, but her next statement made his heart stop.
“It’s my turn to touch you …do a little exploring of my own.”
“Why?” Would he even be able to handle her touch?
“Because I’ve barely gotten to see any of you. I want to look at you, touch you…memorize you.”
It had been a long time since he had trusted anyone with complete access to him before. It was just a dream though. What’s the worst that could happen? Eying her warily, he slowly laid on his back, not taking his eyes from her. When he was settled, he opened his arms to her. “Okay, I’m all yours.”
She quickly got to her knees beside him then tentatively put her hand on his chest. Locking eyes with him, she slowly moved it to one side, then the other before bringing her attention back to what she was doing. When she moved it to an arm, she whispered, “You’re so strong, you have muscles everywhere.”
He automatically resorted to what he would have said to any other human that made the comment; never wanting people to become suspicious of what he really was. “Well…yeah, um…I work ou…”
He was stopped mid-sentence when her fingers pressed over his lips. “Shh…I was just going to say that it’s nice. It feels good when you’re on top of me; makes me feel…sheltered.”
“Oh.” He couldn’t help the small smile that came to his mouth. Here, he was just an ordinary man with a beautiful woman.
She slowly lowered herself till she was lounging beside him with her head propped in her hand.
“You have the most beautiful eyes.” She said when they locked gazes. Malachi shut his eyes when her finger tips went to caress them. He then opened them back up when he felt her fingers move down his nose. Her fingers proceeded to follow over his lips
