Certified Disaster (Beautiful Mess Book 2) by Jennifer Preston Read Free Book Online

gave her a wicked smile before devouring her lips again.  When
his hands couldn’t get the access he wanted, Cole lifted her and carried her
over to the couch.  He sat, letting her straddle him, as his hands moved over
her butt and up her back.
    Bri had been going back and forth on
the whole sex thing, but right then she knew exactly what she wanted.  By some
miracle, she and Cole had found each other, and managed to survive everything
that had tried to tear them apart.  Cole loved her.  Suddenly she had no idea
why she had been holding back.  She was ready, and she wanted him more than she’d
ever wanted anything.  So, when his fingers stilled on the straps of her leo,
she pulled back from his delicious lips and smiled.
    “So, there was some talk earlier
about you imagining me naked,”she felt her face flush, and she couldn’t quite meet his eyes.  “Want to
find out if you were right?”   She chanced a glance up at him through her lashes, as she trailed her
fingers over his chest.
    He sat there frozen for a few
moments.  Then a beautiful smile broke out over his face, one of pure happiness
and expectation.  If there had been any doubt before that he owned every 
single piece of her heart, this smile just demolished it.
    “Really?”he asked quietly.  “Are you sure?”
    “More sure than I’ve ever been of
anything.”   She
was barely able to get the words out before his mouth crushed hers. 
    “Besides,”she managed against his mouth, “I’m
dying to see if I’m right, too.”
    “About what,”he sucked on the tattoo behind her
ear, and she moaned.
    “About what you look like naked.”
    He pulled back and grinned at her.  “You
think about me naked?”
    “More like dream about it.  Every
night.”
    He practically groaned, and he
kissed her like he would devour her with just his lips if he could.  He lifted
her and walked them back to his bedroom.  Bri’s heart was already beating fast,
but when he closed the door behind them, it started pounding.  This was really
it.  She was really going to do this.  Her stomach clenched with nerves, but
also with anticipation.  It was a weird dichotomy, to feel nervous about
something you wanted so badly. 
    Cole set her gently on the bed, and
laid down beside her.  The butterflies in her stomach quadrupled.  He trailed
his lips and fingers up her arm, stopping again at the strap on her shoulder,
and looked up at her.  He didn’t say anything, but his eyes asked for
permission.  He was giving her one more chance to change her mind, making sure
this was what she wanted.  Instead of using words, she drew his lips down to
hers and let them answer for her. 
    He pushed down the straps of her
leo, and she heard a disappointed groan.  Looking down, she saw the thin sports
bra she was wearing underneath.
    “Um, I probably should’ve thought
through my choice of outfit a little better,”she laughed nervously, thinking about all the layers of tight clothing
she was wearing.  Not the easiest things to get off in the heat of passion. 
Great, she was already messing this up.
    “No,”he smiled, and helped her sit up.  “I’ll just get to unwrap you.”   Kissing her
softly, he pushed the leo as far down as it would go.  Then he lifted her arms
and pulled her bra up and over her head. 
    Her first instinct was to cover up,
but she kept her arms at her sides.  She could feel herself blushing and hoped
that he wouldn’t notice.  As Cole pulled back and his eyes began to move
downward, she suddenly forgot how to breath. 
    For a moment, doubt flooded her. 
She couldn’t help it.  What if he didn’t like what he saw?  What if she didn’t
measure up to the other girls?  What if he was disappointed with her?
    One look at the wonder and awe on
his face as he looked up at her wiped all of those thoughts from her mind. 
    “Even better than I imagined,”he smiled.
    Bri let out a relieved giggle, and
then Cole was kissing her again.  He
