pussy.
But…but…
The thick head pushed between my labia.
The last time I was on fire for any man it was Clay. Four years ago. And then he’d ripped my heart out and tossed it away.
Oh God, this was happening too fast. Much too fast. What was I doing?
He gave me a chance to say no. He was right. I needed a minute to think. What was I doing?
What the fuck was I doing?
“Wait,” I said, sucking in shallow gasps of air. My heart was thumping fast and hard. My head was spinning. “Please, stop.”
He jerked backward, lifting his upper body with his arms. We stared at each other, both gasping and flushed. Dark need flashed in his eyes and the air crackled with electricity. An invisible force tugged at us, pulling our bodies closer, closer. And once again, a pounding ache throbbed between my legs. Stomach muscles contracted, hips rocked, wet, warm tissues rubbed against narrow hips. And quivers shimmied up my spine.
My head screamed stop.
But my body shouted yes, yes, YES.
One side of his mouth curled up, producing a wicked smile. He caught my wrists in one hand and pinned them over my head.
Ooh! This was different, how he took control. Exciting!
He slid his free hand down my arm. Fingertips tickling, soft touches teasing. They traveled across the top of my chest then down the center, over my racing heart.
I sucked in a breath and held it, waiting, wondering what he would do next…and what I would do next. I could barely believe it. Here I was. Here we were. Together again. Bodies writhing beneath a blanket of stars.
After all this time. And all that heartbreak.
He said he’s sorry. He won’t do it again.
His wandering fingertip followed the curve of my breast, and nerves fired, sending heat pulsing through my body. Still, even as my body surrendered to his touch, warnings echoed through my mind. Struggling with my inner conflict, I writhed, trying to tug my hands free. The man I was with today was much stronger than the teen I’d known four years ago. Strong hands, arms… will.
If I didn’t stop him now, I would lose my chance. There would be no refusing him. Even if I wanted to. He would have me. Tonight. Now.
“Say it,” he whispered in my ear.
His warm breath caressed the sensitive skin on my neck. It dimpled, goose bumps burning my arm and chest.
“Say what?” I asked. What did he want to hear?
What did I want to say? No? Stop? Yes? Please?
Oh God, I was so confused!
His hand glided down the hollow of my stomach and I shuddered.
“Say it,” he repeated, voice sharper. He traced a line down the column of my neck with the tip of his tongue and I shivered. I curled my fingers into tight fists.
“Say what?” I repeated, this time on a whimper. That wicked hand slipped down between my trembling legs, and I sucked in a gasp. I couldn’t breathe. “I…” I mumbled. I gazed up into eyes so dark and dangerous my muscles locked.
Dammit, what do I want?Make up your fucking mind!
His lip curled into a sexy smile. “I tried to resist. This is going to complicate everything. But…dammit…” He fisted my hair, forcing my head to the side.
What the hell was this? Why was he being so rough?
And what did he mean, tried to resist?
I wanted answers. But I couldn’t speak, couldn’t move. I shut down. Shock. Need. I was so overwhelmed by both I merely lay there. My scalp burned, but I didn’t cry out. The pain was nothing compared to the agony pounding through the rest of my body.
Pain so, so good.
I opened my mouth. Words sat on the tip of my tongue. I didn’t know what those words were, not until I heard them. “Do it. Take me.”
Did I really just say that?
Releasing my hair, he grabbed my top with both hands. “What did you say?” He yanked it over my head and a gush of juices dampened my labia. He unhooked my bra. “What did you
