eyes on her, though, almost made him come, and that premature release would be an embarrassment to his Clan if they ever found out.
    First he removed her boots, followed by the socks. That seemed the safest place to begin until she wiggled her toes. Curious, he ran a thumb over her smoothly painted toenails. “Pretty.”
    “I have a few other things you might like, too.”
    The woman was such a tease. She clearly had no idea how close he was to bursting. “I can’t wait.”
    Whatever the body-hugging T-shirt covered would surely set him further on fire. He slid his hands under the material and her warm smooth skin made his pulse race with desire. Not wanting to act like a randy teenager, he eased her top up, but the moment it cleared her tits, exposing a delicate lace pink bra, he closed his eyes in the hope the brief respite would help calm him.
    It didn’t.
    He finished removing her shirt and inhaled, but that was another mistake. She was a combination of cream, lavender, and pure freshness, and his fingers itched to touch every bit of her delicious body.
    “I don’t know where to begin. You are glory personified,” he said.
    She laughed. “You do know how to make a woman feel good.”
    “I’m only speaking the truth.” If she’d been a shifter, she might have had an inkling of what he was going through, but as a human, he doubted she could feel this immense sexual pressure that built with each second they were together.
    Wanting to show her he could be a considerate lover, Cord slowly lowered the straps on her bra. With each inch, anticipation built. He reached behind her, and when he unhooked the clasp, she lowered her arms, allowing the material to float to her lap. Once her breasts were exposed, Cord emitted a low, deep growl. As much as he wanted to tell her how beautiful she was, showing her what she did to him seemed best.
    He cupped one of her breasts in his palm, leaned over, and encircled her nipple with his tongue. The delicate tip puckered, and she let out a sigh.
    “It feels so good. Don’t stop,” she begged.
    Her breathy response nearly killed him. “Trust me. I have no intention of doing so.”
    Knowing that he’d pleased her, he tugged on her nipple with his teeth, and lifted the other breast. Its heaviness enticed him, making him want to suckle even harder. When she dragged her nails down his arms, streaks of pleasure shot through him, forcing him to inhale her light scent, causing his feral urges to surface.
    “I need you now,” he whispered. He tried to convince himself that once they were both naked, he could take his time, but deep inside, he knew better. He slipped his arms under her legs and swept her off the counter. “I want to do this the right way.”

    While Cord certainly seemed to enjoy her body, Piper hoped she didn’t disappoint him when they began making love. His tender touch and soft moans had already settled under her skin, driving her close to the brink. She wanted to kiss and touch him all over, but she wasn’t certain how someone like him would react if she went crazy on him. He seemed so worldly and experienced, and while she’d slept with a few men, she was hardly a temptress in bed.
    As he carried her down the hallway, she felt light and delicate, something she hadn’t experienced in a long time. He entered her bedroom, and she inwardly groaned. She hadn’t taken the time to make her bed, nor had she put back some of the outfits she had discarded when trying on a few tops.
    He set her down next to the bed, cupped her shoulders, and when he leaned over to kiss her, the hungry contact made her pussy go wild. She wrapped her arms around his waist and drew him close. She opened her mouth to invite him in, and when he accepted, she stroked her tongue against his. Ripples of joy slid along her spine, and she dug her fingers into his corded back, loving how with each thrust, his back muscles rippled. It was only because she needed air that
