and he had no idea how he was going to last long enough to prolong what was between them if the process of simply removing his clothes was causing such a rush in the blood.
Nathan made quick work of his slacks and briefs, impatient to remove the remaining barriers to skin-to-skin contact before rolling Keira underneath him.
“Now it’s my turn.”
His hands ran a path up her thigh to where her dress bunched around her waist. Silently grateful for whatever brilliant fashion designer had created her silk confection as all one piece, he continued moving the material up the length of her body before lifting it over her head and dropping it to the side of the bed.
“That’s an original design,” she admonished lightly as his hands settled underneath the heavy globes of her breasts.
He leaned forward and pressed his mouth to the soft skin of her abdomen. “My undying gratitude to the designer for the incredible forethought on how the piece would be removed.”
Without giving her an opportunity to reply, Nathan fastened his mouth on the pert nipple that beckoned him through the cream-colored satin of her bra. Her low moan of approval turned darker, deeper as his fingers reached up to ply the fabric over her other nipple.
“Nathan…”
His name reached him on a sigh as he shifted position, tracing the line of her bra toward the clasp in the back. Her breasts came free of the material and he granted himself a moment to simply look, visually feasting on the perfect curves of her body.
She was beautiful, every inch of her skin intoxicating in its perfection. Impatient, he pressed her back against the pillows as the fevered need raged once more. “I want to love you.”
Her arms came around his back and he felt the tightening of her fingers against his spine. “Yes.”
His lips pressed to hers, his hands resumed their restless exploration of her body. Want and longing coalesced, then expanded in heavy waves of pleasure as the moment spun out between them, their threads wrapping them up tighter in each other.
Nathan pulled himself from the exquisite softness of her lips and kissed a trail down the underside of her chin, over her smooth throat. Lifting his head, he focused on her, his body growing even harder at the arousal that glowed in her passion-glazed eyes and wet lips. Her already dark eyes grew hazier as his fingers played over her breasts before circling her nipples. His straining erection pressed against the soft skin of her thigh and he fought to maintain the razor’s edge of control, even as his body screamed for release. He wouldn’t give in yet, not until the need that arced between them became a living, breathing entity.
But then Keira turned the tables on him.
Her lazy smile broadened and her gaze turned predatory as her fingers closed over the thick length of him. Tight pressure encircled his flesh, dragging his breath in a heavy exhale that quickly became a moan.
“Keira.”
“Hmm…” She added movement to the heavy pressure and stars shot in a wavy pattern behind his eyes as pleasure built at the base of his spine.
“You’re driving me crazy.” He grabbed her hands and locked them above her head before pressing his lips against hers once more.
“That’s the whole point, Nathan.”
His fingers glided against the apex of her thighs before finding purchase in the warm wetness of her body. Her tight inner muscles clamped against him and he added another finger of pressure, all the while pressing his thumb against the tight bundle of nerves at the core of her pleasure.
A heavy moan escaped her as she clutched at his shoulders. He leaned down and pressed his lips to her ear, desperate to keep his own raging needs in control, on opposite sides yet reaching for the same victory. “Come for me, baby.”
He knew the moment she went over, the hard clutch of her fingers on his shoulders a match for the tight clench of her inner muscles as they pulsed around his hand. Long, glorious moments
