Their gazes once again locked, and the sound of his labored breathing reverberated straight to the center of her being. Everything about this man flipped internal switches to the on position, yet another new-to-her experience.
Caleb kissed her briefly and took her hand from his shoulder. He clasped their hands together and led her the rest of the way to his bedroom. “I want to undress you.”
“The feeling is mutual.” Theresa began unbuttoning his shirt the moment they stopped walking. She paused to kiss his bared skin as she worked her way down his chest. The quick intake of his breath as she slid her palms over his lean torso, and the moan her touch elicited, sent a head-to-toe thrill through her.
“My turn,” he rasped out. “Arms up.” Caleb raised her shirt by the hem and tugged it off over her head. Groaning, he cupped her breasts and used his thumbs to tease her hardened nipples through her black satin-and-lace bra.
“Damn, Theresa. You could make a ton of money as a Victoria’s Secret model, only … please don’t. I’m feeling … a little possessive where you’re concerned.”
She had to stifle the urge to giggle at his ridiculous comment, but all thought left her as he brushed his lips across the swell of one breast and then the other.
Caleb undid the front clasp of her bra and slid the straps off her shoulders. The wispy bit of satin slipped to the floor. He made a rumbly purring sound deep in his throat and once again cupped her sensitive breasts. “Perfection.”
“These jeans have to go.” She unbuckled his belt and slid the leather slowly from the loops. Moving closer to him, she tugged his shirt down over his shoulders and let it drop to the floor. Running her fingertips along the skin of his chest, Theresa teased his hardened nipples, leaving a trail of shivering flesh in her wake.
Caleb leaned in and kissed her as she undid the snap and the fly of his jeans. “Help me get these off,” she whispered against his mouth.
He cupped her bottom and brought her pelvis against his hardness. Trailing kisses along her neck, he walked her to his bed until the back of her knees hit the mattress, and she fell back. “Glad to be of service,” he said as he stripped out of the rest his clothes before helping her out of her capris.
Straightening, Caleb gazed at her from head to toe, pausing at her black satin-and-lace panties. His look heated, and he flashed her a wolfish grin. “I am one lucky son of a bitch.”
“Come here.” Theresa scooted over and patted the mattress, and Caleb joined her. They came together in a tangle of limbs, passion, and frenetic exploration, as all the unleashed desire she’d been stifling took over.
“Theresa, how do you feel about …” He peered at her, his uncertainty clear to see.
“What?”
“I want to taste you … here,” he croaked out as he slid his magic fingers along the cleft of her sex. “Would you be okay with that?”
“Yes.” Theresa had no idea whether or not she’d be okay. She and her ex had never been adventurous in bed. Yet, with Caleb, she was more than willing to try any number of things so long as the activity involved his body and hers coming together.
He kissed, nipped, and licked his way down to the apex of her thighs. “So sweet and soft here. Mmm, you taste so good, Theresa.”
Her insides quivered, and she held her breath when Caleb spread her thighs. His intense perusal, and the heated, hungry look suffusing his features brought on an almost unbearable wave of throbbing need. Her hips came up off the bed the moment he kissed his way along the inside of her upper thigh. She groaned as he parted her folds and ran his tongue over her swollen, aroused flesh. When he flicked his tongue over her clit, she nearly came.
“Caleb!” she cried. Theresa gripped the bedspread beneath her and closed her eyes. Everything in her world narrowed, centering around the pleasurable sensations Caleb evoked.
He moaned and increased the pressure until she dissolved into a puddle of ecstasy. Every cell in her body spasmed with her release, and the next instant, he was inside her. Theresa gripped his buttocks and strained against him with every thrust as aftershocks continued to rack through her.
Caleb cried out her name as he climaxed. Breathing heavily, he collapsed onto his side and drew her close. “Life-altering,” he whispered against the skin of her neck as he nuzzled her.
“Definitely,” she agreed.
Caleb ran a hand up and down her back. “Are you okay? Any spiraling going on?”
“Uhm, other than being completely boneless and utterly satisfied do you mean? I’m good.” Theresa smiled. “You are so damned amazing at this.” She waved her hand over their naked bodies pressed together.
His deep chuckle vibrated against her, and she lifted her head to peer at him. “You are truly amazing, Caleb. Not just as a lover, but as a man. You aren’t the only one feeling lucky.” She traced a finger over his brow and down the side of his face.
His Adam’s apple bobbed again, only this time she could see his struggle. All those years of reading people came to the fore, and she knew his emotions were as raw and overwhelming as hers. She also sensed neither of them were ready for the L word, and he appeared to be searching for something to say.
“We should probably get to work.” She ran her hand up and down his arm. “Mary is expecting a demo.” Sighing, she climbed off his bed and headed for his bathroom to the sound of another masculine rumble coming from him. Theresa could feel his gaze on her backside. “Work, Caleb. Get dressed.”
“If you insist,” he groused.
“I do.” Theresa smiled at him over her shoulder before disappearing into the bathroom. She experienced a surge of triumph at her newfound confidence. She’d done what she’d set out to do, and she had no regrets. Best not to think about the future. Instead, she reveled in the moment. Let the future take care of itself. For now, she intended to savor the bliss.
