Gently, he stroked her through every twitch, every hitched breath.
When she was done coming, he removed his hand from her leggings, turned her in his arms, and let her watch, eyes heavy-lidded, as he licked his fingers clean.
A bit tart. Earthy, which seemed appropriate for her. Perfect.
The sunshine through the over-sink window gilded her. She was flushed and dewy and languid, leaning heavily against him, and he wished he had enough talent to capture that look on film. Not that he wanted anything to puncture this private, idyllic bubble of a moment.
With his thumb, he stroked a strand of hair away from her still-damp temple. “That was even better than I’d imagined.”
Her voice was husky. Amused. “You... you imagined this? Making me come in my kitchen?”
“The kitchen part was improvised.” He chased the flush on her round cheeks with his lips, letting it warm him. “But when you rubbedthat amazing ass against me on the sidewalk, I wanted to get my hand into your pants and grind against you as you came around my fingers.”
She let out a breathy sound, and he drew back to grin at her.
“So smug,” she said, and he was almost certain that was meant to sound like a complaint. But there was too much affection in her tone for that, too much satisfaction.
“Where’s your bed?” He ducked down to trace the plump peninsula of her earlobe with his nose, then with his tongue. “I want to see you spread out for me.”
She made that sound again, and yes, he would admit it.
As she led him by the hand to her bedroom, his smile was definitely smug.
