She did as he asked, her body buzzing with anticipation as his breath ghosted across her mouth, his evergreens-in-winter scent surrounding her.
With a delicate touch that made herinsanelywet, Gabriel unbuttoned her shirt, one button at a time. Pushing it off her shoulders, he lowered his mouth to the top of her breasts, dragging his tongue from one curve to the other, his thumbs scraping over her nipples, teasing her through the lace bra.
“Gabriel,” she breathed. Melted.
Holy hell, the things this man can do with his mouth…
“You’re not talking tonight, moonflower,” he said. “I’mtalking. About all the things I’m going to do to you, one breath, one touch, one kiss at a time.”
He shifted back to her mouth again and bit her lower lip, tugging gently.
Jaci sighed, wanting nothing more than to follow the force of that tug and fall right into him.
His hands trailed up her back and unclasped her bra, sliding it off her shoulders and dropping it to the floor.
With her eyes closed, Jaci’s other senses were on high alert, Gabriel’s every touch leaving a trail of fire in its wake.
“First, I’m going to finish stripping you bare,” he said, and she held her breath, heart thundering as she awaited the next sensation.
It came along her abdomen, soft fingers sliding across her skin, dipping inside the waistband of her jeans, slowly pushing the button through the hole. He tugged down the zipper, slid the fabric down over her hips.
A rush of cool air swirled around her as the infuriating vampire dropped to his knees, slowly guiding her out of the last scraps of clothing.
Jaci stood bare, her back to the fireplace, the warmth of the flames on her backside a stark contrast to the cool air caressing her nipples. For a long beat, she heard nothing but the crackling fire, felt nothing but the absence of Gabriel’s touch.
She opened her mouth to speak, the desperate need to obey his commands warring with an even more desperate need to call him back. Everything in her fuckingburnedfor him. If he didn’t fuck her soon—with his hands, his mouth, his mouthwatering cock—the wait alone would surely incinerate her.
“Gabriel,” she finally blurted out. “Where are you?”
“Tsk, tsk, little moonflower,” he whispered. Somehow, he was behind her now, his hot mouth close to her ear. “I told you, no talking. Now I’ll have to add another punishment to the long, long list of things I’m going to do to you.”
The air around her shifted again, and then he was in front once more, fingers sliding up her neck and into her hair, pulling it until she tilted her head back, giving him unrestricted access to her throat. The tip of his nose tracing a path from her jaw to her collarbone, then back up again.
His every touch sizzled, sending tiny spasms of pleasure reverberating through her core, straight up her spine.
She wanted him to bite her again. To sink his fangs into the spot just beneath her ear, his tongue working over her flesh as he drank from her, slowly losing control…
“You need to come,” he murmured, his voice as jagged as his breathing. “The scent of your desire is… overpowering.”
“Hmm. Who’s fault is that?”
The insubordination earned her a smack on the ass that did nothing to cool the surge of heat between her thighs.
“Naughty little witch.” Gabriel slid his fingers out of her hair, slowly trailing down to her breasts, her nipples, her stomach. His wandering hands finally settled on her hips, and with a firm grip, he tugged her forward.
“Three steps,” he said softly, guiding her in the direction of one of the chairs. “That’s it. Right here.”
She felt him sit down, then he pulled her into his lap.
Keeping her eyes shut tight, she straddled him, shocked to feel he was naked too.
She hadn’t even heard him undress, but now he sat beneath her, his rock-hard body hot and slick where their skin touched—his hands on her ass, her knees bracketing his hips.
Gabriel leaned forward, his mouth close to hers once more. “Open your legs for me.”
She obeyed, parting her thighs as much as she could in the chair and shifting forward until she felt the hot press of his cock at her entrance.
“I’ve been dreaming of this moment all night,” he said softly. “Making you come on my cock. Hearing youbegme for it.”
