Page 66 of Chasing the Sun

She took his outstretched hand and followed him out of the lanai. It was dark in the house, but she trusted him explicitly as he led her down the hall to his bedroom.

Once they were inside, he shut the door and clicked the lock even though they were alone. Then he put his hands on her waist and guided her backward until her legs touched the side of his bed.

She glanced around the room, hardly believing they were in there naked. When they’d first met, she never would have imagined this happening, but it hadn’t taken long before he’d had a starring role in her fantasies.

He skimmed his hands up the sides of her body and into her hair, and she tipped her head back to gaze at him.

“What are you thinking right now?” he asked, his voice low and thick.

“This. Being here with you.”

“Do you want to back out?”

“Not a chance.”

“Good.”

He bent down and nibbled on her neck, and she felt the sensation all the way down to her toes.

“I’ve thought about this a lot,” she admitted, her voice breathy.

He kissed his way over to her throat and then up her chin before responding. “Not more than I have.”

“Are we competing now?”

“Only if you want to see who comes first.”

“Mmmm…either way we’re both winners.”

“True.”

He dipped his head back down and drew a nipple into his mouth, sucking on it almost to the point of pain. She’d been aroused since she’d joined him in the hot tub, but now she felt a surge of wetness pool between her legs.

“Bryce…”

“Yeah?”

“I need…”

“Tell me.”

“I need more.”

He chuckled gruffly and then picked her up and placed her on the bed before crawling over her. He leaned on his elbows and gazed down at her, his eyes sparking with desire.

“I want to take my time. Is that okay?”

She scrunched up her nose. “How much time are we talking?”

He smiled wide and kissed the tip of her nose. “All night long.”

Gliding her fingernail down the middle of his chest, she said, “Are you sure I can’t persuade you to speed things up a bit?”

She trailed her finger further down over his tight abdomen, into the dip of his belly button, and then found his erection. There was wetness at the tip, and she spread it down his shaft before gliding her hand back up again.

He glanced down and watched her fondle him, seemingly mesmerized by her movements. “I could probably be persuaded.”

Giving him a little push, she shifted to her side and placed a series of kisses across his chest while continuing to stroke him. He flopped on his back and surrendered, and she took the lead once again, feeling powerful in her role as seductress.
