One finger traced the same path, then finally reached between her legs. She moaned at the soft touch, everything in her liquefying.
With a sexy chuckle, Burke gripped her hips and then brushed a kiss over her core. “Steady, Rissa. Hang on to me. I want to run a few experiments here.”
If she’d had any control over her vocal cords, she would have laughed at his use of a science reference.
“The first step of any experiment is to formulate a hypothesis. I hypothesize that you’re going to taste like heaven.”
Oh wow.
After another wicked grin, he nudged her legs to widen her stance. “First step of the experiment is visual observation. Beautiful.”
His gaze caught hers for a moment, and the desire in it had her heart melting. “Second step. Touch.”
Touch. She really liked the sound of that. One hand released her hip and moved between her thighs to stroke her. Shivers started in her soul, and she leaned on his shoulders for support.
His finger dipped inside her, eliciting a groan. He stroked, touched, changing pressure and angles until her body shook with need.
Burke cursed softly, his voice shaky. “Touch is a success. Next is taste.”
He leaned in and swiped his tongue inside her.
Everything in Rissa exploded—pure detonation. The pleasure started at her core and shot straight through to every cell.
She gasped his name as the waves rippled through her again and again. Burke’s tongue moved relentlessly, extending her orgasm while the world whirled around her.
When her bones melted, Burke was ready. He caught her in his arms and lifted her to cradle her against his chest.
Rissa sucked in air, trying to steady herself, though all she wanted to do was snuggle into Burke and never let go.
Burke kissed her lightly. “Hypothesis confirmed. Experiment a success. I’ve never seen anything so sexy in my life, Rissa. You’re incredible.”
She managed a chuckle at that. “That’s my line. I didn’t do anything but react.”
He chuckled. “Agree to disagree.”
He carried her to the wall. “Tell me how to unlatch this bed of yours.”
She started to squirm to her feet, but he tightened his grip. “Let me.”
Unwilling to argue with the man who held her like precious treasure, she guided him through the process. Not the easiest thing to do with her in his arms, but they managed it between kisses and laughter.
Burke set her in the middle of the bed, and she realized he remained completely dressed. Not only was she naked, but she was shaking from the most amazing orgasm she’d ever experienced. “You’re wearing too many clothes, Burke.”
He grinned. “That can be remedied.”
He shucked his sweater, then his jeans, boxer briefs, and socks. His body was gorgeous. Strong, muscled, finely honed. “Speaking of gorgeous, you’re perfect, Burke.”
He laughed. “Not hardly.”
He reached into his jeans pocket and pulled out a condom before joining her on the bed. She brushed a hand lightly over his jaw. “Yes. And don’t argue.”
His eyes crinkled. “With a beautiful naked woman beside me? Not a chance.”
Their lips locked, and Rissa reached for his erection.
Burke’s body flinched at her touch. “Can we save that for later? I want to be inside you when you go over the edge again.”
She smiled at the way he gritted his teeth before speaking. With a poke of her finger, she rolled him onto his back. She straddled his thighs and grabbed the condom. “Sure, we can save that for later.”
