She laced her fingers through his hair as his mouth seized hers. Nerve endings writhing like live electric wires, she lost all concept of gravity. Up. Down. Left. Right. Without Liam’s arms anchoring her to him, she would have shot into space like an overheated bottle rocket.
After the first hard press of his lips to hers, Liam’s kiss gentled and slowed. He took his time ravishing her mouth with a bit of pressure here and a flick of his tongue there. Hadley panted in a mix of excitement and frustration. He’d been so greedy for that first kiss. She’d expected what followed would be equally fast and demanding.
“Your lips are amazing,” he murmured, nipping at her lower lip. “Soft. Pliant. I could spend all night just kissing you.”
Pleasure speared downward as his tongue dipped into the shallow indents left behind by his tender bite. “Other parts of me are just as interesting.” She arched her back and rubbed her breasts against his chest, hoping he’d take the hint and relieve their ache.
“I imagine you will provide an unlimited source of fascination.” He nuzzled his lips against her neck and bracketed her hips with his long fingers, pulling her against his erection. “Shall we go to my room and see?”
“Oh yes.”
He surprised her by scooping her into his arms and carrying her next door. He set her on her feet in the middle of the dark room and pushed her to arm’s length.
“I’m going to turn on the fireplace so we have some light. Then I’m going to take off your clothes and spend the rest of the night pleasuring every inch of your body.”
His words left her breathless and giddy. “That sounds great,” she replied, reaching out to the footboard for balance. “But I demand equal time to get to know you.”
White teeth flashed in the darkness as he shot her a wolfish smile. “I love a woman who knows what she wants.”
While he crossed to the enormous stone fireplace, Hadley took advantage of his back being turned to strip off her sweater and shimmy out of her black stretch pants. Clad only in a pale blue camisole and bikini briefs, she shivered in anticipation. The gas fireplace lit with a whoosh, and Liam turned back to her as flames began to cast flickering shadows around the room. In the dimness, his eyes seemed impossibly bright as his gaze traveled over her.
“You are gorgeous.”
Although his tone gave the words a sincerity she appreciated, Hadley doubted she measured up to the women he’d been with in the past. “So are you.” A sudden rush of shyness made her sound flip,
but Liam didn’t seem to notice.
He held out his hand. “Come here.”
She couldn’t have resisted his command even if her feet had been glued to the floor. More than anything she wanted his hands on her.
Together they stripped off his sweater and the long-sleeve shirt beneath. Firelight highlighted the perfection of his arms, shoulders and abs as her fingers trailed along his hot, silky skin.
“You have such an amazing body,” she murmured, marveling at the perfection of every hard muscle. “I’m a little worried that you’ll be disappointed in me.”
He chuckled. “You have nothing to fear. You are beautiful in every way.”
As if to demonstrate that, his hands began to slide upward, catching the hem of her camisole and riding it from her hips to her ribs. Hadley closed her eyes to better savor the magic of his palms gliding over her skin and threw her head back as he reached her breasts, cupping them briefly before sweeping the camisole over her head.
“I was right,” he murmured, dropping to his knees to press a kiss to her abdomen.
Hadley quaked as his mouth opened and he laved her skin from belly button to hip. With his head cupped in her hands, she fought to maintain her balance as his fingers hooked in her panties and rode them down her legs. With one knee he nudged her feet apart, and she shut her eyes as his fingers trailed upward, skimming the sensitive inside of her thighs until he reached the spot where she burned.
As his fingers brushed against her pubic hair, she cried out in surprise. He’d barely touched her, and her insides were tense and primed to explode.
“You like that.” He wasn’t asking a question. “What about this?”
With one finger he opened her and slipped into her wetness. Hadley gasped as pleasure hammered her. Her knees began to shake, threatening to topple her.
“I can’t...stand.”
He cupped her butt in his hands and steadied her. “I’ve got you, baby. Just let go.”
Her knees buckled, and Liam guided her downward and just a little forward so she ended up straddling his thighs, her breasts flattened against his hard chest. He cupped her head in his hand and brought their lips together once more. This kiss, deep and hungry, held none of the gentle restraint he’d shown earlier. It was a demonstration of his passion for her, and she was enthralled by his need.
“You need to get naked,” she gasped as he rolled her beneath him on the thick, fluffy throw rug.
“Soon.”
