She went to her own room and found Rule standing in the bow window, staring out at the quiet street. “Lani says hi.”
He turned to her. “I like your house. It’s comfortable, and the rooms are large. Lots of windows …”
She hovered in the open doorway, her stomach suddenly all fluttery. “We’ve been happy here. It will be strange, to live in a palace.”
“I have other properties. Villas. Town houses. You might prefer one of them.”
All at once, the life that lay before her seemed alien, not her own. “We’ll see.” The two words came out on a breath.
He held out his hand to her. “Are you shy of me now, Sydney?”
Her throat clutched. She spoke through the tightness. “A little, I guess.” A nervous laugh escaped her. “That’s silly, isn’t it?”
He shook his dark head. “Come here. Let me ease your fears.”
Pausing only to shut the door and engage the lock, she went to him and took the hand he offered. His touch burned her and soothed her at once.
He reached out with the hand not holding hers and shut the blinds. “I put my suitcases in your closet….”
She moved in closer. He framed her face. She said, “It seems like forever, since you left….”
“I’m here now.”
“I’m so glad about that.”
He kissed her. And the throat-tight nervousness faded. There was only his mouth on her mouth, his hands against her cheeks, brushing down the sides of her throat, tracing the collar of her cotton shirt, and then going to work on the buttons down the front of it.
She was breathless and sighing, pulling him closer. He took away her shirt and her bra. He pushed down the leggings she had pulled on after work. She kicked away her little black flats and wiggled the rest of the way out of the leggings.
And then he went to work on his own clothes, kissing her senseless as he ripped off his jacket, his shirt, his trousers … everything. She had only her panties on and he was completely naked when he started walking her backward toward the bed.
“Wait,” she breathed against his lips.
He only went on kissing her—until she gave a gentle shove against his chest. With an impatient growl, he lifted his mouth from hers. “You know you’re killing me….”
She put her finger to those amazing lips of his. “Only a moment …”
“A moment is too long.” But he did let her go.
She turned around and pulled the covers down, smoothing them. “There.”
“Sydney …” He clasped her by the hips and drew her back against him.
“I’m here. Right here …” She lifted her arms and reached for him, clasping his neck, turning her head to him so their mouths could fuse once again.
His tongue plundered her mouth and his hands covered her breasts. And she could feel him, all along her body, feel the power of him, the heat. Feel the proof of how much he wanted her, silky and hard, pressing into her back.
And then he was turning her and guiding her down onto the sheets and right then, at that moment on that night, she was the happiest woman in Texas. There was only the feel of his big body settling against hers, only his kiss, only his skilled touch, on her breasts, her belly and lower.
He took away her panties and those wonderful fingers of his found the womanly core of her and she moaned into his mouth. He kissed her some more as he caressed her, bringing her higher, making her clutch his hard shoulders and press herself closer.
Closer …
And then she couldn’t wait. Not one second longer. She eased her hand between them and she wrapped her fingers around him and she guided him into place.
When he came into her, she let out a soft cry at the sheer beauty of it, at the feel of him filling her. So perfectly. So right.
He kissed her throat, and then scraped the willing flesh there with his teeth. And then he licked her. And then he blew on her wet skin and she moaned and pulled him closer again, lifting her legs to wrap around his waist, pushing herself harder against him, demanding everything of him, wanting it all.
