Chapter16
Luke knew he should move. Knew he needed to let her go, because his body was now very aware of who he was holding and how good she felt in his arms. The hard planes of her belly pressed to his; the soft curves of her breasts weren’t in a bra.
“Thanks.” He eased back to look at her. “I need to go now.”
“I know.”
He let his eyes roam her face. “Not sure what it is about you, but from the first moment I saw you—”
“I know,” she whispered.
He kissed her then, because that was the only sense he could make out of anything. The need to kiss this woman. Taste her lips and let him forget everything else.
He told himself it was just a taste. A small kiss and nothing more. The first touch told him that wasn’t going to be the case. She went straight to his head—both of them.
He cupped a cool cheek. The other arm went around her back to bring her closer. Then he devoured her. She took it all. Her hands slid around his neck and held him closer. He moved his to her sides. Sliding under her shirt, he let his palm skim the base of her spine, the warm, soft skin.
God, she felt good. His head was full of her. The scent that was hers alone. The feel of her against him. Luke ran his fingers up her spine, tracing each vertebra and back down. She moaned into his mouth.
“This is a bad idea,” he said against her lips.
“I know.” Her hands slid under his sweater and found his skin. Luke shuddered.
“I knew your body would be hard.”
“It’s not the only part of me,” he rasped.
She leaned into him, pressing her lips to his. He wanted more of her. To feel all of her. He moved his hands to cup her breasts. They fit perfectly into his palms.
“Soon, stopping will not be an option.”
“Then don’t.”
“Quinn—”
“We’re both consenting adults, Luke.”
He looked down at her. Looked at his hands that were still under her clothes. He squeezed her breasts gently, and she sighed.
“I’m not myself,” he felt the need to say.
“You look like yourself.” She followed the words with a kiss.
Luke snorted, then lifted her shirt off her body.
“You’re a goddess.” His eyes devoured every inch of her. The curve of her breast and tight bud of a nipple. Her skin was warm. Leaning down, he licked the column of her neck, and she shuddered.
“I want to see you.” She pushed his sweater up and over his head.
They stood there, naked from the waist up, looking at each other. He wanted to lick every inch of her.
“Are you one of those organized men who carry a condom in their wallet, Luke?” Her hands were tracing slow circles over his chest. He wanted to sink into her now. Forget foreplay, forget everything else. He wanted to lose himself in her.
“I am.” Pulling his wallet out of his jeans, he found the condom and threw it on the bed.
She didn’t speak, just kissed him again. Pressed that amazing body of hers to his. He pulled her in and held her there while their tongues tangled, teeth clashing as he tried to get closer.
Every turbulent thought that had kept him from sleep was gone. There was just now, and Quinn. Stepping back, he undid the button of her jeans, then lowered the zipper. She watched him as he pushed them down her legs with her panties.
