He took her at her word. He kissed her eyelids again, sipping up the moisture, then returned to her mouth. Her arms wrapped themselves around him, and she no longer felt like crying. This was too sweet to spoil with tears.
Once again, he seemed to sense her change of mood, and once again, he drew back and whispered to her. “I’m going to touch you now. Not inside your panties. Just outside.”
She felt herself nod.
He traced the little strap of moist lace between her legs. Up and down. Rubbing. Stroking. Thrilling her beyond belief.
It went on and on until she could barely stand it. Then his lips met her earlobe. “I have to take off your dress. I need to see you.”
And she wanted to show him. Oh, yes . . .
He removed her dress with an uncharacteristic clumsiness. Then he touched the clasp on her bra. “After I take this off, I’m kissing your breasts.”
Was he going to broadcast every move? “You don’t have to ask for permission.”
“Oh, I’m not.” He pushed aside the cups of her bra and gazed down at her. “Just giving you a chance to prepare yourself.”
Then he set about making her feel as if her breasts were the most precious objects on earth. He studied them, kissed, tweaked, suckled, and studied them again. “I think,” he said, “it’s time for me to take off your panties.”
“I think,” she said, “it’s time for me to take off yours.”
He gazed down at her, took another nibble. “All right.”
She shot to her knees, and her fingers flew to the fastener at his fly. But before she could open it, he stilled her hand with his own. “Just remember what I said about getting married.”
“Yeah, yeah.” She brushed his fingers away and pulled on the tab. A moment later, she was nearly speechless.
“Don’t worry,” he said. “We’ll take our time.”
Her mouth felt dry as she stared down at him. “I’m not exactly worried. Astonished is more like it.”
He chuckled, then shed the rest of his clothes. She tossed aside her dress and bra until the only thing left between them was a flesh-colored thong. He slipped his thumb beneath it and pulled it off. “Lay back
in the pillows, sweetheart. I’m going to love you.”
A sigh slipped through her lips. She couldn’t ever remember feeling so safe.
As the minutes ticked by, she discovered new things about Dex. He liked to inspect everything. Thoroughly. To evaluate, measure, and caress. And his curiosity seemed just about insatiable.
She also discovered he had amazing powers of concentration, that he wasn’t the slightest bit fastidious, and that he didn’t grow bored easily. A less pleasant discovery was the pleasure he took in making a woman beg.
“Please, Dex . . . no more. Oh, please . . .”
“Soon, sweetheart. Soon.”
When he finally worked himself inside her—announcing his intentions first in language that was thrillingly graphic—she discovered that they fit together just fine. His last announcement, however, was the one that sent her over the moon.
“I’m going to come inside you.”
Moments later, she discovered that Dex was a man of his word.
Chapter 21
Kenny couldn’t believe he’d fallen asleep, but one minute Emma was yapping at him, and the next thing he knew, the wheels were bouncing against the tarmac as the plane set down in Vegas. The fact that he hadn’t made it into bed the night before must be why he’d slept so peacefully.
And then he remembered. He was on his way to get married to the bossiest woman he’d ever met. He groaned.
Her forehead scrunched as she looked over at him, and he watched her mouth begin to open.
