He cupped her neck, angling her mouth for the kiss that was to come. The heat radiated between them. She licked her lips in anticipation.
In that moment, Tabitha knew, she was utterly and unequivocally in love with the Duke of Holcombe.
CHAPTER21
Andrew crushed his lips to hers, putting all his love into the kiss. He didn’t give her time to catch her breath before he backed her up against the glass door. The moan from Tabitha as she buried her fingers in his hair was all the encouragement Andrew needed.
As he’d listened to Tabitha’s story, it had upset him that she hadn’t confided in him—and also disgusted with Vance for his underhanded treachery. Andrew would make sure the man paid, but for now, all he cared about was showing Tabitha that she was truly loved, that nothing could change how he felt about her.
His hand traveled down to the buttons on her dress and made quick work of them to find she was not wearing a corset. He snuck his hand down her chemise to free her glorious breasts.
He cupped one mound and gently squeezed, rewarded with a soft whimper from Tabitha as he rubbed his thumb over the sensitive bud. As he played with her breasts, he laid claim once more to her mouth. His tongue swept into a sensuous tangle with hers, and she did the same, hungrily taking what was given. The blood pulsed through Andrew’s body, with most of it pooling in his groin. His cock strained to where the slightest movement might make him spend in his trousers. He’d been dreaming of having Tabitha again.
After he finished with one breast, Andrew turned his attention to the other while his tongue laid siege to Tabitha’s mouth. He glided his other hand down Tabitha’s back when he felt one of her hands at his groin. She rubbed over his clothed erection, making Andrew break the kiss to let out a curse through his clenched teeth. The feel of her hand was the sweetest form of torture.
“Lord, Tabby, you drive me mad with a simple touch.”
She rubbed his erection again, a playful grin on her face. This woman would be his undoing. The sight of her smile made his heart flip. He took her mouth again, more urgent, more demanding. Their tongues dueled, their teeth nipped, their hands were everywhere. It was almost too much and not enough all at once. Andrew had never felt so alive and at peace at the same time. This is where he truly belonged, with Tabitha.
He leaned back to look at his woman. The full moon cast its beams through the window onto the couple, as if they were in their own dream world. She looked ethereal, her eyes half-closed, her lips swollen from his kisses, a body that said she was ready. Andrew could have gazed upon her forever. It humbled him that Tabitha chose to be with him.
He nuzzled her neck, taking in the scent that was only Tabitha. For the rest of his life, Andrew would think of her when he smelled lilies. Her breath f like feathers tickling his hair as she held him close.
“You are the most beautiful, brave, and stubborn woman in the world.” He chuckled, rubbing his nose against hers. “Every time I’m near you, my soul reaches for yours. You are the light in my dark world, my love. The only person whom I can truly be myself around. You are my everything, Tabitha.”
Andrew pulled her to him and again brought their passion to dizzying heights as he kissed away any response she might have. He kept one hand firmly around Tabitha’s waist while his other hand lifted her skirts. Tabitha parted her legs, ready for what was to come. Andrew came to her drawers and felt her arousal had already saturated the fabric.
“You are already so wet and ready for me, my darling.”
“Only you, Andrew. It’s always been you.”
Andrew put one finger into her entrance as Tabitha threw her head back, surrendering to the sensation. He slowly withdrew halfway before entering again. Back and forth in a torturous rhythm, savoring the feel of her clenched muscles around his digit.
As he worked Tabitha’s channel, Andrew lowered his head to suckle her breast, at the same time inserting another finger inside her.
Overwhelmed by the double titillation, Tabitha whispered his name on a sigh. Andrew increased the pace of his fingers, which were now slick with moisture. The smell of her musk permeated the air, making his cock throb to be inside her. The sounds from Tabitha grew louder, wilder, as she drew closer to climax.
Before long, Tabitha rocked her hips along with the rhythm, mercilessly grinding into his fingers to find the release just out of reach. She almost begged him when Andrew used his thumb to rub her sweet little nub. It was glorious to watch Tabitha come undone, to know that he was the reason for her wanton look, for the cries of pleasure that spilled from her mouth.
Andrew’s fingers played with her, strumming her like an instrument until she was ready to explode.
With one final stroke and squeeze, Tabitha threw her head back, dug her nails into Andrew’s shoulders, and came, squirting her release all over his hand. Still, Andrew pumped in and out, wanting her to go over the edge once more. It didn’t take her long, and her body jerked as the wave of euphoria once again took her.
As Tabitha caught her breath, Andrew gazed at the woman in his arms, knowing in his heart he would never love another. He removed his fingers from her channel and placed them in his mouth, tasting her, making his cock throb in envy. He closed his eyes, savoring the flavor.
“You taste like heaven.
“I want you, Andrew.”
“I know, love.”
He took one of Tabitha’s legs and lifted it up around his waist. With his other hand, he again raised her skirts, then dropped his pants, and in one fluid movement, he was buried to the hilt inside of her.
Tabitha’s quick intake of breath at the intrusion made her muscles clamp around Andrew’s cock, nearly making him spill. It took him a second to compose himself, but then he began a feverish pace. With each thrust, he felt more connected with Tabitha. His heart soared when he heard her cries of delight mingled with his own.
Tabitha moved her hips in time with his. He kept one hand around her leg to penetrate her deeper, making her writhe against him as he filled her completely. The only sounds in the room were the slapping of their bodies and the grunts and moans that bounced off the walls. Andrew was mad with lust. He grew more desperate to possess her, to wipe out anything and everything until it was just the two of them.
“I missed you so much.” Tabitha kissed him urgently. “I never thought I would see you again.”
