“Like it? I love it. Carter, you didn’t have to go to all this trouble.”
“Technically, I didn’t. Charlotte did it for me.” He laughs.
“Your sister must really like you.”
His arms wrap around me from behind, his chin resting on my shoulder.
“Believe me, she makes me pay dearly for any favors I ask, but since it was for you, she did it without hesitation. If you think she likes me, she adores you.”
“I’m pretty fond of her and Luke, too.”
He turns me in his arms.
“Now, onto the important stuff.”
“Oh? What’s that?”
“Me undressing you.”
The brush of his fingertips on my skin sends my body into overload. Each touch explores a new spot, each kiss another step in exploration down my body. With each movement, he works on removing a piece of clothing, pleasuring, enticing me with each movement. Filling with desire, I move my hands to help him along. My need for him is so great, I don’t give a damn about foreplay. I want him buried deep in me—now.
He grabs my wrists and stops me, a playful smile on his face.
“Now, now, princess. It’s your turn to sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.”
“But Carter…” I purr, a sound that used to get me my way with him.
He eases the zipper down my dress, then slides the fabric down my arms, allowing the material to fall and pool at my feet. The touch of his fingers on my skin sends a chill through my body. Fully exposed to him, he takes me in.
“Has anyone ever told you how absolutely stunning you are?”
I moan in response. The feel of his touch mixed with the kisses he is trailing down my neck, my breasts, my stomach has me unable to formulate a coherent sentence.
“Lie down.”
Centering myself on the bed, I prop up on my elbows, ready and waiting for him.
“You’re the most beautiful thing I have ever laid my eyes on. You make me want when I shouldn’t and crave things I never knew I wanted.”
He wets his lips as he looks at me, taking me in as he undresses. His eyes pierce me, a look so erotic, it has me on the brink. I slide my hand down my body, between my thighs. He inhales sharply as he watches me. I had hoped the touch would help sate me until he buries himself inside me, but it doesn’t. I work my hand faster, needing a release. He has me so on edge, I don’t think I can play this torturous game.
“Stop.”
But I can’t. I’m almost there. I disobey him, and when I do, he grunts out, “Stop!” It’s an order, not a suggestion. To ensure I obey this time, he grabs my wrists and pins them above my head.
“Carter, your arm,” I tell him when I notice he’s propped up on his bad shoulder.
He silences me with a searing kiss, then begins a whole other form of torture, trailing his way down my body until his mouth hovers at my center. Feeling his warm breath on me, my body tingles with anticipation. His mouth covers me, and his tongue flicks my clit. The sensation has me bucking my hips into him. One palm is flat on my stomach, holding me down, the other…
“Oh, fuck,” I cry out as he slides not one but two fingers inside me. I am so on edge, I’m unable to control my body. Fisting the sheets, I ride his fingers as his tongue works my sensitive bud. “Oh God, Carter, yes. Fuck, yes.”
I collapse back onto the bed. Pleased with himself and the pleasure he gave me, he crawls up onto the bed and hoists up my naked body, wrapping my legs around his waist.
“Tell me you’ll be mine, Lexie, not just for tonight, but forever.”
I swear my heart stops. The emotion in his eyes matches what I feel in my heart. This undeniable attraction is so much more. It’s a connection, an understanding, a pathway to a new beginning—our future—which he wants as much as I do. Nothing matters at this moment except us.
“I’ve been yours since the moment you laid eyes on me.”
