“Right, and most of them are immature idiots who are only concerned with themselves. I’ve gone that route and been very disappointed.”
He gripped her ass and smiled up at her. “How’d I get so fuckin’ lucky?” He wrapped his hand around the back of her neck, pulling her in for another kiss, only this one wasn’t gentle. This one exploded with fire and need.
When Mandy’s legs wrapped around his waist, Mamba knew where this was headed, but he took his time, just happy to have her all to himself.
“I’ve been waiting for this since the first night at the Rook when you came on to me.”
“Came on to you?” Her eyes sparkled around the teasing words.
“You can’t deny it, babe. I know what I know.”
“You’re cocky but right.” Even she couldn’t deny it.
“You and that smoking-hot red dress.”
“You remembered my dress?”
“Remember it? Shit, I can’t get it out of my damn head.” He smirked around his words. “Be embarrassed to tell you how many fantasies I’ve had about it.”
“It seems like such a long time ago.”
“Too long. It killed me to leave without telling you what was going on, but I was in some deep shit with the Serpents.” He ran his fingers through her hair. “When you showed up in Laughlin, I thought I was seeing things.”
“I never expected to see you there either.”
He tilted her chin with his forefinger. “Were you with Blaze that night?”
“No.” Mandy shook her head. “I haven’t been with him in months.”
“And he hasn’t tried any more rough stuff?” Mamba’s hands instinctively curled into fists.
“No.” She uncurled his fisted hand that lay on her thigh. “You don’t have to be my protector.”
“Maybe I wanna be.”
She cupped his face with her palms and devoured his lips. He moaned into her mouth. “Gotta have you, babe.”
Mandy pushed off his lap, and his heart shuddered against his ribs. She locked eyes with him and pulled her t-shirt over her head, letting it drop to the floor, then unclasped her bra and eased it down her arms.
He licked his lips, savoring every one of her deliberate moves—a tantalizing mix of innocence and sex. When her fingers rested on the tab of her jeans, he pushed them away, undid the button and zipper himself, then slid them over her hips until they pooled at her feet.
His gaze traveled up her shapely legs and over her beautiful body to her full, rounded breasts and heart-shaped face.
“Fuckin’ amazing.” All the shit he’d done in his life, all his screwups and mistakes, yet he was being rewarded with this perfect woman who he surely didn’t deserve.
“You look surprised.” Her whispery voice surrounded him.
“Just shocked at my good luck. Not something I’m used to.”
“One question. How come I’m the only one naked?”
He barked out a laugh. “Just enjoying the view.” Yeah, he wanted to take his time and discover every inch of this beautiful woman who fate dropped in his arms.
Mamba yanked the hem of his t-shirt up and over his head, then eased her down to the bed. “Wanna feel you under me, moving with me.” He cupped her breast and teased her nipple with his tongue. When her breathing became choppy, he moved between the two until she was digging her nails into his scalp, holding him close.
His mouth traveled toward Mandy’s collarbone to her jawline, then captured her lips again in a searing kiss that had them both moaning. He fumbled with his belt and zipper of his jeans, then her hand slid over him and squeezed. Mamba’s head spun as he braced both palms against the mattress. This was no fantasy, this was the real fuckin’ thing, and he didn’t think he could wait another minute.
His hungry gaze skated over Mandy and rested on her hand working him from root to tip while his hips kept perfect time with her palm. Fuck, if he didn’t stop, he’d embarrass himself.
