It was as if tonight was a new beginning.
Everything seemed different, including the way he swept his tongue inside my mouth, exploring without dominating. I clung to him, gripping his shirt with my other hand, grinding my hips against him.
The roar of passion was electrified, but tender, yet my heart continued to race. The realization he loved me was incredible, my heart swelling as the hunger continued to increase, shattering all my resolve.
When he broke the intimate moment, I gave him a saucy look. “Come with me.”
“Where are we going?”
Laughing, I raked my nails lightly down his face. “Nowhere far. At least not undressed like this.” As I pulled away, he shook his head, his heated look more intense than before.
“I like you this way. In fact, I think clothes will be banned inside this house.”
“We’ll see about that. Come, cowboy.”
“Who said I was a cowboy?”
“Well, you do own horses.” I flitted out of the room, knowing he would follow. Every part of me was scintillated, my skin carrying his scent. When I entered the bathroom, I took a deep breath before starting the hot water. He arrived only seconds later, remaining in the doorway as I pulled out the bubble bath I’d purchased earlier that day.
As the tub started to fill, I gave him another saucy look.
“You seem to think you’re in charge,” he muttered, although I couldn’t help but notice he was already unbuttoning his shirt.
“I am. You’ll learn that in time.” I poured two glasses of wine, purposely turning away from him.
“Uh-huh. Not a chance, lady. I’m your master.”
I threw him a look over my shoulder, raking his body over with my eyes. In the glow of the candlelight, every tattoo on his chest and arms was accentuated, shimmering in the light. I wanted nothing more than to drag my tongue along every structured line and curve, not just tasting his skin but experiencing his world. “Maybe.”
His laugh was genuine, and he yanked the shirt over his head, his impatience showing.
After placing the bottle of bubbles on the counter, I became the impatient one, easing into the water, my pulse racing. “Hurry.”
My request lit a fire under him and within seconds, he was fully undressed, remaining where he was as if allowing me to bask in the glory of his sculpted body. I wasn’t certain I could ever get enough of savoring his gorgeous, rugged features.
Snake glanced at the various candles before deciding to join me, taking his sweet time to slide into the water. “I thought you knew I wasn’t a romantic guy,” he said in his teasing voice.
“Yet here you are. Hmmm…”
“I’ve yet to tame you.” He reached for me, pulling me close enough I was forced to straddle his legs, wrapping mine around his thighs.
“And you never will. You should know that by now.”
“Maybe, but it will be my life’s mission to try.”
“Good.” The word was little more than a whisper as I used the tip of my pinky, slowly sliding it down the side of his face, cocking my head as I traced his strong jaw.
“You are the most beautiful woman in the world.”
“No, I’m just a simple girl who needed a hero.”
When his eyes clouded over, I pressed my lips against his, brushing them from one side to the other. “You are my hero. You saved my life not once but twice.”
“At least I could.”
I pressed our foreheads together. “You tried to save Belle.”
“Not hard enough.”
