“Idowant.I want you, Rick.”
ChapterTwenty-Eight
Whip-fast, Rick rounded the table to stand before me, only a breath away from our faces touching.
Anticipation made me tremble a little as he cupped my cheek, stroking the pad of his thumb tenderly over my jaw and upwards.His touch sent tiny rivers of sensations flowing inside me, rivers that all led to the same sensitive, aching spot.When his thumb moved to my lips, caressing gently, my mouth seemed to open of its own accord.I heard myself sigh.
“More?”he whispered.
Helpless to do anything but nod, a low gasp escaped me when his lips replaced his hand, and the sweet flavour of him saturated me.He stroked his tongue over mine in a soft, sensual dance, and the rivers of sensations flooded my every sense.
He nipped my bottom lip playfully, and then his kisses moved down, dotting over my chin, down to my neck, where the gentle scrape of his jaw scruff rendered my skin super sensitive.As I giggled, a sound of excitement and joy, he captured my lips again, the kiss so tender that my heart bumped painfully in my chest.
As he returned to kissing my neck, his hand lifted to cup my breast, his thumb finding the already firm point of my nipple and teasing it to hardness through the soft fabric of my dress.
I strained towards him, only wanting more, more, more.The world and everything else butusfell away.
“Maddie,” he bit out, and my name came off his lips like a curse and a prayer twined together.
The sound of his lust-rough voice set something loose in me.Maybe it was knowing that he seemed as conflicted by this tug-of-war attraction between us as I was, but it was enough to spur me into action.
I slid my hands into his hair, loving the feel of it, soft and thick, between my fingers.I pressed my mouth to his temple as he continued devouring my neck.
The sensations were divine, and I stopped thinking about what would happen when I got on a plane back to England.I let myself stop thinking at all and started to simplyfeel.
It seemed like Rick was going to take charge, and I-
I would let him.
Iwantedhim to.
And then I wanted to havemyturn in charge, wanted to ride him until we were both exhausted.
And then rest until we could do it all again.
I arched into his hand as he used the other to pull me closer to him, closer still.With our bodies pressed together there was no mistaking the hard ridge in his jeans pressed to my lower belly.The heat of it, the want of it, made muscles deep inside me clench, over and over.
“Rick, oh, God!”
“Bed?”he murmured against my neck.
I fisted a hand in his hair for a moment.I should choose the bed.Upstairs, where people should have sex.Especially first time together sex.
But this wasRick,and I wanted to be memorable for him, in case… In case I didn’t see him again after I flew home.
If I had my way, Iwouldsee him again.
But life had a way of spoiling things.So I would make the most of the now.
“No.Too impatient.Sofa.”
He cursed against my neck.“You’ll be the death of me, Maddie Liu.But what a way to go.”
Almost without warning, he swung me up into his arms as if I weighed hardly a thing and carried me to the sofa.When he put me down gently, I yanked at his lapels until he collapsed on to me, that long, work-roughened, rangy body pressed deliciously atop mine.
I kept hold of his shirt and tugged his face down until our mouths met again, until our tongues tangled.I let Rick drink me in and gave as good as I got, savouring every taste, every new texture.
I wanted to kiss him forever and never, ever come up for air.
