I stroked my hand down his curls. “I do know it. That thing you said to your father about your mom being the best thing that ever happened to him? That’s how I feel about you.”
He lifted his head and grinned at me. “About time you realized it.”
That did it. I grabbed his shoulders and pulled him back up to me. “Kiss me, Kral.”
And he did. Hot, wild, very-Rafe kisses.
He’d clearly been holding back, because now he unleashed his full arsenal. When he’d kissed me breathless, he attacked my clothing. My boots came off first, then he tore off my jeans and panties.
He stood up long enough to divest himself of his own clothing, then reached beneath me to pull down the jade bedspread, revealing chocolate-colored sateen sheets.
I shimmied my hips against the smooth sateen. “Mm. Sexy.”
He crawled on top of me. Six feet, two inches of aroused, hard-bodied male.
His dark eyes burned into mine. His erection brushed my belly. “You look like a fucking goddess with your gold eyes and your beautiful body and your hair spread out like that around your face.”
He combed his fingers though my hair, arranging it on the pillow to his liking.
How did he do that? Make me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world?
“Yourgoddess.” I opened my arms to him.
His eyes flashed blue. “Mygoddess.” He stroked his hands over me like an artist learning every curve so he could commit my body to canvas.
I linked my fingers around his nape and tried to pull him down for a kiss, but he resisted and sat up. “Hang on a minute.”
“No.” I tried to pull him back.
“Trust me, you want this.” He dug into the duffel bag for a large white box wrapped in a gold ribbon. “It’s a little late, but happy birthday, sweetheart.”
The box was from a Paris chocolatier. He must have picked it up that last day when I’d still been asleep.
I sat up and opened the box. Salted caramel truffles.
“Oh.” I sucked in my lower lip.
“Your favorite. I told you I remembered.”
I nodded, heart full.
“Here.” He selected one and brought it to my mouth.
I took a small bite. The flavor exploded on my tongue—the salt of the caramel mixed with the dark chocolate’s rich sweetness. I moaned in pleasure.
“More?” He offered me the rest of the truffle.
“Mm-hm.” I took it into my mouth and rolled it around on my tongue. Savoring the taste.
Rafe drew a jagged breath. “Those weeks we were in the negotiations? You have no idea what you did to me when you ate one of those. So slowly. I had such nasty thoughts about your mouth and chocolate.”
“Oh, I knew what you were thinking.” I reached for another truffle. I took a bite out of it but held the piece in my mouth and pushed him back onto the sateen pillows. “Why do you think I played up to you?”
He shook his head in mock-reproof. “You aresobad.”
“Yep.” I grinned and rubbed the melting chocolate up and down his hard length. “Let me see… Were you thinking something like this?”
His swallow was loud in the quiet bedroom. He took my head and guided me to take him into my mouth.
