I beamed at him, squeezing his hand. He pulled into my spot, jogging around the car to open the door for me. He covered my head with his jacket as we raced inside, just missing the downpour that followed right after us, hammering against the glass windows of the door. I grinned at him.
“I guess you’ll have to stick around for a while.”
He smirked, tossing his arm over my shoulders and pulling me against him. “I wasn’t planning on leaving right away but I guess you’re right.”
We barely made it inside the door before we crashed into each other. I threw my arms around his neck as he dipped down to pick me up, my legs wrapping around his waist. He pressed me up against the door, struggling to lock it because his focus was split. I nipped at his bottom lip and he groaned, wrapping his arms tightly around me.
He hurried to the bedroom. I squealed when he dropped us both, landing on top of me. He laughed, nipping at my neck. He was just dipping back down to kiss me when a phone rang. I scowled but he shook his head, grinning at me.
“That’s not mine.”
My eyebrows shot up. He laughed as I scrambled off the bed to grab it. People didn’t call me, not unless it was…
“Hi mom.”
“Beth! Thank goodness! Someone can finally back me up! Your father wants to get another cow!”
I rolled my eyes, making a face at James who looked way too smug and delicious lying on my bed. I was only half listening to her rant. I had to try several times to interrupt her.
“Mom. I’ve got company.”
“Is it Charlotte? She’ll get it, put her on the phone.”
James came up behind me, wrapping his arms around me as he pressed kisses against my neck.
“No, mom. It’s not Charlotte. Look, I’ll call you back later, okay?”
She gave me an indignant screech, complaining that I never call her even though we have a standing phone call every Sunday and I’ve never missed one without good reason. When James began nipping at me, my whole body shivered.
“Mom! I have to go! Bye!” I hung up, dropping the phone on the counter and spinning in his arms. He grinned mischievously when I glared at him. I didn’t get a chance to call him out though before he captured my lips again and dragged me back to bed.
ChapterThirteen
He hadmy shirt off before I realized that he was going to see me completely naked and I didn’t have the cover of darkness to hide behind. He was dropping kisses on my collar bone when he felt my hesitation.
“What’s wrong?”
I grimaced. “Nothing. Just not overly comfortable with myself, I guess.”
He frowned at me. “What do you mean?”
I shrugged. This conversation would be a lot less awkward if I wasn’t already in my bra laying underneath him. I averted his gaze, playing with the buttons on his shirt. “There’s just some things I don’t like. I usually keep the lights off so I don’t have to think about it.”
He sat back, raising an eyebrow. “What’s not to like?”
I could feel a flush work its way up my neck and into my face. I did not want to chat about this. I covered my face with my hands, shaking my head. I peeked through my fingers when I felt him shifting to lay alongside me. He tugged my hands away, his large hand cupping my cheek. He leaned over me, brushing his lips lightly over mine.
“Let’s see… gorgeous grey eyes that seem almost silver when you’re looking at me like you want to eat me.” He snickered when I hid my face again. “Silky hair that I can easily run my fingers through, soft lips that always seem to be smiling.” He nipped at my neck as he drew my hands away again. “Maybe I should be moving farther south.”
He rolled between my thighs again, dragging the strap of my bra down with his teeth. I didn’t even notice him unhooking it until he pulled it off and tossed it over the edge of the bed. My stomach tightened and I looked away. He kissed his way down my chest, pulling one nipple into his mouth and drawing a moan from me. I felt him grin against me.
“This might be my favorite part. You’re so soft and sensitive and if I’m doing this right, you make the sweetest sounds.” He cupped my other breast, his rough hand easily covering me. “Such a sweet handful.” My stomach flipped and I peeked down at him just in time to watch him dip his head again, drawing my nipple into his mouth. I gasped, squirming when his fingers began gently rolling the other one. He pulled back, blowing cool air against my overheated skin. He switched sides, taking his time to lay small kisses along his path.
I’ve always been self conscious, like the ugly duckling when all my friends are swans. But James made me feel beautiful, his voice carrying such sincerity when he spoke to me. He sat up long enough to let me unbutton his shirt, kissing his chest lightly, before he nudged me back down and continued his exploration. More nerves blasted through me when he slowly pulled down my skirt and panties. I tried to urge him back up but he shook his head, nipping my hip.
“Have you ever let someone taste you before, Elizabeth?”
I covered my face, shaking my head. No, it was embarrassing and I didn’t want to force someone to do that. A bucketload of anxiety dumped into my system, almost ruining the mood completely. He pulled back, starting farther down. His lips trailed from my ankle to the inside of my knee. He followed the path with his tongue and I bit my lip. When he reached my knee again, he trailed farther up. I quivered, heat pooling in my belly. I held my breath as his breath skated across my mound but he didn’t stop there. He disappeared, starting again at my other ankle and working his way down. Every time he got close to my center, he’d skip over it until I was so wound up, I almost couldn’t take it.
