Our tongues tangled, and I knew one kiss would never be enough. Just as things were starting to get heated, Maggie placed her hands on my chest, giving me a gentle push, and pulled back. As she slowly exhaled, she muttered, “I need to say something.”
“Okay.” I could tell by her expression that it was something serious, so I asked, “What’s on your mind?”
“I don’t know if we should do this.”
“This?”
“Yeah, this.” A light blush crept across her cheeks as she motioned her hand between us. “I know we’ve done it before, and I really enjoyed it. I actually enjoyed it a lot, but this is different. This time it means something.”
“I’m not sure I’m following.”
“I don’t do well with the whole casual thing. I get too emotionally attached, and I already like you... a lot. I’m not really up for a one-night stand, if you know what I mean.”
“I’m not looking to hit it and quit it, Maggie.” I didn’t want to make promises I couldn’t keep, so I told her, “Like I told you earlier, I’ve never really done the long-term thing. At least, not like you have. Don’t even know if I’m built for it, but since that night in the movie theater, I haven’t been able to get you out of my head.”
“Yeah, I’ve been the same way with you.” Her eyes were fixed on mine as she whispered, “I’ve even wondered if there could be something between us.”
“I’ve wondered the same.” Her eyes locked on mine as I asked, “So, what are we going to do about that?”
“I’m willing to give it a try if you are.”
The words had barely left her mouth when she was back in my arms, and we were kissing once again. Damn. This woman was going to be the death of me. One by one, I’d watched my brothers nearly lose their minds when they fell for their ol’ ladies. At the time, I didn’t get it. I thought they were crazy to let a woman turn their entire world upside down, but now, I finally got it.
Everything about Maggie, from her loving but strong nature to her dark brown eyes and warm smile, had me tied up in ways I never had before. While it scared the living hell out of me, there was no way I could just walk away—not when it felt so fucking good to have her back in my arms.
I couldn’t remember ever wanting anything like I wanted her, and with every touch, every little whimper and moan, she had me wanting her even more. She shifted her hips forward, grinding herself against my ever-hardening cock.
“Damn, woman. You’re unbelievable.”
Her lips opened in a small gasp, giving me better access to her mouth, and I delved deeper, letting all the passion I’d been holding back come pouring out. She moaned into my mouth as I lowered my hand to her waist and unfastened the button of her jeans before slipping my hand through the waistband.
Knowing my intention, she widened her stance giving me access to trail further down. Her breath quickened as the tips of my fingers grazed the lining of her panties. My cock throbbed against my zipper as I whispered, “Holy hell, angel. You’re soaking fucking wet.”
Embarrassed, she immediately inched back, but I held her close. “I like it. Hell, I love it. I can’t wait to make you even wetter.”
“Hmmm,” she moaned, shifting her hips forward. She rested her head on my shoulder, closing her eyes as I continued to slowly caress her—teasing her and making her want even more.
All her little whimpers were driving me wild. I slipped my hands from her pants, then lifted her into my arms. I carried her over to the sofa and carefully lowered her down on the cushion. She raked her teeth over her bottom lip as she kicked off her boots, letting them drop to the floor. I lowered my hands to the hem of her sweater and slipped it over her head.
Her eyes never left mine as I reached behind her and unclasped her bra, letting it fall from her shoulders, revealing her perfect round breasts. I trailed kisses down her collarbone to her breast, then began swirling my tongue around her sensitive flesh. “Oh, God.”
I nipped and sucked, relishing the sounds of her little moans and whimpers as I teased her with my tongue and teeth. Needing more of her, I took off my cut and laid it across the arm of the chair, then quickly removed my shirt. I didn’t miss the spark of desire that flashed through her eyes as she looked up at my bare chest. “You gotta stop looking at me like that.”
“Like what?” she asked innocently.
“Like you’re about to have me for dinner.”
“I can’t help it,” she purred as she placed the palm of her hand on my chest, her finger tracing the line of my tattoo. “You’re just so... good looking. It’s not even fair.”
