Fated Hearts (Southern Bride 8)

“Please tell me those are a thong,” I whispered.

With a wicked smile, she stepped out of the dress, took a few steps back, and slowly turned her body in a full circle.

Annalise, dressed in black heels, a bra, and a lace thong, was my new favorite thing in the entire world.

“Fuck me,” I whispered as I started to undo my belt and then my pants, all the while keeping my eyes on her. She ran her finger along the line of her panties. “You are beautiful, princess.”

I waited for her to reprimand me for using the nickname, but all she did was hook her thumbs into her panties and slowly push them down.

The room swayed, and I suddenly felt lightheaded when I watched her kick the thong to the side. Then she reached up behind her and unclasped her bra, letting it slide down her arms and to the floor. She was perfection in every way. Her body was slender, yet she had curves in all the right places. Obviously, she worked out, but she wasn’t stick-thin, and I loved that.

“I need you to know something, Roger.”

All I could do was nod as I took in the naked goddess who stood before me. If I touched my dick right now or stroked it, I would come within seconds.

Kicking off one heel, she kept talking. “I’ve never done anything like this before. I don’t want you to think…”

Her voice trailed off, and she dropped her gaze from mine. I wanted to tell her the same thing—that I hadn’t had any meaningless one-night stands. But it was far from the truth. I wasn’t a manwhore, but I had been with plenty of women in my day. Something about Annalise, though, was so different. The last thing I wanted to do was dwell on the fact that she made me feel things I hadn’t ever felt before.

“Tell me what you want, Anna.”

Her eyes lifted to mine again. “If all we have is the next twenty-four hours, give or take, to spend together, I want to spend it learning every inch of your…”

Her voice trailed off once more, and she watched as I slipped my pants and my boxer briefs down in one movement. My dick sprang out and bounced against my stomach muscles. Annalise licked her lips, staring at my cock as I kicked off my shoes and finished undressing.

“You were saying,” I softly prompted, walking over to her.

“I, um… I want to…to…um…” With a quick shake of her head, she lifted her eyes to meet mine. Nothing else needed to be said as I took the final step, cupped her face with my hands, and kissed her.

She wrapped her arms around me, and we both moaned when our bodies pressed fully against each other’s.

“Oh, God, Roger.”

My name coming off those pink lips was enough to almost make me lose my damn load right then and there.

I reached down and swept her up into my arms and carried her into the bedroom. I was just starting to lay her on the bed when she said, “Wait! Take the top cover off! I don’t want my body touching it.”

Chuckling, I set her down, ripped the comforter off, and then grabbed her and tossed her onto the bed while she laughed.

She crawled up the mattress and lay down completely. Her blonde hair splayed across the pillows, creating the most erotic image I’d ever seen. Never in my life had I ever wanted to be inside a woman as much as I did with Annalise.

I moved over her and kissed her gently on the lips before brushing my mouth along her jawline and down her neck.

“Birth control?” I asked.

She panted and then stilled.

I drew back and looked at her. “I have condoms. I wasn’t sure if you were on the pill or not.”

Nothing like the talk to kill the mood.

“I’m on the pill, and I want to feel you… All of you. I’m clean, by the way. I mean, no sexual diseases.”

I swallowed hard. “I’ve never had sex without a condom before.”

“If you—” she started before I pressed my mouth to hers to end that conversation. If she wanted me to go bare, I was going to fucking go bare.

“I want to feel you, too, Anna. I’m also clean and was tested a few months back and haven’t been with anyone since then.”

She smiled, and I felt a strange pull in my chest.

“I’m going to learn every single thing about this beautiful body and what brings you pleasure.”

Her chest rose and fell as she dug her teeth into her lower lip.

“First place is here,” I whispered, rubbing my thumb over one peaked nipple. I placed my mouth over the other, gently sucking.

Annalise gasped, laced her fingers through my hair, and tugged. I had to fight the urge to move and bury myself inside of her.
