I turn and try to look annoyed, but then I see the uncertainty in his eyes and it melts away.
“Well, if you really want to know my opinion…”
“You know I do.”
I turn and kiss him, my hand on his chest, my heart on my sleeve. I kiss him with everything I’ve got and he growls, his hands sliding down to my hips. I’m pushing him back on the couch, throwing one leg over his hips so I’m straddling him when we come up for air.
“I like the way you think,” he says, grinning.
“Your friend’s not coming back anytime soon, is he?”
He shakes his head. “He doesn’t even have a key. He’ll just have to wait if he wants back in.”
He’s barely got the words out before I’m raking my nails up his chest, pulling his shirt up and over his head. I love looking at this man’s body. It’s so strong, so sexy, I just know when I’m with him I’m safe. Even more than before, I know I’m in good hands. I grind my hips against him, feeling how hard he is, loving the way he sucks in a breath and holds my hips tight.
“Shit, Chelsea,” he whispers as he kisses my neck, licking my throat, nipping down to my collarbone. “I was so sure I’d lost you forever.”
His mouth feels so good. It’s like everything he does swipes an eraser over my mind and makes me forget how words work. I’m lost in him, my head thrown back as he kisses every inch of exposed skin I have.
“I’m here now,” I whisper, clinging to his shoulders. “I’m here now and I’m not going anywhere.”
Because I’ve finally come to terms with all this. I’ve finally accepted that Ian is exactly what he claims to be. I can trust him. I can believe in him. And when he promises me something, I know I can count on it.
Ian groans and whips my shirt up over my head. I never even bothered putting a bra on today and his eyes go wide like he’s been starving for weeks and I just offered him a big juicy steak. His hands move up gingerly, palming my breasts, rolling my nipples under his thumbs, making my hips grind against him of their own accord. My body has a will of its own when it comes to Ian. I can’t control it; I can only enjoy it.
“Ian,” I sigh, leaning into his hands. He kisses me deep, rough, hard and insistent.
“Say it again. I love the way you say my name, like it’s a prayer.”
“Ian, please,” I moan, grinding down into him until he’s clenching his teeth and groaning.
“Please what?” He’s grinning at me, but I can see the effort it’s taking him to hold back and that just makes me wilder.
“Don’t fucking tease me,” I say, reaching between us to grip his thick erection through his jeans. “Just fuck me.”
He slips his hands under my ass and pulls me closer to him, standing up and making me squeal as I quickly wrap my legs around him for stability.
“Guess we’re past asking nicely, huh?” He bites down on my neck just hard enough to make my pussy throb and I whine, tightening my legs around him.
“You’re an ass.”
He chuckles and I feel the vibration of it all the way in my clit. He’s driving me crazy and he’s doing it on purpose and I want to be mad at him but I can’t, because I know the payoff will be so worth it.
“Yeah, but you love me.”
“I’ve created a monster, haven’t I?”
But I don’t get an answer because he’s dropping me on the bed and stripping the rest of my clothes off, leaving me bare and exposed before him. With Ian, there’s no insecurity, there’s not any desire to cover myself or squirm out of his gaze. Because the way he looks at me… It’s like I’m the most beautiful desirable thing in the world. The way he looks at me makes me feel sexy and it’s so effective at making me wetter than Niagara Falls.
And then he’s flipping me over on my stomach and pulling me up on my knees. I don’t know what’s happening, but I’m putty under his fingers because I know without a doubt it’s going to be worth it.
It’s his warm breath I feel first, but I only get a second’s warning before his tongue slips between my lips, dragging my slit all the way…
I tense at the suddenness of his tongue teasing my asshole, but I don’t even really have a chance to think about it because all thoughts flee the moment it happens. It feels so damn good all I can think is, “Oh my God.”
He chuckles and I realize I’ve said that out loud but I can’t even manage to be embarrassed because he’s slipping his finger inside me and stroking me and licking me and my whole body is in overload, clenching and tensing, awash in undiluted pleasure.
I grab a pillow from the head of the bed and pull it up under my chest so I can give him better leverage.
