Burned Hearts (Burned 3)

My fingertips skated over his abs, a whisper of a touch, but his muscles tensed.
“You know that will get you into trouble.”
“This is exactly the kind of trouble I like getting into,” I countered. I licked another drop from the rivulet along the valley of his hard pectoral ledge.
He fisted strands of my hair and gently tugged my head back as his mouth crashed over mine. Our lips parted on the same breath, our tongues tangling. My heart slammed against my ribs, my pulse ignited.
He backed me up against the wall and shoved my yoga pants and thong down my hips and thighs. I toed off my sneakers and wiggled out of the clothes with a little dance, kicking the garments away. Then I yanked at the end of his towel, unraveling it. He was already hard for me.
His hands shifted to my ass and he cupped the cheeks as he lifted me. I wrapped my legs around his waist, and a heartbeat later he plunged inside me. I tore my mouth from his and cried out from the heat that rushed through my veins.
“That’s what I want to hear,” he murmured against my neck. “You crazed for me.” He nipped at the skin. “And don’t worry about digging your nails in.”
I gripped one of his bulging biceps. My other hand combed through his damp hair. “I’ve long since given up that concern. Seems to turn you on.”
“Because it tells me how turned on you are.”
“So very,” I muttered.
He kissed me deeply as he thrust forcefully, quickly. I clung to him, my thighs clenching to hold me in place, my pussy clutching him as he slid along my slick walls, my fingers coiling around as much of his arm as I could manage, the tips pressing in.
His darkly passionate kiss and aggressive strokes stirred my soul, singed me to the core.
I broke the kiss again and said on a sharp breath, “I’m going to come.”
The erotic sensations swelled and surged. A powerful release raged through me and I called out his name as I lost myself in those all-consuming moments when ecstasy overruled everything and the fiery bliss devoured me.
“That’s it, baby,” he murmured in a strained voice. “Just like that.”
I had no control over the way my inner muscles milked his thick shaft as he expanded within me. I felt the throbbing sensation of his cock mix with the incessant beat of my orgasm and then he said my name on a lusty sigh and filled me with his essence.
I continued to hold him firmly, nowhere near ready to let my climax languish or give up my claim on Dane.
“Ari,” he said against my lips. “You have no idea what you do to me.”
“I think I do.” I grinned.
Our breaths were labored, our chests rising and falling together as my breasts pressed below his pecs. I wore a tank top but could feel his heat. I reveled in the absolute masculinity of him.
He was a strong, commanding presence and yet I could turn him inside out with a look, a touch, an explosive go-round when we really should be getting ready for a baptism.
I kissed him, then said, “I like this new arrangement.”
“I had better find something to occupy my time or you’ll be my 24-7 hobby.”
“I would never complain about being your hobby.” I kissed the corner of his tempting mouth, then his jaw. I flicked his earlobe with my tongue, suckled on it. “Or your obsession,” I whispered.
He groaned, low and deep. “You’re about to get me going agai
n.”
“We don’t have time for that.” I tenderly bit his neck. “It’s just that you’re so delicious, I can’t resist.”
“I’ll be cutting this party short tonight.”
With a soft laugh, I said, “No, you won’t. I want everyone to enjoy themselves. These are our closest friends, Dane. We don’t get to spend enough time with them as a group. I want that to change.” I gave him a pleading look. “We’re extremely fortunate to have people in our lives who understand how critical your work has been, how imperative it is to keep your secrets. They’ve supported us the entire time. They stand by us. We’re very, very lucky. And I want them to know we feel that way.”
He pressed a kiss to my forehead. “You are the best thing that ever happened to me, Aria Lynne Bax. I am not only forever indebted to you for all that you do, but I am eternally, hopelessly devoted to you.”
