Love Loyal and True (Must Love Diamonds 2)

“I want to,” she blurted when he started to step back. She grabbed the waistband of his pants to keep him right where he was. “I just—kiss me. I stop thinking when you kiss me.”

He knew he should say no, but with her gorgeous body naked before him, he couldn’t have if he wanted to—and he damn sure didn’t want to. The idea that he was only the second man to ever touch her so intimately triggered a primal feeling of possession that left him shaken to his core.

“Loyal.”

That whispered plea had him dipping his head to cover her mouth with his again. He slid his tongue against hers as he ran his hands all over her body. Her soft skin and womanly curves were heaven.

As soon as she was good and worked up again, he eased her back and kissed his way down her throat to her breasts. After a minute, he moved to her ribs, and lower across her belly.

When she tensed again, he said, “Trust me.”

It wasn’t a question, and yet, not a command, either. He placed a light kiss on her navel, then glanced up without lifting his head. Her darkened gaze met his, and she nodded.

“Close your eyes, and just feel. It’s even better than a kiss. Promise.”

Her throat muscles worked in a hard swallow, and then she closed her eyes and leaned her head back. The beautiful sight of her laid out before him seared into his memory before he shifted lower and got his first exquisite taste of her.

Roxanna’s surprised intake of breath turned into a low moan of pleasure that had him wanting to strip off his pants and seat himself deep in her heat. Instead, he used his mouth and hands to take her to the peak. She reached one hand behind and up to hold onto one of the iron bars separating the stalls, and the other threaded in his hair.

Another image he’d never forget.

Her grip had his scalp tingling, and as one last swirl of his tongue detonated her climax, she cried out his name. He nearly came with her right then.

He kissed his way back up her body and felt for the condom as she caught her breath. He buried his face in her hair for a moment, breathing her in. She always seemed to have a different scent, and yet every time he smelled her, there was an underlying note that was achingly familiar. Her own unique scent that reached out to him no matter what else she dabbed on her skin.

She wrapped her arms around him, and slid her hands up to lightly rake her short nails through his hair. “That was a first,” she whispered.

“Oral?” he asked as his searching fingers closed around the condom.

“And orgasm.”

Chapter 15

Roxanna winced when Loyal stilled and lifted his head to look at her. Why in the world did she have to go and admit that to him?

“Are you serious?”

“Of course not,” she bluffed, totally unconvincingly. Suddenly, she wished she had something to cover up with.

He leaned down and pressed a kiss to her collar bone. “I don’t believe you.”

She shrugged.

His lips trailed up her neck to her mouth, and he efficiently wiped any self-conscious thoughts away with a kiss that had her wanting his fingers and tongue to work more magic.

“Knowing that was your first makes me want to give you a second,” he murmured against her mouth.

Who’s the psychic here?

He seemed to be reading her mind with uncanny accuracy tonight. But hey, if the second was as good as the first, hell yeah.

“Okay,” she agreed softly.

He grinned against her lips until she slid a hand down his chest, over his stomach, to the waistband of his Batman pants. The first brush of her hand against his erection triggered a groan from deep in his throat. He suddenly pushed off the hay, and she lifted her head to see him stripping off his boots, pants, and briefs.

The size and length of his erection shortened her breath, and her core muscles clenched as she watched him roll on the condom. His gaze locked with hers when he climbed up onto the hay bales with her and settled his weight between her thighs.

The unexpected intimacy of his gaze made her stomach flutter. Afraid he might see more than she wanted him to, she closed her eyes. Needing him inside her like she’d never needed anything else before, she drew up her knees on either side of his hips to urge him forward.
