As much as I wanted to crush my lips to hers and take her mouth, I went slowly.
I leaned down and pressed my lips across hers once, twice, three times.
She tensed a bit, but then relaxed.
I cupped both of her cheeks and kissed her lips again. And then once more. I kissed her cheek, tiny little kisses until I got to her ear and gave her lobe a tug with my teeth.
“Let me show you a real kiss, Ruby,” I said into her ear. “Open for me. Let me in.”
She sighed, and I trailed my lips back to her mouth, gliding my tongue over her lower lip and then her upper, sliding it between the seam.
When she opened slightly, I slipped into her mouth.
She tasted of raspberries. Sweet raspberries. When I touched the softness of her tongue, I nearly exploded right into the ocean. From a kiss. A fucking kiss. A gentle kiss at that.
I quickened my pace, swirling my tongue with hers, running it over her teeth, her gumline, and then tangling it with hers again.
I pulled her closer to me, our chests touching, her gorgeous boobs rubbing against me, her nipples poking my chest.
She broke away, panting. “Oh my God.”
“You’re wonderful,” I said.
“Oh my God,” she said again. “Please. Kiss me again.”
This time I smashed our mouths together, taking her tongue with mine, swirling them together. Again, she was tense at first, but within a few minutes she was kissing me back.
We kissed for several more minutes, until she broke away, panting again. She looked down at my rigid cock bobbing on the surface of the water. Her eyes were wide.
“I won’t hurt you. I promise.”
“It’s not like I’ve…never seen one before.”
“None of that matters. All that matters is you and me, the two of us beneath the moon, in this beautiful water. I can’t help the way my body responds to you, Ruby. I enjoy kissing you. I think that’s pretty obvious.” I smiled. “But like I told you last night, you have nothing to fear from me. I won’t do anything you don’t want me to do.”
“I never thought I could want something like this.”
I touched her cheek. “What do you want?”
“I don’t know. I only know what I’m feeling at this moment.”
“And what are you feeling?”
“I’m feeling…” She looked u
p to the sky. “I’m feeling something I never thought I would feel. I don’t even know how to describe it.”
“Let me tell you what I’m feeling, then,” I said.
Chapter Thirteen
Ruby
That kiss. I knew about kissing. I’d seen lots of kissing. I knew how it was done. I’d just never done it before. By my own choice. I’d had chances, despite trying not to attract men. I’d just never wanted to. Never imagined I’d ever want to.
Ryan Steel’s lips were soft as suede, and when he touched them to mine, something inside me threatened to implode. Every cell in my body went on high alert. My nipples tightened and tingled, wanting to be touched, sucked. Sparks shot between my legs.
Kissing.
