CHAPTER 5
He was too far gone to think of what he was going to do next. He simply acted.
Finn’s mouth came down on Lauren’s, harder than he planned. When she groaned, he eased back, but her hand fisted his hair, her mouth opening to take him in. This time the groan wasn’t pain, but pleasure. The sound he’d heard echoing in his dream. A sound he wanted to hear again and again and again.
His tongue slid into her mouth, his arms wrapped around her small waist to tug her close. The long, naked lines of her body pressed up against his, heating his blood to explosive levels. He changed the angle of the kiss, tasted her deeper, pushed her back until she bumped into the sink. He forgot about everything going on outside these walls and focused only on her.
She grabbed on to his shoulders, wrapped her legs around his waist as he lifted her from the floor and set her on the counter. As she kissed him crazy, her hands went to his waistband, tugging the shirt up and over his head.
He broke the kiss, let her tear the garment from his body. Then he pressed his hungry mouth to hers again, sliding his hands up her ribcage to caress her warm, plump breasts while her tongue did nasty things to his mouth. She tasted like sin and seduction, felt like everything he’d been missing. As her fingers found his belt buckle and made quick work of the button and zipper, he tried to slow things down, tried to tell himself not to attack her as soon as she freed him from his jeans, tried to keep some semblance of control.
She pressed her palm against his lower belly and slid it into his boxers to grip his aching shaft. “Mmm,” she moaned into his mouth, “I knew you’d be worth waiting for.”
That was it, as much as he could take. The taste of her hot little mouth, the feel of her warm hand gripping his length . . . he wasn’t going to last much longer if he let her go on like this.
He lifted her off the counter, swung around toward the door. She gasped, her legs clinging tight. “Where are we going?”
“Bed. I’ve dreamed of this body in a bed. Not in some grungy bathroom.”
She laughed as he reached the side of the bed, grabbed the comforter and ripped it back. He dropped her on the cool sheets. She sucked in a breath as he lowered himself and his lips found the soft skin of her earlobe.
“Oh, God, Tierney . . . you dreamed about me? I thought you said I was too skinny.”
“I never said that.” He trailed his lips down her throat to the indent between her shoulder and neck, ran his finger over the chain of her necklace, kissed the hollow of her throat.
“Yes . . . yeah. I think you did.” She swallowed as he brought his hand up to her breast, palmed the heavy mass and skimmed the tip of his finger over her nipple. “You, um . . . you said I was like a teenaged boy.”
He drew back, looked down at her glistening skin, her taut nipples, her narrow waist and the triangle of blond curls that led to what he wanted most. “I had to have been high.”
“You said—”
His brows snapped together. “Why the hell would you listen to me? You know I’m full of crap. Yer proving it right now, aren’t ya?”
That victorious smile spread across her gorgeous face again, and she reached for him, pulling his mouth back to hers. “You’re damn right, I am.”
He lost himself in her kiss, in her mouth, in the softness of her body. He trailed his lips down her neck, over the gem at the apex of her cleavage, to her breasts, laving his tongue across one nipple, then the next, drawing each deep in his mouth until she writhed on the bed and begged for more.
His body screamed for release, but he didn’t rush things. He loved the sounds she made, wanted to see just how far he could push her before she lost her famed control. She wasn’t a melted puddle after everything they’d been through tonight? That was fine. That was great. But he wanted her to melt beneath him just the same.
She tensed when his lips passed over her belly button, moaned when he kissed the top of her mound and groaned long ad deep when his tongue finally ran between her folds and he tasted her for the first time.
“Tierney . . .” She lifted her knee, planted her injured foot on the bed, pressed her hips against his mouth, urging him on.
He licked her slow, tasted her deep, flicked his tongue over her tight knot again and again until her whole body tensed and she came in his mouth.
Not nearly as satisfied as her, he sucked the skin between her hip and torso until she groaned, then pushed himself up and wrestled his way out of his jeans. Her eyes were heavy with desire as she looked up at him, her body limp from her release. He climbed over her, took her mouth again and kissed her deep as his naked skin finally came into full contact with hers.
“Finn,” she whispered, kissing him back, “oh, yes . . . yes.”
Her knees fell open, and he sank into the vee of her body. Heat consumed his pelvis where he pressed against her. The tip of his cock slid into her slippery folds, and she lifted her hips in invitation, groaning again into his mouth. “Oh . . . yeeeeeeesssss.”
Common sense had funny timing, but he was thankful it snapped in now. He broke the kiss, eased back and reached for his jeans on the floor.
She pushed up on her elbows, her lips plump from his mouth, her hair wild around her face. “What are you doing?”
He grabbed the wallet from his jeans, pulled out the condom, waving it as he leaned back over her. “Protection.”
“You take this gig seriously, I see.” She smiled and took it from his fingers, kissed his lips. “Let me.”
