He parted her with his fingers and she closed her hand tightly on his erection as her hips canted up toward him. This was a remembered pleasure. The way she responded to his touch. As lovers, they both heated up together, and he felt at this moment they were completely in sync.
He continued to explore her feminine secrets but was frustrated by the fabric of her pants, which trapped his hand. He used his free arm to lift her off the desk. “Shove your pants off.”
She did as he asked and when they were on the tops of her thighs he set her back down on the desk and lowered her pants and panties to the floor, removing her shoes at the same time. He put his hands on her thighs and pushed her legs open, leaned down over her. He breathed in the feminine scent of her and then dropped nibbling kisses on the inside of her thigh, moving higher until he bit lightly at her hip bone.
She shifted and put one hand on his head and the other on her stomach. He saw that her belly had a slight curve to it now where before it had been flat, and he noticed the faint stretch marks on her skin. Every sign that she’d carried his baby just turned him on more and more. It enhanced his need to claim her again.
His child had left its sign on her and now he wanted to, as well. He lowered his head to bite the inside of her thigh and then he licked at the spot and kissed it gently before turning his head to her center. He’d not forgotten the intimate taste of her and he craved it again.
He parted her with his fingers and rubbed his tongue over the taut bud there. Then he suckled her gently into his mouth. She shifted under him, and he held her still as he continued to feast at her most intimate flesh and then slid his hand under her thigh to trace the opening of her body again. He entered her with just the tip of one finger, and her hips jerked against him until he slid it farther inside her and then brought it back out.
He moved his face lower and thrust his tongue deep inside of her. Her hands came to his head and held him to her as her hips canted upward toward him. He knew she was on the edge. Could taste it on her and feel it in the way her body was softening for him. He pulled back and pushed his finger in deep, and then up to find her G-spot.
She made a high-pitched keening sound as her hips thrust against him and he felt her body tighten around his finger. He kept his hand on her and in her, rocking it against her until she collapsed backward on the desk. He stood up, looking down at her, and smiled at her as she opened her dazed eyes.
“Thank you for that,” she said.
“It was my pleasure,” he said.
“No, it was mine. It feels like a lifetime since I’ve felt like that,” she said to him.
“How long has it been?” he asked.
“Eighteen months,” she said, looking up at him with those clear blue eyes of hers. “I’ve been sort of busy, and most men aren’t interested in a new mom.”
“Good.” He didn’t want any other man in the picture. He felt possessive toward both her and DJ. They were his.
His.
Yes, he decided. She was his and he didn’t have a clue about how to keep her or what he should do with her beyond sex, but he knew that he wasn’t going to let her go. It didn’t matter that she was way too innocent for a man like him. He had claimed her. Well, almost.
She reached for his manhood, which was still rock hard, and stroked him with her hand. As she leaned down toward him, he felt the brush of her breath against him and the touch of her tongue. Then, with a shiver down his spine, he felt a drop of his essence slip past his control. She licked it up and then took him into her mouth. He put his hand on the back of her head, stroking her blond hair.
He wanted to enjoy every second of her like this. He tried to pull back to warn her that she needed to stop, but she put her hands on his backside and kept him where he was. Her mouth moved over him until his hips jerked forward as his orgasm rocked through him.
She took him deeper into her mouth until he was totally spent. When he pulled back he didn’t know what to say, but Cari didn’t give him a chance. She just sat up, pulled him into her arms and rested her head right over his heart. And he held her in his arms, letting all the worries of whether he was the right man for this woman disappear. For tonight at least he wanted to enjoy just being in her arms.

Cari didn’t have words right now or the strength to pretend like this was nothing more than sex. And she was so afraid that Dec would just leave her like he had the last time. She hadn’t realized until this moment that the fear was still inside her, just under the surface of the confidence that she now recognized as bravado instead of strength.
She twisted her head and looked away, hoping to keep her emotions hidden from Dec. She saw DJ’s car seat and it brought back the fact that the last time she’d been in this man’s arms her entire life had changed. And though she was on the pill, she wasn’t ready to risk another unplanned pregnancy.
