He helped her then, and the room sounded with the thud of his shoes and the slither of his pants and boxers.
Pia caressed his arousal freely before bending and kneeling before him.
Hawk groaned. “Pia, Pia…ah, sweet.”
Pia was lost in the experience of making love in a way she never had before. She felt the tension in Hawk’s muscles and the throbbing heat of his flesh. And when she gave him the most intimate kiss she could imagine, he stiffened and groaned again, gripping the bedside table.
“Pia,” Hawk said, his voice heavy and thick with arousal. “You’ve definitely…changed.”
She’d had time over the past three years to replay the night she’d lost her innocence to Hawk. She’d had time to imagine different scenarios. She’d had time to see herself as the seductress instead of the one being seduced.
And now, unexpectedly, she had a chance to realize some of those fantasies. With him. Because he’d always been the lover whom she’d imagined.
She focused on giving pleasure and soaking in the sounds of how much Hawk was enjoying her ministrations.
She wanted to make him lose control.
Moments ticked by, and then, on an oath, Hawk disengaged her, pulling her up for a rough kiss.
“I’m not going to ask where you learned that,” he said darkly.
If only he knew, Pia thought.
She thrilled at the tacit admission that she’d given him unexpected pleasure. She warmed to the tinge of jealousy in his voice.
“T-take me,” she said, her request a plea and a demand. “H-Hawk, p-please.”
He swept her up into his arms and laid her on the bed again. He rid her of her belted skirt, her last piece of clothing and of protection from his avid gaze.
He leaned over her and caressed her body. “You’re so beautiful, you make me ache.”
Pia felt her heart squeeze.
“Are you using any protection?” he asked.
She shook her head. “No.”
He opened a nearby nightstand drawer and removed a packet.
“I don’t think I can be near you without being prepared,” he said with self-deprecation.
She gave a small smile. “S-sort of like leaving the house without your BlackBerry?”
He chuckled. “Sort of. But you make me lose my mind, whether I like it or not.”
He sheathed himself, and Pia reached her arms up to him.
She wanted him to lose control right now. The need to be joined to him was overwhelming. She wanted to experience falling over the edge again with him into paradise. It had been so long…
Hawk settled his weight on her. “Ah, Pia, let me in…”
He entered her, and they both closed their eyes, savoring the sweet sensation of their joining.
Hawk started to move, and a delicious friction began to build in Pia.
They kissed and moaned, and he bit down gently on the tender skin at the side of her throat, while she let her hands roam over his hard muscles, urging him onward.
Pia convulsed gently, once and then twice.
