“Hello?”
Not voicemail. “Hey, it’s Summer.”
“Let me guess, you want to know if I can fill in for you, right?”
“How’d you know?”
“I thought maybe you’d be, uh, distracted today. I took the initiative and let myself in.”
Gage shifted positions so she was flat on her back, his body pinning hers to the mattress. She nearly lost track of the conversation as he dipped his head and kissed her nipple. “You’re already downstairs?”
“Yep. Now quit jabbering and go have fun with that sexy hunk.”
Damn good idea, Summer thought, ending the call. “Looks like I have the day free,” she explained to Gage as he moved off the bed and pulled her into his arms.
“Good, because I want you again, but I think a shower would do us both some good.” He stopped, then stared at two closed doors. “Which is the bathroom?”
“The one on the left,” she mumbled as she rested her head against his chest and allowed him to carry her off.
The day had progressed from playing together in the shower to watching an old black and white movie. At least they’d tried to watch the movie. Gage kept distracting her with his lips and hands. After he’d sprinted back to his room to retrieve the condoms, they’d made love on the living room carpet. She’d never known a man to be so insatiable, so unrestrained. Summer thought maybe she even had a rug burn on her ass, but she’d loved every second of it and simply couldn’t bring herself to complain about the minor sore.
They’d talked a lot too. Gage shared his life with her. He told her about his job as a private investigator, filling her in on some of his more interesting cases. He’d led such a fascinating life, and she couldn’t help but wonder why he was spending time with a woman who’d never been outside the state of New Jersey.
Gage had asked tons of questions about her parents, her friends, her dreams. Finally the conversation had turned to her marriage. She’d shared some of the grief she’d felt when she’d gotten the call about Seth’s car accident. Gage had listened intently to all of it. The day had slipped by in a whirl of excitement.
Now, as she stood in her bathing suit on her private porch, mere feet from her hot tub, which contained her drop-dead sexy lover, Summer’s temperature spiked.
“Come on, pretty baby, no one can see you. Slip out of that swimsuit and let me see that sweet body.”
Gage sat in the water, his arms spread out over the back of the hot tub, tempting her. He hadn’t even bothered with swim trunks. She couldn’t see below the water’s bubbling surface, but she knew the heavy erection that awaited her. Summer hooked her fingers beneath the straps of her turquoise suit and slid them down her shoulders. As her breasts sprang free, the night air hit her nipples. They hardened to painful peaks. She groaned and covered her face with her hands. “I cannot believe I’m doing this.”
“It’s just me,” Gage whispered, the deep baritone an invitation no woman could resist. “No one can see you.”
She removed her hands and looked around. The only light came from the many candles they’d placed around the patio and the full moon that lit up the sky. “I’m really glad I had the privacy fence built.”
Water splashed around as Gage slowly stood and came toward her. “Me too. So, what’s the problem?”
“I’ve never done anything like this. It feels so…wicked.”
The caress of his nearly black gaze had her buzzing with anticipation. “I like you a bit wicked, sweetheart.”
Summer took a deep breath before shimmying out of the suit entirely. The breeze coming off the ocean raised goose bumps along her arms. Gage held out a hand and helped her into the tub. The warm water chased away the cold and pulled her further into the erotic web Gage so effortlessly weaved around them. She shook a fraction when Gage took her in his arms. “Cold?”
She sank into the warmth and comfort of his embrace. “Not really.”
Gage cupped her chin and forced her to look at him. “Excited?”
She nodded, unable to speak past the lump forming in her throat. He leaned down and teased her with his lips. The kiss was light and quick. Enough to entice, but not enough to satisfy.
“I’m damned excited too. Feel.” He took her hand and drew it under the surface of the water. She cupped his cock in her palm and squeezed. Summer’s pussy throbbed with need.
He removed her hand and chuckled. “Too much of that and this party will be cut short.” He moved to sit on one of the benches, then pulled her down so she straddled him. “Mmm, such a pretty sight,” he said as his gaze zeroed in on her breasts. Her nipples tingled, as if begging for Gage’s attention. With the sole purpose of driving the man crazy, Summer cupped her breasts and started massaging the sensitive orbs. A slow curving of his lips filled Summer with a sense of feminine satisfaction.
“Allow me,” Gage murmured as he removed Summer’s hands and replaced them with his own.
Gage’s eyes took in the bounty before him, from her puffy pink nipples to her nipped-in waist. He wanted to lick her from head to toe. As he drifted his fingers over her nipples, watching them harden and pebble, Gage’s hunger intensified. “The first time I saw you, I wanted to fuck you, Summer.” She licked her lips and flexed her hands against his chest. “I watched you walk,” he admitted. “Your sexy ass beckoned me to squeeze. And these pretty, round tits.” He cupped one and groaned. “God, you have the most magnificent breasts I’ve ever seen. I imagined licking your nipples. My mouth waters for the taste of your sweet flesh, baby.” He shifted slightly and placed his cock between her slick folds, rubbing up and down, creating a firestorm of need.
“Gage, you’re driving me crazy.”
