Tearing from her mouth, he held her with a hooded gaze. Paige pitifully whimpered at the loss of his swollen lips now glistening in the moonlight.
“I can’t wait any longer.” His strained tenor reverberated through his chest and vibrated over her pebbled nipples. As they drew up impossibly tighter, throbbing in time with the pulse of her clit, fire spread from her womb and engulfed her limbs.
Desire sizzled in the air.
“Are you sure this is what you want?”
Austin had touched her on such a pure and primal level, she couldn’t say no if she’d wanted to. And Paige definitely didn’t want to.
“Yes. I’m tired of being a little girl in your eyes.”
“Trust me, darlin’. You’re always gonna be my little girl,” he promised as he bent and hoisted her into his arms. Cradling her against his chest, Austin strode back into the bedroom. After easing her onto the bed, he pressed a fleeting kiss to her lips. “I’ll be as gentle as I can.”
“No.” Paige shook her head. “Don’t hold back anything. Please.”
He stroked a knuckle down her cheek and shook his head. “You’re not ready for the kinky things I want to do to you.”
“Kinky? Like what? Tie me up or something?”
“Not yet.”
Paige wasn’t sure what shocked her more, his reply and the heat flaring in his eyes or the instant rush of arousal soaking her panties. She knew one thing—Austin’s kink comment just gave her a brand-new fantasy to explore when she was alone in her bed and thinking about him.
Blatantly stripping her bare with his stare, Austin strode to the end of the bed. Without taking his eyes off her, he bent and lifted her foot from the mattress before tugging off her boot and pressing a tender kiss to her arch. After repeating the process with her other foot, Austin skimmed his calloused hands up the insides of her legs, making her muscles twitch, her heart rate double, and goose bumps peppering her flesh.
Paige bit back a suffering moan as his words echoed in her ears. I aim to make your first time so magical you’ll remember this night forever…and shiver.
She already was. And the urge to prod him to move faster, to put out the fire building within, lay poised on her lips. But Paige remained silent while she branded every minute and vivid detail of this magical night with Austin to memory.
Intently watching her reaction, Austin began unbuttoning his shirt. Paige lifted to her elbows and watched as he worked the pearl-colored discs free, eagerly drinking in the glimpses of dark hair splattered over his sun-kissed skin. As he released the last button, his shirt parted, revealing a line of dark hair trailing from his chest, down his sculpted abs, before disappearing beneath his jeans.
She tried to swallow, but her mouth was as dry as the desert. But when he peeled the shirt off his thick shoulders and tossed it to the floor, a quivering sigh spilled off her lips. Fighting the need to crawl to the foot of the bed and trace her tongue over every hard ridge and sculpted plane, Paige pressed her tongue to the roof of her mouth and stared in awe at his chiseled muscles and bronze flesh.
For once, the gods are smiling on me.
“You all right?”
“Couldn’t be better.”
“Wanna bet?” He smirked.
As Austin bent to remove his own boots, Paige sat up and craned her neck, then watched the powerful muscles of his shoulder and back bunch and flex.
“Mercy.”
He flashed her a crooked grin.
“Oops. Did I say that out loud?”
He chuckled and nodded, then slowly sobered before crooking his finger. “Come here, little girl.”
Paige scampered off the bed as Austin removed his belt and loosened the button of his jeans. Homing in on his zipper, Paige swallowed tightly and waited for him to unleash the beast that constantly teased and prodded her pussy. But when he made no effort to lower his zipper, Paige snapped her head up and wrinkled a brow.
“Aren’t you going to get naked?”
“Eventually. Ladies first.”
“O-okay.”
Ready to get the party started, Paige gripped the hem of her dress and began to lift it over her head. Austin stepped in close and seized her wrists. “No. Not like that. Like this…”
Pressing his lips to her collarbone, he dragged his tongue to the hammering pulse point at the base of her throat while sliding his long fingers beneath the fabric of her dress before tugging it down her shoulder, slowly exposing her flesh. His mouth followed, kissing, laving, and nipping each tingling inch. Her nerve endings were singing, body throbbing, and head spinning. Paige gripped the smooth baluster at the foot of the bed and arched into his wicked mouth, silently begging him to devour her whole.
His growl of approval erased all doubts about her disappointing him.
When she realized he’d stopped painting her in a trail of fire, Paige lifted her heavy lids to find him gazing at her in unmistakable wonder. Darting a glance at her own body, Paige was surprised to find her dress lying in a heap at her feet. Except for her black demi bra and matching lace panties, she was naked.
“You’re fucking gorgeous,” he murmured, holding her hostage with a hungry stare. “But I need to see all of you… now.”
His commanding tone was as shocking as it was arousing. But before she could try and analyze why, Austin had unfastened her bra and dragged the straps down her arms. As it floated to the floor alongside her dress, Paige’s nipples strained and throbbed against the cold air.
A blink later, Austin was kneeling on the floor in front of her, gripping her hips and raking his thumbs along her pelvic bones while staring at the scrap of lace between her legs. With a tortured groan, he pressed his nose against her panties and breathed her in as if inhaling his last breath, sucking the sweltering heat from her core.
“Jesus,” he murmured before dragging his tongue up the saturated silk.
As fire and ice chased the growing fever inside her, Paige clasped his head in her hands and rocked against his tongue with a guttural groan. Hooking his fingers under the lace at her hips, Austin dragged her panties down her thighs and past her knees. Lifting one foot, then the other, he slid the lace free and drew the fabric to his nose. Austin closed his eyes and breathed in her scent as shivers climbed her spine.
“If I don’t get my mouth on you, coat my tongue in your virgin sugar, I’m going to lose my fucking mind,” he growled. “Spread your legs, little girl, so I can tongue-fuck you to oblivion.”
Shivering, Paige widened her stance, clutching his head tighter as the cool air of the room collided with the wet heat of her pussy. Her shiver rolled into a full-body quiver when Austin wrapped his hands around the tops of her thighs and parted her folds with his thumb.
“Mmm,” he moaned. “So pretty and pink. So wet and swollen.”
“Austin,” she whimpered.
“Easy. Relax. I’m fixin’ to make it all better. I promise.”
