“No. Isaac, I’m serious.”
His riveting gaze captured hers. “So am I.”
She blew out a breath. “Can’t you give me a minute to recover from the best orgasm of my life?”
When he straightened and sat back on his heels, the enormous erection outlined by his underwear stood in stark relief. “I don’t remember that being part of the deal. You said don’t stop.”
“But…how can you top what you just did?”
He arched an eyebrow. “Is that a challenge?”
“No.” She scampered off the bed.
Stalking her movements around the room, he paced after her retreat. “You know I can’t resist a challenge.”
Her heart dropped to her toes. “Is that why you want me? I’m a challenge?”
He stopped. “At the moment, hell yes, I want you.”
That’s what he’d reduced her to—a temporary intrigue. Crossing her arms, she glared at him. “So what happens when the challenge is over?”
The ghost of a smile traced his lips. “That’s when I throw you over my shoulder, carry you back to the bed and keep you there.”
“Please.” She rolled her eyes. “You’re way too tame—”
“I’ll show you tame,” he snarled softly. And did exactly what he’d warned. He scooped her up onto his shoulder, gave her a little slap on the butt, and tossed her down to the bed. He crawled over her, planting his beside her shoulders. “Now, what will it take to keep you here?”
She raked her hands through his hair. The inky locks sprang back over his forehead. “Make love to me.”
He smiled. “Your wish is my command.”
“I like this arrangement much better,” she said before he captured her mouth with a sizzling kiss.
Parting her lips, he sucked her tongue into his mouth and stole the breath from her chest. When she whimpered, he exhaled. She inhaled. In that moment, they became one being.
Compelled to focus on her breathing, then his, they tasted each other’s deepest secrets. She’d never felt this to close to anyone. Ever. An intimacy that transcended the physical. Her body relaxed beneath him as her spirit soared.
Gradually his hips began to move against hers. His length expanded to proportions that made her dizzy. How would he possibly fit inside her, with her body so small compared to his? He must’ve sensed her tension, because he stopped moving his lower half and focused exclusively on her upper body. Whispering sexy words into her ear while his tongue caressed the rim. Nibbling her neck while his hand repositioned to cup her breast. Gliding his thumb over her nipple while he kissed a steamy trail to the tight tip.
Worried he’d go down on her again in spite of her super-sensitivity, she cupped his chin. He kissed her palm, his faint beard scraping her wrist. Urging his mouth back up to hers, she kissed him with delicate strokes of her tongue.
The tempo of his heartbeat quickened against her breasts. He reached down to remove his underwear.
And then he was there.
The soft head probed her opening, easing inside. She inhaled and her thighs clamped his hips.
“Relax, sweetheart. I’ll go slow.” His whispered assurances continued as he withdrew, almost pulling out, then pushed in deeper. He repeated the motion several times, caressing her cheeks and temples, delving in further. His gentle motions allowed her slickness to coat him.
Then he dragged his knee up higher on the bed, widening her, and plunged fully into her heat.
The sensation of being completely filled by him sent an erotic shiver up and down her spine. God, how she’d wanted this man. The reality of his smooth warm skin encasing hard muscle, pressing against her whole body, exceeded every fantasy.
Closing her eyes, she hugged him and let out a sigh. His cheek brushed against hers, his breath hot as he surrounded her, moved inside her.
One of his large hands slid into her hair, cupping the back of her head. His other hand scooped beneath her bottom, pressing her hips up as he rocked forward, deepening the length of his thrusts.
“God, Mindy. You feel so good.”
She murmured in agreement. She’d never experienced a partner so in tune with her body and her soul.
Although she felt so small compared to him, he also made her feel sexually empowered. She gave him pleasure. She made him moan. She dragged her nails up his back and caused him to shiver. In these beautiful moments, he belonged to her as much as she belonged to him. She couldn’t imagine being with any other man but him ever again.
A flood of happiness washed through her. She turned her face to the side before he saw the tear that leaked from the corner of her eye. He kissed the side of her neck that she offered him. The scrape of his teeth against her pulse jolted her, and she closed her legs around his waist, crossing her ankles behind his back.
