Revealed by You(83)
He kissed my forehead. “Never apologize. I understand. I was going to wait awhile longer but you…” His gaze heated. “You were moaning my name in your sleep.”
My breath caught in my throat. “Really?”
He brushed a hand down the length of my body. “I want to make love to your body. I want to be tender and give you what I know you want and need from me.”
“You do?” I asked, frowning.
He chuckled. “Surprised?”
“Yes, I am actually,” I said and watched as he knelt between my legs.
“Why?”
“Because…” I chewed my bottom lip. I didn’t know how to respond without offending him.
“I’m always rough?” he asked, grabbing hold of my hand and placing a soft kiss on my knuckles.
“Yes.”
His deep sapphire eyes twinkled. “Complaining?”
“No, never. I just—”
“I’m teasing.” He laughed. “I knew what you meant, Evvie.”
I let out a breath of relief. What had gotten into him? Since everything that had happened over the past couple of weeks, I couldn’t help but feel like our relationship would never be normal.
“As much as I enjoy seeing my marks on your beautiful skin after I take you rough, right now…” He licked his bottom lip.
My insides melted at that small movement.
He winked. “I’m going to savour you.”
“How are you going to do that?” I asked, wrapping my legs around his waist.
“Sweet Evvie. I’m going to give you something you’ve been wanting for a while now. Something I know you crave and need from me.”
My heart thudded. “What?”
He gripped my hips and pulled me under him. “Do you want me to tell you or show you?”
I smiled and grabbed hold of his wrists. “Both.”
He leaned down and placed another kiss on my forehead, letting his lips linger as he inhaled deep. “If you’re not ready—”
“No. I am. Please.”
“That’s what I was hoping you would say. Now where was I?” He leaned down to my ear and nipped the side of my neck. “I’m going to make love to you,” he purred. “I’m going to kiss and lick every inch of your skin. After I’m done, if I feel the need to do it again, you won’t stop me, will you, Evvie?”
I shook my head, words lost on my tongue at the deep husk of his voice.
Brett kissed my jaw, trailing light touches down to my ear while his hands roamed down the sides of my hips. “I’m going to love your body how it deserves to be loved.”
“But…”
“But what?”
I wrapped my hands around his neck. “I like the rough side of you.”
“I know,” he breathed against my ear. “But I’m going to show you a side that has lain dormant until I met you. A side that is meant for only you.”
I nuzzled my nose against his neck, breathing in the scent of man and soap. My body quivered, building with pent up desire for him. “What’s changed?”
“Me. You’ve changed me.”
My eyes widened and I cupped his cheeks. “I have?”
A smug grin spread on his face. “Lover, you have no idea what you have done for me, do you?”
“No, I guess I don’t.”
He brushed strands of hair off my forehead, his eyes warming. “You’ve loved me. That’s what you have done.” He trailed kisses over my collarbone.
I tilted my head back, giving him the access I knew he desired.
“After what you’ve been through, your body needs a little tenderness from the man that loves it most.”
My heart jumped. “Tell me.”
He raised an eyebrow. “What?”
“Tell me again what you were thinking during our first time together.”
He smirked and brushed a finger down the side of my cheek. “When I saw you standing by the patio doors, the way the moonlight caressed your skin, you were like an angel,” he kissed my lips. “sent from Heaven. Just for me. I remember the way your blonde curls touched your shoulders. I was jealous of them,” his voice lowered. “Your hair was touching you and I wasn’t. When you stripped…God, Evvie. You have no idea how hard it was for me to control myself.”
My stomach flipped.
“At that moment, I knew that I would never get enough of you.”
A small smile splayed on my face.
“You’re beautiful. Passionate. You see me for me even when I’m being a dick. You’re patient, kind and you love hard.”
“I think you’re the one that loves hard, Brett,” I said, running my hands up and down his strong thick arms.
