Luke cuts himself off as notices me standing there.
“Antonio, just take care of it please. Shayne and I will be at my house all day if you need to reach me,” he says, and disconnects the call.
Placing the bag on the floor, I walk over and put my arms around him. The tension is quickly dissolved.
“I don’t know what this case is about, but I don’t like seeing you get so upset over this,” I tell him, running a hand down his back.
Letting out a deep breath, he pushes the hair back off of my face and cups my cheeks in his hands.
“It’s my job, baby. Sometimes these cases are a little stressful, but I don’t want you worrying about anything,” he says, bringing his lips close to mine. Placing his hand under one of the straps on my dress, he slowly pulls it down. “I have plans for you all day, and although I love this dress, my plans include taking it off.”
Feeling the wetness between my legs, I know that my panties are going to be completely soaked by the time we get to his house. I lean my head against his and exhale the breath I had no idea I was holding as he pulls back. My body instantly feels the loss.
He takes my hand in his and lifts my bag with his other, leading me out of the house. I pick up my purse and phone on the way out and we lock up the house, walking hand in hand to his Range Rover. He settles me and my bag inside then comes around and climbs into the driver’s seat. Leaning over the center console, he grabs me by the back of my neck and kisses me deeply before starting the engine and pulling off.
Chapter Seventeen
The drive to his house is full of playful banter, but as we approach his home my chest starts to tingle. I know what we are about to do. I have dreamed about this day so many times I have lost count; I want to make love to him more than I have wanted anything in my life. My body starts shaking.
Luke helps me out of the car and walks me inside. The minute the door closes, he spins me around and pushes me up against the door. Before I can catch my breath, he pulls my hands above my head and looks deeply into my eyes.
“Let me take you upstairs and make love to you, baby,” he murmurs huskily.
I am so turned on right now that I just nod my head, unable to form the words. He releases my hands and lightly grabs the back of my neck. Without saying a word, he slowly traces the shell of my ear with his tongue while he takes his other hand and gently brushes my cheek. I feel myself start to shiver as I suck in a deep breath and sigh.
“Tell me what you want, baby.”
Without hesitation, I lift my lashes and look right into those stunning emerald eyes.
“I want you.”
The hand on my cheek glides down the side of my neck, skimming my shoulder and the sensitive flesh of my arm, raising goose bumps in its path until his fingers reach mine and lift them to his lips.
“You have me, Shayne,” he promises. “Are you sure you’re ready for this? Because once I have you again I won’t ever be able to let you go.”
I look him in his eyes and nod ‘yes’. He scoops me up into his arms and carries me fiercely up the stairs to his bedroom, where he sits me down on his bed and stares at me for the briefest of moments. He lifts his shirt over his head and moves up the bed until he is lying on top of me. Lowering his head, he begins to slowly kiss my forehead, then continues down to my nose and then my lips. We kiss with so much passion that I can feel my body starting to shake. He runs his tongue along my bottom lip but then stops and brings his gaze up to mine.
“Let me love you baby. I want to show you how much I love you.”
I reach up and pull him closer into me. My hands slide into the hair at the back of his head and I thread my fingers through his thick waves.
“Make love to me Luke,” I moan.
Without saying a word, he slowly lifts my shirt over my head. His hands travel over the swell of my aching breasts, then slide down and remove my shorts, his right hand skimming across my ribs.
“My God, baby. Look at you. I want to taste every inch of you. This body has been permanently etched in my brain for years. Tesoro bella, you are absolutely exquisite.”
I move to take his shorts off because I can’t wait any longer. My body needs to feel him inside of me so damn bad, but he reaches for my hand and stops me.
“No, baby. Let me. Today is all about you.”
He proceeds to strip himself completely bare. I stand there staring at every beautiful inch of him in complete adoration. His erection is so huge and thick.
I have to tell him, I think to myself. I have to tell him that the only man I have ever been with is him.
Before I get the chance to say anything, he scoops me up in his arms and lays me down in the middle of the bed, climbing on top of me as my legs spread for him of their own accord. He kisses me everywhere… my mouth, my neck, as he runs his hands down my stomach and ends up at the spot between my legs that is begging for his touch. He parts my folds and I am so wet and ready for him as he slips one finger inside of me.
