Tessa's Temptation(29)

She started with his tie. "How many of these do you have?"

"Too many." He removed his watch and set it on the dresser beside him as  she slipped the expensive material from his neck. Dropping it in the  corner, she focused on the buttons of his crisp linen shirt. Once she  had them undone she tugged the hem from his pants and opened it with her  palms, covering his chest with her touch.

"You have the most amazing body." She kissed his newly exposed skin as  she slid his shirt from his shoulders, letting it fall to the floor. "I  love being tangled together with you especially after we've made love."

He took her face between his hands and nipped at her bottom lip, running  his tongue after his nibbles, tasting her sweet lips. As he kissed her,  she reached between them and unbuckled his belt.

"I sleep much better now that you're in my bed." He pulled her t-shirt  over her head, tossing it next to his tie. "My nights were very restless  when you were sleeping down the hall."

"I thought I was undressing you."

"You are." He caressed the tops of her breasts with his fingers,  watching as her nipples strained against her silky black and pink  leopard print bra. "Is this new?" He slipped his finger under the strap.                       
       
           



       

"I bought some new underwear the other day. There was a sale."

"You don't have to wait for a sale, you know." Caressing the smooth skin  between her breasts, he toyed with the clasp of the demi-cup bra. The  material was thin and inexpensive. It wasn't that she didn't look good  –   she was sexy as hell  –  but he wanted her to have better things.

"I don't mind shopping the sales. I'm used to it." She lifted his  t-shirt up as he raised his arms, helping her take it off. "I'm just  happy to have a few new things to add to my wardrobe." She glanced over  his shoulder and nodded toward his huge closet. "Not that mine will ever  look like yours."

"You can have whatever you want." He popped open the clasp, freeing her  delectable tits. "I'll arrange for a proper shopping spree. I'll get you  a personal shopper too."

"You don't have to do that."

"I want to do it." He pinched her nipples, eliciting a shiver from her. "There's a difference."

"This … " She motioned between them. "Us is all I need."

"I believe that in my soul." He tilted her chin up and kissed her  softly. "That's why I'll give you everything you've ever dreamed of."  When he picked her up and carried her over to the bed, she wrapped her  legs around his waist. "Whatever you want."

"I want you."

"You have me." He sat her on the edge of the bed and dropped to his knees. "I don't think you have any idea just how much."

Sliding his hands up her legs, he gripped the waistband of her yoga  pants and yanked them down her legs. Once they were gone, he took her  feet in his hands. "You have such sexy toes." He bent and kissed them.  "I love it when your toenails are painted."

She painted her toes and fingernails in striking colors every few days.  Tonight they were a shiny silver. He raised his head and focused his  attention on her almost naked body. One more thing had to go. He hooked  his fingers on either side of her panties and with a quick movement he  freed her of them.

"How is it that I always end up naked first?" She lay back on the bed, exposed and ready for the taking.

"I'm impatient." Nuzzling the inside of her thighs, he worked his way up  to her heat. As he sprinkled kisses over her slit, he unbuttoned his  pants. He couldn't draw this out if he tried. The need to be one with  her was too strong. His desire for her grew bigger every day.

He stood and lowered his zipper. "You've taken over every thought in my  head." He pushed his pants and boxers down before reaching for her  ankles. "I used to consider myself a rational man. One who could  exercise a semblance of self-control." He pulled her to the edge of the  bed and tucked her legs around his waist. "But now I can't even manage  to get my shoes off before fucking you."

"I believe that was supposed to be my job tonight."

"We'll work on it next time." He rammed forward, thrusting into her,  making sure to sheath every inch of his length in her slick center.

"Oh..." She gripped the comforter beneath her as her back arched with  pleasure. Her eyes were half-closed and her hair fanned out around her.

He took her small hips in his hands, holding her still so he could have  his way with her. The sexy little noises she made each time he pulled  out and reentered her only served to further diminish his wavering  control. The harder he pounded into her the faster his climax  approached. Logically he should slow down but there was no reasoning  when it came to Tessa. No man could resist her. And he was no exception.

He focused his attention on her, watching as she moved her hands to her  breasts and circled her fingertips over her aroused nipples. God, what  this woman did to him.

"Chase," she moaned. "I can't get enough..."

"I know the feeling, but I can't let you do my job." He pulled out of  her and flipped her onto her knees so he could touch more of her. "Are  you close?"

"Yes." She glanced at him over his shoulder. "Why did you stop?"

"So I could get my hands on those tits." He kissed her hard before  pressing down on the small of her back and pushing inside her again.  "You're so tight." He snaked his hands up her stomach and squeezed her  breasts, rubbing his thumbs over her nipples as he slammed forward, each  thrust more violent than the last.

When her flesh clamped down around his cock, he could take no more. She  screamed out his name, exhaling long and hard as he released within her  core. His legs buckled under the intensity of the experience and he fell  forward, trapping her between him and the mattress.                       
       
           



       

She giggled quietly.

"You think that's funny?"

"I have this image of you with your pants wrapped around your ankles and  your shoes and socks still on." She laughed again. The sound warmed his  heart. "Not at all the meticulous businessman who walked through the  door thirty minutes ago."

"I told you." He rolled onto his side and pulled her onto his chest.  "You have a way of making me forsake all rational behavior."

"Rational doesn't exist between us." She kissed his shoulder. "It never did."

"I don't expect it ever will." He stroked her hair. "But I'm okay with that."

"Hmm..." She cuddled deeper into his hold. "As long as I can fall asleep  like this every night, I don't care about anything else."

"It's not time for bed, gorgeous girl." He tugged on her hair. "The only  thing that comes close to sex with you is May's beef stew. The fact  that I turned it down to ravish you speaks volumes."

"Beef stew is up there with having sex with me?" She propped herself on  her arm and stared at him incredulously. "Are you serious?"

"Extremely." He grinned. "Wait until you taste it."

"What are we waiting for?" She sat up. "I need to experience this. Maybe I'll like it even better than sex," she teased.

He grabbed her and pulled her back down on the bed, rolling on top of  her. "I don't think so." He kissed her neck as he slid his hand down her  stomach to her center. Running his fingers along her entrance, he  coated them with their combined juices. "Just remember how you got this  way."

"That feels so good." She rocked herself into his hand, causing his  fingers to slip inside. "Maybe you better remind me again how much I  like it when you make me come."

"Such a naughty girl." He continued to explore her. "I'll make you come all night."

No reasoning at all. They were both starving. He should be feeding her  not fingering her. But when she spread her legs for him, he lost all  focus.

They had all night to eat.





Chapter Seventeen



As Tess got ready for bed, Chase watched the evening news. He'd worked  later than usual tonight and missed dinner but she'd waited up for him.  She didn't like going to bed without him.

"I've been thinking about our conversation the other night." He picked up the remote from the bed and turned off the TV.

"Which one?" She put on one of his pajama shirts because she liked being surrounded in his smell.

"The one where you said I do all the giving and you do all the taking."  He fluffed the pillows against the headboard and leaned into them. "It  left me unsettled."
