“Like what?” she asked, touching the rim of the glass to her bottom lip.
“The last time I saw that look we ended up leaving a club together and fucking all night. That’s the kind of look I’m talking about. Unless you’d like a repeat of that night…I’d suggest you start thinking about puppies or kittens or basketball…whatever shuts down the engine.”
“What if I don’t want to shut it down?” she asked, holding her breath. What if he rejected her? Oh God, she’d die right there on the spot. But as he advanced, plucking her wine glass from her hand and pulling her tightly to him, she knew he wanted her just as badly as she wanted him and she nearly buckled. “Nolan,” she whispered, her head dropping back as he immediately nibbled the soft skin of her neck. “I know we shouldn’t but I can’t help myself. This doesn’t change anything, if we do this. Understand?”
He growled and the sound both thrilled and terrified her because she knew he was calling her bluff. Everything would change and they both knew it. She clutched at him, reveling in the way they fit together like two puzzle pieces and within a heartbeat he’d hefted her into his arms and her legs wound around his torso as their mouths found one another. Tongues and lips began a carnal dance as their lust climbed to a fevered pitch between them and Shannon no longer cared about the potential consequences. She’d been dreaming about Nolan since the day she’d walked away from his penthouse but she’d been too stubborn to admit that their one-night stand could’ve been a prelude to many more nights together. She’d known he’d wanted more but for how long? She hadn’t wanted to be the one left behind when the time came and so had left first.
He carried her to the bedroom and quietly shut the door. His consideration of Aubrey, even in his lust-fueled haze, caused her to spiral deeper into a place she might never willfully return.
“God, woman,” he groaned, his hands filled with her ass. “What have I been missing all this time?” They tumbled to the bed and she rolled on top, ripping at his clothes as eagerly as he tore off hers. When they were blissfully naked, she realized with a hot flush of embarrassment that her body had changed since they’d last been together. Was he disgusted by her stretch marks? Did he notice that her breasts were slightly different after breastfeeding Aubrey for a year? He caught her hands just as she started to cover her breasts, his gaze hot. “You’re beautiful to me. More so than any woman I’ve ever seen. Don’t ever hide from me.”
“Pregnancy changes a woman,” Shannon said quietly, sliding her tongue along her lips as she gazed at him, feeling vulnerable and exposed. “I was afraid.”
He rose up and cradled her to him, the warm head of his cock nudging her. “Does this feel as if I’m disappointed in what I see?” he asked, his voice a sensual caress across her nerve endings. She shook her head with a shy smile. “I could never be disappointed in your body. You gave my daughter life,” he said, right before claiming her mouth again and plunging his tongue inside.
They rolled and he was on top, traveling down her body, raining kisses down her belly and across her hipbones until he came to the triangle of trimmed pubic hair. “Such sweet strawberry curls,” he murmured before delving straight between her folds without hesitating. God, Nolan knew what to do to a woman’s clit to make her squirm and cry out. Shannon thrashed her head, unable to stand the intense pleasure rippling through her but she tried to muffle her gasping cries for fear of waking Aubrey. The need to be quiet only intensified her pleasure as his clever tongue coaxed a monster orgasm from her.
“Ohh, Nolan,” she cried softly, rocking against the sensations cascading through her like a rainbow of sexual joy. “Oh, God…”
But before she could fully recover, Nolan had flipped her on her stomach and pulled her hips up. Her cheeks burned as she remembered what he’d done to her the last time she’d been in this position but her stomach muscles quivered with anticipation. His hand explored the rounded curve of her behind and dipped into her feminine core to slide her honeyed juices along her cleft and her eyelids fluttered shut on a moan. “Yess,” she said in a low, urgent tone, arching her back for an easier entry. “Take me that way, Nolan. Please!”
“You have the most exquisite ass,” Nolan murmured, pushing his finger against her sphincter, testing its strength and coaxing it to open with one slicked digit. “I’ve dreamed of your ass so many times I’ve lost count. Do you dream of my cock fucking you?” he asked in a silky whisper, pushing his finger deeper inside her.
