Then he collapsed on top of her. She felt his heart pounding as fast as hers, heard his ragged breaths slow with hers.
She kissed his cheek, then found his mouth.
“Are you okay?” he asked.
“Why wouldn’t I be?” Why had he asked?
Rolling off her, he pulled her to his side and folded his arm under his head. Savanna drew a pattern on his chest.
“I take it you are,” he said, grinning.
Her hand flattened on his chest, not knowing what to say. Didn’t want to think much about it. Instead, she slid a leg over him and pushed herself up to straddle his hips. Her fingers kneaded his hard chest. She moved against him.
“Uh.” He gripped her hips and moved with her. “You’re...mmm...going to have to give me a little more...ah...time, sweetheart.”
She laughed, more of a drugged sound, and leaned down to kiss him. “I don’t need more time.”
His deep chuckle heated her more. “You’re right.” He rolled them as one, then positioned her underneath him.
Savanna dug the back of her head into the pillow as he pushed her knees apart and kissed his way from her breasts to her abdomen. She sank her fingers into his beautiful hair as he found the place where she needed him most. He took his time about it, sending shivers spreading with each light touch.
She came with a soft sound she couldn’t repress and Korbin smiled as he kissed her stomach, then dragged his tongue up to one tight nipple, then the other. Taking her head between his strong hands, he looked down at her for a while, eyes soft and sending her intimate messages.
He kissed her lips, and her heart swelled with tender emotion. His tongue reached for hers and when she caressed him with equal feeling, he pressed harder. His breath grew ragged. She lay pliant while he probed for her, watching his eyes grow fevered and intense. He moved slowly, dragging back and forth until he ignited her again. Then he propped himself up by his hands to arrow into her harder. She lifted her knees.
The whirlwind peaked and settled. Korbin fell on top of her and she welcomed his hot, sweaty weight. He kissed her neck just below her ear and moved off her. Pulling her with him, he held her close.
Savanna rested her cheek on his chest, listening to his heart slow to a normal rate. She kissed his skin.
They basked in the aftermath for a while and then the world returned.
They hadn’t eaten yet today. “Let’s eat in bed.” She meant to keep this enchantment going. Because later, reality would return, and she might not like it.
She got up, naked, even though they were somewhere remote, there was something exciting about walking naked into the kitchen with the window coverings open. She was safe and cozy in here, protected by a man she didn’t want to love.
Finding a plate, she put strawberries and cheese on it and grabbed two bottles of water before going back to the bedroom. She rested the plate near Korbin’s hips and he relieved her of the bottles while she crawled onto the mattress. Sitting on folded legs, she lifted a strawberry. It was fresh and plump.
“Mmm.”
Popping the berry into her mouth, she studied him lying there all sexy on the bed, unabashed and propped on one elbow, muscles flexing, bunching.
“Let’s share everything,” she said, holding up a second strawberry.
