I pause to prop my hands on my hips, hitting her with a lethal glare before I deliver the next bit. Her lips are parted, and her eyes are wide and glistening in the security light as she falls back against the white siding.
She looks like a goddamn angel.
“Third of all, you are not now, nor could you ever be a convenience fuck. In fact, you are the most inconvenient fuck of my life. Which is why I need you to hear the next part.”
“There’s more?” she gasps, her fingers touching her parted lips.
“A lot more, Cassandra,” I growl, my voice echoing off the house as I stalk toward her, slowly registering her body language to make sure I’m not scaring the fuck out of her.
I might be scaring the fuck out of myself.
I’m not sure I’ve ever spoken like this to a woman before. Not even my ex-wife got under my skin this much.
When I enter her space, I flatten one hand on the siding by her face and use my other to tug at the tie on her waist. Her chest heaves as I pull apart the thin robe to reveal the matching tie-dyed short set she’s wearing. It’s green, like her eyes. I run my finger along the exposed part of her soft stomach. My cock thickens in my jeans at the memory of my lips on her flesh.
I lean into her neck and inhale deeply, running my nose from her neck to her ear and then her hair. A low grumble vibrates in my chest when that heady scent of coconut hits me.
I have her right where I want her. Placid, responsive, and thankfully quiet for what I’m about to say.
My voice is low and controlled as my breath falls on her ear. “If you think for one fucking second your body isn’t everything I want…” My voice catches in my throat as I palm her side, my thumb brushing along her breast as my pulse races in my veins. I take a deep breath to collect myself. “Everything I have been craving…” I blow softly on her collarbone and relish in the shiver I see roll through her body. “And everything I jack off to when I can’t sleep at night because you haunt all my waking moments…” My tongue slickens my lips as I pull back to stare hungrily at hers. “Then you’re not as smart as you think you are.”
In one last ditch effort, I grab her hand and place it on my groin, eliciting a gasp from her perfect, plump lips. Her fingers form around the ridges of my cock, squeezing the firmness of it through my jeans.
Her head falls into my chest as she sags into me, so I dip my head and whisper against her earlobe. “I’m a grown-ass man, and I’ve never been inspired to give a woman a hickey before. Make no mistake, you aren’t a convenience fuck, Cassandra. You are a dream fuck.”
Her eyes snap to mine as she releases my dick to grab my neck and haul me down to her. Our mouths fuse, our tongues gliding against each other as my hands roam her supple curves, squeezing and groping as the dam finally breaks inside both of us.
I slip my hands inside her robe and slide my palms down to her ass, hoisting her up into my arms. Her strong legs wrap around me as I carry her through her open door, kicking it closed behind me once we’re inside.
This is how I expected the night to end. Her in my arms, my cock nudged firmly into her warm center. If she needs me to tell her she’s fucking beautiful every goddamn day to get her to believe it, I’ll do it. I’ll make it my life’s mission to do it. For her and for Everly.
But Everly is the farthest thing from my mind as I make my way over to the ladder that leads up to the loft. I press Cassandra’s ass against the rungs and take the opportunity to rip the robe off her body. My lips find her chest as I glide my hands over her delicious legs, my fingers digging greedily into her flesh as her sweet sounds have my cock trying to bust through my jeans. Jesus, I need to be inside her.
My voice is a husky growl against her neck when I say, “I still maintain that I can throw you over my shoulder, but I’m afraid my abilities stop at carrying you up a fucking ladder. Not unless you want to risk breaking my cock in the process.”
A high-pitched laugh bursts out of her, and the sexy sound of it lights up my whole fucking body. I actually feel myself smiling like a dope as I pepper kisses against her neck.
Fuck, I’ve never heard her laugh like that before. It’s a good sound.
She slides her hand between our flush bodies and strokes my cock. “A broken dick is no use to me.”
“Then get fucking climbing.” I nudge her with the topic of conversation, and she bites her lip sexily.
Giggling, she turns to begin her ascent, and I can’t help but reach out and smack her ass hard. She yelps and pauses on the ladder as I lift the hem of her shorts up and take a bite out of her juicy ass. God, it’s just too irresistible not to taste.
