HER BODY WAS on fire.
Hot, molten pleasure radiated out from every point it came into contact with the deliciously hard planes of Romeo’s body. He towered over her, his eyes as dark as the sky above as he stared down at her. His fingers were a whisper as they skimmed over her cheek before sliding into her hair, rubbing a strand between them before tucking it behind her ear.
With a focus that held incredible promise for things to come, he leaned closer.
Tessa’s heart clenched, anticipation coiling tight around desire as she waited to see what he would do. She’d been secretly dreaming about his lips for months. Wondering what they’d feel like. Would he be forceful and take her mouth? Or would he gently seduce?
Their eyes locked on each other’s, Gabriel’s smile flashed for just a second. The closer he came, the more excited she got. At the last second, before he reached her lips, he changed direction. Tessa shivered as his breath whispered over her ear a heartbeat before his lips.
Oh. As his mouth brushed her flesh, anticipation uncoiled, sending that desire shooting through her system.
Holy screaming orgasms.
With one hand pressed to the small of her back and the other curled into her hair and just the sweetest brush of his mouth, Romeo sent her from intrigued and cautious to wet and needy. She sank her fingers into his biceps, delighting in the sensations.
Tessa was a woman exquisitely in tune with her own body, brilliantly aware of the nuances that played out between women and men and fiercely sensitive to the potentially emotional missteps.
Which, she remembered as a knot of panic balled in her belly, at odds with the feeling of throbbing desire, was why she’d determined so many months ago that Romeo was off-limits.
Because he was dangerous on so very many levels.
She gave an involuntary hum as his teeth nipped at her earlobe, the sharp pleasure shooting through her body like a wake-up message to her erogenous zones.
Tessa was also a woman of fierce pride.
She’d come out here to seduce Romeo for a very good reason.
And just because it was a mistake—probably a huge mistake—didn’t mean those reasons weren’t still valid.
She pressed her palms against the rock-solid walls of his chest, her fingers kneading before she skimmed them down to his waist and around to cup his sexy butt. The move pulled his body closer to hers. Since she was barefoot and he was at least six foot tall, the evidence of just how huge he was pressed temptingly against her stomach.
Oh, yeah, baby.
What better way to prove her power than to take on something so huge, so big, so overpowering—Tessa’s thighs trembled as images, mostly naked, flashed through her head.
As if he were reading her mind and had decided to reward her for coming to the very decision he wanted, Gabriel’s mouth slid over her cheek again. Whispering kisses trailed from her ear to the corner of her mouth.
She parted her lips, keeping the invitation subtle. But smart guy that he was, Romeo grabbed the invite and ran with it. Whisper soft, he rubbed his lips over hers. His kiss was as gentle as the breeze dancing around them and just as innocuous. She breathed in his scent, fresh like the ocean beyond, and Tessa’s heart sighed at the sweetness of his kiss. Her mind was a little amused that she’d gotten all worked up and worried over something this, well, nice. But hey, better to overreact than underestimate.
Who said sexual chemistry led to explosions? She laughed in the back of her head. Not minding that this was one of the few times she’d misread sexual potential, she skimmed her hands from his arms to his shoulders, then comfortably linked her fingers behind his neck. Relaxed and ready to enjoy the warmth, she loosened her guard and leaned a little closer.
Later, she’d wonder if Romeo had some sort of triggering device that told him when her defenses had hit their lowest. Because that was when he made his move.
Romeo’s hands shifted from her hair to cup her butt, pulling her tight against his body. His mouth angled, lips widening as he shifted gears from sweet to sexy with the slip of his tongue.
Before she could do more than gasp, he plunged.
His teeth scraped over her bottom lip, his tongue sweeping her mouth, luring hers into his before tangling them together so tight, so close, that her brain didn’t even have time to send up warning signals.
It was too busy exploding.
Right along with her body.
Tessa felt as if she were melting, floating on a sea of sensations.
As Romeo’s mouth moved over hers, her entire being leaned into the kiss.
Amazing.
Deliciously, mind-bogglingly, warning-signal-worthy amazing.
Every single portion of her being was focused on him.
On his mouth as it slid over hers.
On the taste of him coating her tongue, rich and addicting.
On the feel of his hands, rough and demanding on her hips.
On the intensity of his body as it pressed tight against her soft curves.
Mmm, he was delicious.
Her fingers skimmed over the soft cotton of his dress shirt, over the hard breadth of his shoulders, delighting in the powerful muscles there. She scraped her nails down his chest, giving a low purr deep in her throat at his body’s instant reaction. His hips thrust, his hands tightened on her hips and his tongue stabbed deeper into her mouth, demanding even more.
She hummed low in her throat like a satisfied cat, reveling in the pleasure of their passion.
She’d known it’d be like this.
That he’d feel like the answer to her every sexual fantasy.
That he’d know just where to touch, just how to move, to make her ready to beg for more.
Tessa’s head fell back, inviting Gabriel to have more.
His lips skimmed over her flesh, soft as air until he unerringly found the spot there, just beneath her ear, just above her shoulder. He scraped it with his teeth, tongue sliding hot and molten over her flesh.
Tiny tremors rocked through her body, her panties damp with passion as Tessa pressed her thighs together tightly to intensify the feeling.
