it open.
„Please, Kyle. Please. Now. I want you. I’ve never felt this way before. Please.“
„Let me inside you,“ he muttered as he settled her onto her back and loomed over her. His eyes were glittering gemstones in the dark shadows. His face was a taut mask of desire. „I need to be inside you. I need to know you’re mine.“
She parted her legs for him again, her fingers digging into his shoulders as he moved quickly to take possession of her soft, womanly secrets. She held her breath as she felt him guide himself to the entrance of her body.
„Open your eyes, baby. Look at me. I want to see you looking at me when I take you.“ Kyle’s fingers moved in her hair.
She lifted her lashes, knowing full well that she was revealing her need, her subtle, primitive, feminine fear of surrender and her love. When she met his gaze she struggled desperately to see beneath the surface of his hard, demanding desire. But it was impossible. His raging need dominated everything in that moment.
„I love you, Kyle,“ she said for the second time that night.
„Show me, baby. Take me inside and show me.“ He pushed into her abruptly, thrusting hard until he had lodged himself deeply within her. She welcomed him, crying out with soft pleasure. He drank the small sounds from her lips, savoring them.
He was still for a moment, his whole body taut with the effort. He waited until they had both adjusted to the intimate connection and then began to move.
Each stroke was slow, sure and as deep as Kyle could make it. Rebecca’s head spun with sensation. Instinctively she lifted her hips to meet his thrusts. Kyle muttered against her throat, words of rough, driving sensuality. Rebecca shuddered in his tight hold, surrendering completely to the violent demands of the passion they had generated between them.
The culmination of their lovemaking seized them quickly, hurling them both into a whirlpool of convulsive release that seemed to go on forever. Kyle went rigid all over, and Rebecca dimly heard his half-strangled shout of triumph and satisfaction. She knew she was calling his name in a soft litany.
And then it was over, and Rebecca acknowledged to herself that the walls of her personal world, once so carefully structured, had been permanently breached. Nothing would ever be quite the same again for her.
An element of wildness had been introduced into her civilized world. And she knew that Kyle Stockbridge was the man she had been waiting for all her life.
It was a long time before Kyle could bring himself to roll clear of Rebecca’s warm, soft body. Eventually, with a sigh of relaxed satisfaction he flopped onto his back and gathered her against his side.
He should probably tell her everything now, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it. He told himself it didn’t really seem like an appropriate time to start a long, involved explanation. Morning would be soon enough for the kind of story he had to tell. Right now he just wanted to enjoy the aftermath.
The future, now that he had time to think about it, appeared bright and beckoning. It was amazing how much more clearly he could think now that he had temporarily assuaged the compelling desire that had been growing in him for the past few weeks.
„Kyle?“
„Hmm?“ He yawned magnificently.
„What are you thinking?“
„I’m thinking that you’re the best thing that’s happened to me in a very long time,“ he said honestly.
Rebecca smiled in the darkness and snuggled closer. „I’m glad. I was just thinking something similar about you.“
He laughed indulgently, pleased by the small confession. „Good. Then you won’t give me any static when I tell you what happens next.“
She stilled. „What does happen next?“
He propped himself up on one elbow and looked down at her questioning face. She looked so gentle and sweetly sensual with her dark hair in a tangle around her shoulders. One shadowed nipple peeked up at him from the edge of the sheet.
