him she skimmed his lips again, only this time she applied more pressure. “Please, do this for me,” she whispered against his mouth. Rejection wasn’t an option.
A low guttural sound rumbled from deep within him and he pulled her to him, crushing her against his chest. She could feel the fast pumping of his heart through his shirt.
Closing her eyes to the feel of him, she let out a little sigh as his lips came swiftly down upon hers. They were warm, firm and flavoured with sweet champagne. Tentatively, she glided her hands along his shoulders and around his neck. It amazed her how easily her body moulded into his and she quivered in delight. He intensified the kiss in response and she melted into the deliberate movements of his lips, but it was still not enough. The feeling of wanting to climb inside of him and drink from some inexplicable essence was driving her forward. What it was she did not know, but she knew he was the one that could sate this inner need.
Suddenly, she gasped in surprise as she felt his tongue scorch across her bottom lip, demanding entry. Softly, she parted her lips and he sank in, probing the delicate sides of her mouth before flicking the end of her tongue. Never had she been kissed like this, with so much urgency and ardour, but close wasn’t close enough and she ran her hands through his hair pulling him further into her so that their lips quickly became a fusion of fierce passion, sending unadulterated energy searing up her spine and dissolving her insides.
A low moan escaped her as she felt his hand move from the small of her back and slide up her body to touch the side of her breast, leaving a trail of molten heat. Taunting her, he made small circular movements with his thumb under her breasts, sending her heartbeat into overdrive and she pushed against him needing more of his touch.
Laughing softly, he answered her and moved his thumb up higher across her nipple, teasing it through the material with expert touch.
An electric bolt fired through her body and she tilted her head back, revelling in the sheer thrill of each pulse.
He took that as an invitation and gripping his other arm tightly around her waist, he forced her to bend further backwards and open her neck to him and he began to kiss her jawline, continuing downwards, until he was gently sucking on the throbbing pulse that he found at the base of her neck. It was blissful and she opened herself up to him.
He devoured her skin as if she tasted of sweetness and summer and when he couldn’t taste her further due to the material being in his way, he unclipped the shoulder strap of her dress and let it fall forward to reveal the tops of her creamy breasts. If there was a point of no return this was it. She could feel that something had snapped inside of him and six years of pent up energy was about to be let loose.
“God, you’re so beautiful,” he murmured hotly, as he kissed across her full mounds.
Pulling her leg up through the side slit of the soft material, he glided his hand up her thigh and slowly moved around to capture her firm behind, feeling the silk underwear as he caressed her and drew her more tightly against his groin.
Whimpering at the feel of his arousal against her abdomen, she curled her leg around his hips. The need to get closer was like a thirst that couldn’t be quenched. “Tristan,” she sighed. “Please…”
Pulling herself out of her reverie, she pummelled the quilt in frustration and firmly shut the door on the memories of that night. To go further into the sweet ecstasy was only torturing herself . It would lead to nothing but a hot feeling and a sleepless night! Turning off the light she stared at the ceiling and painfully waited for sleep to come.
