morning.” He touched a finger to her lips. Let’s not waste a moment of our time together.”
Powerless to resist, she nodded. Beau brought her to his room. Its dark wooden beams, Native American tapestries and stone floor paid tribute to the west. Beau lit a fire in the stone fireplace.
She sat on a loveseat near the fire. She couldn’t wait to touch Beau again yet a deep sadness filled her because this would have to be the last time. H er life was in New York.
“I can see the wheels in your head turning. What’s on your mind?” He sat next to her and pulled her into his strong embrace.
“Nothing. I was just thinking how much I like your bedroom . The whole house.”
He shook his head. “ Thank you, but I don’ t believe that’s what’s got your brow furrowed.” He pressed a finger to her forehead.
She didn’t want to dwell on what couldn’t be so she kissed him then looked into his smoky eyes and told him how much she wanted him.
And he returned the sentiment with a slow, tasting kiss. Passion elevated her awareness .
Beau slipped his hand under her shirt to cup her breast. Need quickened her blood. He rolled her erect nipple between his fingers and took her arousal to the next level.
She lifted her top over her head then stood and shimmied out of her shorts. Beau’s heated gaze swept over her and there was no mistaking the look of appreciation in his eyes. Electricity crackled in the air between them.
She climbed onto his lap facing him and moved her pelvis against the bulge in his pants .
Beau pushed his jeans down and off, then his boxers. Then he shucked off his t-shirt. His skin smelled of his pine cologne and pure man. She ran her hands over the sinewy muscle and felt his quiver.
He caught her breast in his hand and massaged and kneaded. She wanted him so badly that her whole body quivered with lust.
Beau lifted her up and carried her to the soft rug by the fireplace. He laid her down and propped h imself on one elbow beside her. He leaned his head to her breast and licked the tingling peak .
Liquid heat stole through her. She let out a desperate whimper.
Beau moved between her legs and touched his finger to her entrance. She bucked with longing. He spread her legs wider then blew on her mound. Then his tongue was there, in her most private spot, licking her feminine folds .
She fisted her hands in his hair as he drove his tongue deeper. Long possessive fingers skillfully touched her, gently rubbed her clit until she detonated in bliss.
Without waiting for her to recover, he pushed his erection between her thighs and slipped inside her.
They moved together, in a rhythm as old as time, as if they’d been making love all their lives. When she felt her climax approach, she saw the signs on Beau’s face but he seemed to be hanging on to his control.
He held her close and turned her over so she was now on top. She was so close. She rolled her hips as she splayed her hands over the hard ridges of his abdomen. When her orgasm neared she threw her head back and let out an unbridled scream.
Beau held her hips to control her movement. He thrust into her hard and fast, ratcheting up her pleasure as he took his.
They locked their gazes at they shared the ecstasy. It was hands down the single most sensuous moment of her life.
After they recovered, Eve lay in his arms, content and warm. “I wish you could come back to New York in my suitcase. ”
“This is where I belong, Eve. Will you consider staying for a while?”
She thought about her bills and her apartment and her job. “I can’t. I have a life in New York.”
“You could have a life here, with me.”
How could she tell him that she’d only screw it up? That she’d failed every time she’d tried to build something with a man? Beau would shake his head, say her luck had changed. “Maybe we can visit each other. You know, every few months or so.”
He propped himself up on one elbow and stared into her eyes, raking his fingers through her hair. “Why
