the stairs and to the closed door on the left. The knob squeaked a little as he turned it and let them into a large bedroom. She walked at his side, nerves making her suddenly feel jittery.
“Master bedroom,” he said as he flipped on a light switch, even though she knew what it was.
The low lighting was from a pair of lamps on nightstands to either side of a king-sized bed with a big brown and cream comforter. A dresser with a big vanity mirror was on one wall with a bureau on another wall. There was a TV inside an armoire that had drawers beneath it. To the far right was a door that obviously led into the master bathroom.
“I wish my house was half this neat.” It was the only thing she could think of to say. Her gaze met his. “I love your home.”
The next thing she knew, she was in his arms. “And I love having you in my home.” His voice was low, deep, and thrills rolled through her.
A part of her said she should turn and run. That this was too much, too soon. But another part of her wanted what he could give her. What they could share.
She closed her eyes and let him hold her close, their bodies snug together. She breathed in his scent, letting it fill her completely.
When she opened her eyes, her gaze met his. She slid her arms around his neck and pulled him closer until their lips met and she kissed him.
Chapter 4
The kiss was more powerful than the one Wayne had given her at the party. This one was filled with years of longing and need so intense that she didn’t know if she’d ever catch her breath.
Kaitlyn slid her hands into his hair, loving the soft strands slipping through her fingers and the feel of his scalp beneath her fingertips. She moved her hands down his neck and over his shoulders that were hard and muscular beneath her palms.
He kept her pressed up against him and she felt his erection against her belly. She ached between her thighs and she suddenly wanted her clothes off and to strip his away. She wanted to feel the heat of his naked skin against hers.
Their relationship had always been so sexually charged once they started having a physical relationship. They had matched each other in the depths of their desire and sexuality. She’d never felt anything with any man like she had with him. Not that her sexual experiences were extensive. She’d had all of three including Wayne and her ex.
Wayne kissed her even harder and she made soft sounds of want and need as she moved her hands down and explored his chest with her palms. He had held her by her waist but was now gripping her ass, pulling her impossibly closer to him. He raised her up and she wrapped her thighs around his hips and moved her arms around his neck again and he was carrying her to the bed.
The comforter was soft against her back and the mattress dipped beneath their combined weight as he rolled her onto her side so that they were facing each other. He kissed her then moved his lips to the corner of her mouth then moved them to her ear where he nipped her earlobe. She gasped with pleasure as it sent tingles through her body.
A part of her held back. She shouldn’t be here, shouldn’t be doing this. Not with all that was going on in her life… Not with all that had gone on.
But another part of her needed this. Needed to feel alive again. Needed to feel closeness to another person that she hadn’t experienced for a long, long time.
She let everything slip away and let herself fall into being with Wayne. Being with him completely for the night where she wouldn’t think of the past.
Not for tonight.
He moved his fingertips from the hollow of her throat, down to the curve of her breast and then cupped it in his big hand. He pinched her nipple and she caught her breath as pleasure shot through her.
