Instead she let her gaze drop and rolled her shoulders, trying to ease the discomfort of her bra strap cutting into her skin.
“Do you, uh, want to get out of those clothes?” Antonin gestured to the chest of drawers in the room. “I can give you a t-shirt and some shorts.”
Did she want to get out of her clothes? God, did she ever!
But she didn’t want to put on new ones.
Her gaze lifted again and caught the red-hot lust clouding his eyes.
He wanted her too.
Antonin saw desire darken Ellie’s gaze and his own longing rose up to nearly choke him.
Gods, he wanted her. He’d wanted her from the first moment Justin had shown him the picture of her he carried in his wallet, even before he’d seen her in person.

Now, here, she wanted him too. And he was pretty sure it wasn’t due to the bassadone spell. She didn’t have that telltale glazed look in her eyes women usually got when he turned his full attention on them.
No, she simply looked at him as if she wanted him.
And that was its own aphrodisiac.
Antonin swallowed and let his eyes slide down her body. Her chest rose and fell in a faster rhythm. His own lungs expanded, trying to suck in more oxygen.
She lifted her arms and stripped her purple tank top over her head, leaving only her black bra. His mouth opened and he tried to say something, anything.
“Ellie…”
His feet moved him closer to the bed until he found himself standing next to her, close enough to touch. He reached out and eased his fingers through a few strands of her hair, soft and silky.
Sitting next to her, he kept his eyes on hers. When her mouth curved in a gentle smile, Antonin knew he’d just lost the battle.
He lowered his lips and sealed his mouth over hers.
Just one kiss. Just a taste and then he’d pull back. Cool down.
But her mouth was so warm and so pliant beneath his. She kissed him back as her hands settled on his shoulders, drawing him in, moving him closer until her breasts nestled against his chest. When she sighed, he released the inner leash he’d been holding on his lust.
His hands splayed across her back, soaking in the heat of her body for a few brief seconds before he reached for the clasp of her bra. The damn thing was tight, almost as tight as a corset, but with only three hooks. When it finally gave up the fight, Ellie pulled back, did some little shimmy with her upper body and the bra slid down her arms.

Her breasts spilled out, her pale coral nipples hard and pointed. Antonin bent to lick a path from the rounded side of her breast to the tip. Salty from her sweat, her taste twisted around his gut and yanked at his balls.
Covering her breasts with his hands, he kneaded the firm mounds as he watched her eyes. They fluttered closed and she moaned, the sound turning him on even more.
His cock tightened so hard he was afraid he’d come in his pants. And he definitely didn’t want to do that. He wanted to be buried deep between those gorgeous thighs when he came. Hopefully while she did the same.
Ellie let her head fall back as Antonin brought his mouth to her breasts again, nipping at the hard tips with his teeth. The sensation was sharp. Just the way she liked it. She wanted more, needed more.
Her hands reached for the hem of his t-shirt and slid beneath to find hot firm skin, silky smooth. She wanted to feel it against hers.
She yanked the shirt over his head, forcing him to release her breasts.
God, the man’s chest was a work of art. Lightly covered with dark hair, perfectly molded with muscle. His abs were a perfect six-pack, his stomach flat with a thin line of hair leading straight into the low waistband of his jeans.
Without thought, she reached for the top button and worked her way down to the last, her breath coming harder with each release. His hands tightened on her shoulders as she pushed the jeans and his cotton boxers down his legs, revealing his cock, ramrod straight and perfectly
