Free Love After Dark by Marie Force Page B

stroke of her hand was building in him. Beginning with her bare arm, he ran his fingertips over her soft skin, causing an outbreak of goose bumps that made him smile. Returning to her shoulder, he eased the strap of her tank down, kissing the length of her collarbone.
    She squirmed under him, pushing against his erection and nearly making him forget all about going slow. He wanted to strip her naked and lose himself in her warm sweetness right now.  
    “I’m having highly indecent thoughts, and all of them involve you,” he said.
    “Right there with you.”
    He tugged on her top. “Could we maybe take this off?”
    “Only if we take this off, too.” She smoothed her hands up his back and took his shirt with her.
    “Deal.” He lifted her tank up and over her head and was shocked to discover she was bare beneath it. “Hope… You’re so beautiful.”
    She pulled on his shirt, and he helped her remove it, then rolled to his side, bringing her with him.  
    He could think of no way to adequately describe the thrill that traveled through him when her breasts pressed against his chest. Recapturing her lips, he kissed her again, more intently this time around, his tongue exploring every sweet corner of her mouth.
    Hope squirmed in his arms, trying to get closer, or so it seemed to him. “This is crazy,” she whispered between kisses. “We shouldn’t be doing this.”
    “Why not?” He cupped her breast and teased her nipple with his thumb until it was hard and tight.  
    “I, um… There’s a reason we shouldn’t, but I can’t think of it when you’re doing that.”
    “How about when I do this?” He eased her onto her back and took the same nipple into his mouth, running his tongue back and forth over the tip before sucking on it.  
    She grabbed a handful of his hair and held on so tightly that he winced from the pleasurable pain. Her legs shifted restlessly, so he grasped her thighs and pulled them up around his hips without letting up on her nipple. The heat of her arousal pressed against his cock, making him want so much more.
    He switched his attention to the other side, teasing her nipple with his tongue, lips and teeth as she arched rhythmically against him.  
    “Don’t stop,” she whispered in a tone he’d never heard from her before. It was needy and desperate and incredibly sexy.
    Paul pushed harder against her, torturing himself as he gave her what she wanted and needed.  
    And then she released a keening moan and tightened her legs around his hips.
    He wanted so badly to go with her, but he held back, giving her his full focus and attention, until she relaxed into the mattress, breathing hard.  
    “That,” she said, “has never happened before.”
    Inordinately pleased to know he’d given her a new experience, he teased her parted lips and fell into another passionate kiss.
    Her hands moved from his chest to his stomach and down to his shorts, which she unbuttoned and unzipped before his brain could catch up with what was happening.  
    “Hope…” His brain shut down completely when she wrapped her hand around his erection and began to stroke him.
    “Definitely shouldn’t be doing this.”
    “No, you should. You really should.”
    Her laughter made him smile, even as he tried to hold back the orgasm that had wanted out from the second her bare breasts touched his chest.  
    He closed his eyes and gave himself over to the incredible high of being with her this way. The heat of her hand and the pleasure of her gentle yet firm touch made for the perfect combination. Paul groaned as he came, his fingers digging into her hips to keep her close to him.
    She kissed him softly and sweetly.
    He opened his eyes to find her watching him. “I made a mess of you.”
    “I don’t mind.”
    “Let me get a towel. I’ll be right back.” He kissed her again and disentangled their limbs so he could get up, tugging his shorts back up as he went. The bathroom was across the hall, so he opened the
