Free Body Shots by Anne Rainey Page A

apart, not bothering to wait for her to open them in her own time. He took possession of the soft interior in a way that had her shaking body swaying forward against his rock-hard length, and her arms coming up to wrap around his neck.
    Crystal sank against the kiss, giving in to the sweet demands her feminine core was suddenly making on her. Dear Lord, she didn’t want to think about her next move. She wanted Trent to take the choice from her altogether. And he seemed all too happy to do so.
    He sucked at her lower lip and probed her mouth with his insistent tongue. Apparently not content to leave it there, he deftly bent low and flung her high into his arms, carrying her over to the bed as if she were nothing more than a child. He laid her down on top of the soft, downy blankets with such gentle care that Crystal felt herself melting inside. That such a big man could be so tender was a major oh my in her book. He lay down next to her and propped his head up on his elbow, staring down at her with such reverence it shook her.
    â€œWhy are you looking at me that way?”
    â€œHow am I looking at you?”
    She locked eyes with him, her jaw firming as she tried to put into words the way his eyes seemed to see right into her soul. “You stare at me and it’s as if you can see my every thought. It’s disconcerting.”
    â€œI can’t help but admire a beautiful creature when I see one.”
    She squirmed, turning even redder. “See, there you go again, making me all nervous and jittery.”
    He frowned down at her, as if truly bewildered by her words and actions. “Why don’t you know your own worth? From the moment I saw you, I knew I’d not be able to deny my desire for you. You sat at the bar, so alluring and kissable, and my body spun out of control. When your sexy eyes landed on me, it was all I could do to bide my time until I could be alone with you.”
    All at once, he was there again, taking his lips on a sensual journey over her own. Her cheeks were teased and tantalized by his clever mouth. He caressed his way down her neck, wringing a groan from her. Crystal happily surrendered.

    T rent had had his fair share of women. Exotic beauties who’d left him gasping and willing to please and be pleased. But there was something about the little brunette; she had tugged at some unfamiliar part of him that he could not quite identify.
    She had a vulnerability that called to the masculine predator in him, as if taunting him to swoop down and snatch her up.
    The instant she had walked into his nightclub, he had been taken with her. Her shiny brown hair drew his fingers to touch it, and her body had been like a breath of fresh air. All smooth curves, she was built for a man to caress and play with.
    Trent had never been drawn to women who were pencil-thin. He liked something to unveil. Something to make his time worthwhile. And Crystal was surely worthwhile. Her body practically screamed at him. She was hungry, and he had scented her arousal as easily as if she had uncorked a bottle. She seemed to only have eyes for him and Trent felt unaccountably pleased.
    Now he had her, and he was loath to let her go anytime soon. He knew that she’d wanted a single night with him and Mac. No strings and no recriminations. He’d seen her willful thoughts in the expressive features of her beautiful face. Asking her to accompany him to dinner with his family had given him a chance to see her again. The fact that she’d arrived early pleased the hell out of him.
    Using one hand, Trent began unbuttoning the front of her blouse. He looked into her anxious eyes and said, “You look amazing tonight, but I’m impatient to see your sweet body.” He lowered his face to within a breath of her lips. “Completely nude, Crystal,” he explained.
