Free The Rocker That Holds Me by Terri Anne Browning Page B

your teeth. I want to be sexy!”
    His nostrils flared and he turned away. Before I could even think about what he was doing he had locked the door behind him and was suddenly in front of me. “Stand up, Em.” When I didn’t move he took hold of my hands and pulled me to my feet. Gentle fingers lifted my chin, forcing me to meet that intense ice blue gaze of his. “Have I ever lied to you, baby girl?”
    Biting my lip I shook my head. Nik has always told me the truth. Maybe he ha d kept things from me, but he has never lied to me. Ever.
    “Then listen to me, because I don’t want to repeat myself, okay?” I nodded, captivated by the way he was looking down at me from his six foot three height. “You are the sexiest woman I have ever met. You don’t need more than a pair of ripped jeans, tattered shirt, and ragged underwear and I want to strip you with my teeth. Fuck girl, you make me hard just by being in the same room. If I smell your perfume, or whatever it is that you wear that makes you smell so amazing, I can’t walk straight.”
    I forgot how to breathe. All my brain power was focused on his lips as they formed those deeply, insanely endearing words. “If you want those things then we will get them. Tonight, tomorrow. Whenever you want. But don’t get them unless you want them, because I want you more now standing there in that too big shirt and those cutoff jeans than I ever would in some dress or lingerie.”
    “R-really?” My voice came out all breathy.
    “Really.” He traced the waist band of my jeans, making my head swim with desire. “So what do you want, Em? Want me to take you shopping?”
    “Yes.” Because I still didn’t feel sexy despite his words. My tongue licked my parched lips. “But…tomorrow.”
    “Tomorrow?” His voice lowered, took on that seductive quality I remembered from our stolen night together. “So our date is off?”
    I shook my head. “No, I just want to skip dinner and fast forward to the kiss goodnight.” And this time I wanted to bask in the fact that he really knew it was me that he was kissing. “And maybe see how talented you are at stripping me with those teeth of yours.”
    H e grinned predatorily, causing me to shiver deliciously. “I think I can oblige the lady.”
    --
    Alright, I will be the first one to say that having sex with Nik was not a smart idea. But damn if it wasn’t the best idea I have ever had. That man has talent, this I knew from our first night together. Man can use his tongue in a way that makes me beg for mercy.
    Our first night together had nothing on last night. Maybe it was because I didn’t have to feel guilty for taking advantage. Or having to hide how I really felt about him. Perhaps it was because this time he was sober and cried out my name when he came, instead of ‘baby’. Or maybe it was because afterwards, instead of passing out on me he instead turned me so that my back was against his chest and cuddled me until I fell asleep in his arms.
    Whatever the reason it was magical and I woke the next morning feeling like I could float. He was still pressed up against my back, with one hand cupping my breast and the other laying protectively over where our daughter grew in my belly. It was the perfect way to wake up and I wanted that every morning for the rest of my life.
    Warm lips caressed my neck. “Morning, baby.” He breathed at my ear. “How did you sleep?”
    “If I said that it was the best night’s sleep I’ve ever had would you believe me?”
    I felt his smile against my shoulder. “Yes, because it was one of the best night’s sleep I’ve ever had too.”
    I wasn’t exactly happy about his answer. Turning in his arms I grasped his chin and met his smiling eyes. “ One of the best?”
    He nodded. “Yep.”
    My green eyes narrowed. “What were the other ones?”
    He grinned. “Let me see…A few weeks ago when you crawled in beside of me on the bus. When you couldn’t sleep last year and spent the night
