Free ASHFORD (Gray Wolf Security #5) by Glenna Sinclair Page B

different. The memory of that night, of delivering Ford from her body, was one I would never forget. But this was also a moment I could not soon forget.
    She was beautiful. Her skin a warm, creamy almond, softened by the lotion I could still smell clinging to her. Her muscles feminine, but strong, her curves deliciously erotic. There were marks here and there, a piece of her past that she would never be allowed to forget. She moved this way and that, as though trying to hide them from me, but I saw them. They simply didn’t matter to me. They simply showed me how strong she really was. I wanted to sit back and stare at her for a moment, but the need that I could no longer ignore was growing, threatening to reach uncontrollable proportions. I leaned over her and brushed the hair from her face as she watched me. The only things in her eyes were trust and a need that was nearly as desperate as my own.
    “Are you sure?” I asked.
    She cupped my jaw in her hand and reached up, brushing her lips against mine. I groaned, both relieved and scared out of my mind. I returned her kiss, encouraging her to open to me. She did. She opened without reservation, allowing me to invade her and touch her in all the places I’d dreamt of but never dared to believe I would one day possess.
    She reached between our bodies and pushed her hand under the waistband of my shorts. She slid her hand inside, brushing her fingers against me, against the ache that so desperately needed this. As much as I wanted her touch, as much as I wanted to feel her tiny hand wrapped around my cock, I knew I would never survive if she gave that to me. I reached down and tugged at her wrist, making her wait for me.
    She moaned against my mouth when I freed myself, when I pressed the moist head of my cock against her equally moist cunt. She opened her legs wide, nibbling on my bottom lip as I slowly pushed against her. When my head slipped inside, she lifted her hips and pressed herself against me. A moan like nothing I’d ever heard before slipped from between her lips, a mixture of pain and pleasure that was as primal as a human could possibly achieve. I pushed, and she lifted, and my head was spinning, my chest tight with the intensity of it all.
    She wrapped her legs around me and pulled me hard against her. When I began to move, she stayed with me, joining my rhythm without hesitation. I rolled my hips, she rolled hers. I thrust and she thrust. When I had to sit still, she rocked her hips, grinding her body against me, small moans telling me how good it felt for her, how much she wanted it.
    I’d never been with anyone who was so aware of her own body, so in possession of her own desires. It made it that much more difficult to control my own desire, knowing that she was getting so much out of what I was offering her.
    She ground her hips against me, and I lost control. I thrust hard and deep against her, driven by the increasing volume of her moans. I was a silent lover, not the type to voice my passion, but the closer I came to the end, the harder it was to bite back the growl that was burning in my throat.
    I didn’t lose control. But with her…

    I watched him laugh, watched the lines appear at the corner of his eyes, the amusement that lit up his gorgeous green eyes.
    “You honestly want me to believe that you lived in Austin all your life and you never went to the South by Southwest festival?”
    “Never.”
    “Oh, you’re missing out, my friend.”
    “Friend?” He smeared a little whip cream on the tip of my nose. “I think we’ve moved beyond the whole friend-zone thing, don’t you?”
    “Maybe,” I said, tilting my head as if I was thinking about it.
    He groaned, nearly knocking over the tray of strawberries and peach slices that we’d been sharing as he reached for me. I hadn’t needed to lunge. I was more than willing to climb onto his lap…the way I’d done earlier. I was more than happy to feel those huge,
