Free Daring to Love: A Contemporary Romance (The Armstrongs Book 3) by Jessica Gray

become afraid of her own courage.
    When she knocked at his door, the last thing she expected to see was Evan opening the door, dressed only in a towel.
    "Charlene. What a nice surprise. Come in. I was just getting ready to do some powder skiing for fun."
    She gave him a full glance over. She couldn’t help but notice his broad chest with all those corded muscles. Her eyes wandered down his body to his slender waist, the white towel that barely covered his center and up again to his broad shoulders. Her hunger for him grew even more when she spotted the multi-colored tattoo on one of biceps.
    He caught her staring at him and she turned deep red in her embarrassment when he asked, "Like what you see?"
    What should she answer ? Suddenly she forgot why she’d come here. She’d forgotten how to talk, and her dry mouth only allowed a murmur, "hum… I am…"
    With an iceberg melting smile he grabbed her into a hug and kissed her sensuously, sending her world spinning. Charlene was completely absorbed in the kiss and barely noticed how he dragged her inside and kicked the door closed with his foot. She responded to every movement of his lips on hers with a feverish passion. Never wanting to part from him again.
    She inhaled the smell of his ocean fresh shower gel mixed with the exhilarating scent of him. Her already mushy brain refused to process further thoughts, and stopped caring about why she’d come here in the first place. Now the only thing that mattered was him.
    Her hands travelled down his back, reeling in the feel of his muscles twitching under her touch. Further down to the small of his back just above the towel, fondling the smooth skin, the hard muscles, gliding further down to his glorious ass. That wonderful ass, that had made her drool from the very first moment when she’d seen him.
    He took a jagged breath and while he hadn’t moved his hands before, he now uttered “Dammit!", grabbed her tightly and pressed her against his hard body. She felt the shudder that ran across his body and heard his whisper in her ear with a tone that shot pulses of lust up her thighs, "You make me crazy, Charlene. I wanted to wine and dine you but you're making it awfully difficult for me."
    She answered with the breath caught in her lungs, "Wine and dine me later, make love to me now!”

    Evan happily complied. He had wanted to wait and make their first time slow and soft but as she pressed her willing body against his, he realized slow had to wait. He backed her up against the wall and feverishly ripped her clothes off her body. His towel had long slipped away and Charlene was too busy caressing him to help him take her clothes off.
    His hands curved around her butt, grinding her hips against his hardness. She was caged between him and the wall. And he felt like a volcano ready to erupt, when she wrapped her arms and legs around him, swallowing back her moan of pleasure when he let his mouth trail down the sides of her neck to play at the upper swells of her breasts.
    Only the thin silky layer of her g-string separated them and he could feel how hot and wet she was. That was too much for his self-control. He ripped her panty into pieces and shoved her against the wall. She shrieked. Instantly a wave of guilt cooled him down. How could he be so rough to her?  She was such a sweet person and deserved so much more than just wild sex.
    He murmured into her ear "I'm sorry darling. I don’t want to hurt you. We should take it slow."
    But Charlene pressed herself even harder against him and pushed her breast into his mouth while she said, "Don't be sorry. Fuck me. Hard and Wild."
    Her words ratcheted up his pulse and heat pumped through him. He couldn't remember ever being as aroused. Her intense desire for him multiplied his own desire to a never experienced level.
    He suckled and bit her luscious breasts, her sexy little shrieks driving him to suckle harder until her nipples where taut and swollen. When he released her left
