took in the naked body in front of her. Lean and muscular. Tan with no lines. She made quick work of removing her clothes then scooted closer on her knees. “Your room distracted me. Now you have distracted me.” She licked a small circle on his chest.
Gage pulled her back by her hair. “You’ve been distracting me since the first moment I laid eyes on you. Now lie back.”
The urge to follow his command was strong but she needed something different this time. She hoped he understood. Marissa pressed a kiss into his chest. “Please let me do this, Gage.” She needed to feel in control. Since first arriving, she had felt like her life was spiraling around her and she was only a passenger.
His eyes softened, telling her he understood. “Okay, baby.”
She reached out and yanked him onto the bed. He let her lay him on his back then she straddled his waist. Marissa took her time kissing Gage’s lips, running her teeth over his neck and chin, before lavishing his chest with more kisses. Keeping his hands at his sides, he allowed her to explore his body. And what a body it was. She breathed in his scent. Rich, dark and male. She rubbed against him as she traveled down. She was getting his scent all over her and that was making her even hotter.
“Marissa.” Gage tried to pull her back up, moving his hands into her hair, but she continued to lower herself to the object she wanted most. His gorgeous, fully erect cock. Licking from the base up, she felt him let out a rush of breath. Then, with just the tip of her tongue, she teased the head.
“Marissa,” Gage hissed out, raising his head to look down at her.
Oh, she could definitely get used to this. She opened and took him into her mouth. Gage groaned and dropped his head back down. Adding her hand, she stroked and sucked him deeper into the back of her throat. He was salty and she loved it as his hips bucked to press him farther into her mouth.
“That’s it. Suck me, baby,” he murmured to her approvingly.
Marissa did. Tipping her head back, she took him as far as she could while sucking him hard.
“Stop,” he ordered.
She hummed and swallowed, trying to push him over the edge. To make him lose control like he seemed to manage with her.
“Stop!”
Marissa gave him one last lick before looking up. He stared down at her. His eyes glowed, showing just how close she had been to making him lose control and spill into her mouth.
“Come here,” he commanded.
She didn’t see any reason not to get what she wanted—him inside her.
She rubbed up him slowly, arousing both of them with the brush of her body on his. When she was straddling his thighs once more, he gripped her hips. Marissa took Gage’s hard cock in her hand and teased her pussy lips with it. Moaning, she continued to torment them both until he growled.
That sound traveled down her spine until she thought she might come before he even got in her. She took just the tip of him, biting her bottom lip, trying to control her need. Sliding down slowly so her body could adjust to his girth, she placed her palm on his chest. When he was fully inside, she rocked forward.
Gage moaned, or maybe it was her—she couldn’t tell anymore. He felt so good filling her. As if he was the only one who belonged there. Still gripping her, he began to thrust up to meet her every time she rocked. Marissa cried out, throwing her head back. She rode him faster as his hips lifted to meet her. Gage matched her speed, pulling her down harder each time.
“Yes.” Marissa leaned forward, her hair falling over both of them, making a curtain around them.
She was almost there. That sweet release was only a few strokes from taking her. They rocked in a rhythm that built in intensity, but it wasn’t enough.
Gage slipped an arm around her waist and she knew what was going to happen. When he flipped her onto her back, Marissa pleaded at him with her eyes to finish her off. He must have felt the need for more, too, because
