Free Stripped Bear by Kate Baxter

predatory glint shone in his eyes, and Leah’s heart beat a frantic rhythm in her chest. “What thoughts are running around in that pretty head?” He bent over her and kissed her instep, her ankle, her calf, and the underside of her knee. The inside of her thigh, her hip, across her stomach where he paused to dip his tongue in her bellybutton, and over her ribs. He kissed the swell of one breast, and then the other before kissing his way across her collarbone and up her throat. A shuddering breath left Leah’s lungs. Even the most innocent of touches from Cade drove her wild with desire.
    “I can’t make myself think of anything when you touch me like that,” Leah said on a breath.
    Low laughter rumbled in his chest. He brought his eyes to hers and a corner of his lips hinted at an arrogant smile. With his gaze still locked on hers, he took one nipple into his mouth and sucked. A rush of liquid heat spread between Leah’s thighs. A twinge of regret tugged at her chest as she thought of the lost years they’d left behind them. Leah refused to wallow in past regret, though. They had now . They had a future. And she wasn’t going to waste another second of her time with him.
    Leah gave herself over to sensation. The swirl of Cade’s tongue over her nipple, the light sting of his bite as he took it between his teeth. His skin burned against hers, almost feverish. Leah arched up as Cade rose above her and braced on an elbow to keep the bulk of his weight off her. When his mouth found hers, it was hungry, urgent. The desperation of his kisses ignited her blood as a haze of lust settled on her brain.
    A shock of heat met her core as the head of Cade’s cock slid against Leah’s clit. Her hips rolled to meet his in anticipation of the next thrust. He adopted an easy rhythm. Cade teased her as he continued to move without penetrating. Each stroke fired her nerve endings as he rubbed against her clit, not hard but with a silky glide that drove her wild. Leah spread her legs wide, opening herself fully to him. Cade groaned into her mouth as his tongue thrust against hers with every drive of his hips. He cupped her right breast, kneading the flesh before rolling her nipple.
    Pressure built low in Leah’s abdomen. Sensation tingled from the tips of her breasts, through her hips and inner thighs. Desire unfurled like a length of ribbon fluttering through her before pulling into a tight knot that pulsed like its own heartbeat. So close . God, she was so close. Tighter her insides coiled until Leah felt small, a tiny molecule in a vast galaxy. Her breath raced as it mingled with Cade’s. She dug her nails into his shoulders as she pressed herself as hard as she could against the rigid length of his erection. He continued his measured pace, sliding against her slick flesh, an innocent tease, and yet, it drove her to a state of mindless want. She broke their kiss as a moan escaped her lips. She ground against him, desperate to come.
    “Look at me, Leah,” Cade demanded. Her eyes fluttered open to find his gaze locked on hers, his expression bordering on pain. “I want you bare to me when you come.”
    Cade angled his hips and the head of his cock pressed against her clit with delicious pressure. Leah’s eyes wanted to close, all she wanted was to feel , but Cade’s command kept her gaze locked with his. He thrust again and Leah teetered on the edge. Her breath came in desperate pants that ended on whimpering cries. Another press of his hips, and the pressure built until she could no longer take another second of it. His body met hers again and she cried out. His fingers found her nipple and pinched.
    Leah’s world broke apart once again.
    The intimacy of the moment combined with the intensity of sensation caused tears to prick at Leah’s eyes. Any notion of her physical body evaporated under the pulsing waves of pleasure that built and crested before crashing into her. The turquoise depths of Cade’s irises swallowed her
