Free Stone Cold Charade (A Stone Family Novel) by Kathleen Royce

made a gruff
sound deep in his throat and dragged her hips closer to his. He had dreamt
about her mouth for so long it was heaven and hell to have it under his as he
taught her how to return his kiss.
    He was going up in flames, but he
couldn’t seem to control himself, wanting all of her in that moment. He knew he
couldn’t let things get out of hand, but he had to experience her just this
once. He had to know if she was as soft as he had dreamed. He slid his hands up
her rib cage feeling the under swell of her breasts through her blouse.
    His gentle touch was making her ache in
exquisite places. She had never in her wildest dreams thought it would feel
like this. She had always wondered what it would be like to have him kiss her.
She couldn’t believe it was really happening. The feel of his mouth on hers,
and his hands on her body, was causing her breasts to ache with a sweet pain.
Breaking the kiss to catch his breath, he leaned his forehead against hers and
looked into her desire glazed eyes.
    “I know what you need, and I know you
can tell how aroused I am, but I’m not going to hurt you little one. I just
want to share a little loving with you. I won’t let things get out of hand,” he
whispered softly to her.
    She watched his lips move, and didn’t
understand what he meant until he moved his hands under her blouse. He studied
her eyes to gauge her reaction to this new intimacy they were sharing. She was
astonished by the emotions rising through her body because of the way he was
touching her. She knew she could trust him with her body and her heart.
    “Just relax baby let me touch you,” he
said coaxingly.
    When she didn’t protest, he skimmed his
hand over her tender breasts, barely touching her to allow her time to adjust
to his caresses. Her eyes closed in pleasure, her head falling back on her neck
as if she did not have the strength to hold it up any longer.
    Moving her bra out of his way so he
could reach her bare breasts, he said hungrily, “God, it’s so sweet.”
    Gripping the back of her head, he
brought her mouth under his again. His fingers grazed the hard tips of her
breasts. He heard her whimper as she twisted her upper body trying to draw his
whole hand over her breast.
    When he finally took the weight of her
in his palm, Alex felt like her heart was going to explode. It was too much.
Her whole body was shaking from the force of her desire. Her fingers were
biting into his arms and she was shivering and making noises deep in her
throat, amazed at her own abandonment in his arms. Her body felt so alive! She
moved her hips, slanting them up to meet his. Trying to get closer to him, to appease
the hunger that gripped her for the first time in her young life, she clung to
him helplessly.
    He had barely touched her, and she was
quickly losing control. He knew he could take her right here and she wouldn’t
do anything to stop him, she was too far-gone. Anyone could walk in on them any
minute, but God she was sweet and uninhibited in his arms!
    She is so willing and
giving ,
he thought, and knew he had to call a halt. Breaking the kiss, he pulled Alex
into his arms holding and rocking her while she came down from her desire,
taking advantage of the time to steady his own heart rate.
    “Easy little one, it will pass. Just try
to relax. Breathe deeply honey,” he said softly.
    She heard what Ty said, but her brain
was finding it hard to understand why he had stopped. As her breathing started
to slow, she opened her eyes and was horrified when she realized where they
were. She was painfully aware of how close she had come to completely
surrendering to him. She tensed in his arms and tried to push out of his
embrace.
    He looked down at her confused face and
knew she was coming down from the desire that had been pulsating between them.
He could barely breathe, his gut still on fire. Groaning, he released her and
stocked away. Once he was safely across the room, he ran a frustrated and angry
hand
