her hips and the roundness of her ass. Her knees slowly parted and Carter swallowed against the dryness in his throat as she revealed the short nest of curls and the glistening pink flesh of her pussy to him, totally unabashed.
âHoly shit, Tess,â he said on a breath. He scrubbed a hand over his mouth before pushing off of the couch and going to his knees before her.
He took her face in his hands and kissed her hard. His tongue pushed against the seam of her lips and Tessâs mouth opened as she tilted her head to allow him to deepen the kiss. Swept up in a frenzy of passion, their kisses grew desperate. Tongues thrust, teeth nipped. Carter took Tessâs full bottom lip into his mouth and sucked. In a tangle of limbs, he took her down to the floor and settled between her thighs. His shaft slid along her hot, slick pussy and he groaned.
âYouâre so wet, Tess,â he murmured against her mouth.
âI want you,â she said. âI want you so badly I canât wait another second for you to fuck me.â
Her desperate words caused his cock to throb hot and hard as though he hadnât come just seconds before. Carter reached up and groped along the cushions of the couch for the condom packets. He ripped one from the string of three and tore it open while he continued to kiss Tess. He tasted himself on her lips and the memory of what sheâd done, howâd sheâd taken him deeper into her mouth when he came, only made him want her more.
âGive it to me,â Tess said between panted breaths. She kissed him again, and he handed over the packet before he cupped the back of her neck with one palm.
Carter braced himself up with his other hand as she gripped him and rolled the condom over his erection. He swallowed down a moan as a shiver raced down his spine.
âNow, Carter.â The words were a desperate plea. âI need you.â
It had been so long since anyone had needed him in this way. It felt damned good. Carter shook with barely leashed restraint. He leaned down and kissed Tess again. This time, slowly. He played with her mouth, savored it. Explored her full lips, her tongue. He was going to fuck her like he kissed her. Slowly. Thoroughly. Until they were both so completely sated that they could barely move. He wanted Tess to know through his actions that these moments between them werenât something he took lightly.
He kissed her until she was breathless. Her chest rose and fell with quick pants and ended on tight little moans that vibrated over his skin. He released his grip on the back of her neck and smoothed her hair away from her face. âYouâre so beautiful, Tess.â
Her eyes shone with tender emotion that speared Carterâs chest. As much as heâd tried to convince himself that he could be with Tessâremain emotionally detachedâhe knew that heâd be changed after today. Whether that was a good thing or a bad thing was yet to be seen, but there was no turning back.
He wanted her, consequences be damned.

Tess was wound as tight as a spring. Sheâd never found going down on a guy particularly sexy. More times than not, it had always felt like a chore. But Carterâs response, the way his body trembled, the guttural sounds he made, the way his thighs caged her in, was unlike anything Tess had ever experienced. And then, his gentle warning that gave her the opportunity to stop if sheâd wanted, had only sent her into a tailspin of want and desire that burned like a solar flare inside of her. Sheâd taken him as deeply into her mouth as she could, and when heâd comeâ dear lord âthe sensation of each powerful jet hitting the back of her throat was the most erotic thing Tess had ever experienced in her entire life.
âYouâre so beautiful, Tess.â
His softly spoken words caused her chest to swell with emotion. She came up on her elbows and kissed him.
