She could kiss him for days.
Carter reached between them and guided his erection between her legs. Tess opened for him as anticipation coiled in her stomach. She waited for the sudden thrust, but instead, Carter eased inside of her, an act that seemed to cause him as much pleasure as it did pain. Tess knew exactly how he felt. The luxurious glide of his cock as he entered her stretched her inner walls until she felt the slightest pinch. She drew in a gasp of breath and Carter soothed her with gentle kisses as he pulled out slowly and slid back in.
Carter settled more fully on top of her, careful to keep the bulk of his weight supported on his propped arm beside her. Tess looked up to find his gaze locked with hers and the familiar swarm of butterflies took flight once again. Broad daylight, in the middle of the living room, and she was experiencing one of the most erotic and intimate moments of her life with a man who was little more than a stranger.
He didnât fuck her like they were strangers, though.
The slow precision of his thrusts was an erotic torture. He pulled out and drove home as though he wanted her to feel every long, hard inch of him. She tried to thrust up to meet him, to somehow increase his pace, but Carter wouldnât let her. His free hand went around her hip to still her.
Tessâs breath came in sharp gasps as he continued with his unhurried pace. He rode her like waves lapping at the shore, pressing as far as he could go before a lazy retreat. Sensation fired along Tessâs nerve endings. Her inner walls clenched around him and her nipples pearled as his chest brushed the sensitive peaks. She wrapped one leg around his thigh to angle her hip slightly up. Tess drew in a sharp breath as he hit some sensitive spot deep inside of her and her back arched up from the floor.
âDoes that feel good?â The husky timbre of Carterâs voice sent a zing through Tessâs blood stream.
âIt does,â she said, a little too breathy. âI canât believe how good it feels.â Carterâs arrogant smile proved that he was pleased with her response. âIt would feel even better if you went a little faster,â she added.
His smile widened. âNice try.â He thrust as deep as he could go and stilled. Tessâs pussy clenched around him and she let out a low moan. After a moment he pulled out slowly to the tip and stilled. âDo you still think fast is better?â One wicked brow arched over his gorgeous eyes.
âNo,â she replied on a breath. âDo that again.â
He obliged, inch by torturous inch until Tess was practically panting. He drove hard and deep at the end and stilled once again. The slow precision with which he fucked her was maddening. Delicious and oh-so-good, but the slow build was almost more than her body could handle. When she finally came, she was certain it would completely shatter her.
âYouâre driving me crazy, Carter.â Tess didnât know how much more she could take. She gripped his shoulders and arched up to meet him. With her heel against the back of his thigh, she urged him down and angled her hips to allow him to penetrate her deeper.
âGood.â He was all too pleased with himself, too in control.
Tess could barely restrain herself. The need for release built with every slow thrust until her body pulsed with a deep, searing heat. âI need to come,â she panted.
âNot yet.â Carterâs voice strained with the command. At least she wasnât the only one who needed an orgasm more than air.
If she thought she could get away with it, Tess would have rolled him over and gone to town. The way he fucked her gave her new insight into Carterâs personality, though. He was a man who performed best when a situation was completely within his control. She wasnât about to complain. Carter Christensen was the best sheâd ever had.
Tess hooked her other knee around his
