Free Healing Fire by Angela Castle

her off her feet. She hooked her arms around his neck. Burrowing her
nose into his neck, she licked at his salty skin. Oh goodness, he tasted good.
She licked again; he gave a deep needy groan.
     
    "By the twin moons woman, what
you do to me."
     
    She almost laughed as he set her on
the bed, her feet hanging over the side. Quickly he closed the door. She
tracked the movement of his fingers as he grabbed at the hem of his shirt and peeled
it off, revealing all the hard muscles and delicious, caramel skin. She giggled
at the sight of the fairy band aids. He paused to lean back against the door
while he tugged off his boots, leaving him in nothing but the dark leather
pants he always wore. It wasn't hard to miss the large straining bulge at the
front of his pants.
     
    Again she licked her lips, wondering
how one man could ooze so much raw sexuality. His dark eyes smoldered as he
held her gaze. Her clothes suddenly felt restrictive and hot; her fingers
trembled as she reached for the hem of her own top.
     
    In two steps he stood before her. Sinking
to his knees, he brushed aside her hands and took over. He lifted off her top,
tossing it carelessly over his shoulder.   The edge of his fingers grazed her stomach along the top of her pants.
Warm hands explored her waist front to back before tunneling up to trace her
spine to the clasp of her bra.
     
    "I may need some help with this."
     
    She inhaled and arched her back as his
magical touch sent shivers of delight dancing through her body. The rough
callused pads of his fingers were surprisingly gentle against her sensitized
skin.
     
    Her chest heaved, making her breasts
move in her simple white satin bra.
     
    "There are two small clasps at
the back." She leaned in closer. Her hands itched to touch him.
     
    Heat pierced her fingertips as they
climbed the smooth muscles of his six-pack. Oh god, he felt so good to touch.
     
    Along the top of her shoulder running
down the side of her arm, he saw the first of her scars. He leaned forward
kissing from the tip of her scar down her arm.
     
    Goosebumps broke out over her skin,
the hotter she grew. She moaned softy at his reverent exploration.
     
    Fire swept across her body when the
silky touch of his lips dipped along the edges of her bra. Damn. Her nipples
thrust up against the confines, and all she could think about was getting naked
and enjoying this hulk of a man.
     
    "Stand up." He pulled her
hips forward off the bed and she eased to her feet. He grabbed the fabric of
her pants and slid them down.
     
    She
gasped, realizing he'd taken her panties down along with them.
     
    They pooled around her legs. He set
her back on the bed and removed her pants and shoes, shoving them aside.
     
    His hand on her knee made her jerk as
she glanced down to find him studying the hideous criss-cross of white and red
scars from her knee up to along the side of her leg.
     
    "I was pinned in the seat for
hours, they had to cut me out of the car. It then caught on fire…"
     
    He bent and kissed her knee. "There
is nothing here I do not adore. You are more beauty than one man deserves. I
burn for my Summer, my protected."
     
    He straightened and pushed her thighs
wide, knowing he now gazed upon the evidence of her lust.
     
    Gently he cupped her face, gazing in
to her eyes with concern. "Are you alright? Does your leg hurt?"
     
    "No, I'm fine, really. I can't
bend my knee too far back though."
     
    He ran his hand up to cup her right
breast through the fabric of the bra. "You will tell me if it hurts, or if
anything I do brings you pain?" He smiled, his head dipping to steal a
woefully brief kiss. "I only want to bring you pleasure. I will go slowly."
     
    Slow was going to kill her. Summer
shook her head. "I want you, like I've never wanted anyone before. Please
touch me, kiss me, and make me yours."  
     
    His eyes sparkled with desire. The
lines around his mouth softened into a warm sexy smile. God, did he have any
idea how gorgeous he
