would do anything to illicit
that sound from her. That hum of pure bliss let him know she was here with him,
in this moment, and that he’d been able to banish the ghosts from her past, at
least for a little while.
    He nibbled a moist trail up
the side of her neck as he slipped his hand inside the waistband of her panties
and nudged her legs apart with his knee. “Just relax,” he whispered in her ear.
He knew she was getting there, but he could still feel the tension in her
shoulders as his tongue moved down the slope of her collarbone.
    “I’m trying.” She reached
around to wrap her arms around his neck from behind. “Mmm… I have to admit, you
make it pretty easy.”
    He smiled against her skin.
He wanted to know that he had the power to manipulate her body and her mood
with little more than a soft caress. “I love the way you smell…” It was a
subtle, spicy fragrance. Not overpowering. In fact, it was so subtle, he would
have to be this close to even be aware of it. “The way you taste…” He knew he
couldn’t wait much longer to taste her intimately.
    She moved her hips slightly
as he slipped a finger inside her tight channel. She let her hands fall to her
sides as she spread her legs further apart. “Tucker… I…”
    The sound of his name on her
lips when she was on the verge of coming was almost more than Tucker could
stand in his state. He wanted this to last, to show her how good it could be
when she gave herself to him completely, but he couldn’t remember the last time
he’d been this turned on. “That’s it, sweetheart, just let go for me.” He stroked
her nipple with his free hand, rolling the tip between his thumb and
forefinger.
    “Oh… right there…” She began
rolling her hips as he glided his finger back and forth over her distended nub.
She crossed one arm over her body to dig her trimmed nails into his bicep. “Oh
my God… Tuckerrrrr…”
    His name was almost a
mournful cry on her lips as he continued to stroke her while she rode out the
powerful climax. He didn’t say anything as he carefully withdrew his hand and
eased her back on the bed. There was so much more he wanted to do to her and
for her before he lost himself in her body, but he knew it would take some time
for her to recover, so he lay down beside her and pulled her into his arms.
    She reached for his hard
shaft, but he grabbed her wrist to halt the action.
    “Tucker, you need…”
    “Sssh…” He kissed her lips to
silence her. “Relax, I’m going to get what I need. Right now, this is about you
and what you want.”
    A tear slipped down her cheek
and fell on his chest. “I honestly didn’t think men like you existed.” She
chuckled. “You do realize you may become the standard by which I judge all
other men from now on, don’t you?”
    The arm he had wrapped around
her waist tightened. He didn’t want to think about her being with anyone else.
Shit, he was getting in deeper than he thought with this woman.
    She leaned up to look at him.
“What’s wrong? What did I say?”
    “Nothing.” He kissed the top
of her head. “I’m good.” He didn’t want to ask for more than she was prepared
to offer, but before she left his home, he intended to make sure she understood
he expected this to be the first of many nights they spent together.
    He leaned over to kiss her,
claiming her mouth in a kiss that expressed his intent more poignantly than he
ever could. His tongue stroked hers, heightening her arousal so they could move
on to the next phase. “You’re so beautiful,” he whispered, tearing his mouth
away from hers. Slow and steady had never been his mantra, but he knew it was
crucial for him to bank the fire raging inside of him tonight.
    She slid her hands into his
hair as he lowered his head.
    He licked her nipples slowly,
thoroughly, before rolling his tongue around the taut peak.
    “Oh my God, what are you
doing to me?” she whispered, tipping her head back. “I’ve already come
