He unzipped her jeans and hooked his thumbs around her waistband and panties, pulling them down. She stepped out and vaguely heard the garments land on the floor. Then he knelt before her, sliding his large, warm hands up her thighs and around her buttocks. Every part of her he touched erupted in goosebumps, leaving her body trembling and yearning for more.

“I’ll touch you anywhere you want me to.” His eyes shimmered like those of a jungle cat about to feast, and she felt like willing prey. “Don’t ever be afraid to tell me what you like.”

Without her clothes on, there was nothing between her naked body and his but hot, steamy air. Her gaze dropped to the hard planes of Kyle’s chest and well-defined abdomen. As if reading her mind, he took her hand and placed it right where she wanted it to be. His skin was warm, taut, hard, and he shuddered when she began tracing his abdominal ridges with the tips of her fingers.

“I want this to be unforgettable for you.” He stood and began raining feather-light kisses on her neck while his hands skimmed across her back and shoulders. She sighed, arching into his kisses and giving him greater access to that ultra-sensitive spot just below her ear. The sound she heard next was purring, coming from her throat.

He pulled back and cupped the sides of her face. “I also want this to feel good for you. Will you let me get you ready?”

“Um, ready?” She was already completely naked. What more could he— Oh. Right. She’d all but said it had been a while for her, and he didn’t want to hurt her. She nodded. “Okay.”

Again, he knelt in front of her, this time sliding his hands to the delicate skin at her inner thighs. When he slipped one finger between her folds, she gasped and threw back her head. No one had ever touched her with such gentleness and reverence. She closed her eyes, gyrating against his hand to the rhythm of his thrusts.

“Do you like that?”

“Mmm,” she moaned. “Don’t stop.” If she died right now, she’d do so with a smile on her face.

“I won’t. Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you.”

With his tongue, he flicked at her tender, sensitive bud, then sucked it into his mouth. It didn’t take long before a muffled sound escaped her lips, and she cried out, calling his name as wave after wave shook her from head to toe with the sweetest orgasm she’d ever experienced.

When the aftershocks finally ceased, self-consciousness seeped in, and her face felt hot. “I never cried out during an orgasm before. I’m so embarrassed.”

He licked his lips, as if he were savoring the taste of her. “Trust me when I say you have nothing to be embarrassed about. You’re radiant when you come. This is the way it’s supposed to be. If it isn’t, then I’m not doing a good job.”

Without warning, he scooped her into his arms and laid her on the bed. She propped herself on her elbows, and as Kyle stepped out of his jeans and tight black briefs… Ohhh, was all she could think.

Powerful thigh muscles bunched, abs rippled, and biceps flexed in an erotic dance choreographed just for her. A smattering of dark chest hair arrowed down to what she now understood was the reason he’d wanted to get her ready.

He tossed his clothes aside, then climbed onto the bed and propped his forearms on either side of her head. His arms were like thick steel rods, imprisoning her in a cell she had no desire to escape from. She was on the verge of tumbling end-over-end down a steep incline, powerless to stop wherever he would take her.

He positioned his hips above hers and nudged her legs apart. Slowly, he applied pressure, inching inside her tight walls. Slick though she was from his fingers, lips, and tongue, she wasn’t accustomed to his size, and she hissed in a breath.

He stopped moving. “Did I hurt you?”

It had hurt but only for an instant. As quickly as the pain came, it was replaced by a sweet, incessant need.

“Dammit, I’m sorry. I should have gone slower. I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

His grim expression tore at her heart. She placed her fingertips over his mouth. “I know that. I’m fine.” She pushed her hips upward and whispered, “Finish what we started.”

He captured her mouth and kissed her. As his tongue thrust, so did he, slowly in, slowly out, allowing her body to continue adjusting to his. Each time he left her, she grasped his buttocks, pulling him back inside her body. This was heaven. The man she adored was making love to her like she’d always dreamed of.

“I want to watch you come.” His breath warmed her face. “I want to feel you come all around me.” His sexy words unleashed a throbbing drumbeat deep inside her, pounding harder and faster with every breath.

He slid his arms beneath her shoulders to hold her while he rocked into her. With each erotic slide of his body, the feel of him penetrating her soft, wet folds, nearly drove her over the edge. Too soon, and she didn’t want it to end yet.

Each powerful drive elicited little gasps of pleasure she couldn’t hold back. Spasms threatened to crack her wide open, and she nearly screamed. Shockwaves—powerful and sweet—rocketed through her like cannon fire. Unable to hold it in a moment longer, she cried out and arched against his slick chest. A second later, she felt his pulsing release.

Still buried deeply inside her, he rolled them onto their sides, tucking her tightly to him. Against her chest, his heart beat a steady rhythm. She closed her eyes and sighed, basking in the hazy glow of their lovemaking.

Fate had thrown them a beautiful, wonderful curveball. Never in a million years could she have imagined their paths would cross again and they would be together. Like this, and with the possibility of a future. Granted, it was much too soon to discuss, but she dared to hope.

From somewhere in the room, a cell phone rang. Kyle rolled away and bent over the edge of the mattress. “Yeah, Mike,” he said into the phone, then a few seconds later, “You’re kidding. In Chicago?”

Victoria curled her fingers around the edge of the comforter. Anything involving Chicago involved Yuri, and anything involving him couldn’t be good.

“I’ll come in.” He ended the call and turned to her. “I have to go to the office.”
