Chuckling, he quickly removed his briefs, but before she had a chance to peruse the goods, he scooped her up and carried her to the bed. They flopped down on it, and he immediately claimed her lips, tugging the bottom one between his.

“I can’t get enough of you,” he said in between kisses.

She was glad she wasn’t the only one, but she hesitated to say so. She still needed to keep her emotions in check lest she get carried away.

He buried his face in her neck, nibbling and kissing, his evening stubble lightly scraping her sensitive skin. Then he ran his tongue down the middle of her chest, and her hips arched off the bed.

Popping his head up, he said, “Tell me what you need.”

She still wasn’t used to all this sex talk. “You,” she said, thinking that would suffice.

“Specifically,” he prompted.

Looking directly into his eyes, she had a moment of clarity. She was safe with him, and she could trust him. He wasn’t just playing a game; he truly wanted to please her. Pushing past her discomfort, she said, “Kiss my breasts.”

He beamed at her, looking almost proud. “My pleasure.” He dipped his head and kissed a circle around her right breast. Then he popped his head up again. “Now what?”

Seeing that her talking turned him on gave her the courage to continue. “Suck on my nipple.”

He growled and then tugged her nipple deep into his mouth. After nipping and licking her into a frenzy, he glanced up again.

This time, she didn’t hesitate. “Do the same to my other breast.”

He gazed at her, his eyes sparking with desire and fanning the flames that burned within her. After thoroughly fondling her other breast, he looked up again, awaiting further instructions. All this teasing and talking had her center dripping wet and aching for his touch.

“I need you inside me,” she said, her voice unnaturally raspy. “Now.”

The next thing she knew, he’d rolled on a condom and was crawling over her, but she nudged him onto his back.

“Oh, yeah,” he said as she kneeled over his pelvis.

She was like a woman possessed. She barely recognized herself as she was overtaken with a need so strong it threatened to topple her. Taking his erection in one hand, she guided it to her entrance and swiped it over herself a few times.

“Maddie…”

She inserted the tip of him and said, “Yes?”

“Want you so bad…”

She lowered herself down some and paused, stretching to accommodate him.

“Sexiest woman ever,” he growled.

He gripped her hips as she wriggled around to take the rest of him. Once he was fully rooted, she met his gaze, and what she saw there knocked her sideways. He was looking at her with a combination of awe, tenderness, and lust, a powerful cocktail that flooded her senses.

“Say something,” he urged.

This time, she almost spoke from her heart rather than her body, but she was afraid to reveal too much of herself. It had been hard enough to tell him what she wanted sexually, but emotionally…that seemed an even greater risk, one she wasn’t ready to take.

He sat up and wrapped his arms around her waist, his face just an inch from hers.

“I’ve never felt like this before,” he said. “I’m crazy about you.”

“Cody…”

Suddenly they were rocking against each other, their bodies taking over and temporarily preventing her from speaking. She twined her arms around his neck, and he used his hands to guide her hips up and down on his shaft.

She moaned as the friction intensified and his manhood struck her most intimate spot in the most delicious way. He captured her lips in a demanding kiss as she rode him at a fevered pace. He tightened his grip on her while his hips thrust forward, and his chest hairs tickled her nipples.
