“It’s yours to touch whenever and however you wish.” He and his brothers worked hard at keeping in shape, and at this moment, he was never gladder for that.
“So, it’s okay if I do this?” She flicked his nipple with her fingernail.
He groaned. “Oh, yeah. Do it again.” She did, and pure pleasure shot down to his groin. Her dress was pooled at her feet, and he leaned back, wanting to see her. His gaze slid down to the white bikini panties, the only thing she wore now. “You’re beautiful.” Her breasts were a little larger and her hips a bit wider than they’d been the first time they’d been together. Before, she’d had the body of a girl, but now, she was all woman, and sexy as hell.
“I’ve had a baby, so I’m not—”
“Do not finish that sentence. You’re ten times sexier than you were back then.”
“I have stretch marks.”
She did, and he traced one of the barely visible white lines. “Because you had our baby, and each mark is a testament to your courage to go it alone and the love you had for that baby growing inside you.” He traced another line. “Your beauty is stunning, Kendall. Thank you for being the mother of my child…our child.”
“There was never any question that I wouldn’t have her.”
“And for that you have my eternal gratitude.” He wanted to tell her that he was falling for her, but he was afraid that would scare her away. He’d just have to show her that his feelings for her already ran deep. “If you knew how badly I want you, you’d probably run away.”
A small smile played on her lips. “The last time a man wanted me that badly was five years ago. I was sure that kind of intense intimacy would never happen again, so I fiercely guarded my memories of that night.” She fumbled with the button of his jeans. “I want these off.”
“Don’t know if I’m up to the pressure of living up to those memories if they were that good,” he teased.
She lifted her eyes to his. “One hopes you’re up to the challenge.”
“Trust me, baby, I’m up.” He glanced down at the tent in his pants. “Way up.”
“So I see.” She got his jeans unsnapped, then went to work on his zipper. She grinned triumphantly as she finally undid his jeans, pulling them down along with his boxer briefs. He stepped out of them, his erection standing at full attention, and she reached out and touched him. Her fingers wrapped around him, stroking gently as she looked up at him with eyes darkened with desire.
He was so turned on that it wasn’t going to take much to send him over the edge. He took her hand away. “I’m about to embarrass myself. You can play with me all you want later.” Helifted her up and gently laid her down on his bed, then stretched out next to her on his side. “I get to play with you first.”
His hands traced the curves of her body, exploring every inch of her skin that he could reach. He found her nipples hard and erect, and he gently caressed them with his fingertips before taking one into his mouth. She moaned softly, her fingers running through his hair as he kissed and licked at her sensitive flesh. He’d thought he remembered everything about their night together, but he’d forgotten how responsive she was.
He moved farther down her body, his hands sliding over her hips and thighs as he kissed his way down to her stomach, then to the top of her panties. “These are pretty,” he said as he slid his finger just inside the waistband. “But they need to go.”
She lifted onto her elbows and looked down at herself. “Take them off.”
“Happy to.” His gaze never left hers as he slowly slid them down her legs. When they were finally gone, he ran his hands up and down the length of her thighs, tracing the soft skin with his fingertips.
“Cooper.”
“Yeah?”
“Do something. Anything.”
He chuckled. “Impatient little thing.” He could feel her tremble slightly under his touch, and he rubbed his nose over her skin below her belly button. The scent of her arousal filled the air, driving him toward the edge of his control.
With his tongue, he began to explore, licking and tasting every inch of her sex. Her taste sent waves of pleasure through him, and she made sexy little noises with each flick of his tongue. Her breaths grew shallower, each one a small gasp that spurred him on. He wanted…needed to hear his name on her lips.
Her hands gripped his hair. “I need…”
“What, Kendall? What do you need?”
“To come. Please.”
He lifted his face a few inches. “Say my name, and I’ll make it happen.”
“Cooper. Cooper. Cooper.” She pushed on his head in an effort to get his mouth back on her.
He blew on her clit, then as he sucked on it, he slid a finger inside her, and then a second one. She was drenched, and her core muscles clenched around his fingers. Her breaths were coming faster now, her moans growing louder and more desperate.
