If I thought I saw heat in his gaze before, now I see flames.
Logan steps forward and stills my hands when I go for the buttons. “I didn’t come here to fuck you, Banner.”
All my good intentions die a quick death.
“But I’m not letting you leave without fucking me either.”
His hands tense on mine. “Then I’m gonna have to make it unforgettable.”
My inner muscles clench at his drawled promise.
“This wasn’t my plan,” I tell him.
“Mine either, but now that you’ve started on those buttons, I want you to take it slow. I want to watch you unwrap every inch of that amazing body like the sweetest gift I’ve ever gotten.”
He releases his hold on my hands, but I want his touch back. Somewhere else. Anywhere else.
One night. If that’s all I’m going to get with Logan Brantley, then I’m going to make sure it stays with both of us for a lot longer.
Button by button, I undo my dress, letting the sides fall further open as each is freed. My plain black lingerie isn’t anything that’s going to bring a man to his knees, but Logan hasn’t even looked down at what I’m revealing. His gaze is locked on my face, like he’s waiting for something, and I’m strangely appreciative of it. It’s not until I’ve unhooked every single button that he finally sweeps his gaze downward.
His groan is the most gratifying sound I’ve ever heard.
“Sweet Jesus, you’ve got a body made for sin.”
I let the dress fall to my feet as his big hand slides into my hair to wrap around the base of my neck.
“How much do you trust me, Banner?” His words are quiet and low, sending goose bumps rising across my skin.
“What do you mean?”
“I’m the kind of man who likes what he likes and doesn’t have a problem taking the reins. You strike me as a woman who might have a problem with that.”
Heat flares between my legs.
“I don’t like being told what to do unless I’m naked,” I whisper. I’m pretty sure I have a T-shirt that says it too.
“Then I’m going to give us both what we want.” His grip on my neck tightens, and I squeeze my thighs together in anticipation.
Tonight just might kill me. But it’ll be worth it.
“Give me everything.”
His eyes flash again, just before he lowers his lips to mine. My hands find their way to his shoulders, where I hold on as the kiss weakens my knees.
A strong arm slides under my ass to lift me higher and press me against his body. There’s no give when solid muscle meets my curves, and I adjust my grip for a better hold. My legs snake around either side of his hips like I’m going to climb him—which isn’t far off my plans.
The kiss goes on for long minutes as his tongue sweeps inside my mouth. I lose myself in it until he finally pulls back, giving him an inch to drag his lips down my jaw. Logan lifts me higher to tongue my nipple through my bra and tug at it with his teeth.
Shafts of pleasure dive from my nipples straight to my clit as it pulses against his hard stomach. I arch toward him, seeking more pressure as he unleashes waves of pleasure with his teeth and lips and tongue on my nipples.
When he slows for a moment, I breathe out what I believe passes for words. “Don’t stop. Please. I’m so close.”
He shoves my bra up, baring me, and continues tugging my nipple between his teeth. I writhe harder against his belly, grinding down until a totally unexpected orgasm bursts inside me. My eyes slam shut as I let it roll through me.
Holy shit, did that just happen?
