“You will.”
Oh, he was cocky, so sure of himself, so confident that she wanted him.
And damned if Gabriela didn’t find it hot. “I’ve been celibate for years. I’ve probably forgotten how to do this.”
“It looked to me just now like you remember the basics.” He kicked his socks and boots aside.
Her cheeks flamed.
“What do you say we end your celibacy right now?”
Andthatwas it.
“Stop talking and kiss me.” Gabriela’s heart raced, a kind of excitement she hadn’t felt for ages washing through her.
“Yes, ma’am.” He knelt beside the bed, cupped her face in his hands, his gaze meeting hers for a moment before he brushed her lips with his, once, twice.
She sucked in a quick breath, the contact making her lips tingle.
He leaned in, did it again, made her shiver. “You like that.”
“You’re teasing me.”
“I’mlearningyou.” His eyes drifted shut, and he canted his head, taking her mouth with his in a slow kiss.
It was nothing more than lips against lips, but it left her breathless, turned her body to liquid.
Forgetting that her bra and T-shirt were rolled up, she let go of the covers, slid her fingers into his hair, whimpering as he pressed the kiss deeper, teasing her with skilled strokes of his tongue. Then the tips of her nipples brushed the hard wall of his chest, sending a shockwave of pleasure through her, making her gasp.
But he’d felt it, too.
He groaned, broke the kiss, then jerked her T-shirt and bra over her head, leaving her naked. His gaze fixed on her bruised breast. “Did he do this?”
“It doesn’t matter now.” She pushed the covers aside to reveal all of herself and drew him onto the bed.
Still wearing his ACU trousers, he straddled her hips, his body hard, his size overwhelming her in the best possible way. His gaze moved over her, fixed on her breasts, his brow furrowing. “Tan hermosa.”
So beautiful.
Men had said that before, but it hadn’t affected her the way it did now.
He palmed her with a callused hand, first one breast, then the other, caressing her, teasing her, making her burn.
She arched into his hands, her eyes drifting shut. Oh, how she had missed this—the heat of a lover’s touch. “God,yes.”
Then he lowered his mouth to her and sucked one puckered nipple into the wet warmth of his mouth.
She moaned, her body tensing at the exquisite sensation as he licked her, suckled her, plucked her with his lips. He didn’t rush, but kept at it, lavishing attention on each breast in turn until she was out of her mind with arousal, her hips rocking beneath him, her body seeking release, endless months of sexual denial flaming inside her.
He chuckled, blew hot breath across her aching nipples, making them draw tighter. Then he stretched out beside her and slid a hand down her ribcage and over her belly to cup her, his gaze soft. “Pick up where you left off. Show me what you like.”
Gabriela’s heart gave a hard knock. She’d never touched herself in front of a man before—not counting what had happened earlier.
Dear God, how was she ever going to live that down?
“Don’t be shy.” He kissed her cheek, the tip of a nipple, then bent one of her legs. “Your knees were up like this and spread wide open.”
She didn’t know whether to feel embarrassed—or turned on. She closed her eyes, reached down, and ran her fingertip over her swollen clit, slowly at first, then faster.
