He stepped out of the bathroom, towel wrapped around his waist. Sarah was sitting on the sofa, but stood up when he entered. His head felt lighter seeing her still here. He was going to ask her if she felt like ordering dessert, but she’d crossed the room and wrapped her arms around him before he could get a word out. She lay her head against his chest and Alex closed his eyes and dropped his lips to her wet hair, breathing in the scent of the vanilla bath soap and the soft, sweet, purity that was innately Sarah. He tangled a hand through her hair, wrapping his arm around her shoulders and murmured another apology. God, he loved this woman.
Alex felt her breath hot against his skin, sending sparks of desire right to his core. His heartbeat kicked up a notch. He tried to take a step but found her hand against his chest, keeping him in place. Slowly, she raised her face until her eyes peered up at him from under long lashes.
Fuck, she was breathtaking.
His cock twitched. With a gentle hand, he smoothed her hair back, losing himself in those eyes. Allowing himself to forget, for just a second, what had brought them to this moment.
‘Sarah…?’ The question hung in the air. Her eyes had darkened; her tongue wet her bottom lip.
Need screamed through him. This could not be happening. It shouldn’t…
She rose up to meet him, dragging her lips across his.
‘I want you.’ Her voice was low and hoarse. ‘I need you.’
He ran a thumb across her cheek, searching her face and finding desire in her eyes.
‘Are you sure?’ His heart hammered against his chest.
Sarah snaked her arms around his neck, bringing his mouth down on hers. He held her gaze as they kissed, softly, tenderly. He teased her lips with his tongue. She pressed against him, a moan gently escaping. He deepened the kiss, and she matched his intensity. Her hunger drove him close to insanity.
He pushed the robe from her shoulders, letting it drop to the floor. She stood before him, her skin paler than he remembered, but every inch as sexy. He needed to touch her, taste her.
Alex picked her up and her legs encircled his waist while he moved them back towards the bed, his hands cupping her gorgeous ass while her lips found his again. His cock strained against the towel held in place between their bodies, desperate to be set free.
He laid her on the bed, letting his towel drop to the floor. Christ, he wanted her all at once. His need to taste her won out. He ran his tongue inside her thigh until he reached her soft curls and paused. If memory served, and it did, she’d always waxed her pussy clean and smooth when they were together. Alex chose to take this as a sign that like him, she hadn’t been with anyone else recently. With a groan, his tongue teased her slit; she responded by opening her legs wider. Fuck, she was so wet. He probed further, licking her salty sweetness while he grasped her hips to hold her writhing body in place.
Sarah moaned, her fingers knotting in his hair. He inserted one finger, and then another, feeling her grip him as he worked her with his tongue. His other hand slipped across to hold her at the base of her belly.
Her moans turned to cries of ecstasy, her fingers tightened in his hair. The pain at his scalp let him know she was getting close. He was going to take her over the edge. Feel her come against his mouth.
‘Alex! Jesus Christ, yes,’ she screamed while her body contorted against him.
Leaving his fingers inside her, he moved up beside her, crushing his mouth to hers so she could taste herself on his lips.
She reached for his cock, her fingers grasping his shaft. ‘I want you inside me.’
He slipped his fingers out and used her slick to wet her nipples. ‘Not so fast.’
He took her hand from his cock and held both her wrists above her head. While his tongue ran gentle circles around her breasts and across her nipples. Her back arched and her hips bucked, creating friction against his rock-hard cock lying on her belly.
‘More, I need more…’ His teeth grazed the side of her breast. Sarah hissed with pleasure. ‘Please, Alex.’
