“I’ve wanted to touch your skin and taste you for as long as I can remember, Julia. I don’t know how I’ve lived this long without doing either.” His lips pressed against my chest before lowering to my breasts. He kneaded one nipple between his fingertips while his mouth did work on the other. His tongue rolled across my breast as his teeth bit down, eliciting a pain that didn’t hurt, but made me cry out all the same.

“God, James.” My voice came out sounding so heady. I should have been embarrassed, but I was too turned on.

“Did I hurt you?” he asked but didn’t stop.

My fingers wrapped in his dark hair and pulled. “No.”

His lips lowered to my stomach where I felt my abs constrict and release with each breath.

“Your hips are so sexy. You have perfect curves.” He bit down on my hip bone before swirling his tongue around the bite mark.

I had no idea what he was doing, but I loved every second. It felt like no inch of my skin would remain untouched by the time James was done with me.

I let go of his hair with my right hand and moved it on top of his shoulder. The way his muscles flexed and strained was so sexy; I found myself squeezing his arm, my nails digging into his skin.

“I like the way you feel. Your muscles are so hard.” It was an idiotic thing to say, but I’d never touched James before, and I liked how solid he felt.

His head shot up to glance at me before he refocused back on my body, worshipping it. He brushed his tongue against my hip before moving lower, taking my shorts and panties with him. Before I could say a word or move or even think, James was between my thighs, the way I’d imagined so many times before. The feel of his beard against my legs was heaven, but it was nothing like the way it felt to have his tongue inside me.

“Jesus, Julia, you taste so fucking good.”

My mouth dropped open with his words. Of course, I wanted him to think that, but hearing him say it catapulted me to another level. My thighs spread open wider as he got more comfortable there, his fingers swiping up and down before he inserted them inside me.

“You feel amazing,” I said out loud.
