That first night, when he’d found himself spilling his guts about his father and she’d told him about the violent act that had resulted in her precious daughter, he’d known she was the one for him. With hindsight, that was patently clear to him. He withdrew slowly from the kiss and rose to his knees to help her out of the scrubs she’d worn to work.

“There was supposed to be dancing,” he said.

“Doesn’t this count as dancing?”

“I suppose it does.”

As he undressed her, she watched him with expressive eyes gone soft with emotion. When she was bare, he whipped his sweater over his head and tossed it aside and then reached for the button to his jeans.

“Let me,” she said, sitting up to do the honors. She pushed the button through the hole and unzipped him slowly, working around the huge bulge, and then pushed his pants and underwear down until they were around his thighs.

His cock was so hard, it ached, but he held off, waiting to see what she would do.

She wrapped her hand around the base and drew the tip into her mouth, making him see stars as he tried to find some control.

“Lie back,” he said gruffly.

Without releasing him, she did as he directed, and he leaned over her, hands on the headboard, watching as she took him as deep as she could, until the head bumped up against her throat. Fucking hell… “Emma… Babe.”

“Mmm?”

The vibration of her lips against his shaft was nearly the end of him. Then she sucked on him and shattered any semblance of control he might’ve had. He came hard, and she was right there with him, never letting up until he was completely wrecked.

“Ah, fuck, Emma,” he gasped when he’d caught his breath. The sight of her swollen lips, flushed cheeks and satisfied smirk started the fire burning all over again. “That was… God, I can’t even tell you…”

Her husky, sexy laugh was his new favorite sound. “Did I do it right?”

“You couldn’t tell by the way I completely lost it?”

“Just making sure. I’m not very experienced in these things, so you have to tell me if I do it wrong.”

He stretched out next to her and gathered her into his arms. “There is nothing you could do where I’m concerned that would be wrong.”

“So the next time I do that, teeth would be okay?”

“Ahh…”

She laughed. “Didn’t think so.”

He cupped her breast and rolled her nipple between his fingers, watching with fascination as it hardened. Moving so he was between her legs, he bent to take that hard tip into his mouth.

Her fingers in his hair kept him anchored to her chest.
