“Mmm,” she said as she took him deep, giving him her tongue and a light scraping of teeth that seemed to drive him wild. She kept it up until he broke out in a sweat and drew her away from him.

“First time together,” he said through gritted teeth. He got busy pulling and tugging at hooks until the bustier flew across the room. From her feet to her knees to her thighs, he took his hands on a journey to her center where he tugged the scrap of silk covering her out of his way and bent to give her his tongue.

Sam arched her back, wanting more, so much more.

He found the tight nub of her desire and sucked it into his mouth just as he pushed two fingers into her. After taking her nearly to the brink of release, he kissed his way up the front of her, teasing her nipples with his teeth and tongue until she cried out from the overwhelming sensations.

“Now, Nick,” she said, reaching for him to bring him into her embrace, breathing in his clean, fresh scent.

His lips found hers in a devouring kiss that made her head spin. The sheer intensity of the feelings coursing through her was unlike anything she’d ever experienced, even with him. His tongue was everywhere, drinking her in like he’d been waiting forever for the chance to show her just how much he desired her.

Tears pooled in her eyes as she raised her hips, asking him for what she wanted more than the next breath. He entered her swiftly, tearing his lips from hers to draw in a ragged deep breath. Fierce and sexy and so beautiful in the candlelight, he loved her with everything he had, as if he’d waited until now, until she was his in every way possible, to show her the full scope of his love and adoration.

His hands were under her, holding her tight against him as he pumped into her with total abandon.

Sam reached the first peak faster than she ever had before, soaring higher than she’d known she could go. She clung to him, asking him without words to anchor her, to never let her go.

His brow was damp with sweat when he once again devoured her mouth in a series of deep, drugging kisses.

She buried her fingers in his silky hair to keep him there as took her up again, swiftly, until she hovered on the edge of something big and powerful and altogether out of her control.

Tearing his mouth free, he groaned and buried his face in her hair, crying out his own release as Sam followed him in a shower of light and heat and love so deep she wondered if they’d survive the storm.
