Long fingers threaded into her hair, gently moving it off her neck and out of his way. Then he pressed a hot, open-mouthed kiss to her shoulder before sucking and nibbling his way up to her throat. The intimate gesture sent an electrical current of desire surging through her, and her body stirred to life, a soft moan sliding past her lips. If he hadn’t known she was awake before, he definitely did now.

She arched back against him to provide better access to her throat since he was still behind her. But her neck apparently wasn’t what he wanted anymore. A broad hand slid up the front of her body and grasped on to her chin, tilting her face up to his. Then his mouth took hers.

While his hands were gentle, the kiss was anything but. His mouth moved over hers with an urgency that took her breath away. As if he had a dire thirst that needed to be quenched. Or a desperate hunger that needed to be fed.

Her heart fluttered. Never had she been woken up in such a delightfully sexy way before. She looked up at him as he continued to lean over her. “Good morning,” she said, beaming a smile at him.

His heated eyes glimmered. “It’s damn sure about to be.”

Preslee didn’t know exactly what that meant, but his low, guttural tone stirred something deep inside. So much so that she didn’t even protest when Adam rolled her onto her back and yanked the sheet off her naked body. So much for having an awkward morning-after conversation. Adam apparently wasn’t planning on doing much talking.

Fine by her.

Cold air caressed her nipples, hardening them instantly. His gaze lingered on them briefly, as if he contemplated reaching for them. But instead, he positioned himself between her thighs and smiled with wicked intent.

Resisting the urge to cover herself, she swallowed hard and met his gaze with a confidence that she hadn’t had before. She’d been growing more and more comfortable with showing him her body. Hell, he’d already seen and touched all of her anyway. Three times during the night, in fact.

Adam lowered himself and let her support some of his weight before levering himself back up and resting his forearms on both sides of her head. Then he sank into her with such slow precision that her eyes nearly crossed. When he filled her completely, she dug her nails into his back and blew out a sharp breath.

Then he began to move.

Exquisite pleasure washed over her as he rocked gently into her, awakening nerve endings that she didn’t even know she had. It was as if his magnificent body was attuned to hers in every way imaginable.
