Instantly, I complied.

Blaze noticed, and his lips twitched as he kicked off his sneakers just inside the front door. “Somebody’s eager.”

Could he blame me?

I gave Blaze instructions on how to get to my room, and as we made the journey there, I couldn’t ignore the trembling in my belly. The anticipation for what was ahead was almost too much to bear, so I was grateful when we made it to my bedroom and Blaze carefully lowered me to my back in my bed.

As I scooted myself back, he joined me in the bed, hauling me up against him, so we were on our sides with our bodies pressed together. Whatever Blaze had been eager to get, he didn’t delay.

He hooked one of my legs over him as his mouth captured mine. His tongue drove into my mouth, tasting and exploring while his hands roamed over my body.

While there was a part of me that wanted to use my own hands to explore his body, there was the other part of me which was happy to submit to him. At least for now. Maybe I’d allow him to get his fill, to touch and taste as much as he wanted, and when he finished, I could take my time to do the same.

So, I held on.

I held on to him and kissed him back with everything I had.

There wasn’t an ounce of disappointment to be found in doing that. Because, eventually, Blaze got himself worked up. He rolled me onto my back, and his body came over mine. I loved the way it felt to have his big, strong body on top of mine.

But more than that, I loved how he tore his mouth from mine and, with deep, heaving breaths, he shared, “I haven’t stopped thinking about you since I brought you home last night.”

My arms tightened around him in response.

He pressed a soft kiss on my jaw and whispered, “From the moment I sat down at my desk, I was hard thinking about you and how beautiful you look when you come.”

I pressed my head deeper into the pillow, my eyes closing as I tilted my chin up higher.

Blaze nibbled on the skin at the front of my throat, one of his hands sliding up my side until it shifted to the front and cupped my breast.

I whimpered.

“Nobody has ever driven me this wild,” he shared.

I rolled my hips.

Blaze didn’t stop. “Nobody has ever made me want to leave work early just to get a taste.”

It was too much, and yet, I still needed more.

His thumb swiped over my nipple on one side while his mouth bit down gently on the other, my shirt and bra a nuisance for me at this point. When he released my nipple, he lifted his head slightly, forcing me to look down at him. Once our eyes were locked on one another, he said, “Nobody but you.”

“Blaze,” I whimpered. I was so overcome by not only the physical sensations moving through me, but the emotional ones, too.

Though I might have been too caught up in the way I felt, Blaze wasn’t so distracted that he couldn’t react. After hearing me say his name, he moved and did it quickly.

My shirt was gone in an instant, followed by my shorts I hadn’t managed to change out of before he arrived. Blaze moved to my bra next, and it was only after I was there in nothing but a pair of panties that he slowed down.

His heated stared moved over my body, not a single inch of it going unnoticed. “You’re so beautiful.”

I’d had so many nerves moving through me, but with the way he was looking at me combined with the words he said, it was difficult to feel anything but desired at that moment.

“Are you okay?” he asked.

I nodded.

His hands came to my hips, his fingers curling around the lace edge of my underwear. “Can I take these off?”

“Yes.”
