He looks at me, smiling again. “What?”
I swallow hard. “You can still... kiss me, if you want.”
His eyes show a sinister light. “On the lips?” he asks.
I nod. He does it, soft and slow with his eyes open.
“And here?” he asks, shifting down to my chest.
“Yes,” I answer, breathlessly.
He kisses me near my cleavage again, pecking twice as he lays a hand on my belly. “Here?”
I tremble. “Yes.”
Ari continues down, leaving a trail of warm kisses down my navel. He reaches the top of my underwear and stops, his devious eyes peeking up as he licks his lips.
“Here?” he asks.
I quiver with a desire I’ve never felt before but don’t want to ignore. “Yes,” I tell him.
His lips touch me again, half on my skin and half on white cotton. I let out another small, pleasurable sound. He slowly hooks a finger over my underwear and pulls one edge down to expose my hipbone, but nothing more. I twitch, my body reacting to this new invasion as he kisses my skin. He gently pulls the elastic down a little farther, exposing the edges of the tuft of dark hair on my mound.
Ari kisses me there, this time letting out a deep, pleasing groan as he inhales. He flexes, once again showing that hard restraint but I don’t want him to. I find myself easing my head up, eager to watch and see and feel.
What would you like to feel, Tannis?
Everything.
I reach down, clawing my fingers through his hair. A visible shudder travels his spine and he turns his head up to look at me. He kisses my hand and gently bites into the flesh of my palm. I see the passion in him. Passion for me.
He lets out a warm groan and clutches my underwear, quickly yanking them down to my ankles. I gasp, taken back by his sudden, firm touch but it just frees another moan from my throat.
Ari stops above me and looks down. He nudges my knees apart, forcing me to spread them wider, and I tremble beneath his lustful gaze. My cheeks fill with blood from desire or nerves, I can’t be sure. I just know I don’t want him to stop.
Ari lowers down with a growl on his breath. “Tannis,” he whispers. “Can I taste you?”
I roll my fingers through his thick hair again. “Yes,” I answer.
He kisses me again, hard and firm, before climbing down my body. I bite my lip, unable to believe I said yes.
Yes, use your mouth on me.
Yes, violate me.
Yes, bring me pleasure and pain and everything in between.
Ari settles between my knees and teases my thighs, leaving nibbles and kisses in a soft line as he drifts closer. My core vibrates with heat, throbbing and waiting to feel him for the first time; to feel any man for the first time.
His tongue grazes my flesh and I flutter my eyes closed, trying to withdraw myself as my body erupts with deep throbs. I freeze in place, unable to think or move, though I don’t want to either. I want to lie back and submit to the pleasure boiling just beneath the surface as his tongue digs a little deeper inside of me.
Words escape me and I whimper quietly as my tongue taps the roof of my mouth. Ari rests a strong hand on my belly, giving me something to cling to as a flurry of pleasure radiates through my limbs. My thighs twitch and my toes curl. I forget about everything. I forget about my life; my hopes and my dreams. For a split second, I’m nothing but his.
“Ari,” I moan softly, biting down hard on my bottom lip.
He turns his head away and breathes hard into the flesh of my thigh. “Dammit, Tannis,” he whispers. “You taste so good.”
He immerses himself again and my back instantly arches. I’m so close yet so far. I can hardly breathe yet my chest keeps heaving. Shit. Shit.
