Page 36 of No Love Lost

A soft gasp dropped from her lips, and she ground against him. “I like the sound of that.”

He brushed his thumbs over her nipples. Even through the t-shirt and the bra, she felt amazing. Her nipples pebbled, and she leaned into his hands.

Then she sat up further, and he worried she’d changed her mind. Instead, she pulled off her sweater and the t-shirt, leaving her in a cotton bra that matched her skin tone.

He ran his fingers along the edges, and her breathing picked up as their gazes locked. “Pretty. So damn pretty, Addy.”

Her smile bloomed, and when he reached around to unsnap her bra, she leaned forward to give him better access.

He felt like he had at seventeen. Fumbling. Nervous. So damn ready and worried he’d explode before she’d orgasmed at least once. He’d managed that feat at seventeen, and he wasn’t screwing it up this time either.

The bra went flying, and his hands cupped her beautiful breasts. She gasped his name, and her body shuddered. He reared up and put his mouth on her.

Addy breathed his name and he could feel the shivers on her skin. He wanted more. Wanted to see her losing her mind with pleasure. Wanted to see her shivering on the edges of the orgasm until it consumed her.

This woman was his everything. Always had been, and now he knew she was the mother of his child.

He flipped them over and then slid down her body to kiss her stomach. How beautiful she would have been with her round belly and pregnancy glow. There was no question that she would have glowed. Even through the fear, she’d have been so happy to be pregnant, to be a mother.

He’d missed it all, but he could relive it with her over the years. He would hear the stories and see the pictures. Because Addy understood and she wanted to share.

He kissed his way down to the top of her leggings. In seconds, he’d stripped them off, along with her pink panties and polka-dot socks.

Then he sat back on his heels for a moment just to look. Addy spread out before him like the best feast a man could ask for. He wanted her to know she was treasured. She was loved.

Was it too soon for the words? Would she believe them at this moment?

Heath ran his hands gently up the outside of her thighs and then repeated the motion on the inside. She arched off the couch, so responsive to his touch. And he’d barely started to touch. “I’m going to kiss every beautiful inch.”

He lifted a foot and started there, working his way up to the sensitive spot behind her knee. When he reached the juncture of her thighs, he looked up to find her gaze locked on him.

Her eyes sparkled with emotion, and color sat high on her cheeks. “You’re so beautiful, Addy. Inside and out. I can’t wait to see you fly apart.”

Her sharp intake of breath had him grinning, and that flush on her cheeks extended down over her neck and to her breasts. He let his eyes travel over that flush as his fingers teased between her legs.

Then he ducked his head and licked. Her head dropped back, and her sexy moan had him grinning even as his body tightened further.

When his tongue dipped inside, her body shuddered again, and she started panting his name.

Addy hadn’t even floated back from the best orgasm of her life before Heath’s strong arms lifted her, and she was floating again.

He placed her gently on a mattress and she managed to flutter open her eyes to watch him strip down. A sight she definitely didn’t want to miss.

She couldn’t stop the hungry sound when he yanked the t-shirt over his head with one hand. He grinned at her and made short work of the rest.

His teenage athletic frame had grown into a man’s fit body. Strong and muscular with abs she planned to lick. When she told him that, his body tightened in the most impressive way, making her smile and sit up.

He pointed at her. “Nope. I’ve got the most amazing plans for you, and if you follow up with the promise I see in those eyes, I’m going to go off as fast as I did when I was seventeen.”

That made her laugh. “I don’t remember having any complaints. And after that orgasm that just sent me to Saturn and back, I think it’s your turn.”

She watched his eyes gleam in response to her words, but as he strode forward, he kept motioning for her to lie back on the bed.

When he got close enough, he poked her shoulder lightly with one finger. She fell back willingly, and when his weight pressed her into the mattress, she wrapped her arms around him and battled back the onrush of tears. “This feels so right. So perfect. I’ve missed you so much, Heath.”

He buried his head into her shoulder, and his deep breaths told her how close he was to losing control. “Same here Addy. I’ve missed you every damn day. Let me show you.”

A woman would be ridiculous to argue with that.
