Okay, so not so charming. Nevertheless, it added to Tess’s wonderful smile rather than reducing it. She ended her approach just before she would have entered his reach, frustrating his body. Arms clasped behind her back, she let him drink endlessly from her voluptuous curves and the shimmering dress adhering to it.
Her backup dress for New Year’s Eve captured every beam of light in the room upon its satin body. It gleamed royal blue, and it embraced her curvaceous body as lovingly and tightly as it could manage until it pooled on the ground around her hidden feet. Its adherence to her seductive contours left him equal parts fortunate and envious, as did the bounty of skin it didn’t hide from her breasts up.
It compressed those full breasts somewhat, maintaining its tight grasp of Tess’s voluptuous form. Thanks to the deep plunge of her dress, there was plenty of cleavage on display. It also lacked any sleeves or shoulders, only kept up by two thin straps. It lacked one more thing, which Tess, generous as always, allowed him to see moments later.
She turned slowly, and Liam’s eyes glued themselves to her captivatingly sexy hips. If there was one part of her that not even Avril could contest, it was the part of her he admired now. And her dress made sure to show it off.
As her fantastic butt entered his field of view, he nearly shivered with delight. The blue satin shaped itself around her butt so enticingly that he felt his pulse thump like an excited rabbit’s foot in his throat. His eyes would have loved to linger there, but Tess called his eyes upward by clearing her throat.
An oasis of peerlessly smooth skin awaited them. Other than where the straps crossed across her upper back, there wasn’t a hint of blue from her lower back to her shoulders. Tess ensured he knew that, shifting her wavy hair to the front of hershoulder, wanting him to drink it all in. All of her. Dressed to murder men of lesser constitutions.
“Wow,” he repeated, though he inwardly groaned at his inability to come up with something more profound or charming to say in the face of the wonderous sight standing before him.
“I almost picked this one,” Tess said, dark blue eyes shimmering with delight at his continued difficulty adding a second word to his diminished vocabulary. “It was a close second.”
Finally, Liam found his words. “Now, I’m even more excited about what edged this one out. You look… heavenly.”
Tess giggled. “There you go with your angel comparisons again. I guess I’ll just have to get used to them.”
Heat flushed his face. Before he could come up with a more fitting compliment for her, Tess, still standing with her back to him, lifted a single finger over her shoulder.
“You don’tjusthave to look, by the way,” she purred, curling her finger just once.
That was more than enough.
Liam sprung to his feet fast enough to give himself momentary whiplash. Seeing vertigo, he shook his head to remove it as rapidly as possible. Fortunately, the woman before him had no plans involving countdown timers tonight.
As soon as he blinked away his vertigo, he admired her body again. His desire cascaded across her body as he imbibed the mere sight of her.
“God, you’re so beautiful,” he exhaled under his breath.
“Hmm? I couldn’t hear you.”
His eyes briefly reconnected with hers, and they shared a smile. Steadying the rampage of his heart enough to finally collect his thoughts, he cleared his throat.
“I said, you’re so fucking sexy, Professor Williams.”
Tess snorted but moved her hands behind her. They each found one of his wrists. Clamping down on them, they guided Liam to his version of the Promised Land.
“You’re not one of my students, so you don’t get to call me that,” she said as she splayed his palms out on her shapely butt.
“Sorry. You’re so fucking sexy,Tess.”
“Better,” she purred, beaming as he pressed his hands into her phenomenal butt.
He had decently sized hands, but they were in no way, shape, or form up to the task of claiming all the territory sprawling out beneath them. Tess’s butt had always been amazing, but it’d never beenthisfit and alluring. Between when he’d gone off to college and returned, she’d scaled up her love of jogging to include plenty of gym visits with her equally gorgeous colleague, Victoria. Now, he was the one who got to reap what she’d sowed.
“You have a lot of dresses like this?” he asked, pressing his groin against her as his hands flared out to cover more ground on her butt and hips.
“A few,” she said, pushing back against his stiffening cock. “A woman must be prepared to attend a lavish party or a wedding.”
“I can’t think of any woman who’d ever let you attend her wedding dressed like this. She’d be too worried about you upstaging her and stealing her husband.”
Tess playfully gasped and wiggled her hips as he wrapped his arms around her curvaceous waist and pinned her against him. “I wouldnever.I’m a respectable woman. You keep calling me an angel for a reason, don’t you?”
She began to grind against him, which delayed Liam’s response behind a heavy inhale from the pleasure building within him.
“I think I’m starting to forget that reason,” he said, earning another seductive smile as he burned her shoulder with a kiss. “And that you’re a respectable woman.”
