A gust of wind whipped across the lake, tearing through the
thin fabric of her shirt and covering her skin with
gooseflesh. Lia shivered and crossed her arms over her chest.
Adam stopped the engines. "Let me get you a blanket." He
returned from the galley moment later and draped a fleece
throw around her shoulders. "I forgot how chilly the nights
can be out on the water, even though it's almost summer."
She pulled the blanket tighter around her. "Thank you."
He knelt in front of her and rubbed her arms, his motions
getting slower with each pass. He grew still and stared at
her. "You know, I still haven't gotten what I wanted tonight."
She braced herself for the grand overture that would involve
a request for sex, but instead, Adam simply leaned forward
and brushed his lips against hers in the softest of kisses.
A wave of heat rushed through her, starting at her mouth and
flowing to the tips of her fingers. She forgot about the
cold during those few seconds.
"Now I've gotten what I wanted," he said, his voice husky
with restraint.
"And is that all you wanted?" The words slipped out before
she knew what she was saying, but his kiss left her hungry
for more. She wanted his lips against hers again, his arms
around her, his body pressed against hers while he kissed
her until she grew dizzy from holding her breath.
"I didn't want to presume too much."
"I appreciate that." She threaded her fingers through his
hair and pulled him toward her until their lips met again.
This time there was nothing sweet and hesitant about the
kiss. She gladly opened her mouth to him when his tongue
swept along the seam and clung to him as he took her to that
head-spinning state she craved. The blanket slipped from her
shoulders, followed by her button-down shirt, leaving her in
the thin-strapped, cami-style tank top.
His hands chased away any of the cold that threatened her
bare skin, caressing her arms, her shoulders. His lips
followed, blazing a trail of heat along her neck and down
her chest. One of the straps fell off her shoulder, followed
by a tug along her neckline that allowed him access to her
breast. He ran his thumb across the taut peak, teasing it
for a second before taking it into his mouth.
A moan rose from her mouth as Adam alternated between using
his teeth and his tongue on the sensitive bit of flesh. She
slid out of her chair and straddled his lap, pressing her
body against his. The hard ridge of his cock through his
jeans both delighted and tormented her. She rocked against
him, encouraging him to continue.
"Oh, God, Lia." He grabbed her hips and held her still. His
lips abandoned her breast and devoured her mouth once again
until they were both left gasping for air. "You taste more
delicious than I could've imagined."
"Then don't stop," she urged before she lost her courage.
Maybe she didn't have time to date, but she wasn't going to
turn down what could possibly be the best sex in her life if
the foreplay was any indication.
