βThatβs not what youβre wearing?β Mitch teased as he reached
out to rub the fabric of her robe between two fingers.
βIt looks perfect to me.β
His simple words were offered with a smile. But there was a
look in his eyes that fascinated Livi. A promise of
delights sheβd never imagined, a rock-solid confidence that
heβd be the best sheβd ever encounter.
Livi didnβt know where it came from. She was never forward
with men. Even after a year of marriage sheβd always waited
for Derrick to initiate sex.
But this was Mitch.
She felt things with him that sheβd never felt before.
Edgy desire and a white-hot need.
Tempting passion and naughty hunger.
And comfort.
As if she were safe. Not just physically safe because he
was a SEAL. But safe to be herself, without fear of judgment
or reprisal.
It was a total turn-on.
βActually,β she told him as she unknotted her robe, βI
thought I might wear this.β
It only took a tiny shrug to send the fabric sliding over
her skin, down her body and to the floor.
Leaving her wearing two tiny bits of black silk, and the
heat of Mitchβs gaze. Her nerves were gone. There was no
room for them in a body filled with desire.
βYou wear that and weβre going to have some problems,β
Mitch said, his voice a little huskier than before. The
hand thatβd tested the fabric of her robe slid along her
bare arm now, close enough to warm her breast, but not
touching.
Need coiled, low and tight in Liviβs belly.
βWhat sort of problems?β she asked, not moving. Barely
breathing.
βHunger problems,β he told her as his hand skimmed her waist
now, up to the edge of her bra, then down her side to the
tiny strip of lace at her hip. βWeβre definitely going to
go hungry.β
She didnβt see him move.
She had no idea how he went from standing a foot away to
sweeping her into his arms, but there she was. Livi gasped,
wrapping her arms around his shoulders so she wouldnβt fall.
The she realized she was in no danger of falling. At least,
not onto the ground.
βNobodyβs ever swept me off my feet before,β she said, a
little stunned.
βLetβs see what else we can do that youβve never done
before,β Mitch suggested just before his mouth took hers.
