“No,” I snapped as the clawing urgency to get back to Dolly grew stronger.
“I see. Well, all right then,” Tex drawled behind me.
He didn’t see shit, but I wasn’t going to explain myself to him or anyone. I didn’t even fucking understand me right now anyway. How could anyone else?
Jerking my door back open, I walked inside to see Dolly still sleeping in the middle of my bed. The sight eased me some, but not completely. There was still that unknown monster I had to slay for her. I just needed to be pointed in the right direction, and I’d fix it. She would never be tormented by it again.
The door clicked shut, and I locked it, then went to the bed to climb back in beside her. Holding her would help. I just needed her back against me again.
She began to turn as I slid under the covers. I watched as she blinked several times while she stared at my neck and chest. A grin tugged at my lips. Damn, she was sweet.
“Morning,” I said, drawing those pretty eyes up to mine.
She studied me for a moment, and then a small smile touched her lips. “Good morning.”
The sleepy thickness in her voice made my dick twitch. The desire to spread her legs and bury my face between them was almost impossible to resist. Knowing she had a darkness haunting her, defeating her, and she was fragile were the only things keeping me from giving in to my lust.
“Did you sleep well?” she asked me.
“Yeah,” I lied.
I watched as she pulled her bottom lip between her teeth and chewed on it nervously. Did she know how enticing that was? That mouth of hers had been teasing me since I’d walked into the bar and found her with Canyon. Jesus Christ, she had to stop that.
I reached over and pulled her plump lip free, then brushed my thumb over it, wishing I could taste it. Lick it. Suck on it. “That’s a little more than I can handle, Tink.”
A frown puckered her brow. “What?”
God, she was innocent. She had no clue the tempting little package she was.
“Biting your lip, sweetheart. You’ve got the perfect mouth, and that only makes me think about all the things I’d like to do to it.”
Her eyes widened, and she sucked in a quick breath. I let her mind work through my words and enjoyed seeing the different emotions that flashed across her face as she did so.
“What…” She started, then paused and swallowed. “What do you want to do to it?” The slight quaver in her voice just about broke me.
It had taken a lot for her to ask me that. She wasn’t the kind of girl who teased men or used her power over them to get what she wanted. She had no fucking clue she had any power.
I slid my hand to cup the side of her face. I should get up. Stop this before I couldn’t. I should do a lot of things, but I wasn’t getting out of this bed. There was no point in telling myself it was the right thing to do. I wasn’t that strong.
Leaning down, I brushed my lips against hers and moved my hand down to her neck until my thumb was over the pulse there. The quickening of it made me feel like a damn king. I ran the tip of my tongue over the swollen bottom lip just as she opened for me. Taking full advantage of the invitation, I managed to tamp down my desire to climb on top of her and crush my mouth against hers.
Instead, I savored her. The purity of her uncertainty was going to drive me wilder than any kinky shit I’d experienced in the past. This was another level of longing. It exceeded anything else. A shudder ran through her body, and she pressed closer to me, sliding her fingers into my hair. This wasn’t going to be enough for me. I’d opened Pandora’s box, and I was going to either own it or destroy it. The frenzy building in my chest wasn’t keeping me sane enough to make the right decision.
The moan from Dolly snatched away the last string of my self-control. I tore my mouth from hers, and I made my way down her throat, needing to taste all of her. Every fucking inch. When I reached the collar of her shirt, I took the unwanted fabric and pulled it up, needing it off her. Hating any barrier that was in my way. She lifted her arms, allowing me to easily discard it. Pausing, I took a moment to memorize the sight of the lacy pale pink bra covering her tits before getting it off her. With each panting breath she took, her chest bounced gently, making it hard for me to remain focused on my goal. Lowering my head, I pulled one of her hardened nipples into my mouth and sucked.
