Riley felt her knees get weak and instead of trying to push him away, she grabbed a handful of his shirt to hold herself steady. Heat flooded her body making her squirm. “Don’t,” she whispered weakly.
“Tell me you don’t love this and I’ll stop.”
She was a horrible liar and Ethan would see right through her if she tried. “Please Ethan, we’re over.”
He raked his teeth along her jaw line and Riley nearly passed out from the sudden rush of pleasure. “Your lips say one thing but your body tells a different story. We can play this one of two ways: one, you say ‘Ethan, I don’t want this’ and mean it, or two, I carry you to the bedroom and give you the time of your life. You’ve got three seconds to decide, Riley. What’s it going to be?”
She opened her mouth but all that came out was a squeak. As he stared at her with his intense hazel gaze, she couldn’t form the words had her life depended on it. Her time was up before she got a chance to properly process his ultimatum. With an urgent growl his lips were on hers, devouring and demanding.
Ethan cradled her head in his palms holding her still as he dominated her with his kiss. If there was any chance for her to end this madness, now was the time but all Riley could think of was how much she still craved this man to distraction. Ethan’s touch was like an old familiar friend whom she sorely missed.
He traced the seam of her lips with his tongue to coax them apart. “Open your mouth for me, kitten.”
Riley’s sharp intake of breath was all Ethan needed to gain entry. He explored the recesses of her mouth, slowly, taking his time as if to savor every bit of her. No longer able to fight the flame he’d sparked within her, she wound her arms around Ethan’s neck and pressed her body against his.
He captured her tongue and sucked roughly at first until little by little he eased the pressure. The hard impression of his erection rested against her stomach as he held her tighter. Riley moaned into his mouth. If she could convince herself this was all just a dream she could justify letting this happen. For now she didn’t want to think of the post mortems because all she wanted to focus on was how she hadn’t felt this fucking good in years.
Ethan was the one to break the kiss pulling away with obviously reluctance. “Bedroom,” he whispered huskily.
“Huh?” Riley’s mind was hazy with lust.
“Where’s the bedroom, Riley? Or I could take you right here on the floor.”
The thought wasn’t unappealing; in fact it made her shiver with desire.
As if reading her mind, Ethan grinned revealing his teeth. “Riley, I didn’t know you had it in you. You want it right here, kitten?”
“I…I…” Damn him for leaving her speechless.
He chuckled. “It’s okay. We can experiment later. But for now I want our first time together again to be a little less primitive.” With no further warning, Ethan scooped her into his arms and headed toward the stairs and took two at a time as he ascended. Riley could feel the toned corded muscles working beneath his clothes and the demonstration of his physical strength without breaking a sweat had her panting in her need for him.
He glanced at her with a raised brow once they were at the top.
“Second door on the left,” she answered his silent inquiry.
Once inside her room, Ethan placed her on the edge of the bed and undressed with unhurried motions. Riley moved to discard her clothing as well, but Ethan halted her with a shake of his head. “No. That’s my job.”
“But—”
One slightly raised brow was enough to stop her. Ethan continued to disrobe, revealing a body that Riley had once spent hours memorizing. Though he was still a slender man, Ethan was a bit thicker than she remembered—all muscles and hard planes like he’d spent a lot of time in the gym of late. Besides the extra mass, everything was as she remembered from the small lion tattoo just below his collarbone to the appendix surgery scar on his side. Her breath caught in her throat as he eased his pants and boxer-briefs down. Ethan’s cock sprang out, long and hard. That hadn’t changed either. It was just as long and thick as she remembered.
As if some unknown force guided her, she reached out and wrapped her fingers round his shaft. It was hot and heavy in her hand.
Ethan inhaled sharply. “Kitten, don’t start something you don’t intend to finish.”
Riley took that as a challenge. Scooting off the bed, she dropped to her knees in front of him. She guided his feet from the pants that had pooled around his ankles. Riley then turned her attention back to his magnificent dick. “Riley, you don’t have to do this,” he groaned as she recaptured his member and licked the drop of pre-cum pearling the tip of his dick.
