Up on an elbow, he studied Devin.
Her back was to him—long and sleek and provocative. The covers came just below
her hip at an angle and it was almost as if he were looking at an artist’s
rendering of a stunning woman in an elegant repose. She was sleeping soundly.
He really shouldn’t wake her. It was nearing midnight.
They’d
already had an incredible time playing in the massive claw-foot tub. He could
close his eyes and smile and picture her sitting across from him in a swell of
bubbles, laughing as they used their toes to investigate and stroke one
another, until she’d come into his arms and they’d slid and laughed and made
love in the heat and the bubbles and the steam rising around them.
But
now, the clock hadn’t quite struck midnight yet.
Still,
cruel to wake her…
Maybe
he’d just touch. With a feather-light touch, he drew his fingertip down the
sleek and sensual line of her back and spine, just to the place where the sheet
hid the rise of her hip. Once…and twice…
And
then she turned to him with her brilliant blue eyes, a smile curving her lips,
and he knew that she had only been drowsing and that she’d felt his first touch
and was laughing inside until she’d decided on mercy.
She
rolled into his arms, burying her head against his chest and delivering kisses
against his flesh. He was instantly aroused, aware that his every muscle seemed
to twitch, that she could awake a fire in him instantly, and that she could
tear at his heart with a whisper or a word. He felt her move low against him,
felt her hair fall upon him like caresses in silk and his arms wrapped around
her as he groaned and then pulled her up to him, meeting her mouth with his own
with desire and hunger and love. He meant to play, to tease, to worship the
pure beauty of her form, and yet the fire burned so quickly that she smiled as
she straddled and set atop him, until they rolled again, entwined, and lay side
by side, then rolled again, moving, writhing, making love, laughing
breathlessly at awkward positions, their laughter fading as urgency prevailed
until they climaxed almost simultaneously and fell beside one another—panting
for breath.
Then
she curled into his arms again. She whispered that she loved him, more than she
had ever imagined possible. He returned the words.
“I
love you more than life itself,” he vowed.
For
a moment, she stared down at him and the solemnity of his words seemed to
encase them as if they were one.
