Feel the Heat: A Contemporary Romance Anthology

“Rob.” She attempted to cover herself, shocked by the suddenness of his motion.

“No.” He pulled her hands away. “You’re beautiful.”

Matching his words with actions, he bent down and took one of her nipples in his mouth, relishing the sound of her delicious moan and the feel of her hands tangling in his hair. Sex with Meg would be different. He could feel it in the way her hands lovingly caressed his back as if she wanted his pleasure as much as she wanted her own.

He plucked at her other breast with his free hand, loving the sound of her rapid breathing and excited whimpers. She tugged on his hair, causing him to raise his head to look into her deep blue eyes, heavy-lidded with desire.

Her voice was a mere whisper and her body trembled with need. “It’s been too long. Please. I need you—now.”

“All you had to do was ask, Meg.” He picked her up easily.

Shock crossed her face. Rob was sure no one had ever whisked her off to the bedroom as she laughed with delight. “I feel like Scarlett O’Hara.”

He tossed her lightly into the middle of her bed before crawling over her on all fours.

Her laughter quickly turned to whimpers as he buried his face in the crook of her neck, kissing, licking and biting his way down to her breasts to continue his earlier torment. Straddling her hips, he bit back his own groan as she pushed herself against the painful erection smothering in his trousers. His lovely southern belle wasn’t idle as she worked quickly to shed his clothing. Her hands slipped beneath his shirt as she pushed it off his shoulders. Her quick intake of breath and wide eyes proved she liked what she saw.

Pulling his shirt off, he untied the drawstring holding his ridiculously large sweatpants on her waist, while Meg tackled the buttons of his pants.

“Hurry,” she cried.

Rob fought hard not to laugh at her impatience. Never one to dawdle, he found himself purposely trying to prolong the act. He had every intention of making love to Meg all night and he was in no rush to see this end. His little teacher, however, had a different lesson plan.

Stripping her pants off, he rose to shuck his own. He started to return to the bed, but Meg stopped him with an outstretched hand.

“Wait.” She sat up in order to see him better. Rob didn’t have a modest bone in his body, but her close scrutiny left him flushing a bit.

“You’re incredible. I mean, holy mother. You’re like Ryan Reynolds, Channing Tatum, and that new James Bond guy all rolled into one.”

“What, no Rhett Butler?”

Reaching over, he pulled her toward the end of the bed. He didn’t give her an opportunity to respond as he took her mouth again with a heated kiss. Gripping her knees, he pulled them apart until he stood between her legs as she lay across the bed. The height of the mattress was nearly perfect for his intentions leaving her wet opening level with his hips. Her excited little groans nearly drove him out of his mind, as he had to physically restrain himself for plunging into her. He ran his dick along her slick opening as they kissed.

So much for taking it slow.

“Rob,” she whispered when he came up for much-needed air. “Condom?”

“Shit.” Rob had nearly forgotten. Grabbing his pants, he retrieved the foil package.

“Wait. Let me.” She took the condom from him. The first tentative touch of her fingers on his cock staggered him. His breath caught in his throat and he had to lean forward to hold himself upright with his hands.

“Christ,” he hissed, as she teased him with her firm, slow touches as she unrolled the condom. “Much more of that, Margaret, and that lousy rubber will be useless before I even get inside you.”

Laughing, she finished her task, running her hands appreciatively along his chest, stopping to toy with his nipples. Rising up on her elbows, she stroked each one with her tongue, planting soft kisses all over his chest before chastising him. “What did I tell you about calling me Margaret?”

“Apologies.”

“I want you.” Looking into her lovely eyes, he could see she spoke the truth.

“I had planned to go slow. Savor the moment.”

“We have all weekend to savor the moment. Right now, I need you. Hard and fast, please.”

Thrilled by her demanding words, he moved. All rational thought and years of practiced patience left him as he took her at her word. He entered her in one strong thrust, stopping for only a moment to enjoy how tightly she clutched his cock in her pussy and how firmly her arms held onto him.

“Holy mother,” she breathed into his ear. He smiled at what was quickly becoming his favorite of her delightful expressions.

Unable to hold back any longer, Rob gave her exactly what she asked for. Hard and fast. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he wondered if his movements weren’t almost brutal, but Meg’s cries of desire and the fingernails digging into his back urged him on.
