This time, when he pinned her to the door with his hips, his mouth slammed into hers, sealing any protests, any smartass comments, any dirty talk between them.
That mouth. It had spent years tormenting him with smart comments and red lipstick. With fucking popsicles in the summer and chaste greetings where she pressed those lips to his and danced away again, daring him to grab hold and keep her there.
She didn’t melt against him. There was nothing soft and surrendering about her reaction. No, Remington Ford counterattacked. And when he forced his tongue into her mouth, and she let out a sexy little moan, he knew he was going to find out finally just how wet she got for him.
Tonight. Now. Finally.
He hadn’t earned her. He didn’t deserve her. But for once in his life, that wasn’t going to stop him from taking what he wanted. What he needed.
“Tell me what you want,” she whispered, squeezing those thighs around his waist like he was a mount she was urging faster. “Show me what I can give you.”
Eyes closed as he reveled in the feel of her against him, he shook his head. “It’s what I need, and if I told you everything I need to do to you, you’d run.”
“Try me.”
His shaft, nestled up against those fucking white panties, throbbed as pictures raced through his mind.
“I need to suck your nipples so long and so hard they get hard every time you see me.” The words came from a throat full of shards of glass. “I need to own your sweet pussy with my mouth and my dick. I need to know what it feels like to have you come on my hand, my tongue, my fucking cock. I need to come so deep inside you, you never stop feeling it.”
She trembled against him, shaking like she was cold. But everywhere he touched, her skin was hot.
“I need to bend you over and peel down those wet panties so I can turn your cheeks red with my hand.”
This was where she would laugh or cry. This was the part she would tell him he was sick. Even as he waited, holding his breath for the rejection, there was a powerful relief in finally putting the words out there. Finally releasing his secret.
She cut him off with her mouth. Pulling him down to her and kissing him like she was drowning and only he could save her. She trembled again, a full-body shiver that made him want to apologize for the confession even while he did every filthy thing he’d ever fantasized about to her.
Pulling back, she looked up at him, starry-eyed and stunned. “Yep. Let’s do that. All of it.”
He groaned.
“You don’t mean that, Remi.” She couldn’t mean that. She couldn’t understand what years of yearning would amount to if she gave him access to her body.
She lunged forward, her teeth caught at his bottom lip, and he tasted blood.
“This is where you tell me to walk away, Trouble,” he whispered.
Those heavy lids lifted, and beneath thick lashes, those green eyes looked into his fucking soul. Her hair was a tangle of rich, red fire in his fist. “You never listen to me when I tell you to leave me alone. Besides. This time it’s different. This time I’m saying yes to everything.”
He thrust his hips against her. She let out a silvery little gasp. Music to his fucking ears. “You aren’t hearing me. I want to use you, ruin you.”
“Then you better get started.” She wasn’t taunting him. The woman meant it.
“I’m fucking serious, Remington. If I start, I don’t know if I can pull myself back.” If he couldn’t control himself, he was no better than his father.
“I don’t want you to pull back. I want you to trust me to take it all.”
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. The word echoed in his head as his blood pulsed painfully in his shaft.
Her lips parted as if she could feel him growing harder at just the thought.
As if the temptation of her pressed up against a wall panting wasn’t enough, her fingers closed around the low neck of her sweater and pulled down.
He was already a goner. He knew it. But that full, round breast with its perky nipple was the last kick in the balls he could take. He used one more short, hard thrust to hitch her higher. He was breathing like a horse after a long run as he leaned down. He ran his tongue over that pink peak in one long lick. Just that little taste sent electricity coursing through his body.
She felt it, too. Her gasp had his erection swelling impossibly bigger.
Desperation. It sunk its claws into him, drawing blood. He needed more. With one quick tug of her sweater, he bared both breasts.
She was perfection. Round and full and firm. Pretty pink nipples begging for his mouth. He treated them to what they craved, and when he’d bathed them both with the rough of his tongue, he sucked one point deep into his mouth. He suckled, drawing that tip deeper and lashing it with his tongue.
“Brick,” she hissed out his name as her fingers gripped his hair.
“Keep fucking breathing, baby doll.”
“Don’t fucking stop, please,” she begged, bucking against him.
He peeled her off the door and carried her toward the light. He wanted to see her. He wanted to memorize every moment of this night so he could carry it with him for the rest of his life.
She held his face in her hands as she kissed and bit his lips.
“Where’s your cast?” he asked between assaults.
“Gone today,” she murmured against his mouth. He regained control of the kiss, thrusting his tongue into her mouth just like he planned to do to that wet, tight pussy she had for him.
God. There were so many things he wanted to do. Needed to do.
As if reading his mind, Remi pulled back and squeezed his cheeks in one hand. “This is the first time. Not the only time. Got it?”
He nodded, not trusting his own voice.
“Focus on what you need to do this time, then we’ll work our way around to all the want tos.”
“Promise me.” His voice was hoarse.
She looked surprised. “Promise you what?”
“That this is just the first time.” He needed that guarantee. Needed to know he could have her again.
Looking him in the eye, she tightened her legs around his waist. “I promise you, Brick. Don’t go slow. Don’t waste time trying to be romantic. I want you to take me like you can’t help yourself.”
She had no fucking idea.
“Do you understand the permission you’re giving me here?” he rasped. Half hoping she’d come to her senses. If she let him do this, how would he ever go back to the way it was?
“I do and I want it, too,” she whispered.
His balls fucking ached. Brick wasn’t sure he’d survive round one, let alone be physically capable of participating in round two. But damn it, he was going to try.
“Trust me. Show me what you like, Brick. Please.”
The whimpered please got him.
Their entire relationship played out on fast forward in his head. He thought of all the trouble. All the yearning. All the smart-mouthed comments and the teasing. So much fucking teasing.
