Her heart felt like it was ready to burst, and hot tears burned at the backs of her eyes, but she blinked them away before they could fall.
She couldn’t let herself believe what she thought she saw. It would leave her even more vulnerable than she already was to him.
Dex continued to run his hands over her, stripping her clothes away until she was completely bare.
She straddled his lap, her breasts pressed against his soft dress shirt.
Dex continued to kiss her, alternately giving her soul-stealing deep kisses and pressing his lips gently against her cheeks, eyelids, and nose.
She sighed, and he swallowed the soft sound.
After several minutes, she felt his cock begin to stiffen between them.
Before she knew it, she was softly grinding against him, tormenting them both.
Rather than grabbing her roughly and returning them to their sexual frenzy from earlier, Dex stroked her hair and traced his fingers down her spine, leaving a wake of erotic tremors dancing across her skin.
His cock rose to full attention, and she wanted him inside her again.
Not for the explosive release, but to feel as close to him as possible.
Dex almost seemed to understand what she needed as she reached between them and wrapped her hand around his hot length. He cupped her ass and lifted her gently onto her knees so she could lay her hands lightly on his muscled shoulders for balance.
Dex kept his open gaze locked with hers as he positioned himself at her entrance and then guided her down as he filled her.
The sensation was exquisite. Better than anything she had ever felt in her life, and it was only as she sat flat against his lap with him fully buried inside her that she realized they hadn’t stopped for a condom.
She met his gaze, and she watched his expression change as he realized it too.
“Kate, I…”
She laid a finger against his lips and smiled. “You feel amazing. I’m glad we were both distracted. I wouldn’t have missed being this close to you for anything.”
Dex’s expression slowly softened until he returned her smile and tugged her forward so he could kiss her again.
She gently bucked her hips, moving him inside her tight sex enough to torture them both. Heat slowly built between them, not fast and furious, but a slow, searing burn that Kate thought might consume them both.
With her eyelids heavy with arousal and emotion, she slowly began to move on top of him.
Dex held onto her waist, gently guiding her, but letting her set their pace.
Her body slowly tightened around him until she felt the telltale tingling low in her pelvis that told her she was close to orgasm.
Dex’s expression looked strained as if he was just as close, but needed a little more to fall over that sharp edge.
Staring into his intense gaze, and impatient to feel him spill inside her, she made her movements more deliberate.
It was just enough to tip the scales, and within a few more strokes, the tension in her pelvis gave way, and the walls of her sex rhythmically contracted around him, pulling a groan from Dex as she felt him pulse and spill inside her.
Bliss stole through her, as well as the knowledge that she was in love with this amazing man.
Chapter 23
Dex smiled at the tenderness that curled inside his chest as he looked into Kate’s beautiful green gaze. What they had just shared had been amazing, and he wished he could carry her off to his suite of rooms down the hall and convince her to never leave.
But there was still the case, and he still had to find the evidence to clear her.
He had no doubt he would, but before he could tell Kate how much he had come to feel for her, that was a necessary first step.
Once that was out of the way, he would make her his, no matter what it took.
He pulled her against him, cuddling her close and trying to bring himself to regret being too caught up in Kate to stop to put on a condom.
He didn’t even know if she was on the pill, but he didn’t care. The thought of Kate pregnant with their child filled him with happiness, not dread.
“My suite of rooms is just down the hall. Would you like to stay with me tonight?”
Or forever…
Genuine regret marred her expression. “As much as I want to, I need to get home. I need to take care of Rusty, and I also have projects to get out before tomorrow morning.” A sad-sounding sigh broke from her, and her bottom lip quivered. “I hadn’t planned on seeing you here tonight, or even staying very long. My plan was to see if I could get a tour and find out about membership, then come back later for anything else.”
She dropped her gaze, as if she couldn’t look at him, since the implication of coming back later was that she would have found someone besides him to play a scene with.
Just another reason Dex wanted to make her his. He never wanted to think about Kate playing with anyone else again, in any capacity. She was his, and only his.
Slowly, he nodded. “Can I drive you home?”
