A drug he’d happily become addicted to.
He was done kissing her. For now. There was something else he wanted to taste. With that in mind, he let his mouth trail down her neck. Occasionally he’d stop to nibble and suck until more moans emanated from deep within her. Immeasurable satisfaction pooled inside his stomach as she flung her head back.
I’m only just getting started.
When he got to her collarbone, he let his teeth scrape over her skin, eliciting more sexy cries. Damnit. Those noises could drive a man to insanity. So could her taste. Dragging his tongue down her chest, he unravelled.
A tortured sounding “Yes” echoed around the room as his mouth latched onto a hardened nipple. If he thought her moans were loud before, they were nothing compared to the ones he was drawing out of her now. And it only added more fuel to the fire.
He used his fingers to twist and pinch her other nipple, teasing her with contrasting sensations. When he sucked hard on one side, he caressed the other. When he kissed away the sting, his caress was replaced with a squeeze. And so it went on. Over and over again. Until they were both shaking.
Libby was so responsive. More than he ever could have imagined. And it was the biggest turn on. Those sexy as hell sounds she was making would forever be engraved in his memory.
As he continued his frenzied attack on her chest, he felt her clawing at his shirt. He got the message. Loud and clear. He released her nipple just long enough to pull the material over his head. As soon as it fell to the floor, he was back on her. Unable to resist.
But as he returned to his teasing, something felt different. Something had shifted. Maybe coming up for air meant oxygen had finally reached his brain again. All he knew was he had to stop. Not because he wanted to. But because he needed to.
As much as he wanted to take her right there on the kitchen counter, he knew that would be the one and only time he had her. And he already knew that would never be enough. He wasn’t looking for a one-night stand. Not with her. He wanted more. And the only way he was going to get it, was by convincing her to take a chance on him. That wasn’t going to happen if they jumped straight to sex. If anything, it would be proving her point that you didn’t need to date or have relationships.
Even though he knew he’d be kicking himself later, he needed to end this. Ignore his pulsating body. Forgo a chance to get inside of her, and do the right thing.
“No.” He lifted his head but kept their bodies close.
“No?” Libby asked through laboured breaths, confusion written all over her face.
A groan slipped out as he took in the sight of her. Glazed eyes, swollen red lips and her top askew, exposing the most fantasy-inducing breasts and pert, pink nipples he’d ever seen.
Be strong, man.
He was feeling anything but strong. “Fuck.” It was an understatement. “We can’t. We have to stop.” This time he took a step back before he changed his mind.
“Why?”
Zach didn’t like the insecurity that radiated off of her in waves. Or the way her teeth had clamped down on her lower lip. He needed to set her straight. Immediately.
“Because, princess, I want more.” There was no point playing games. He was going to lay it all out for her. “I want to take you knowing you’re mine. And only mine. I want a relationship with you. I want to introduce you to my family. I want to claim you as my woman. Until you’re ready for all that ... we have to wait.”
He watched her suck in a deep breath. That’s when she lowered her eyes. Her bra was now readjusted, and her vest pulled back up. Ruining his view.
She was quiet for a while. Long enough for Zach to start questioning his sanity. When she did finally speak, her voice shook. “I think you should go.”
Fuck.
