‘I hate that you were alone,’ he says huskily. ‘All this time.’
I don’t want him to be this gentle. This tender. I feel as if I don’t deserve it. I shiver and try to pull back. But he grabs my hips and holds me still.
‘I’m indulging you, Talia,’ he whispers fiercely. ‘You definitely should be indulged.’
‘Even though I didn’t tell you everything?’
‘I’ve forgiven you.’ He sighs roughly. ‘Maybe it’s time you forgive yourself on that.’ He sits up and takes off his tee shirt in a wide, whipping movement.
I stare at him—made emotional by his words and overwhelmed by the sight of his body. Yep, I slither deeper into lust with him. That should be impossible. It should. I never realised I could want him more. But I do.
Neither of us were completely naked in the gondola. I’ve never actually been naked in front of a man before. But I’m not shy—he’s always made this easy for me. And he’s stunning. His lips curve as he sees me staring.
‘I forgot,’ he mutters. ‘You like to look. You didn’t really get the chance last time.’
He slowly strips the rest of his clothes for me. I’m so blown away by him all I can do is lie on his bed and stare.
He comes back to lean over me. ‘You know you can touch if you want.’
I lift my hands and run them over his body but that’s all I can do because he’s back between my legs—teasing me so I’m only able to arch my hips closer and it’s so erotic and so intimate I gasp.
‘Let me indulge you,’ he murmurs. ‘Surrender to me, Talia.’
The sensations are so intense. I moan. Loudly.
He suddenly lifts away, rising up to kiss my mouth. Thoroughly. I stare at him questioningly when he lifts away to look into my eyes.
‘Can’t wake Lukas,’ he murmurs in explanation. ‘Don’t want this interrupted before we’ve hardly begun.’
I’ve forgotten our son is sleeping in the room just down the hall—how terrible of me. He reads my mind and laughs again.
‘You’re allowed a little time for yourself,’ he says. ‘And you’re definitely allowed a lot of time for me.’
That mix of arrogance and confident sensuality melts me. He moves back down my body and laughs again when he tastes for himself the effect his words have had on me.
‘You’re so deliciously responsive, Talia.’
That just makes me respond even more. I melt with his approval. And he works more than his tongue. He lets his fingers talk too. I gasp and bite down into the soft pillow to muffle my sighs and it’s seconds, mere seconds, before I come hard.
I’m breathless but I know what I want—what I need—now. ‘Dain.’
He glances up at me, a picture of hedonism sprawled between my legs. But as he sees my expression he frowns. ‘Are you sure you’re ready? It’s not too soon?’
‘It’s not soon enough,’ I mutter desperately. ‘Please.’
He flashes a tense smile at me. ‘Okay.’
He leaves me for a moment and shoots me a rueful glance as he gets protection but, honestly, I’m too busy enjoying watching him get ready for me.
‘I’ve also got protection of my own now,’ I whisper, not wanting to hold anything back from him now. ‘I talked it over with my doctors after Lukas’s birth and they thought it might help regulate my cycle.’ Which would make managing one thing a little easier.
‘Two forms of protection is good,’ he says gruffly.
‘I think so too.’ I smile at him.
He returns to the bed. I bite my lip—excited and a little apprehensive. He’s big and strong and I’m neither. But he pulls me into his arms, sweeping a hand down my back, moulding me into his hard heat. I moan. He rolls, pinning me beneath him, and coaxes my legs further apart.
‘You want me?’
