Desire mangled all rational thought. There was nothing there to gentle the way we touched each other.
Because those touches felt like my salvation.
I’d wanted them for so long and had found no peace in her presence for all those years. Having this one moment with her now felt like being granted a brief reprieve from a decade of purgatory. One of my own making, something I’d never really tried to escape.
And it was worth it now to have the taste of her on my tongue and the glory of her body in my hands.
I pushed a hand up her waist, past her ribs, until I brushed a thumb against the side of her breast. The warm weight of it had my mouth watering.
She tugged my mouth back to hers, whimpering when our tongues twined, when our lips pushed and pulled with heat and fervor and something messy and wild.
Zoe nipped at my bottom lip with her teeth, and my whole body shook. My hands tightened, my grip on her turning greedy and fierce, straddling a line that felt whisper thin.
We were pressed against the island, our bodies wound tight against each other, hands seeking and touching and memorizing, expressing something frantic that I didn’t want to name because if I thought about it too hard, I’d stop.
And I didn’t want to stop.
Zoe moaned into my mouth when I filled my hand with her breast over the cotton of her shirt.
No bra.
Only a thin layer of fabric between us, and it wasn’t enough to hide the hard point of her nipple. My thumb traced it. Over and over and over until it was her turn to shake.
Zoe tugged her hands away from where they traced the muscles of my stomach, then slowly curled her fingers over the front of my shorts, where I was in the most pain.
A tortured growl emerged from the deepest pits of my chest as I rocked my hips into her touch. There was no hesitation from this woman, and she’d be the death of me someday. Of that, I was sure.
And if I wasn’t careful, her hand around me would end everything in an embarrassingly premature fashion, simply by nature of how fucking badly I wanted her. How long I’d fantasized about this, in the dark of my room, under the heat of my shower.
It was always her, even when I tried to think about something, someone,anyoneelse.
Always Zoe.
Itwouldalways be Zoe too. There was no escaping it, even if I wanted to. I wasn’t sure I did anymore.
I’d suffer the want of her for the rest of my life without complaint.
She whimpered when I tore her hand off me, nipping at my bottom lip in retaliation, and I grinned. Against the impossibly soft skin at her wrist, I placed a sucking kiss, my eyes locked on hers.
Her chest heaved as she watched me, and the bottomless pools of her gaze had my head spinning.
Did she know how helpless I was? How quickly I’d fall to my knees to worship her?
She couldn’t possibly.
Zoe pulled her arm out of my grasp and cupped the side of my face, cradling the line of my jaw as she tugged me down.
With a groan, I took her mouth again.
Through endless sucking kisses, through tangled tongues and nipping teeth and abused lips, I gripped her hips in my hands and boosted her up onto the island. Zoe split her thighs around my hips, bracing her legs around my ass to tug me closer.
The added height allowed me to cup her face in my hands, weave my hands through her hair, and study the sweetness of her face. She grinned.
“You look a right mess,” I whispered against that smile.
Zoe exhaled shakily, tracing her thumb along my bottom lip. And her eyes ... they were on fire. “Why don’t you mess me up some more, then?” She kissed my lower lip, and my eyelids fluttered shut at the gentle touch. What a sweet undoing of my sanity this was. “Please, Liam.”
My bones rattled from the force of that whispered request.
