I swallowed. “Yes,” I rasped.
There was a long moment that stretched like an elastic band between us before his hand fell away from my cheek. He gripped me by the hips and rocked into me. “Whatever you want. I mean that.”
“I know you do,” I said between ragged gasps.
“Do you want me to stay tonight?”
I swallowed and nodded. Seconds later, we were tumbling from one kiss into the next. I could barely breathe as my pulse rushed through my body. At some point, I broke away.
I didn’t even know what I needed other than—everything, all of him.
He lifted me off his lap and stood. “You’re wearing too many clothes,” I managed to say.
His chuckle sent goosebumps rising in a prickle all over.
“We’re in agreement on that.” His fingers began to unbutton my blouse.
For the first time in months, I’d worn something other than what I’d thrown on when I woke up, which was usually sweatpants and a T-shirt. I’d worn a blouse and slacks. Maybe dressier than necessary for work-casual in Alaska, but I’d wanted the change of pace.
His actions galvanized me, and I shoved his T-shirt up his chest. He gave me a little assist, lifting it up over his head in a quick swoop while I unbuttoned his jeans.
It was practically a race at that point as we yanked at each other’s clothes. My blouse fell to the floor and I shimmied out of my slacks, hooking my hands over my panties at the same time.
Griffin chuckled, murmuring, “You are efficient, Tish.”
“I’m all about being efficient,” I teased.
I felt the surface of his palm as he slid it up my belly to hook his thumb under the clasp of my bra and snap it loose. I shoved his boxers down, and he was reaching for me as he sat back down on the couch. Just as I moved to straddle him, he held me still.
“Wait.” His voice was ragged.
“For what?”
“A condom,” he nearly choked out.
He reached around me to where his jeans had fallen on the edge of the couch and fished out his wallet and then a condom. I wanted to dispute the point and tell him I had an IUD now. Because, holy hell, even though I adored Teddy, I would never again rely on condoms for birth control.
A moment later, Griffin was rolling the condom on, his eyes on mine the whole time as he protected us both.
His hands fell to my hips. “You could still change your mind, you know,” he said.
“If you make me wait any longer…” I warned.
The fire in his eyes sizzled as he shifted and reached between us. I rose up when he positioned his thick crown at my entrance. Locked in his gaze, I could barely breathe at the feel of him filling me in a slow, slick slide. He seated himself fully with a subtle thrust of his hips upward.
“Oh, sweetness,” he murmured. He gripped my hips, holding me in place when I began to move restlessly. “Give me a minute.”
The moment was intense, a tangle of intimacy, fierce passion, and an almost primal sense of need spiraling through me. He leaned forward, catching my lips in a slow, sensual kiss. When he drew back, he rocked his hips upward. Everything began to speed up, one wave rolling into the next. The pleasure began to tighten like a knot inside of me, clenching at my core. Little pings of pleasure radiated outward from the friction created where we were joined.
I gasped, biting my lip, as I felt myself teetering on the edge.
“Oh, Tish…” Griffin released one of my hips and reached between us to tease his fingers over my slippery, swollen clit.
He gave me just enough pressure to topple me over that edge I was racing toward. Everything pulled tight to an almost unbearable pressure before snapping free. I shattered inside, the waves crashing through me as I cried his name.
I felt his fingers pressing on my hips as he filled me once more. On the heels of a deep thrust, he threw his head back and shuddered with me. He cried my name in a gruff shout.
My own climax was ricocheting through me as we trembled together. The force of it slowed.
