She grinned down at him and proceeded to pull his jeans down his hips so he could kick them off his legs. His erection, now free from the confines of the tight jeans, bulged invitingly behind the briefs. “Mm, baby. Looking good tonight,” she said, before licking her lips.
Mike groaned then sat up to pull her close. He slipped his hands under her dress. “Now you.” He took the time to caress both her silk-clad butt cheeks with his hands before lifting the clingy black knit of her dress over her head. His arms dropped to unclasp the front closing black lace bra, freeing her glorious pale orbs from their bondage. Leaning forward, he covered one nipple with his mouth while brushing his thumb lightly over the other.
Angelique’s breath released in a quick rush of air as Mike growled low in his throat, sending a frisson of need coursing through her.
In one quick movement, he had her on her back as he leaned over with his weight on his left elbow. He kissed her again, letting his right hand familiarize itself with all the parts of her body it had missed out on up until this moment. “Mmmm…” he growled. “You’re in for a real treat, lady.”
“I seem to remember you treating me a couple dozen times over the last month,” she said.
“Yeah, but I’ve got my right hand back now,” he said, slipping off her black silk panties with one swift movement.
“Oh…oh…my…” Angelique sighed with pleasure as he began a skillful exhibition of manual dexterity. Within a few short minutes he brought her to the precipice of need and over the edge. “Oh…Mike,” she moaned low in her throat, before her insides clenched and shattered from the monumental climax.
“Geeeeze…” she groaned, with a last prolonged shudder, panting and straining for enough mental capacity to regain her power of speech. “What were you doing down there?”
His laughter rumbled deep in his chest. “It’s a matter of having the touch. Kind of like when you make a wine glass sing.”
She whimpered as he kissed her, starting the slow burn all over again.
“Hey, babe?”
“Mmm?” She indeed felt like a fine crystal wineglass he’d ‘played’ perfectly.
“I’m good with my left hand…”
“Yes indeed,” she purred.
“But with my right, I’m better.”
“Mm…you are…perfection…is what you are,” she said, reaching over to remove his briefs before straddling him.
“I’ll take that,” he said. “And I’ll take this, too.” He placed both large hands around her waist to pull her forward. “You have no idea how badly I’ve wanted to touch you like this…to do this with both hands over the last month,” he said, lifting her until she’d settled around him, encompassing the considerable length and breadth of him.
She sighed with satisfaction, loving the feeling of him deep inside her. “Oh…I think I do.” She began to move slowly, gliding over skin slick with her own pleasure, riding him until they were both panting, both grasping—reaching for release—and finding it together.
Afterward, they lay entwined, snuggling close, as heartbeats calmed, gasps reverted to deep, even breathing, their needs satisfied, and sated…for now, at least.
“Angel,” he whispered.
“Hmm?”
“I doubt I’ll ever be a rich man.”
“No, huh?” Her face registered feigned surprise.
“Smart ass. This is serious business.”
“Why would you think I’d ever want to be rich?”
“Doesn’t everybody these days?”
Her fingers toyed with the dark silky hair on his chest. “In my younger days I may have thought that was important. Now I know better.” She craned her neck to see him, to touch the face of the man she adored. “I just need love, and everything that goes along with it.”
“Like what?”
“Honesty, trust, fidelity…”
“Oh, you mean I can’t go chasing skirt with the guys anymore?” He made an attempt to look upset about it.
“You can try, but you may want to think twice.”
“Why’s that?” He raised himself on one elbow to gaze down into her beautiful green eyes.
“Well.” She traced her nail gently along his jawline. “I hear male castration is quite painful, especially without anesthesia.” Laughter rumbled in his chest, causing a deep, stirring need in her to be as close as possible to him.
“Just as I thought.”
A moment later her mouth found and melded with his in a lingering kiss.
She pulled back slowly, finished the caress with a gentle tug and nip at his lower lip.
He rolled onto his back, using his left arm to bring her with him. She rose above him again then lowered her head so that her dark hair fanned out across his chest. “What was it you were thinking?” She purred, enjoying his reaction to her kiss.
“Like I was saying, I always suspected my Angel had a little devil in her. Are you gonna be one of those wives who gives her husband trouble?” He groaned, as her long, silky locks skimmed the super sensitive skin of his chest, abs, and belly.
She lifted herself to stare into eyes the color of rich dark chocolate, thankful for the fates that had brought this man to her.
“Some, I’m sure. But I’m willing to bet it’ll never be more than a man like you can handle.” She trailed her finger over his chiseled abs. “So, what do you think, big man? Are you worried?”
Mike slipped his hand to the back of her neck and gently tugged her closer. He gave her a devastatingly handsome grin before answering in his deep, rich rumble of sexy baritone.
“About you and me? Not even a little.”
Thank you for letting me share Green Eyed Temptation with you. I hope you enjoyed reading all about Angelique, Mike, and Liam.
