the walls she’d built. Her body had become a stranger, one that wallowed in the arousal, in the pleasure coursing through her in spite of the niggling fear clinging to her.
Every touch pushed against her defenses, driving her higher. The thick pillows beneath her head offered some respite to her emotions. The scent of his aftershave clung to the pillowcases as she buried her face into them, the spicy warmth stealing through her.
Through the pillows she could barely make out his muffled words, her body writhing, twisting on the satin. Beneath the warm cocoon they provided, she could breathe, could regain a sense of detachment. It wasn’t her body burning for him, wasn’t her legs parting beneath his gentle touch. A startled scream choked her when he whisked the down-filled cover away from her face, exposing her to his probing gaze.
Dark and stormy, the lust in his eyes seared her. She whimpered at the sensation of his fingers trailing across her body. Her hips lifted when his touch dipped beneath the elastic of her underwear, sliding over sensitive flesh. She shuddered as his fingers slid through the curls between her legs. She shivered at the faint chill when he exposed her swollen, soaked folds to the air.
“Jack…”
“Shh.” His shadow moved, lifted something in his hand. Her eyes widened at the glistening bottle, fear rising like a wave. She rolled slightly to the side, her thighs coming together only to bite off a scream when he slid the bottle across her heated skin, the icy contents spilling across her chest. Sucking in a desperate breath, she lurched upward, her hands free for a moment.
As quick as the icy water washed over her breasts, the heat of his mouth soaked through the chill when he lapped up the liquid. His tongue laved at her breast, flicking rapidly at the nipple until she was ready to scream.
“Please, oh God, please.” Gillian couldn’t believe it was her voice begging. She squeezed her eyes tight against the rising tide of arousal. The muscles in her thighs ached with tension. The coil tightened until it was unbearable within her lower belly. Her hands trembled. Knuckles white, she pulled on the sheets, gathering them like a cloak around her.
Languid, sweet, the sweep of his fingers expanded, circling along her abdomen until they reached the waistband of her panties. Calloused fingertips slid against her core once again, sending waves of pleasure coursing through her body. Tighter, tighter, she sobbed helplessly with the need. She sank her teeth into her bottom lip and bit down, the pain minor and easily forgotten.
Her hips lurched, arching into his touch as he dipped his tongue into her navel before sliding down. The short hairs on his neck tickled the inside of her thighs, his fingers plucking at the elastic on her panties as he moved them aside. Stuttering in protest, she gasped when he dipped his tongue between the petals of her womanhood. Leisure, firm, the press of his tongue on her swollen folds drew a strangled squeak.
“Nn ugh.” She swallowed against the pleasure when he flicked her clit with his tongue. A flare of dismay darted through her when he pulled back. A whine of protest escaped as she inched back, torn between closing her legs and begging him to continue. Her protests evaporated when he all but ripped her panties off, the fabric tearing under his touch.
A moment later, her breasts heaving with uneven breaths, she cried out at the agonizing sweep of his tongue over her lips before he leaned back. She struggled to see what he was doing and silently cursed her vision at the blurry movements he made. It only took a split second for realization to dawn when he leaned down. Icy fluid sluiced over the heated flesh between her legs when he pressed his lips to her labia. Surprise danced through her building arousal, her body undulating as he pressed his cold mouth to her. The rapid movement of his tongue had her on the edge again, her whimpers and groans getting louder
