not give in to this need it would only make their passion grow to the point of insanity.
Like an itch the needed to be scratched, she could not resist.
She gave a slow nod, with a shy smile that crossed her lips. The look of utter surprise that took over Chris’s features had already made the decision worth it. He had honestly expected her to decline.
“Are you sure?” She could tell that he was battling the same choices that she was. Unfortunately, they had both already had a sample of what it meant to be together and neither could ignore the desire to experience it properly this time.
“Yes, I’m sure.” Her voice was barely more than a whisper.
Chris cleared his throat and moved to unlock the door. He made some comment about how he had beer and wine in the refrigerator, but Natalie was not listening.
The moment she heard the door click shut behind her, she spun on her heel and pressed her lips against his. She had expected resistance, or at least confusion, but Chris met her with a hunger that matched her own.
She curled her fingers into the collar of his shirt and pulled herself against him. The pressure of their bodies was a study of opposites. They were heat and ice, hard and soft, smooth and rugged all at the same time. Natalie’s mind was overwrought with sensation.
There was no point in waiting, she told herself. This was the call between their souls that needed to be answered. This was the reason she was here. She knew it. He knew it. There was no point in prolonging the inevitable.
She picked at the buttons of his shirt until she had opened the front completely. Her hands slipped inside and she nearly groaned when they met the hardened muscles and heated skin. Had she known that he was not wearing an undershirt, she probably would have ripped it open much earlier in the night.
She could hear, and feel, Chris’s chuckle against her mouth. She did not care if he found her impatience amusing. At this very moment, her mind was focused only on one thing. Their mutual satisfaction.
Her hands slipped to the clasp of his jeans and Chris’s laughter died on his lips. With a sudden ferocity that he had yet to exhibit previously, he slipped an arm beneath her knees and lifted her with an ease that surprised her.
The next thing that she knew, she was being gently eased down onto a plain blue coverlet. She could not have told you the path the led from the main door to the bedroom. She had been much too focused on exploring the rigid muscles and tendons of Chris’s neck and shoulders.
Natalie shimmied out of her own jeans, discarding her underwear at the same time. She peeled her shirt over her head and unclasped her bra, reveling in the pleasure of the freedom of her heavy breasts.
Chris’s pupils contracted and his grin showed blatant appreciation for her body.
She lay back among the pillows and waited for her lover to join her. This time, they would have much more freedom to explore one another. This time, she fully intended on memorizing every detail of his body and the sensations that passed between them.
Much like everything else in his life, Chris threw himself into their lovemaking with gusto. His hands massaged and kneaded every inch of her skin, from her tired legs to the corded tension of her neck. By the time he was finished, her entire body felt like a melted stick of butter.
When she thought he was finished, his mouth took over the path that his hands had just traced. His tongue flicked over her sensitive skin. His breath rippled over the areas that had been dampened by his mouth, causing a chill to race across her skin.
She had closed her eyes, enjoying the pure sensation of his touch along her body. It was for that reason that she had not been prepared for his mouth to settle over the aching heat where her legs joined together.
Her body jerked and a hand rushed downward to block his actions.
Chris raised his head with an amused grin.
“Haven’t you ever…” he began, but she
