giggle.
“Nothing,” I said, my smile strengthening to a grin. “Absolutely nothing.”
Then, without a second thought, I leaned up and kissed him square on the mouth.
Chapter 6
The few minutes after I kissed Tom became a blur even as they were happening. Tom kissed me back, with more passion than I’d ever seen him muster for anything else, but his hands hadn’t touched me even then. I pulled them to me. As we parted, I dragged him up to my apartment, heedless of the people around me and Tom. There was a want in my stomach, a deep, hot want, and it would not be denied.
Inside the apartment I kissed Tom again, tugging his head down to mine with my fingers buried in his hair. He wrapped his arms around my waist and lifted me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist and groaned into his mouth. It was nothing to him, and he didn’t even stumble from my weight. I guided him to my room with mumbled words against his lips.
We tumbled back onto my bed a moment later. With my hands, I scooted back to my headboard, grinning. He grinned back, his face was flushed. I knew mine was too. Tom went to stroke my leg, but stopped just short.
“Is it all right if I touch you?” he asked. I blinked, remembering what I’d said to him before, and nodded, pressing my lips together.
“Yes,” I said, thankful that he’d asked. Tom nodded back and his hands slid up my bare, soaking legs. As his fingers skimmed my shorts, I let my head fall back against my pillows. His hands were rough and calloused. His gaze so strong I could feel it more than see it. His hands found my shorts and he ran a finger across the inseam. I pressed my lips together. He pressed a bit harder and found my sex. A hiss passed through my lips.
Tom chuckled, a low sound that lodged a lump in my throat. I gasped. His mouth pressed into the inseam, nuzzling and pressing deeper. A moan escaped me. Then his mouth was gone and I looked down to find him smiling up at me. He slid up the bed, hands running up my sides, and nudged at my shirt. I pulled it off without a second thought. His mouth found my neck and he pressed hot, wet kisses to my collar bone. Another moan left me and I tipped my head so he could get better access. Heat rushed around my body, my heart pounded in time with my want. A wanting so powerful it made me see spots and filled me to my core.
Tom unhooked my bra and we tossed it aside. I was naked from the waist up, but he was still fully dressed. “That’s just not fair,” I murmured, reaching for his shirt. He twitched out of my reach and shook his head. His head came back down and his usually grim set mouth latched onto one of my erect nipples. I gasped, a sharp sound that followed me as I arched into his touch. Pleasure danced across my body, lighting a fire in my veins. I wanted more. No. I needed more.
My hands found his hair and buried deep into the short, dark strands. “Tom,” I moaned, the sound stuttering off as he let his teeth just barely graze my sensitive skin. It was a thousand sparks dancing across my body, each tipped with pleasure. “Tom!” And it had been so long since I’d have any company in this bed other than my hand that I didn’t care if I sounded desperate. But, if the rumble that came from Tom’s throat was any indication, he didn’t really care.
Tom hooked one thumb into my shorts and had them, my socks, and my shoes off in one quick movement. “Navy teach you to do that?” I asked.
“In a matter of speaking.” His attention returned to my neck. One of his calloused hands ran over a nipple, giving it a light pinch before rubbing tight circles around and over it. I arched into the touch, letting my fingers run down his covered back. They slid back up and found his hair again. One of Tom’s hands slid lower, into my panties, and tugged them off with a deft touch. He grinned into my neck as I wriggled with impatience.
His hand pressed into my sex
