started to speak as she hiccupped through her last bought of tears. She told Ian everything that had happened with Tim and her insecurities about her own self image.
Other than a few curses, Ian had listened silently. His body tensed whenever she told him something that left her vulnerable. When she finished his arms tightened protectively around her, as though trying to keep away anything that hurt her.
"I'm so sorry he hurt you, sweetheart." He stroked her hair, easing all of her tension away. "I'm also glad he left you for me. I adore you. Everything about you is perfect." He hesitated a moment before he added casually, "If you just tell me where he lives...I'll teach him a lesson about how to treat a lady."
It was so innocent and so totally Ian that Abbie burst out laughing. "That's very kind of you, my valiant knight." God...she adored his alpha male side sometimes and when it was being used to come to her defense, it really made her hot. She had no doubt he would slay all of her dragons if she let him. "Maybe later."
Not! There was no way in hell I would ever tell him any more about Tim . Her precious Ian would probably end up in jail.
He laid her back on the pillow and trailed his tongue along her collarbone. "While I love this gown, it's time for it to go."
He cupped her breasts through the silky material, lowering his head to tongue her nipples. He laved until the material was wet and clinging. His hands caressed while his mouth nipped and stroked.
Abbie squirmed, feeling the electric sensations of his touch down to her core. When his hands went to strip her of the silky gown, she hesitated unconsciously before she reminded herself that this was Ian. He had exposed himself completely to her. She could do no less. She helped him remove it, wanting to feel skin to skin contact.
"You're so beautiful, baby. So lush, so ripe." He took her nipple into his mouth and the feel of his warm lips against her naked breast made her release a moan of longing. "It's time we took care of your little problem," he whispered against her breast.
His mouth tormented as his hands caressed her body, finding every sensitive spot, molding over her ample curves. When he stroked her slit against her panties, she nearly exploded.
"You're so wet, so ready to be taken, baby," his breath was coming hard and fast as he slid his hand into her panties and stroked her.
"Oh, God. Ian." Abbie panted and lifted her hips.
His strokes were long and slow, enough to make Abbie crazy. He grazed her clit, moving along her wet pussy in teasing caresses. He licked lazily down her belly, flicking his tongue into her belly button. As he sat up to pull off her panties, he spread her legs apart.
Abbie knew what was coming and she closed her eyes. As the first touch of his tongue delved into her needy core she grasped his head and pulled him to her. She could hear his laugh rumbling against her and she shivered.
His tongue was expert and his mouth scorching. Abbie was whimpering and lifting her hips as he circled her clit. "Please, Ian. Please."
He stopped teasing and nudged aside the tiny hood covering her pearl. He lashed at it with firm, fast flicks that had her squirming and thrashing her head. Heat consumed her entire body and she felt like she was going to implode.
He found her empty channel with his large, long fingers and immediately found her sweet spot. Ian pumped into her in time with his seeking tongue, sending her into a state of ecstasy.
His teeth closed lightly over her clit and she was gone. She moaned as spasm after spasm hit her, sending her mind whirling and her body soaring.
She pulled his head against her pussy, riding the waves pounding through her. She knew she was screaming his name with abandoned, but she didn't care. It felt too damn good to care about anything.
Ian lapped at her creamy eruption until he was satisfied that she was spent. She was
