couch. He needed to touch her, to taste her.
Kale made his way into the design room, wading through the dark until his shins hit the couch. He lowered Ronnie down and didn’t hesitate sliding on top of her. Her body was tiny underneath him regardless of her height, and she molded into the black leather as he pressed his lips to her shoulder.
He wanted to pull her clothes from her body and bury himself inside her until she screamed his name and he passed out from pleasure, but he knew that he couldn’t; not yet at least. But making her scream out his name, that he could do right now.
Kale’s mouth traced over the side of her neck until it reached her ear. “I want to feel you,” he whispered, cupping her through her thin cotton pants.
Her breath hitched and he took it as a yes. He brushed his fingers over her smooth stomach, reveling in the feel of her body trembling from his touch. He slipped his hand under the waist of her pants and inched his hand down until it reached the warmth he was craving. He cursed to himself when he felt the small amount of lace that was covering her. He had an urge to slip those damn pants off her long legs so he could look at the tempting material that was covering so very little of her, but he knew he was bound to lose his control if his eyes were involved.
His thumb softly skimmed over the lace and he could feel how ready she was for him. He smiled against her neck, loving the way her body responded to him. He pushed the lace aside and gently slid his fingers inside her. He sucked in a breath when she instantly tightened around him. Damn, she felt good. It had been way too long since he had felt a woman’s body like this.
Ronnie’s head fell back and her body rocked against his hand as he rotated his fingers, finding the exact spot that seemed to drive her senseless. He stayed there, stroking her with the tips of his fingers, begging her to quiver beneath him.
Little breathy moans escaped her lips and with each stroke. Kale’s chest tightened and his resolve started slipping farther and farther away.
“I need to taste you, and I need to do it now,” Kale said, lifting his head from Ronnie’s neck so he could look her in the eyes, all the while keeping his fingers in place.
He drove farther inside her and rubbed the heel of his palm against her. She moaned again, only it wasn’t breathy and quiet this time and he knew she was getting close. He slowed his fingers, keeping his eyes on her, waiting for permission.
“Please,” she whispered.
“Please what, baby?”
“Yes. Now, please,” she begged, and he loved that he made this hard ass woman beg for him.
Wasting no more time, he withdrew his fingers and trailed his hands down her legs until they reached her ankles.
“I hate to see these go,” he said, slipping her cherry red heels from her feet. He lifted her foot to his mouth and licked a path from the inside of her heel to her toe. She giggled softly and it was a sweet sound, one he very much liked making her do, and one he was sure she didn’t do often.
He put her foot down and did the same to the other until both heels were off and he was slipping her pants from her hips.
“Maybe I can get you to keep those shoes on for me sometime,” he said with a smirk planted firmly on his face.
Ronnie glowered at him, her eyes squinting into slits, causing Kale to laugh. “Okay, okay,” he said, although he was damn sure gonna try. Those heels were too hot not to see them paired with her naked body. The thought almost made him put them back on her, almost, but the need to get his mouth on her won out.
He pulled the skintight fabric from her body and looked at her using the light from the hallway to aid his eyes, and fuck those legs were sexy before but seeing them now, bare and beautiful, had him second-guessing his imagination because this was even better than he thought. They were long, delicate, and creamy. The idea of them wrapped around his body again came to
