rephrase that. “Okay, anywhere we both mutually decide to go.”
“Do you have a place in mind?”
She felt a little bit giddy and a whole lot bold. “Why don’t you kiss me, and we’ll find out?”
He did. A coaxing kiss, but very persuasive. He sent his palms down her sides slowly then back up again and paused precariously close to her breasts. She could tell him to stop, or she could encourage him to go. She wanted him to go, not stop.
More brazen than she’d ever been before, Sunny reached back and unfastened the clasp at her back, then loosened the tie at her neck, allowing the swimsuit top to drop and float away.
Apparently aware that she was now bare from the waist up, Rayad broke the kiss and favored her with a knowing smile. He cupped her breasts, circling his thumbs around her nipples while seemingly studying all the details. She wasn’t overly endowed like her twin, but the gentle way he treated her, she couldn’t care less.
Never had she let a man she’d known for such a short time go this far this fast. Did that make her more like her mother than she cared to admit? She didn’t want to think about that now. She stopped thinking altogether when Rayad lowered his head and replaced one hand with his lips.
The sensations were remarkable, from the pull of his mouth to the flick of his tongue. Waves of heat washed over her and settled between her thighs. As if Rayad sensed that, he pulled her legs up around his waist, bringing her in close contact with his very impressive erection. Then he began to move her up and down against his groin, creating a friction that brought her close to the edge of climax. If he kept it up, she would start making a few primitive sounds, or beg him to put her out of her misery. Then he had the audacity to stop moving altogether.
After Rayad set her back on her feet, Sunny bit her tongue to keep from cursing. “Nothing quite like getting turned on then immediately turned off.”
He swept a hand over the back of his neck. “That was not my intention. If I had my way, I would have taken you here without formality.”
That sounded like a good plan to her. “Why didn’t you?”
“I am not certain this is what you want.”
She crossed her arms over her bare breasts and blew out an impatient sigh. “Believe me, I’m not that good at faking it.”
He retrieved her top that was floating nearby and handed it to her. “When a person has a brush with death or suffers a loss, at times they search for any means to remind themselves they are still alive.”
She redressed and refastened her suit, all the while battling frustration. “Is that truly what you think I’m doing?”
“I believe it is possible.”
She viewed his concerns as an affront to her character. “For your information, I’m not the kind of woman who goes searching for just anyone to meet my needs, physical or emotional. If I didn’t trust you, I would never even consider crossing the intimacy line. Believe it or not, I do trust you, Rayad, and I want you more than I’ve wanted any man in a long time, even Cameron. If that’s crazy, then I’m certifiable. But I can’t help how I feel.”
Some unnamed emotion reflected from his eyes. “I truly appreciate your continued faith in me, yet trust should be earned.”
“You earned it when you halted our little interlude because you’re worried about me. However, something tells me there’s more to your worries than whether or not I’m ready. Maybe you’re the one who isn’t ready.”
He took her hands in his and gave her a meaningful look. “It has been some time since I have been with a woman, yet my concerns lie solely with your well-being. If you decide we should enjoy each other from a carnal standpoint, you may rest assured I will grant you an experience that you will not soon forget. Although I am not averse to lovemaking in various places, our first time should be in a proper bed.”
