protective.
Lexa leaned back and braced her hands on his chest. His
heart began thumping faster. "Do you see what you do to me?" he
asked.
She reached for the hem of his shirt and lifted it over his
head. He helped her and dropped it on the floor. When she ran her hands
across his chest, down to his waistband, he shuddered. And when she said,
"You do the same thing to me," he reached for the hem of her sweater.
After pulling it over her head, he combed her hair into
place with his fingers. "I love your hair. It's so soft and so
natural." His hands cruised down her arms and back up. He unhooked her
bra and stared. "Your skin's so white, so delicate. You're as beautiful
on the outside as you are on the inside, Lexa. I want to touch you and know
every part of you."
Her eyes were wider and darker than he'd ever seen them.
"I'm going to please you, Josh. I want to give you what you want."
"You will, sweetheart. You will."
Josh's body stirred. She was so sensual and unafraid of her
sexuality or his. That in itself was a potent turn-on.
After they undressed each other, Josh laid a condom packet
on the nightstand, threw the covers back and laid down next to Lexa. He slid
his fingers under her hair while his thumbs caressed her neck. Softly, like
the spring rain kissing the earth, he showered small kisses over her face.
Lexa was surrounded by Josh's heat, his clean maleness, the
blue smoke in his eyes, the cosmic wonder of being in love. There was no past,
no future, only now. When he nudged her head towards his, she reached for him,
lost in his sensual drugging. She could never be immune to him. His breath
kissed her cheek an instant before his lips--warm, demanding, sharing--rested
on hers. His tongue flicked across their surface, patiently waiting for her to
give him entrance.
Josh couldn't hold back as his body surged toward Lexa's.
His hands seemed to be designed for the curves of her body as his tongue explored
the sweet recesses of her mouth. Sparks ricocheted in all directions and
pricked through every part of him.
Lexa linked her arms around Josh as he deepened the kiss.
Her heart skipped too many beats to count and heat burned between her thighs. Reality
exploded into another dimension where there was love, sensation, union. Lexa's
tongue met Josh's with unchecked hunger and she drew him down on top of her.
While his mouth plundered and seduced, his hands slid up her leg until he
encountered her navel. His thumb drew circles around it, teasing her, testing
her, inciting a firestorm of electricity.
Sliding her hand up his hip, Lexa felt his shiver as if it
were hers. Her palm found the small of his back where she played because she
discovered it drew from him an erotic response. His weight was heavy on top of
her, but a heaviness she welcomed because it sent waves of pleasure brewing
inside her. When he moved suggestively, she became bolder, moving her hand
between them in search of his manhood.
Josh shifted to his side and nudged her until she faced
him. His lips left hers and cascaded kisses over her cheeks down her neck to
her shoulder. His hand wandered to the nest of golden hair to test her
readiness. He taunted until a moan erupted from her throat. He asked raspily,
"Do you want me as much as I want you?"
"Yes," she responded breathlessly as her hand
enclosed him.
He stared at her, binding her to him with his eyes. "I
have never wanted a woman the way I want you."
"You're an incredibly sexy man."
"I need you, Lexa."
"Show me how much," she whispered.
His eyes darkened in the mellow glow of the lamp. "I
want to prolong this."
"That doesn't matter, Josh. Just love me and let me
love you."
His fingers quested up and down her back until he wove them
through her hair and pressed her head toward his. Kissing her was such a
sensual experience. Her kisses lasted, stayed with him, for him to savor when
she wasn't near. Her
