Worth the Wait (Crimson Romance) by Synithia Williams

didn’t understand it himself.
    “I want to introduce you to your sexuality. I can’t hold back any of my techniques if I were to do that,” he said.
    She frowned and he loved the way her nose crinkled up. “Maybe you shouldn’t do that. I should save something for my husband.”
    Jared checked his annoyance at the mention of a non-existent husband. “Number one, you have to know what you like so that you can tell your husband.”
    “He’ll know what to do.”
    “Men aren’t mind readers, Tasha. You have to say what you like, otherwise he’s going in blind. Just like your high school sweetheart. Number two, you love my kisses and I know you want me to kiss you everywhere.” He ran his hand slowly down her arm. Goose bumps raised on her soft skin, sending his already heated body went into overdrive.
    He bit back a smile — her thoughts were back on him.
    “I wouldn’t say that I love your kisses,” she said softly.
    “Well, I damn sure like yours.” He pulled her close and lowered his lips to hers. He couldn’t get enough of kissing her. He didn’t care that they were on the harbor surrounded by tourists. He’d ignored Monica’s calls offering easy ass ever since Tasha asked him to take her virginity, and he could barely walk straight from the constant arousal. He’d be damned if he got through the weekend without her feeling the same.
    His tongue glided back and forth over the fullness of her lower lip until she opened her mouth with a sigh. Wasting no time at all, his tongue slipped past her lips to kiss her fully. He loved every inch of her mouth until she was weak and clinging to him. Thoughts of doing the same to every fold of her lower lips caused his dick to throb and he pressed it against her, letting her feel just how hard she’d made him.
    “Get a room,” somebody called out.
    Tasha stiffened and tried to pull away but he didn’t let her. Instead, he leisurely ended the kiss, sucking gently on her lower lip before gradually letting it slide between his lips. Her eyes were like molten pools of caramel as she stared up at him. Damn, if they weren’t so exposed he’d hike up her dress and take it right here.
    “I think it’s time to stop the torture. Let’s go back to my condo and let me make love to you.” He’d never told a woman he wanted to make love to her. Let’s have sex, do it, or fuck were common phrases he’d used, but not make love. Yet, that was what he thought of with Tasha. He’d always been a giving sex partner, with women coming back for more, but he wanted to do more than pleasure Tasha’s body. He wanted to worship her body.
    “Let’s go.”
    He couldn’t stop the cocky grin from spreading his face. He grabbed her hand and nearly sprinted back to his place. There was no need to try and hide his anticipation, she wanted him just as much. He was going to make sure the feel of his body remained with Tasha for the rest of her life.

CHAPTER 13
    Tasha didn’t have time to think as Jared hurried the few blocks to his condo. It amazed her things could accelerate so quickly between the two of them. Thirty minutes had barely passed since she was hyperventilating as he’d held her. Now, she was just as anxious as he to get back to his place and, as he said, end the torture. Just thinking about him kissing every part of her body the way he’d kissed her mouth on the harbor had her on fire. Saying she should leave something for a future husband was her last attempt to keep herself from getting completely caught up in Jared’s spell.
    The inside of the lobby was a blur on the way to his condo. On his floor, Jared rushed inside and pulled her into his arms in a flash. In the next instant, his mouth was on hers and Tasha softened against him. He lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. Instead of carrying her to the bedroom, he placed her back against the wall and kissed her with as much tenacity as he’d done on the harbor. Every sweep of his tongue
