Excerpt

The feel of Colton's skin on mine is more than I ever imagined it would be. God, it's so much more. I should have known that the sexual attraction between us was so alluring for a reason, but this is unbelievable. It's like he knows my body better than I do. I've never reacted this way before; it's surreal. I'm afraid it's going to end, and I'm not ready to feel the lack of Colton against me. Instead, I want more. I reach down and grab at the button on his jeans. He stills on top of me and pulls away from my face. He looks into my eyes and then shakes his head.

"Not today, babe," he says fiercely and reaches for my hand and pins it above my head. Okay, not what I was going for, but this is pretty nice too.

"Why not?" I whisper against his neck and then press my lips to his pulse.

"I told you earlier. I'm going to take my time with you. I want to get to know your body, slowly." He grabs my hand and pins it alongside my other. His lips meet mine again in a tantalizing but leisurely tempo. I nibble at his bottom lip and draw the metal ring into my mouth, flicking my tongue across the warm metal.

He moans into my mouth as I let go of the ring. He starts nibbling on my lower lip, pulling it and teasing it with his teeth. "Please," I beg and push my body against his.

He smiles and places a peck on my lips. "As hot as it is that you want it, not tonight," he says with ardor and then pulls me up. I sit up, ad he sits across from me. He runs his hand along my neck and down my chest, grips my hips, and pulls me onto his lap.

"You have no idea how long I've been wanting to kiss you," he says sincerely and bites my shoulder.

I throw my head back while his lips skim the skin to my chin. "Me too," I reply roughly. I didn't even know my voice could sound like that; I'm so out of breath.

"It exceeded my expectations," he says against my skin.
