“I want this,” I said much more confidently this time. “I’ve thought about this so many times, thought of sharing a night just like this.” I took a deep breath. “I don’t want to be scared of moving forward anymore, but instead I want to jump in head first.”
My confession seemed to surprise him, his eyes widening a small fraction before he recovered quickly.
“Let’s jump in together.” The tension in my chest faded when he reached out and pulled my body over his as he lay back on the blanket behind him. “I’m with you, Allison, right here with you.”
My body molded to his, his words covered me like a blanket making me feel safe and protected.
“You make my heart race.” I felt it too, that crazy thump, that can’t breathe feeling. “You mean the world to me, sweet girl. You make me want so many things all at once. And you make me want them all with you.”
I closed my eyes tightly to keep myself from emotionally falling apart. I’d wanted so much to hear those very things from Rhett. I’d dreamed of being everything to him; I’d already let myself fall for him long before I think he even knew I’d existed.
I rose up, gathering the hem of his shirt in my hands and slowly began to lift, exposing his abs. As he raised his shoulders, his stomach muscles tensed, and I bit my lower lip to keep from moaning. Thoughts of kissing over each ridge rang throughout my mind. He was fit, absolutely perfect in my eyes.
My own shirt quickly followed, my bra joining too as Rhett looked up at me, his gaze roaming over my chest appreciatively. The very instant he placed his palms against my stomach and began sliding upward, I arched, pressing my chest outward in anticipation.
I’d half expected him to cup my breast hungrily, only he paused just beneath, lifting his thumbs to graze over my nipples. A moan fell from my lips and echoed over the space.
They hardened, and he slowly brought his mouth closer, taking one between his lips, sucking lightly. I felt like I was on fire, my hips bucking forward, drawing a moan from him as he gripped my waist.
“Slow, baby,” he directed as he pushed his erection upward and used his hands to guide me slowly, creating a small amount of friction between us. “We have all night.”
Oh my god, I wasn’t sure I could wait.
“I just want to take my time with you.”
No, now, please now.
Rhett’s arm circled my waist and very carefully he moved me off him, placing me on the blanket beneath us. I looked up at him, as he still remained on his knees, looking over me slowly. A few silent seconds passed before he lowered his hands to the waistband of his jeans and began to unbutton them tauntingly slow.
The guy better move before I attack him.
My mind was running rabid with all the things I wanted to do to him and the things I’d hoped he’d do to me.
When I fumbled for my own button, he reached out and placed his hand over mine to stop me. “Let me.” He’d never looked at me the way he was looking at me then. It was euphoric, my heart hammering in my chest, my breathing erratic. My legs shook as I moved my hands away just as he leaned forward and took over.
I was mesmerized by the hungry look in his eyes as he began to lower my jeans. His stare raked over me, inch by inch. “So fucking perfect.”
I wasn’t sure his words were meant for me to hear, but the silence of the space made them seem louder than intended.
Rhett continued his torture as he kissed over one hipbone to the other. His hands glided over my thighs. I’d never felt so out of control, like I was unable to curb my urges. There were sweet kisses over my stomach just before he hooked my panties and slowly began to lower them.
“Damn.” Another appreciative moan left his mouth and I felt something inside me snap.
“I need you,” I practically begged. “I can’t wait.”
“Me either.” I was happy to hear he’d felt weak too.
Rhett leaned back, gathering his jeans as he removed his wallet from his back pocket and began shuffling through it. Pulling a condom out, he dropped the rest to the ground and moved closer once again.
“Tell me you’ll stay all night,” he asked, looking down at me, his hands paused at his waist. “Because after this I don’t think I’ll be able to let you go home.”
“I’ll stay.” There was no way anyone could drag me away.
Once he was sheathed, he again looked down at me and I nodded my head, assuring him I wanted this more than anything I’d ever wanted before. He seemed pleased with my eagerness and began lowering his body over mine, positioning his erection between my thighs.
His chest rose and fell as he took one deep breath after another. My breathing matched his as I waited. The moment I felt him press against me, I lifted my hips and took another inch, making him tense as his muscles tightened.
“Please,” I panted.
He lifted his head, looking away from the space between us, and his eyes locked with mine.
After a few seconds, he removed his hand from his cock and lowered his body completely to mine, his lips covering mine in a heated kiss. I wiggled beneath him, begging for all of him, and he slammed forward as my back arched off the floor.
“Fuck.” He took the word right out of my mouth. “Allison.” He growled my name as he lowered his head to my shoulder and took in one deep
