Unable to resist the curve of her shoulder, he bent to kiss her neck. Her breath hitched, and her lashes fell to shadow her cheek as her lips parted. When he was younger, his parents took him and Maya to a tree farm. As Cassidy’s cherry scent intensified on the air, he felt as if he were standing in the grove of cherry trees again with all their beautiful, pink blooms surrounding him and awe filling him.
Cassidy moaned when his mouth teased her skin and his tongue tasted her flesh. His fangs scraped her neck, and she braced herself for their prick, but it didn’t come. Instead, his fingers slid down her belly and toyed with the sweatpants he gave her to wear. She’d tied the strings, but they’d worked their way down her hips to reveal the edge of her lacy, red underwear.
She hadn’t dressed last night with the expectation of finding herself in his bed this morning, but she did have him in mind when she slipped on the sexy underwear and matching, see-through bra.
When he leaned back, Dante’s dick tightened as he saw the red underwear he explored last night. The bright color against her pale skin was like waving a red flag in front of a bull. He pushed the sweatpants lower to reveal the intricate holes within her underwear that did little to conceal the curve of her taut ass. Dante leaned into her again as he traced the tiny holes.
When she didn’t tell him to stop, he slid his hands between her legs and discovered her already wet. He had to ease her, and as he stroked her through the material, her scent and sounds ensnared him.
Cassidy didn’t know if she was ready for this, but she couldn’t stop it. She’d never felt anything as magnificent as his fingers caressing her and his cock pressing into her lower back.
All she could do was feel while in his arms, and the only thing she felt was the awakening of something new. She didn’t know what that awakening was, but she welcomed it. He tugged her underwear down and when she parted her legs to give him better access, he dipped his hand between her legs.
He caressed her clit until he had her on the verge of coming before delving a finger into her. The exquisite sensations he roused were almost too much to bear as the tension coiling in her stomach grew to higher levels.
When he kissed her neck again, she almost screamed as he teased her with the promise of his bite. But instead of easing her need, his hand slid away, and she whimpered in disappointment.
She didn’t have much time to feel disappointed as he rolled her onto her stomach and tugged her sweatpants and underwear down her hips and thighs.
Dante tossed the clothes aside, and his mouth watered as he gazed down at her half-naked form. She was exquisite with her ivory skin, taut ass, and long legs. He nudged her legs apart to kneel between them; he ran his hands over her shapely calves and thighs as he explored her body.
Unable to stand the feel of his boxers against his skin anymore, he removed them and tossed them aside. His erection stood out from his body as he resisted parting her legs further and burying himself inside her.
He wanted to fuck her until they couldn’t walk, but he also wanted to savor every second with her. He was finally going to have her; he had no doubt.
Cassidy tried to control the blush creeping over her skin as she felt his gaze on her. She’d never been this exposed to anyone, and she found herself trapped between self-consciousness and lust. When his hands touched her with a reverence that shook her, she forgot all about her embarrassment and uncertainty.
Dante’s heart thundered with excitement as he ran his hands up the small of her back. As he moved, he pushed up the T-shirt he’d given her. She’d looked unbelievably sexy in his clothes last night, but now they had to come off.
When he pushed the shirt higher, she lifted her arms, and with some maneuvering, he pulled it free. Leaning back, he ran his hands over her rib cage before skimming his fingers across the side of one of her breasts. Lowering himself over her, he clasped her hands and held them near her head as he traced her spine with his tongue.
Cassidy’s fingers clenched around his as the growing ache between her legs became almost unbearable. She wanted this to end, but it couldn’t stop. She could spend the rest of her life in this bed, with him, and be completely happy.
Dante released her hands to clasp her hips and lift her off the bed. He nipped at her shoulder before gripping his shaft and guiding it into her. His blood thundered in his ears. He’d planned to explore and learn every inch of her, but he couldn’t wait any longer. Next time, he would draw this out and learn everything about her. And there would be a next time; he did not doubt it.
Cassidy opened her mouth to tell him she’d never done this before when she felt his head pressing against her entrance, but she bit the words back. What difference did it make? And honestly, she wanted him too bad to stop now.
She bit her lip as he started to slide into her, but she couldn’t suppress a gasp of pain when he thrust deep inside.
Dante had only a second to register a resistance before he buried himself inside her. He froze when Cassidy became rigid beneath him and the knuckles of her fingers clutching the bedding turned white.
“Shit,” he hissed as he pulled out of her.
He didn’t have to
