He didn’t noticeany of the details he’d absorbed earlier about her home. His eyeslatched onto the woman standing with her back to him, at a windowacross the way. She was stiffer than when he observed her outside;she knew he was here.
Caro had heard hisstep on the stairs before feeling his eyes on her back. As he drewcloser, the aroma of his scent increased with every step.
She’d debatedrunning across the room, grabbing clothes, and dressing, but shecouldn’t bear the idea of putting clothes on her hypersensitizedskin. And truth be told, she didn’t care what he did or didn’tsee.
The closer he gotto her door, the more alien she felt in her skin. Nothing would beright until he touched her.
She hated thecertainty accompanying that thought, but it refused to go away.Every part of her screamed to turn toward him, but onetinypart kept shouting it would be a horrible idea.
That part wasright. If she went to him now, she would never return to life asshe knew it.
The convictionthat came with her realization was unshakeable. Shedespisedthe tiny part that maintained any sense of rationalization when shelonged to throw herself into his arms.
But she wasn’tsure the little voice mattered. What was her life now? She had noidea.
It was thrown intocomplete chaos over a month ago. It was torn apart and forged intosomething she barely recognized. Her old life was gone; it was timeshe started a new one.
She couldn’t starta new one with him, he would never bethatguy, and shewasn’t looking for a relationship. She wanted a good,hardfuck to finally ease the awful sexual frustration that had become apermanent fixture since his arrival.
The heat of hisgaze warmed her already inflamed flesh more. She didn’t care thathis eyes devoured every inch of her. Sheyearnedto beconsumed.
Unable to resistthe inexplicable pull he had over her, her head turned so she couldsee him over her shoulder. Her breath caught as she took in thepowerful man standing outside her door.
Tonight, he wasmore predator than man and far more dangerous as his cobalt blueeyes blazed at her from the darkness. A circle of red rimmed theouter edge of his irises.
Those wild eyescaused something primal inside her to react. It was as if someonehad thrown a rope around her and was pulling her toward him as shetook one step and then another forward.
If she opened thedoor… it would be the greatest night of her life and possibly theworstmistake she ever made. She had no idea how toreconcile those two things, but it didn’t matter.
There was noturning back, not for her and not for him.
She undid the lockwhen she reached the glass door and hesitated for a second beforesliding it open. They stood, staring at each other for the space ofa few heartbeats, neither certain what to do next.
And then he was inthe room. He moved so fast she barely saw him before he clasped herface and claimed her mouth in the most demanding kiss she’d everexperienced. He kissed like he was a drowning man and she was theair he required to survive.
His lips foreverbranded hers with their feel; though they were firm, they were alsosoft. His hands remained on her face as she rose to her toes,draped her arms around his neck, and hugged him.
The feel of hisunyielding frame against her naked body was overwhelming yetfamiliar and comforting. His hands were everywhere as they roamedfrom her face, down her sides, to her hips.
Everywhere theytouched, her flesh caught fire as the wetness between her legsincreased, and she swayed toward him. Only he could put out theflames he’d ignited.
The intensity ofhis kiss and touch untethered her from the world until all thatexisted was him. She clung to him as she tried to keep herselfgrounded, but it was impossible. And shelovedit.
Saber couldn’t getenough of the suppleness of her skin, the lithe wonder of her body,and her enticing scent. His dick ached to be inside her, andeverything in him screamed to claim her, but he was determined toexplore and learn more of her.
With her in hisarms, he couldn’t think about why the wordclaimkeptrunning through his mind; being with her didn’t allow room forthinking beyond lust. He wrapped his arms around her waist andlifted her off the ground.
Her silken skinand toned body flowed beneath his hands. He gripped her taut ass asshe encircled her legs around his waist and rubbed her clit againsthis erection.
While walkinghere, being inside her was what drove him. It propelled him acrossthe yard and up those stairs, but now that she was in his arms,instead of feeling crazed to possess her, she’d calmed his mindlessurgency.
She’d quieted abeast he never believed could be silenced.
CHAPTER 69
When the worldslowed around them and her calming effect seeped through his body,he took the time to savor her. The sensation of her lips and hertaste were as sweet as honey.
As he kissed her,she didn’t hesitate to meet every tongue stroke while she rubbedagainst his shaft. He groaned as his palms flattened on herback.
