“You’re gorgeous, Xenia. Just as you are. Your strength, your dedication to your job, that’s just as attractive as the rest of you. And these implants are a symbol of that.” He palmed her breast, flicking a thumb over her nipple. She gasped and arched into his touch. She was so sensitive, starved for touch. What had it cost her to hide her emotions all these years?
He bent his head and sucked her nipple into his mouth.
“Axton!” She jerked beneath him, her hands clamping onto his head. He lapped at her nipple, then released it to move across to the other breast.
“Good?” he murmured against her skin.
“Yes.”
“More?”
“Yes!” She arched into his mouth, and he moved, his lips trailing down until he found her belly button. He kissed across her stomach, traced the light ridges of muscle—another sign of that strength he found so attractive. Then he let his lips touch one of her implants.
“You’re beautiful.” He nudged her legs apart and looked at her. Dark red hair and glistening, female flesh waited for him.
She shifted on the covers and even in the dim light, he saw the flush on her face.
“Beautiful,” he said again. He slid one hand up her slim thigh, rubbing in circles. Higher, higher.
Her mouth opened on a gasp.
He circled her clit, watching as she squirmed against him, her breath hitching. Then, keeping his gaze on her, he slid a finger inside her.
Her hips jerked up off the bed. She was so tight. He pulled back and slid two fingers into her. “Does that feel good?”
“You must know it does.” Her voice was breathless.
He worked her, stretching her, keeping his thumb strumming her clit.
“I want to touch you,” she said.
“Soon.”
Her jaw tightened. “I mightn’t have much experience at this, but I’m not a pushover, Axton.”
He almost laughed. “Baby, I know you aren’t a pushover. But I want you to lie back and let me love you. Believe me, watching your pleasure gives me pleasure, too.”
Her gaze shot down to where the towel was tented in front of him.
“Now—” he leaned over her “—I’m going to taste you.”
He saw the muscles in her stomach clench. He pressed a kiss to her hip bone, then moved lower and stopped with his mouth inches from her warm, damp flesh.
“I’m going to put my mouth on you. Then I’m going to lick and suck you until you come in my mouth.”
“Axton.” His name was a whimper on her lips.
He pressed his mouth to her.
She cried out, her hands twisting in the sheets.
He licked her with one long stroke, then gripped her legs and lifted them onto his shoulders. He sucked, drank in the honey of her. Her whimpers and cries made his own desire swell and his cock with it. Damn, if it got any bigger, he was going to be in real pain.
She ground against him, her heels digging into his back. She bucked her hips and then came on a scream.
So. Beautiful.
She fell back on the bed in an abandoned sprawl. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes slumberous.
