I didn’t bother responding, just continued up the stairs with Delaney secure in my arms. She pressed her face briefly against my neck, hiding a soft chuckle as her fingers tightened in my shirt. “Are they always like that?”
“Yup,” I muttered dryly, heading straight toward my room.
Right now, nothing else existed but the woman in my arms and the certainty pounding relentlessly through my body. She was mine.
The second the bedroom door slammed shut behind us, Delaney’s body slid slowly down the front of mine, her hands gripping my shoulders as she lowered herself inch by inch. The hard ridge of my cock dragged against her stomach through my jeans, then caught firmly between us when her feet finally hit the floor.
She sucked in a sharp breath.
“Yeah,” I growled, watching her eyes widen as she felt exactly what she did to me. “That’s what you’ve had me walking around with all fucking day, angel.”
Her cheeks flushed pink, but instead of shrinking back, her gaze dropped openly to the bulge straining behind my zipper.The look on her face damn near snapped the last thread of restraint I had left.
I caught her jaw in one hand and kissed her hard.
There was none of the slow buildup or careful pacing I’d tried to use with her. The tension between us had been stacking for days, every touch and every stolen kiss chipping away at my control until there was nothing left holding it back.
Delaney melted into me with a soft moan, her hands fisting in my shirt while my mouth took hers. My tongue swept across her lips, and the sweet little sound she made sent a brutal pulse of heat straight to my dick.
“Fuck,” I muttered against her mouth. “Open for me.”
She did it without hesitation.
That trust hit me almost as hard as her taste did.
I groaned low in my throat as I deepened the kiss, crowding her backward until her hips bumped the dresser. The wood rattled softly beneath the impact, but I barely noticed over the roar of blood in my ears and the desperate need clawing through me.
I gripped her thighs and lifted her onto the dresser, stepping between her legs as they wrapped around my waist. Her body pressed against mine, soft and warm everywhere I touched her. The friction of her grinding against my cock nearly drove me out of my fucking mind.
My forehead dropped briefly against hers while I fought for half a second of control that I no longer fucking had.
Delaney’s fingers slid into my hair, tugging hard enough to make my hips jerk against her. “Soren, please.”
The way she said my name in her breathless voice sent another wave of arousal through me.
I cupped her face with both hands and kissed her again, my tongue stroking deep while she whimpered softly into my mouth. She tasted sweet and addictive and so fucking innocentbeneath all that growing hunger. I already knew I could spend hours between her thighs and still want more.
My mouth dragged to her ear while my hands skimmed down her sides beneath the sweater she wore.
“You taste even sweeter between your legs,” I whispered roughly against her skin. “Been thinking about that pretty little pussy nonstop.”
Her entire body shuddered.
“Oh, Soren,” she breathed weakly.
“Yeah?” I dragged my teeth lightly along her earlobe before kissing down the side of her throat. “Been thinking about having me down there again, angel? My mouth on you while I hold those thighs open and make you come till you forget your own damn name?”
A broken little moan escaped her lips, and her hips rolled instinctively against mine.
That fucking did it.
My hands slid higher beneath her shirt until I found the soft weight of her breasts. Then I yanked down her bra so I could cup the luscious globes. She was all warm skin and hard nipples pushing against my palms.
“Fuck,” I groaned again, squeezing her firmly while my cock throbbed painfully behind my zipper. “These pretty tits have been driving me insane.”
Delaney’s head tipped back as I palmed her harder, my thumbs brushing over the sensitive peaks until her breathing turned ragged. Her legs tightened around my waist, pulling me closer while I ground against her deliberately.
“You feel what you do to me?” I muttered darkly against her throat. “Can barely fucking think around you anymore.”
