Romeo got to his feet. I forcibly swallowed as his hands slowly fell over my shoulders and down to the sharp blades on my back. My heart pounded as he stopped on the clasp of my bra. I instinctively reached out and gripped his plaid shirt to right my unsteady feet.
I felt the slackening of my bra and it fell from my chest, revealing my round br**sts to his heated scrutiny. My eyes lowered to my hands on his waist, unable to cope with the pressure of the exposure. Rome’s hands pressed flat against the bare skin of my back and moved north to grip my hair in his fist, tilting up my chin.
My eyes were closed, but I could still feel his razor stare through my paper-thin lids.
“Open.”
I shook my head, unsure if I could cope with the intensity of the tension radiating between us—the air almost crackled with sexual static.
His fist tightened and the pressure built at the crown of my scalp. “Open. I won’t ask again.”
I took a calming breath and lifted my heavy lids. Romeo leaned in, pressing a hard kiss on my lips, and his fingers ghosted along my collarbone, cupping my left breast in his hand. I expelled a moan into his mouth and his tongue slid against mine in circuitous movements as his palm brushed over my nipple, over and over, shooting an electrical need to my sex.
Romeo broke away from my swollen lips on a gasp and as though a strained cord had snapped within him, lifted me in his arms and dropped me to the centre of the bed.
Straddling my thighs, Romeo pinched at the peaks of my br**sts with his fingers and I almost erupted at the sensation, my back arching off the sheets. Romeo’s wide, muscled body loomed above me and he rid himself of his shirt, ripping open the snap buttons, leaving him only in his faded jeans that balanced low on his waist.
“You’re beautiful, baby. All laid out for me. All mine.”
I squirmed as he leaned above me, taking my mouth in a devastating salutation. His tongue plundered, only withdrawing to lick down my throat and to suck his soft lips around the centre of my br**sts, my hips instinctively grinding into the mattress, searching for release.
His hand darted into my panties and his fingers worked furiously at my core. I clutched his hair, pulling on the golden strands to anchor my lust. Growling at my rough treatment, he lifted abruptly, snatching my legs, dragging me to slam against his hardness.
Romeo rid me of my panties within seconds, and I trembled in yearning. I’d never been so unconcealed, so open, and he saw it on my face.
Leaning down, he stroked my hair from my forehead. “I’m goin’ to take you now. I’m goin’ to show you what you mean to me, how much I want you, and show you that you’re mine. You get me, baby?”
“I get you, Romeo.”
Goose bumps ran along his skin at my words and I lifted, brandishing his chest and the valleys of his abdominal muscles with scorching kisses. He expelled a guttural groan and pushed me back, fire blazing in his eyes.
Romeo shifted to the end of the bed, snapping open his jeans, and I watched as the heavy denim hit the floor. He hooked his hands in his black boxers and I bit my lip as they accompanied his jeans. I took in the view of his delectable body in all its naked perfection, my thighs constricting at the sight.
Climbing on the bed on his hands and knees, Romeo lay flush against my body, his large erection resting teasingly against my thigh. With one hand hooked around my head, he used his free hand to lift my knee into a bend, his fingers drifting to my heat to ensure I was ready. I’d never been more ready for anything in my entire life.
Romeo’s body moved off me and he reached for his jeans.
“Romeo, what—”
“Condom,” he said, looking back at me.
I touched his arm with my hand, halting his movement. “I’m on the pill.”
“Baby…” he groaned.
“Please… I just want you, nothing in the way.”
In a flash, he was over me, his expression savage and feral. He grasped my hips feverishly and I lost my breath as I felt him brace at my entrance. In a moment of tenderness, he bent and kissed me with a delicate caress. Pressing his forehead against mine, he clenched his jaw and pushed forward in one swift thrust.
I shifted underneath him at the sudden feeling of fullness, but Romeo’s large body pinned me down, ensuring I didn’t slip away. His strong arms hooked under mine, resting against the mattress, rocking himself farther and farther within me. I raked my nails across his back and bit my teeth into his exposed skin to stop from screaming in pleasure.
“Romeo… God… I can’t take it… It’s too much…”
