« Come here » He said, his voice husky in the darkness of the room.
“No”
“Come here, baby”
“No, Kev, you won’t get out of this so easily”
“Come on, honey” His tone, coupled by his voice, made her shiver in reaction. It wasn’t fair he could unnerve her by simply talking. Or worse, by whispering. Which was what he was doing right now.
Damn him for knowing her so well.
That evening had been a disaster. After forcing her to accompany him to one of those Hollywood-type functions she positively hated, dressed to the nines per his instructions, he had left her on a sofa and went to get them drinks…and had never reappeared. Well, maybe not never but at least, an hour later.
And by then, she had been seething mad.
How dared he leave her like that? She had sat there, looking lost for the world to see. No one she knew had walked past, no one she didn’t know had taken the time to talk to her. Obviously she wasn’t famous. True enough, only her husband was.
Damn man who thought he could simply disappear and come back with an apologetic smile and a glass of lukewarm champagne. Hell, she didn’t even like champagne!
“Honey, stop thinking about it. Come on”
“I’ll stop thinking about it when I’m ready!” She retorted, ignoring his smirk as he watched her get agitated.
“Come here” He repeated then, catching her eye and locking their gazes together. Leaning back against the sofa’s back, he stretched out his legs in front of him and waited.
She couldn’t help herself, she stared. At the way his trousers stretched around his thighs, displaying clearly the muscles underneath. He moved gracefully, like a smooth and limber cat. Slowly he began to unknot his tie, his movements riveting her. Such a simple gesture and yet, she was enthralled.
She watched silently as his hands moved to the collar of his shirt, slipping buttons out of their holds. The man was undressing himself! Trying to fight her rising attraction, she opened her mouth and said the first thing that came to mind “I hate this shirt”
At her voice, his eyebrows rose. “Really? Then come here and I’ll let you burn it”
“Really?”
He didn’t reply, simply grinned at her as he slid the shirt down his muscular arms. She gulped, knowing that she had lost.
Now that his chest was bare for her eyes to see, she knew, without a doubt, that the argument that had taken place was truly over.
Especially when he was smirking up at her, his left arm stretched towards her and the shirt dangling from his fingers.
Damn man.
“You don’t play fair” She said in the otherwise silent as she stopped in front of him, his legs automatically inching closer so that she could sit on his lap. Facing him, she traced his mouth with one fingertip, feeling him tremble when her nail drew a path down his neck and over his chest.
“Can I really burn it?” She asked as she spotted the shirt, now lying crumpled at his feet.
“If you want, yes” He replied, his hands running up her back. “I love this dress” He added, his tongue peeking out to wet his lips.
A frown marring her face, she retorted “You didn’t really appreciate it earlier on”
“Of course, I did. But now-“ He paused, his hands sliding the zipper down her back. “I’ll like it even more when it’s finally off you” Black satin pooled around her hips as his eyes raked over her. “So very nice” He whispered, once more making her shiver.
His agile hands busied themselves, her bra falling to the floor, soon followed by all their clothes.
And only a few minutes later, they stopped, both looking at the other one with hunger in their eyes. She was still sitting on his lap, her thighs stretched over his. He bent his head then, his teeth nipping the top of her breast. Then they encircled a nipple and he began suckling. A small shriek escaped her parted lips, making him chuckle.
“That is not funny” She gasped as she felt his hand slide up her inner thigh, softly parting her folds. “Oh God”
“I agree” He replied, still a small smile lingered on his mouth as he captured hers.
She leaned into the kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck as he pleasured her. Caressing her until she was moaning and writhing on top of him, her legs clenched around his.
“Fuck” He mumbled as he watched her pupils dilate. Grabbing her hips, he lifted her high enough so that he could feel her wetness. And before she could even blink, he thrust inside her.
It was expected and yet, she couldn’t help a long moan escaping from her parted lips.
“Kevin” She whispered finally as he held onto her hips, forcing her to move on top of him. His half-closed eyes focused on her face and they stared at each other, their movements growing erratic as heat began swirling inside their bodies. Culminating, hotter and hotter until they reached completion. Together as one, gazes locked, limbs tangled.
She fell against his chest, utterly spent and yet, a soft smile lingered on her face. “You never play fair, do you?” She said a few minutes later, her fingers wandering over his bicep.
He took his time answering, first lifting her off his lap so that she could sit more comfortably at his side. Dragging the blanket from the back of the sofa, he wrapped it around her, not caring about his own nudity.
“I’m sorry for tonight” He finally said as she stared at him. “Hey, don’t look so surprised” He added, making her smile.
“Well, you don’t often apologize”
He rolled his eyes and she laughed, moving away when she saw his eyes darken.
“Uh oh” She muttered as he leaned towards her, his hands disappearing under the blanket. “Kevin!”
“Yes?” He whispered, his face now looming over hers.
“Don’t-“ She shrieked as his hands closed around her waist, his fingers dancing over her skin. Tickling her as she tried moving away, tried grabbing his too agile hands. To no avail. He began laughing while she sent him a dark glare.
“I love you” He grinned as he bent slightly and took her mouth for a long, thorough kiss.
And as his fingers slowly left her flanks, moving upwards to cup her heavy breasts, she lost herself into his kiss. And forgot about the evening’s fiasco, knowing that even though it would surely happen again, at least she’d have their return home to look forward to…
