“I want you. And I need to show you how much.”
His words sent a flood of heat rushing between her legs and a low moan slipped past her lips. But before she could say anything, he lowered his mouth and took hers with a hunger that made her weak in the knees. She would have melted in a puddle at his feet had he not been holding her steady.
This kiss was more, so much more, than the one he’d given her days ago. She tried following his lead, but couldn’t keep up, so she gave in and allowed an onslaught of sensations to sweep over her.
When he finally released her mouth, all she could do was whisper the words, “Show me how much.”
CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE
PARKER SWEPT SEBRINA INTO his arms and headed for his bedroom. Already, he knew they’d be doing more than just acting on their attraction. It went deeper than that. This thing between him and Sebrina was unique, powerful, enduring. There would be no acting. They’d be sealing their fate.
Sealing their fate...
Suddenly an emotion that was much more powerful than mere lust tore through him and he almost missed his step. Everything that he’d previously considered logical fled from his mind. This was a total, emotional meltdown. A swelling he usually only felt in his groin was making its way to his chest, landing dead center in his heart. Every heartbeat he had was for her. Sebrina Bennett.
He realized at that moment that he had fallen in love with her and had probably fallen for her the moment she’d opened the front door that day. He had never been a believer in love at first sight, but he had to admit now that there was more than sexual desire at play here. He needed to make love to her—all of her.
It was as if his very soul had recognized the person that he was meant to share his life with. Whether she knew it or not, Sebrina was his future. Would she accept that? If not yet, she would in the end. He’d make sure of it. Parker had never been one to walk away from a challenge.
Entering his bedroom, he moved to the bed and placed her on it, smiling when she sat up and began removing her robe. It looked like she didn’t want to waste any time and he loved her way of thinking! Following her lead, his hands went to the waistband of his PJ’s to tug them down his legs.
“I almost came to you tonight.”
His hands went still, and he glanced at her. “You did?”
She nodded. “Yes. Around an hour ago. I stood outside your door for a good ten minutes, but I got too nervous to wake you. But I wanted you, Parker.”
He held her gaze as he quickly shoved his bottoms off. Then he watched her remove her last stitch of clothing, smiling as she pulled her nightie over her head. The next time he had her in his bed, sometime when they weren’t driven by need, he would enjoy undressing her slowly. But tonight, there was no time.
He preened a little, seeing the appreciation in her gaze as she allowed her eyes to roam over his body. Moving to the bed, he reached out his hand to her, and she took it. The moment their hands touched his breath caught, and a surge of need that was fiercer than anything he had ever experienced in his life, hit him.
“You are beautiful, Sebrina,” he said, admiring the way she looked in his bed. Her beautiful dark skin, firm breasts, small waist and those magnificent curves of her hips—they all took his breath away. And when he could breathe again, he drew in a luscious scent that was all her. “And you looked so sexy in your nightgown.”
A smile touched her lips. “For the whole minute you saw it.”
He returned her smile, then tugged on her hand, gently pulling her closer to him. He drew in a sharp breath when the tips of her hardened nipples pressed into his chest.
“I need to protect you,” he whispered, releasing her hand and moving to the nightstand to pull out a condom packet.
Knowing she watched what he was doing, he sheathed himself before turning his attention back to her. Her eyes widened when she saw his arousal, then she offered him another sizzling smile that shook him to the core.
Returning to the bed, he reached out and caressed the side of her face, allowing his gaze to delve into hers. Unable to stare at her any longer, he placed a knee on the bed and leaned in and captured her mouth, feasting on it like a starving man finally offered something to eat.
When she returned the kiss, he deepened the pressure of his lips on hers, devouring her mouth every way that he could. He had been starving for another taste of her for days and now he was getting his fill. Whether she knew it or not, he was branding her mouth as his. And at some point, he intended to do the same for every inch of her body.
Releasing her mouth, he whispered her name. “Sebrina.”
She must have heard the intense need in his voice, because she slid back and wrapped her arms around his neck, bringing him down on the bed with her. Placing his body over hers, he parted her thighs. His erection was throbbing, eager to get inside of her and when she shifted, opening her legs, he slowly began entering her.
The moment he felt her heated feminine muscles clench around him, he lost all control, and pushed forward until he couldn’t go any further. Drawing in a deep breath, he drew her scent into his nostrils at the same time as he savored how snug he was inside of her. It was impossible to remain still when she shifted. Nothing had ever felt this good.
Then, when he felt her running her fingers through his hair, tugging on a few strands as if to spur him on, he began moving, slow at first but quickly becoming more frantic. He wanted to close his eyes and savor the moment, but then again, he wanted to stare into her eyes and know the second she came.
Suddenly she began moving her body in sync with his. Unable to help himself, he lowered his mouth to hers, allowing his tongue to mimic the wild movements of their bodies. He felt a slight pain when her fingertips dug into his shoulder a few times before reaching up to run her fingers through his hair again. Never had he kissed a woman so greedily. Never had a kiss been this all-consuming.
Parker felt the moment it began happening, the way her body trembled beneath his. He knew she was almost there. Breaking the kiss, he stared down at her, drowning in the intensity he saw in the dark depths of her pupils, and the way her thoroughly kissed lips seemed to form the word “oh” before her body gave in to the storm building inside her. Each time she would grind her hips against his, he stroked inside of her deeper.
Then she tilted her pelvis, and he slid deeper inside of her. And the love he felt for her seemed to burst in his heart the moment she screamed his name and her body splintered into ecstasy.
He felt it and shared it with her, as his body quickly followed suit. But he didn’t stop thrusting. It was as if he couldn’t get enough of her. And she gave as good as she got, bucking against him, tightening her legs around him as together, they went over the edge.
Parker leaned down and kissed her, needing this connection while their bodies went from turbulent to calm. Shifting his weight off her, he gathered her in his arms, knowing he’d never shared anything of this magnitude with a woman. They lay there in silence, as if afraid any words would ruin the moment. And neither of them wanted that.
Right now, it was enough for them to savor what they’d just shared. Because soon enough, they’d have to decide where they intended to go from there.
“I’m glad I got to meet your cousins.”
Sebrina glanced across the kitchen table at Parker. After making love again, they had worked up an appetite, so they’d gone back into the kitchen and dived into those hot wings, like they’d intended to do earlier.
