That was as magical as the rest of him, and she couldn’t find the strength to resist any longer. Instead, she dove in head-first, kissing him back and then touching him all over, wanting to know every last inch of this amazing man, in case this was all some sort of crazy dream.
She felt dizzy for a moment, as if she was at the center of a whirlwind with only Ren anchoring her in reality. She opened her eyes the tiniest bit to find he had lifted her into his arms and was walking into the house. He was taking her somewhere, and frankly, all she could hope for, at the moment, was that wherever they ended up, there was a bed. Or a soft spot on the floor. Or a table. Anyplace he could put her down and ravish her. She was getting desperate.
She shut her eyes again and gave herself up to the moment as his kiss went on and on. It occurred to her that he must be pretty talented to be able to carry her, kiss her and actually find where he was going all at the same time, but then, he did something with his tongue that made all thought flee from her mind.
The sensation of a soft mattress beneath her brought momentary clarity, as did the cessation of kissing. She opened her eyes again to find herself on a bed—thank goodness! In a room that was decidedly masculine, but also sensuous, with soft fabrics on the bed beneath her fingers and rich colors of forest green and lustrous golden brown. Satin and silk. Leather and wood on the surrounding furnishings, and a discreet entertainment center on the wall opposite the enormous bed with sleek electronics and a giant screen.
Ren watched movies in bed? She wasn’t surprised, given his chosen profession.
Then, there was no more time to think as Ren’s lips returned to hers and his hands lowered to her clothing, making short work of the soft top and pants she’d been wearing. Her underthings followed more slowly as he stretched out the final step of undressing her, kissing his way down her body, his lips never leaving her skin for more than a moment as he uncovered her breasts, then lower.
He lingered over her tender spots, sucking and nipping at her most sensitive skin until she moaned. She wanted to touch him in return, but he stilled her fingers, capturing both of her hands in his.
“I can’t let you touch me right now, sweet Kat, or this will all be over way too soon. I’ve been dreaming about this, about you, for a long time,” he whispered against her skin.
She felt every word as a puff of warm air over her body. Between the physical sensations and the impact of what he was saying, she shivered. She knew longing. She’d been feeling it ever since she’d met him, if she was honest.
Oh, she’d admired his image on the screen. He was too handsome not to turn her head. But it hadn’t been until she’d met him in person that she began to feel this magnetic attraction. She’d been drawn to him. She suspected many women had felt that same pull, but if what he’d been telling her was true—and she had no reason to doubt his words, except her own insecurities—he’d felt the same attraction toward her.
He could have any woman he wanted, but for whatever reason, he wanted her. He’d shared some amazing secrets with her, and she had to believe that meant he was more serious than she might otherwise expect. She didn’t believe he went around showing his home and his amazing secret magical abilities to every woman who shared his bed.
She didn’t know exactly what it all meant at the moment, but it was too late to puzzle anything out while her brain was melting from pleasure. She’d be able to think about things…later. Much, much later.
She was naked, and Ren’s skin was hot against her straining body. He was kissing her again and moving closer until she felt the length of him against her body. He felt magnificent.
She wanted to touch, but he stopped her each time she moved her hands toward him. Frustration built along with her passion, but what he was doing to her with his mouth and talented fingers was enough to keep her distracted. Next time, she promised herself, she wouldn’t let him block her. She would get her chance to touch Ren the way she wanted, even if she had to plan a sneak attack on his bod.
Chuckling inwardly at the image in her mind, she smiled up at him as he rose over her. Ren’s head tilted to one side, as if considering her expression, and his eyes narrowed.
“What’s put such a smile on that pretty face of yours, eh?” he asked.
“Oh, you’ll find out…eventually.”
He grinned, using the tips of his fingers to tickle her waist as she began to laugh. “You want to tease? I advise you, it isn’t wise to tease a jaguar.”
“No?” she asked, breathless as he eased off tickling her. “But it seems like such fun.”
He seemed to ponder that for a moment. “I guess it all depends on the nature of the teasing, now that I think about it.” Green fire leapt in his eyes as he gazed at her. “Of course, teasing can go both ways.” He leaned down and nipped her shoulder, just hard enough to make her jump, but not in a painful way. Actually, the little nip was oddly exciting.
His lips trailed downward from her shoulder, over her chest. He paused to lap at her nipples, making her moan in delight. Then, he moved lower.
Parting her legs with his hands, he combed his fingers through the fine fringe that covered her most intimate places, parting and presenting her for his mouth. When his tongue touched the little sensitive nub between her thighs, she went off like a skyrocket, her body convulsing with pleasure as animalistic sounds issued from her throat. Damn, that felt good.
But he wasn’t done. He rode her through the pleasure, and she wasn’t even aware of it when he moved to cover her again. She felt it when the tip of his erection nudged at her opening, and her eyes blinked open in surprise to find him over her, his gaze meeting her startled eyes even as his body claimed hers.
He slid in, gently at first, testing the path, as it were. It felt marvelous, and she encouraged him silently, moving her hips to meet him. She wanted him so badly!
He didn’t make her wait, sliding home and pausing to let her adjust. Her breath left in a whoosh as he claimed her fully, her body accepting him as if she’d been made just for him. Maybe there really was something to this mating business, she thought idly. Then, he began to move, and all thought fled from her mind. Only sensation mattered. The slide of his body, the hardness, the heat. The way his eyes flared with green sparks as the magic inside him spilled over.
Everything about him was amazing, and she had never experienced the level of sensation she was feeling at that moment. She was pretty sure that her brain short circuited and only her senses remained, even overwhelmed as they were by his possession. She felt something warm in her heart, as if part of her being detached and joined with part of his, returning stronger and bonded to something she didn’t fully understand. Or, perhaps, she was just getting fanciful with all this talk of magic and other impossible things.
Ren’s pace increased, and her passion rose ever higher, reaching for something she wasn’t sure she could reach. It was almost scary how high he pushed her. The sensations rocked her world, making all memories of lovemaking with anybody else dim to nothingness by comparison. This was something totally out of her experience, and when he reached that ultimate crescendo, he took her with him into a sparkling fountain of desire that sizzled and exploded into a place she’d never even known existed. A place of unspeakable pleasure that made her body shiver and shake, even as her soul soared.
