hold on but instead she rocked her hips.
“A-actually, that feels pretty damn good.”
Hawk groaned, her unexpected movement almost tumbling him over the edge, and clamped his hand down on her hip to hold her still. “Hey, slow down a little there.”
He pulled back to check her face. She was a virgin for heaven’s sake. She shouldn’t be comfortable with this already, surely? But all he saw was a sexy, sultry smile and her eyes filled with pleasure rather than the tension and nerves he’d expected.
He groaned as she rolled her hips again. “Slowly, or this’ll be the quickest fuck you’ll ever have.”
She grinned wickedly and nipped his earlobe. “So fuck, don’t talk. Then we can do it all over again.”
That did it. Hawk growled as he let go his control. Grabbing her wrists, he dragged them above her head again as he pulled back, until he was almost out of her. Then he surged in again, driving into her with a force that made her gasp.
He didn’t stop there, setting up a powerful rhythm that had the ancient bed squeaking. He moved over her, and within her. With each hard thrust, with each slide and slap of skin on skin as his hips met hers, he felt the tension in the room and in her body increase. Tension that coiled tighter and tighter until it was almost palpable.
She freed a hand from captivity to run it down his face, wonder in her eyes. Such a simple gesture, but low down in his body something tightened until it was almost painful. Hawk turned his head and kissed her palm.
Her back arched in response, her hips meeting his stroke for stroke as she silently demanded more. Pleasure arced through him, electrifying each and every cell in his body as she strained against him.
“Oh god, yeah babe, that’s it. Let it go. I’ll catch you.” Hawk whispered in her ear, lips brushing the sweet spot behind it and that was it.
Crying out, she came over his cock. Her body tightened, clamping down around his in rhythmic waves as unstoppable as the tides as her climax ripped through her.
It was too much for Hawk. Her cries of fulfilment, the feeling of her body around him and the magical backwash of an Earth Warden’s pleasure all wrapped around him like a silken net from which there was no escape. With another growl, he increased his pace, slamming into her brutally now. Once, twice...on the third thrust, his cock pulsed, blood rushing to his groin as his release hit him like a tidal wave.
He groaned, his muscles locking until he was as stiff as a board. His cock jerked and pulsed, spilling his hot seed into her silken depths and, with a groan, he rolled over to pull her tightly into his arms.
Chapter Eight
Lyssa awoke slowly, hovering in that comfortable place between asleep and awake for the longest while, content and happy because she’d had the most marvelous dream. An erotic dream where she’d been in bed with the sexiest guy she’d ever seen. He was all lean, hard muscle, and dramatic good looks. Looks that belonged on a catwalk rather than in bed with her.
And the things they’d done... Image after erotic image flashed over her mind’s eye. Oh god, they’d done everything . Lyssa’s cheeks burned as she came fully out of sleep. She’d had sexy dreams before but never one so vivid and rich. What the hell was the matter with her?
Groaning, she dragged the pillow over her head. Perhaps if she kept her eyes shut she could escape back into dreamland and re-join her phantom lover. Her gorgeous, sexy, phantom lover, the sort of lover she had no chance of attracting in this lifetime or the next. Not dull, plain little Lyssa the null.
There was movement on the bed next to her, and a hair-roughened calf slid against hers. Under the pillow, her eyes snapped open. There was someone in the bed with her.
She snatched the pillow from her face and looked around with wide eyes. Hawk lay stretched out full length beside her, his arms folded behind his head, and his chin covered with the dark stubble
