muscular shoulders and quickly thrown aside.
The touch of his bare skin was her undoing. His lips tormented and tantalized hers. His hands moved up her back, and he had her skirt dropped to the floor before she knew it was gone. She moaned as he tugged her lace top over her head and then gently kissed the base of her throat, touching his lips against her full, hot breast.
Her back arched, and her breathing became ragged. He tormented her body, touching her everywhere. He tossed his belt and Kilt aside, and the full heat of his naked body flamed hot against her skin.
They were on the bed, and Melissa couldn’t remember crossing the room or how she had lost her slip that now lay in a pool on the floor. His hand slid down her flat belly and into her velvet heat. She called out to him, quivering with desire.
Alex had almost completely lost control. When he touched her, she responded with such fire. He leaned down and continued to caress and conquer her lips until she moaned softly against his mouth. His fingers slid into the slick heat of her, and her back arched when he slid his thumb over the tiny nub.
She was so hot and sweet. He wanted her more than anything else in his entire world. Alex couldn’t wait any longer. He parted her thighs, and his arousal slid deep into her tight velvet heat. The momentary resistance stunned his desire-crazed mind.
Melissa tensed and held perfectly still. The shock hit Alex like a thunderbolt from hell. My God, she was a virgin. She sure didn’t kiss like a virgin, he thought, and then realized he hadn’t been able to have a coherent thought since her arrival.
He braced his weight with his arms and looked down at her beautiful face. He wooed her with soft words whispered against her lips. He paused and stroked her face and hair. Alex talked softly in her ear. “ A Grá , shhh. It won’t last long, I promise. Ye’re so beautiful.” His voice was choked with emotion.
Melissa’s hands unclenched as she began to relax. “Alex,” she spoke softly.
“ Aye , my darling.” He kissed the tip of her nose.
Melissa was overwhelmed by own raging emotions. Tears streamed down her cheeks, and she didn’t have a clue why she was crying. “I’ve never done anything like this before now.”
He kissed her chin. “Now ye tell me.” He continued to stroke her hair. “I didn’t know, sweetheart, or I might have slowed down—just a little. My Angel, ye take my breath away.” He kissed the base of her throat and then steeled himself to say, “Do ye want tae stop now?”
He touched her lips gently with his, and she forgot about everything but the aching intensity within her. “No,” she raggedly whispered against his mouth and moved her hips against him.
He crushed her lips with his and was beyond thinking or reason. He withdrew a little and then returned to the tight heat within her. A tidal wave of emotions flooded Alex’s heart. He didn’t know if there could be a more perfect moment in life and wanted this to last forever. They looked deep into each other’s eyes, and he watched the pupils in her eyes grow big in absolute wonder.
He searched his heart for the right words to soothe her fears. He realized just how bleak his world had been. Somehow, he sensed she loved him from the first moment they looked at each other, and he wasn’t about to lose that gift.
Alex had spent too many years of his life without the perfection he now held in his arms. She held him tightly, and he knew in his heart that he loved her. He leaned down and gently kissed her lips. While in this intimate embrace, he knew he would do whatever it took to keep her beside him forever. If she left him, he would shatter into ash and drift away with the wind.
He smiled against her lips and moved forward again. She gasped in a delighted surprise. He had waited until the shock had passed. His forehead had broken out in a sweat. His body could no longer be denied. The ecstasy was an agony of control. He slowly
