Yeah, he was pretty distracted, he decided with inner cynical amusement, his fingers fumbling as he fought to unfasten his jeans. It was a relief to shove them down his hips and step free, but even in the haze of his need he didn’t miss the way Laurel stared at his blatant erection with wide-eyed uncertainty.
“It’s big.”
Cal stifled a laugh. “Women are supposed to like that.”
“Oh.” She looked chagrined but still fascinated.
He would have staked everything he owned she was a virgin and that remark just proved it. He sat down on the edge of the bed and cupped her cheek in one hand, feeling the smooth warmth of her skin. “Are you still sure?”
Her lashes drifted down and she turned her face so her lips brushed his palm. “Yes.
Don’t ask me why, but I’m sure,” she murmured against his skin.
His heart tightened in a way he’d never felt before and suddenly he broke out in a light sweat that had nothing to do with sexual need.
He could fall in love with her, he realized with a stab of stunned enlightenment.
Maybe it had even happened already. Look at what he was doing. “What about your fiancé?”
“I was never going to marry Weston. I thought about it for a little while, but came to the conclusion I wanted a man who wasn’t just money and smooth manners.”
“Well, I don’t have either one of those, that’s for sure.” Cal leaned in as he tilted her face to his and captured her mouth.
Their first kiss had been everything tender and sweet and slow. This one was as explosive as a charge of dynamite. Slim arms came up around his neck as she pressed her body next to his and she opened for his tongue with amazing eagerness. The sensation of the erect tips of her breasts against his bare chest made him slide his arms around her and haul her onto his lap, his cock hard against her hip, their mouths mating with need.
The awareness that he needed to go slow registered in his brain, but his body was in argument with the realization. Without thinking he lowered her to the bed, his mouth trailing down her neck, stopping briefly at the pulse point in her throat, feeling the flutter www.samhainpublishing.com 51

of her racing heart with an inner smile. The taste of her skin was unique, a combination of the fresh flavor from the stream and the warm essence that was hers alone, all woman and more enticing than anything he could think of on this earth.
He tried to rein himself in.
She gave a small gasp as he nuzzled the valley between her delectable breasts, and then found one pointed nipple with his mouth. The first gentle swirl of his tongue won him a ragged sigh and the pink bud tightened. He ministered to it with care, giving her a chance to relax and enjoy the sensation.
“Cal.”
“Yes, sweetheart?” He licked the soft side of one firm breast and lightly squeezed the other, fondling the crest, thumbing the nipple in small erotic circles.
“I don’t know what I was going to say,” she confessed with charming candor.
“Maybe that you like what I’m doing?” he suggested, his fingers stroking her nipple, the way she’d reacted to his kiss not in question. She wanted him, and he was going to have to ponder that later. The chemistry had been there from the beginning, unique in his experience, and obviously in hers too. The fact they’d both felt it so acutely disturbed him, because he hadn’t ever believed in the romantic fantasy of love at first sight.
It was for fools.
So, maybe he was guilty as charged. He was guilty of a lot worse things.
“Yes.” She shifted, the restless movement betraying her growing arousal as he touched and fondled her with as much finesse as he could summon considering his body screamed for release from the sexual tension that had been a palpable presence for the past week. Again she whispered and arched, “Oh…yes.”
The lady liked it, all right. Good. Slow was going to be for next
