what I had to do to take the sadness from her eyes, so that when I looked deep into her soul it was gone – banished forever. I wanted to replace the sadness with joy, with lightness, with passion. I wanted to light the fire in her soul. I wanted to see her passion and fire blazing for me.
Above all, I wanted to wipe her memory of everyone who had come before me. I wanted the chance to make her forget everything that made her sad.
The beast in me wanted to take her in the most primal ways, but I had to bide my time, take it slow.
For now all I could do was to wipe the tears rolling down her cheeks, her beautiful face contorted in pain, her eyes still squeezed shut tightly.
“Look at me , Natalie,” I commanded softly.
S he did, slowly, as if her lids were too heavy. Tears trembled on her thick lashes.
“Listen to me. Gabriel is a fool . He must have his own demons that have nothing to do with you, yet he projected them on to you because he didn’t know how to deal with them.”
She looked at me, confusion in her face. I had to get through to her. “ You are so very beautiful, so worthy of loving,” I breathed, tracing my fingers over her jaw line, her soft wet cheeks, the shell of her ear. Tenderness welled up inside me, filling my heart. I had to let her understand how utterly desirable she was.
“Every time I see you, my heart melts. Just being near you makes my insides go crazy – my heart wants to jump out of my chest…and, my dick, well…” I licked over my parched lips. Best not talk about the raging hard-ons I had just looking at her, imagining being buried deep inside her. I didn’t want to scare her with the intensity of my desire.
“Tonight when I saw you standing there in front of the fireplace, your beauty and grace dazzled me. I had to fight my instincts to not tear this sultry red dress off you with my teeth and ravish your delectable body on the spot.”
My hand caress ed the skin on her neck, skimming along the edges of the fabric of her dress, down the delicious V where her breasts dipped. I was burning from the inside, my fingers trembling slightly as they brushed over the peaks of her breasts.
I groaned. “The gentleman in me is having a really hard time controlling the beast within me. I want you so much it hurts.”
Her eyes widened.
She has no fucking idea what she does to me.
Her full lips opened slightly as she gasped, glistening in the glow of the fire. I had to taste them – now . I leaned in and sucked those luscious lips into my mouth, sipping at them. The fire roared from my gut to my chest, igniting every nerve ending along the way.
As luxurious as the fabric of her dress felt, I wanted to feel her bare flesh. I pulled at the tie. Her dress fell open, and it was my turn to gasp as I drank in everything about her. Her full breasts spilled over the sides of a sexy black satin and lace bra, which barely contained her sweet flesh, her nipples straining against the fabric. I sucked in a breath at the sheer beauty of her smooth lily-white skin, begging for my lips and hands to worship her.
“So fucking beautiful,” I growled, my heart hammering in my chest as I undid the clasp behind her back and slid the bra off her arms. Her berry pink nipples puckered as the cold air hit them, causing my cock to jerk in my pants.
My hands reverently floated over her creamy soft skin, sending tingles of pleasure up my spine. An overwhelming urge to feel the weight of those sumptuous breasts filled me, so I gently cupped them, stroking over her pebbled nipples with my thumbs. She trembled. I knew it wasn’t because she was cold. Her eyes were the deepest inky blue I had ever seen, intense longing radiated from them as we gazed at one another.
I liked what I saw.
She wants me as much as I want her.
