It seemed like his hands were everywhere, rough and calloused yet gentle as they explored my body. Each touch sent sparks of pleasure racing through me. I tugged at his shirt, wanting to feel his skin against mine, and he pulled back just long enough to strip it off.
The sight of him, all muscle and tattoos and raw masculinity, stole my breath. That phrase had always seemed stupid ridiculous to me, but I understood now. When he let his weight settle over me and the light dusting of hair on his chest abraded my already sensitive nipples, my body clenched and I actually cried out, arching against him.
“Shhh, I’ve got you,” he whispered against my breast before taking my nipple into his mouth. The wet heat of his tongue made me whimper. I’d never known I could feel this way. Desperate. Needy. Like I would die if he stopped touching me.
He held me to him with an arm around my back while he feasted on my breast. I loved the feeling of being tied to him, as if by keeping me so tightly against him, I could never get away from him. The strength with which I wanted this man was at once intoxicating and so very frightening I wasn’t at all sure I should let him continue. But the sad truth was, even if he killed me or, worse, ridiculed me later or hurt me in some other way, there was no way I was missing out on what my body hinted was yet to come. No fucking way in hell. I wanted this, even if it was just this once. I was going to take this memory and cling to it as one perfect moment in my life.
Hawk slid his hands down my sides to the waistband of the pants. “Let me see all of you,” he murmured, his eyes dark with desire as he slowly peeled them down my legs. I lifted my hips to help him. The look of hunger in his gaze as it traveled the length of my body was strangely powerful despite my vulnerability.
When I was completely naked beneath him, he sat back on his heels, just looking at me. “Christ, you’re beautiful.” His voice was reverent, almost awed. Then he frowned, tracing his fingers over a sore spot on my side, and I glanced down my body. A reddish bruise was darkening my skin, but aside from a slight soreness there was no pain. “Can’t say I like this sight.” He leaned down and kissed the discolored area, trailing his lips all over it before moving back up my body. “Or this.” Hawk moved his lips over the scratches on my face. I had no idea how bad they were, but there was a slight sting as he brushed my cheek.
“They’re nothing, Hawk. I swear.” I arched my neck, wanting him to kiss me there, to lick and suck me. And yeah, I was a total pushover because the thought of Hawk putting his mark on me for everyone to see made me all kinds of hot. “Please don’t stop.”
I reached for the button of his jeans, suddenly impatient. “Your turn.” I fumbled with the button, brushing his cock. It jumped against my fingers and I jerked back, looking up at him, afraid I’d done something wrong.
He chuckled but didn’t move to help me. “Eager, aren’t you?”
“Of course I’m eager! You aren’t?” It was a stupid question, but the second I asked it, I had to know. Did he want this encounter as much as I did? “I told you I was horny,” I reminded him as I went back to fumbling with his zipper. My inexperience made me clumsy, but he didn’t seem to mind.
“Oh, I’m definitely eager, Killer.” Hawk moved to his knees and shoved his jeans down his hips. He gripped his cock and gave it a couple of strokes. Moisture beaded on the head, and I knew I needed a taste. I had never actually had sex, but I’d learned what men liked. Usually in the form of porn. It was one reason I’d made the decision now to leave instead of earlier. My father had decided I needed more hands-on training, and I wasn’t interested in going through anything like that. “So fuckin’ eager I’m afraid I’m gonna blow before I even get inside you.”
The gruffness in his voice and the way his gaze roamed over my body so possessively brought me back to the here and now. I licked my lips, my mouth going dry at the sight of him. He was huge, his cock standing proudly from a nest of dark hair. Nothing I’d watched to learn about sex could possibly have prepared me for the raw masculinity of Hawk’s body or the way my own responded to him.
