“I’ve been in love with you for seven years, Mason Greer, and I want my due.”

My heart soared at her admission. How did I miss it? I’d seen her friendly, angry, and kind when she wasn’t avoiding being in the same room with me. But love…

How could I deny her anything? I waited another heart beat for her to change her mind, when she didn’t, I tilted her chin. “Let me taste you, wild cat.”

Her mouth parted, yet I waited…teased. I ran my nose along her face, her cheekbones, and the sensitive spot in front of her ears until she shuddered from her need.

This Charity wasn’t hiding what she wanted. She was the wild cat beneath the surface of her restraint. This was the Charity that called to my naughty side, the one whose existence I’d suspected but never saw until tonight.

My mouth grazed the corner of her lips. Nibbled along her lower lip until she welcomed me in. There was nothing routine or normal about the explosiveness of our first kiss. I was acutely aware of the woman in my arms, her ragged breaths and the way her body molded against mine in a perfect embrace. Her arms wrapped around my neck, fusing us together.

She moaned as I ran my tongue along the roof of her mouth. I captured each sound, promising to provoke a dozen more. I explored her mouth, and I temporarily submitted to the bold swipes of her tongue against mine until we were both breathless and gasping for air.

“Have you changed your mind, Charity?”

Her big brown eyes were glossy with the same fevered lust that held me prisoner. “No.”

“There is no turning back when we cross this line.”

In answer, she reached between us and cupped my dick through my pants. I didn’t close my eyes, though I craved nothing more than to see the stars floating behind my lids. I grabbed her hand. “Not yet,” I said, resisting the urge to see her on her knees with my dick stretching her mouth wide. “Not until I’ve tasted you.”

Hooking my finger under her bikini top, I lowered both straps, slowly revealing inch after inch of her glorious breasts. Her nipples sprang free. They were hard beads beckoning for the attention I longed to give. Unhooking the tiny silver clasp holding the top in place, I tossed the garment aside and flicked one engorged bud with my tongue.

Sharp nails dug into my shoulders as she arched onto her toes. “Ahh,” she hissed.

“Am I hurting you?”

“No.” She swallowed. “I didn’t realize how sensitive my breasts were… I felt the jolt…”

“Where?” I prompted.

Charity took my hand, placing it over her bikini bottom. Despite the damp material, warm heat radiated against his fingers. “Here.” Slowly, she pushed my hand lower and there was no doubt to her arousal when her liquid heat coated my fingers. “And here.”

“Say it,” I growled, needing to hear where she craved me most.

The wild cat held my gaze, and they almost undid me. “When you sucked my nipple, my pussy clenched.”

Dropping to my knees, I yanked her last shred of clothing to her ankles. “Step out of them.” She did my bidding. Her cunt was right there…

Warm.

Inviting.

Tempting.

One swipe from my tongue was all it would take to flood my mouth. The devil knew I was craving nothing more than to drown in her juices. “On the bed,” I said instead.

She turned, crawling onto the center of the mattress on her hands and knees. It was a seductive tease, a glorious sight that would make any man crumble, and I nearly did. But I wasn’t some inept youth. I was forty and knew exactly what I wanted. What I’d wanted from the beginning.

Charity reclined against a mountain of pillows and stared at me from under hooded eyes. Good, I wanted her to see exactly what she was about to get. I stripped, tossing my wrinkled suit aside.

When I was finally naked, she gasped. “You were keeping all that to yourself?”

“I’m happy to share.”

She drew her lower lip between her teeth. “That won’t fit inside me, Mason.” But even as she said the words, her eyes became glossy pools.

I matched her early challenge with one of my own. Then sweetened the pot with a reward. “You take my dick in that sweet little cunt of yours, Charity, and I’ll give you whatever you want.”
