All I've Ever Wanted - Adrianne Byrd [78]
Her heart skipped a beat when she heard a light rap on the door.
“This is it,” she warned herself, then turned to let Max in.
Max blinked at the vision in red that greeted him at the door. His heart pounded in double time. The soft floral scent of her perfume captivated his senses and he moved toward her as if pulled by some strong magnetic force.
He reached for her, unable to suppress the urge to touch her. “I thought this night would never arrive,” he whispered against her ear.
Kennedy listened to the hypnotic rhythm of his heart. She was suddenly unsure of what she was supposed to do. It had been so long since she had done anything like this. What if she disappointed him?
He lifted her chin, then slowly allowed his fingers to trail lightly over her warm, silky cheek, stroking it soothingly. He then leaned in and kissed her again, erasing all her doubts.
She strained against him and the swollen tips of her breasts pressed against him.
He responded with a guttural groan.
Encouraged, she slid her arms around him and molded her body against his muscled frame.
Max’s hand slid down her back, causing a ripple of desire to course through her.
First relieving him of his jacket and tie, Kennedy grew more aggressive with each article of clothing. When, at last, the rest of their clothing had fallen to the floor, she marveled at the sight before her. Her gaze traveled from his handsome face down to his broad chest and flat stomach, then stopped at his swollen manhood, where she carefully slid on a condom.
She pressed her naked body against him and felt her flesh tingle.
Max scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the bed. His hands seemed to be everywhere at the same time and she loved the feel of them exploring her body.
“I need you,” he said in a husky voice. Then he sprinkled kisses across her stomach.
She couldn’t seem to catch her breath as his mouth returned to taste every inch of her breasts before he gently parted her legs and allowed his tongue to explore the valley between her thighs.
Kennedy cried out his name at the invasion of his tongue. She gave herself over completely to the expertise of his lovemaking.
Max entered her slowly and together they discovered their own frenzied rhythm. Soon ecstasy flooded the depths of her soul, turning her body into liquid fire.
As the lovers lay breathlessly in each other’s arms, Kennedy whispered, “I wish that it could al ways be like this between us.”
“Be careful. You might just get what you wish for.”
She laughed as she snuggled against him. “That’s the whole point. Tonight, I’ve learned that dreams can come true, and I have so many dreams for us. And, look at you. You’ve been awarded joint custody. Your son will now live six months a year with you. Aren’t you happy?”
“Thrilled.” Max fondled one of her tan nipples before taking it into his mouth and making a popping sound.
Kennedy playfully pushed him away. “Will you get serious?”
“I’ve told you. I’m always serious.”
“What about you?”
“Look, I found all I’ve ever wanted the moment we met. And I’m determined to keep you no matter what it takes.”
His words melted the last fears in her heart, and she scattered featherlight kisses across his face before giving in again to the magic of his lovemaking.
