Irresistible Forces - Brenda Jackson [33]
His baby.
Their baby.
Never before had he wanted such a thing to happen more than he did now. He released her mouth and reached out and placed a gentle hand on her stomach as if willing it so. She gazed up at him, as if understanding the meaning of what he was doing. The possibility that she was perceptive enough to interpret his thoughts had a nerve-tingling effect on him.
For a fraction of a second, he just stared at her, feeling the heated flush of their connected bodies. It was nothing short of pure, raw sexual pleasure. And as he eased his body to lie beside her, still not ready to pull out of her, he looked forward to the next time they would make love.
“Thank you for calling room service and asking that they deliver our dinner at a more convenient time,” Taylor said after taking a sip of her iced tea. It was harder than she thought it would be to sit across from Dominic and attempt to eat a full-course meal. Each and every time his gaze touched her, she would feel the potent, invisible caress all over her body, making her remember what the two of them had shared in the bedroom.
“I think they understood, since we weren’t the only couple who postponed dinner to later,” Dominic said, pushing his plate back.
Taylor watched the gesture and swallowed deeply. It had been but a couple of hours since they’d last made love yet he wanted her again. The realization sent a shiver down her spine, because she wanted him, too. She picked up the tea glass and looked at it. The server had blatantly told them that it was plum tea, known as the ultimate erotic energizer. She believed him. After taking only a few sips she had felt a surge in her pulse, a pull in her belly and a throb between her legs. She’d thought a full stomach would rectify the problem but it hadn’t.
Still, she took another sip of the tea, knowing it was coursing through her bloodstream, releasing something she really didn’t need, considering her and Dominic’s actions of earlier. All he had to do was look at her and she felt the need to jump his bones. After making love that last time they had fallen asleep, only to wake up and make love again. Four times in one evening was definitely setting a record for her.
“Did you want to watch that movie later?”
She glanced over at him. “What movie?”
“The one the resort suggested that all the couples watch.”
Oh, that movie. Her heart began thumping at what the movie was probably about. “Do you think we need to watch it?”
He chuckled. “No, but we might find it interesting.”
She was pretty certain they would. “I’ll do whatever you want to do,” she decided.
He met her gaze. “What if I told you I wanted to clear this table and take you right on top of it?”
A vision of such a thing happening immediately speared through her mind and had hot blood rushing through her veins. “Would you really want to do that?”
“Yes.” He didn’t miss a beat in responding. “You would be my dessert, Taylor.”
He was giving her a wicked smile but she knew he was dead serious. She could feel her muscles weaken, her insides tremble. She also knew he was getting her hot and bothered on purpose. They were sitting across from each other wearing the resort’s complimentary bathrobes without a stitch of clothing underneath. It wouldn’t be hard to do what he’d suggested. In fact it would be downright easy with the way she was feeling.
She leaned forward knowing she was exposing a little of her cleavage in the process since her robe wasn’t pulled tightly together. “I’ve never been taken on a table before but I don’t want my first time to be planned. I want it to be spontaneous. I want it to just happen.”
“Okay.”
He had agreed as if such a thing happening wouldn’t pose a problem. “I like surprises,” she decided to add.
“You also enjoy giving surprises,” he said, taking a sip of his own tea. “I wasn’t expecting that sexy red number you put on earlier.”
She smiled, pleased she had caught him off guard. “Yes, I know.”
“I owe you one.”
She wanted to tell him he had already delivered
