Excerpt
Angie stretched, and for the first time in days, it hardly
hurt at all. Okay, it still hurt like a bitch, but she wasn’t going to admit
it. She had plans. Admitting she was hurting was not going to get her what she
wanted. She threw off the covers and meandered into the kitchen.
“That smells really good, what is it?”
“Chicken stir-fry and noodles.”
Her mouth watered. She slid by him, a lot closer than
necessary, to grab a water glass out of the cupboard.
“Let me get that.” He handed her the glass, and lightly
touched her waist in the process.
She put her hand on top of his. “You can press harder. I’m
not made of glass.” She grinned.
Finn frowned. “Are you trying to tell me you’re not in pain
still? Because I’m not buying it. I’ve had broken ribs.”
“Just one rib is broken. One,” she reminded him. “And my
waist is fine.”
“I saw your hip.”
Angie pressed her finger to his lips. “I just wanted some
water.” He raised an eyebrow. “Okay, and to brush up against you. I am doing
better, except my neediness level is off the chart.”
He gently cupped her hips and brought her closer. She felt
his heat, his strength, his desire. She wiggled against his erection. He hissed
in a breath. “My neediness level is
pretty damn high too. I think it needs to be measured.”
Angie blinked, and threw back her head and laughed. He
moved, thrust his fingers into her hair, and drew her in for a kiss, the likes
of which she had never experienced. His lips were a hard, hungry wonder making
her open and beg for more.
His tongue swirled in, and her head spun with carnal bliss.
She sucked him deeper, scraping him with her teeth, enjoying the growl that
sent ripples to her core. He plunged in again, and she nipped his tongue. His
large hand gripped her ass causing her nipples to harden and her pussy to weep.
She jerked away, her eyes wide.
“Bedroom.” Was that husky purr her voice?
Her Boy Scout kissed the top of her head and turned to make
sure all the burners were off. Then she was in his arms, and he was striding to
her room.
“It smells like a strawberry field in here, but I know one
thing that will smell even better.” She froze. Oh, he was not going to be like
any of the polite Southern-Boy lovers of her past.
He set her down beside the bed. She crossed her arms in front
so she could take off her blouse.
“Oh no, I get to unwrap my present.”
“Faster this way.” Then she did a stupid thing and tried to
hurry, wincing in pain as she pulled off her top.
“Dammit, Angie,” came the muffled roar. “We do this my way,
or not at all. Are we clear?”
“Yes, sir.” Would he stop if she saluted? No, he wouldn’t,
not with the way he stared at her cleavage. Thank God for the power of boobs.
“You’re beautiful.”
“You’ve seen me before. As a matter of fact, I wasn’t
wearing a bra.”
He looked up at her and shook his head. “That can be easily
rectified.” Finn unclasped her bra and peeled it down her arms. Then he knelt
in front of her, and cupped both breasts, and licked a nipple. Her legs lost
all strength, and she would have fallen except for his fast action. He had her
lying on the bed and stripped out of her slacks and panties in under a minute.
“Beautiful,” he reiterated.
Angie was still trembling from the one caress. He pulled his
shirt off with that manly over the back, one armed tug, and she finally got to
see the most gorgeous chest she had ever seen in her life. She held out her
arms.
***
Angie still had bruising on her hip, and her ribcage was
still wrapped with tape.. In no way, shape or form did it detract from her
beauty. But it did make him very conscious of the fact that the formidable
Angie Donatelli needed to be treated like spun glass.
“Now, Finn,” she commanded. That stopped him. What? She expected
him to climb on board? What kind of lovers had she had in the past? He cupped
her ankle and then trailed the backs of his fingers up the inside of her leg.
Higher and higher, closer and closer to the bare mound that beckoned like a
candle at midnight.
She squirmed, and parted her legs further so he was tempted,
and finally he was there. Just a touch and she gasped his name. Delicate flesh
he had to taste and savor. He needed this closeness like he needed his next
breath. Finn nuzzled, and licked, as she shuddered and sighed. Carefully, he
coaxed her over the edge, exalting in her cry of pleasure.
“Now, Finn,” she pleaded. He stepped off the bed and shucked
his jeans, then grabbed a condom. He laid down beside her and gathered her
close. She was trembling, and so was he. For the first time in months, he was
close to finding something he needed, something clean and pure. She turned in
his arms.
All pleading was gone. Her fingers traced his cheekbones.
She kissed his forehead. His eyelids, his lips. She was killing him. “You’ve
given me so much, Finn. You don’t see it. But I’ve never had someone stand
beside me and want to protect me before.”
“I don’t understand,” he whispered. Her skin was so soft as
he touched the shell of her ear.
“Of course, you don’t. Because you’re just being Finn
Crandall. You’re the man I’m coming to love.” Finn froze, and had to have felt
it. “Damn, too much, too soon, wasn’t it? How about the man I’m coming to
lust?” She gave him a cheeky grin, and he his heart lurched. Ginger had made
love a four letter word, he needed to reclaim it.
“Love, Angie. I like the word love a whole lot better. Lust
is good, but love is what’s happening in this room—in this bed.”
“Then why did you tense up?”
“Bad memories. But you’re chasing them away.”
“I’m glad. Do you want to talk about it?” Her brown eyes a
soft liquid brown.
He needed another kind of intimacy right then. “Later, I
want this kind of love, first.” He bent down and parted her lips with his. The
flavor of strawberries exploded across his senses. She stroked him with one
hand, while the other pulled the condom wrapper from his hand.
“I can’t wait, I need you.” Her thumb glided over his tip,
and he was close to losing it.
“Slow, I need this to last. We only have one first time,
Lady, I want to savor it.”
Her breath hitched, and she kissed his chin. He brushed the
arch of her brow, and gazed into her eyes. Then he stroked downward until he
was once again cupping her breast, rolling her nipple to a swollen point.
“So good,” she sighed softly, was there pain in her sigh? He
bent, and took the crest in his mouth, holding her gently down on the bed, and
forcing her to keep still for his ministrations.
“Let me move.”
“No. It hurts you.”
“Staying still hurts more.”
She had so much to learn. He squeezed, and she cried out.
“Just lie there and enjoy this. I need to touch you, please you. I can’t stand
the thought of you in pain.” He tenderly clasped her delicate flesh, loving how
her breath caught.
“Again.”
He obliged, and then his thumb rasped over her nipple, again
and again. She made a small move, and he stopped.
“Finn?”
“You move and I stop, that’s the game.”
“I don’t like that game.” He softly grasped her nipple with
his teeth, and she shrilled with pleasure as his tongue worked the nub. The
moment she moved he stopped.
“I. Hate. This. Game.”
“I don’t want you to be in pain.”
“There’s a part of me that is painfully achy. Painfully
empty.” She smiled. He licked her nipple one last time, and then kissed her
beautiful smile. She drew him in, he gloried in the closeness and realized she
was right. He found the wrapper, and she helped to get the protection in place,
doubling the amount of time it took with four hands attempting the task.
Their laughter filled the bedroom, then they looked at one
another and realized the moment had finally come.
“Finn?” her voice trembled.
“I have you.” Had it ever been more important? He watched
her languid expression of joy as he slowly slid home. She tried to lift, but he
held her still. “Just squeeze baby.” He felt her clutch, and sweat broke out
all over his body. She gave him a dazed smile as she clenched in a sweet rhythm
with his every thrust.
“This is incredible,” she breathed.
“It’s you. You take my breath away, Lady.” Faster, but still
careful, he moved. She gripped him tighter and made the sweetest sounds of
passion. Her nails dug into his ass, as she pushed upwards, and he thrust
harder and faster, loving her tight pulsing.
He watched as her eyes glazed over and she started to
tremble. He continued his loving strokes, and watched as she flew, then he
followed. When he came back to himself, he realized he had finally found
redemption.
