Chapter Six
Redford swept Carmen into his arms, barely able to hold it together. It had to be the stormy weather sending them both over the edge. Also, for him it was her beauty and her scent. Just knowing that in mere minutes, he would take her sexy dress completely off had him quickly moving to the bedroom. The anticipation was killing him. He had one intent only and that was to make her his.
His...?
He nearly stumbled at that thought, but quickly recovered when he mentally clarified what he meant. She would be his only for tonight. One and done. That was the only thing he could mean because he considered no woman his.
The moment he reached her bed, he stood her beside it and quickly dispensed of her dress. His breath caught in his throat when he saw her. He had figured she wasn’t wearing a bra, but the sheer, barely-there scrap of satin covering her femininity enticed more than it shielded.
His tongue felt thick in his mouth just imagining her taste. If it was anything like the deliciousness he’d discovered in her mouth then he was in deep trouble.
Lowering to his knees, he slowly slid the pair of thong panties down her gorgeous legs, while inhaling her arousing scent. When she stepped out of them, he tossed them aside and leaned back as his gaze trailed over her entire body, not missing anything.
“Now it’s my turn to remove the rest of your clothes, Redford.”
“Not yet.”
She lifted a brow. “Not yet?”
“No. There’s something I need to...”
“To what?” she asked when it was apparent that he’d lost his train of thought.
He needed to taste her as much as he needed to breathe.
“Redford?”
He met her gaze. The heat sizzling between them totally consumed him. Instead of answering her, he leaned forward, clutched her hips. Like a greedy man wholly ravenous for his next meal, he began kissing her all over her belly and lavishing licks around her navel. When she grabbed hold of his shoulders, the touch sent him spiraling over the edge.
His mouth inched downward from her belly to the juncture of her thighs. His target was the core of her femininity, and unadulterated desire ripped through him. Unable to hold back or keep himself in check any longer, he planted his mouth right at her center.
His tongue slid through the hot wetness of her feminine folds. Unable to help himself, he tightened his hold on her hips and drove his tongue deeper, stroking his tongue inside of her.
From the way her fingers dug into his shoulder blades and her deep moans, she was already there. But he wanted her totally consumed, like he was. With a greed he didn’t know he possessed, his tongue delved even deeper. He stroked her clit faster. She was so hot he could taste her heat.
Driven by a need to make her even hotter, he began using circular motions with his tongue. This was only the beginning.
Carmen was convinced Redford was trying to kill her. She had lost the little control she’d had the moment he removed her dress and slid her panties down her legs. But nothing compared to the moment he’d slid his tongue inside her and began making love to her with his mouth.
She had read about it and heard about it, but to experience the real thing was sending her up in flames. First it was kisses and now this. She was convinced his tongue was a weapon of mass gratification. When torrid sensations ripped through her, she screamed, unable to hold back any longer. Her body exploded into what she knew was her very first orgasm.
It was everything she’d dreamed it would be with the man giving it to her. The intensity was so great she tried pushing him away one instant and then digging hard into his shoulders to keep his mouth latched to her the next. It was only when her screams ended, and her shivers subsided, that he got off his knees and swept her into his arms. She was glad because her knees were about to give out on her.
He placed her on the bed, and she gazed at him through glazed eyes, watching him unzip his pants and slide them down a pair of masculine thighs. His briefs followed and when he stood there naked her gaze automatically went to his middle.
The sight of his large, thick shaft nearly overwhelmed her, and she felt her satisfied body become needy again. What on earth was wrong with her? She needed to focus but the only thing her mind wanted to concentrate on was him. When he’d sheathed himself in a condom and moved toward the bed, she leaned up, ready for him.
He joined her and pulled her into his arms. The only thing that mattered was that the man she loved was about to make her his. When he positioned his body over hers, she gazed up at him, awed by the look in his eyes. Tonight would be the beginning of what she knew would be a wonderful relationship. She would heal whatever pain he’d endured, whatever had driven him to act the part of a heartbreaker. He would see that all women weren’t the same.
When she felt him sliding his hard erection into her, she adjusted her body as it became difficult for him to continue. She knew the moment he realized why. Before he could say anything, she wrapped her arms around his neck and brought his mouth down on hers.
She began kissing him the way he’d been kissing her. The tension she felt within him eased away under the onslaught of her mouth. He took over the kiss and their mouths mated with the frenzy of earlier. It wasn’t long before he pushed through the barrier and began thrusting inside of her. Slowly at first but then her inner muscles began clenching him tight, harder and faster.
She felt no pain. The two years waiting for him had been worth it. Hopefully, he felt the same. Over the coming years she would show him that a soulmate was far better than a sex mate could ever be.
She stopped thinking when he began licking around her mouth, corner to corner, while he continued to thrust hard inside of her. “I can’t get enough of you, Carmen.”
That admission further thrilled her heart and then, simultaneously, their bodies exploded together. She screamed, and he threw his head back and hollered out her name. It was like an orgasmic volcano had erupted and they were caught up in the aftermath. She felt submerged in pleasure so profound that after her screams ended, she chanted his name over and over again.
Their bodies were still shuddering, and the magnitude triggered another orgasm, then another. Outside the cottage, Denver, Colorado, steadfastly felt the impact of the storm. Inside the cottage, Carmen experienced the impact of profound, unadulterated pleasure in Redford’s arms.
