In the heat of their passion, they’d ainst the front door, and as he cupped her face to kiss her again, she lifted one leg around his hips to try to pull hi his hand from her hair back down her body, he realized he’d never lost control this fast He could barely focus on anything but hoeet her lips were, how soft her skin was, how good her hair smelled, how much he loved her soft moans of pleasure as she kissed him back with a desire that et into her bedrooht here against her front door He gave her one last, hot kiss, then swept her up into his arms

He should have known she wouldn’t miss a beat as she drew hisroom and down the hall to the door at the end of the hall without just dropping with her to the floor like a wild ani her bedrooh with Mary in his ar to reether, he took a step back fro dark hair was spread out across the pillows, and her dark green sweater and gorgeous flushed skin were utterly enticing as she lay atop the red velvet bedcover

"Come be with me, Jack" She shifted up on the bed to reach out for him "Please, I need you"

As he went back to her, heshe deserved--not only more pleasure than she’d ever known before, but also the love he’d been keeping deep inside just waiting for the moment when she appeared in his life

Mary’s lips curved with joy as she pulled hi they kissed, rolling over with each other on the soft velvet, hands stroking, er for each other Her passionif a lifetih to fill such a deep well of need

And then her hands wereher as he captured theave a final nip to her lower lip before lifting his head to stare down at her

Already a stunning woman, with her cheeks flushed and her eyes heavy with arousal, there wasn’t any painting, any vista, any wonder in the world that could match her beauty as she lay in bed beneath hiht in his chest as he looked down at her "What did I ever do right to deserve you?"

"Everything Everything you do is exactly right"

Shifting over her, he found the pulse point at the side of her neck again and let his teeth scrape gently over her sensitive skin The way she arched against hio slowly their first ti his hands beneath her back, he lifted the he and falling fast beneath the soft green wool as she shifted her shoulders so that he could slide the fabric up to reveal the swell of her brsts above her lacy bra

"Beautiful"

Forgetting all about stripping her sweater the rest of the way off, he reached out and brushed his fingertips over her soft flesh

"Jack"

His name shook on her lips as he lowered his head to trace over her skin with his mouth Her scenthis heart racing faster than it ever had before

When he’d been stealing kisses froripped the softness of her sweater in his fists, Jack couldn’t stop hilittered in her eyes as she stripped away her slacks fro beside her bed

If he’d been stunned by the flash of lace at her brsts, the lace at her hips knocked every last bit of oxygen frobut marvel Lost in the wonder of her, he didn’t realize Mary had taken his hands in hers until she lifted them to her lips One quick kiss to his knuckles and then she was slowly opening his hands to slide them down over her jaw, her neck, her collarbones, and then--sweet Lord, he wasn’t sure he’d ht in one piece--she placed them over her brsts

As she let him feel the hard beat of her heart, then lifted her hands fro her, Jack knew she wasn’t just silently telling hi she trusted hiht at least, to put her heart in his hands

Notorious for his steady hands as he soldered the wires on a circuit board, Jack couldn’t keep his fingers fro as he moved to slide the straps of her bra down off her shoulders She trembled beneath him, just as unsteady but with him all the way as he finally uncovered one perfect breast and then the other

It was pure instinct to cup Mary’s soft flesh with his hands and lower his head to take first one peak and then the other into his mouth She tasted even better than she looked, and as he drew on her with lips and tongue, she arched into his hands andbehind her, he flipped open the latch on her bra and tossed it to the floor to join her clothes Her skin was rosy and da her, and when he brushed his jaw across her aroused niles, her hips caainst him in a silent plea for more Her stomach muscles quivered beneath his lips as he ran kisses down the center of her body When bare skin was replaced with lace, he drove both of theertips and tongue She was even softer here, her scent spinning through him
