She smelled like rain and red wine and wo her Maybe if he were a better er, could have been iven her ht now all thather his

He moved his hands to her shoulders and ran them over her silky shirt until he found three little buttons just behind her neck and undid the her arms for him so that he could slip the shirt over her head Every inch of skin that he uncovered he had to cover with his mouth As he slowly drew her shirt up and off and discovered the places that asp with pleasure--the upper swell of her breasts, the indentation of her belly button, the hollow of her shoulder--he lingered there and there and there to please them both

When he finally let her shirt fall to the floor and lifted his ain She earing a pink lace and silk bra that was so fine it was nearly translucent He wanted to leave it on her so that he couldhim to rip it off her, too

He lowered his ue, and when sheinto his hair so that she could hold him close, he had to close his lips over her nipple on a ainst him, pure sensual wo breaths, the way she trembled with need Unable to resist, he dren the cups of the bra with rougher hands than he would have if he’d been less desperate for her, if he hadn’t spent the last ishing for thisevery other wohtly flushed, and her full, rose-tipped breasts beckoned hi the soft flesh reverentlyuntil his greed and boundless hunger for her took hiain

With a harsh yank on delicate fabric, he pulled the bra coain, only this time there was no silk, no lace between the strokes of his tongue and the gentle slide of his teeth over sensitive flesh

Noah wanted her so da that went so far beyond desire that it could onlyhead over heels for her, had started falling the second she’d lifted her head from the snow in Lake Tahoe and looked into his eyes One look was all it had taken for him to see not only how beautiful she was, but also hoeet

With his hands, he cupped her exquisite breasts and when she arched into his hands and roan of pleasure He ainst his palhts when he’d spend hours on her breasts, where he’d taste and tease her with his lips and tongue and teeth, when he could let the greed rest for long enough to play But as she whispered, "I love the way you touchher until she was begging for release, would have to come later

Her lush curves had driven hiht her as they fell and he’d held her against him to keep her safe Noah wasn’t an assman

With lips and hands, he caressed every inch of her skin as he continued to undress her, sliding the zipper of her skirt down so that it, too, could drop onto his bedrooel," he said when she stood before hihty angel"

"I earing the saels," she told him, "underneath my ski clothes"

"If I had known that--" He took her all the way to the bed and laid her on it, her hair spread out across the pillow, her body lush, her skin soft, his every dreao"

Colbie knew her body wasn’t perfect Her hips were a little too big Her legs would never be long and lean like a model’s But she also kne responsive she was to touch

And she kne much desire there was in Noah’s eyes whenever he looked at her Lust flared so powerfully from him that heat flowed all across her skin

From that first moment up on the snowy mountain, he’d looked at her like that Whether she was covered in a down jacket or was naked except for her panties and heels, he desired her

And for the first time in her life, she felt absolutely perfect As beautiful as he’d--repeatedly--told her she was

She didn’t kno long he simply stared before he finally put his hands on her All she kneas that it was too long But whatever she’d expected from him, it wasn’t this slowthe curve of her eyebrows, the arch of her cheekbones, the thrust of her chin And then down her neck to the curve of her shoulders, the soft edges of her breasts, the bones of her rib cage, until he reached the soft swell of her stomach and hips

She tried to keep her eyes open, tried to hold onto rational thought, but oh, it felt so good, and ultimately she had no choice but to sink into the pleasure of his touch, her eyes fluttering closed as she drank in the shocking sweetness of his hands on her Slowly, he ran his hands down her thighs, skirting past the extremely sensitive skin at the backs of her knees, to press his fingertips into her calves so perfectly that she groaned aloud at the pleasure of his touch He slipped off her heels and when her feet were bare, he stroked theive every part of her pleasure, leaving nothing out And then, finally, he drew her panties from her body, too

"Beautiful" The one word from Noah’s lips was more of a caress than any other’s man’s touch "So beautiful"

She opened her eyes just in tiht of her sex, slick and wet and coazeand she finally realized he still had all of his clothes on Immediately, she reached for his jacket and slid it from his broad shoulders

She could feel the heat of hith beneath the pressed dress shirt, as her hand moved to the buttons that ran down his chest She wanted hi covering it up He could take off his clothes much faster than she could do it for hi about her being the one to uncover hiertips over his skin, his bones, his ainst her knuckles as she undid one button and then another

But when she finally had his shirt pulled out of his pants and all the way open, she had to stopand stare
