When Garrett stood and his hands slipped under her cah of relief in check

He knehat she wanted without her even having to say it

She stared up at hi in his dark eyes Serena's hands slid up his powerful arers twined in his thick, daain His passionate kiss made her body vibrate with arousal Garrett's hands eased over her ribcage When his palers twisted deeper in his hair and she pressed her body to his, wanting to feel all of him melded to her

He broke the kiss and his ain, his teeth and tongue gently teasing her sensitive flesh His thuht buds and sti she'd ever known before

A soft whimper escaped her parted lips

"You like how I touch you,” he said in a quiet voice

"Yes,” she whispered His hands continued to caress her breasts Serena could hardly wait for his ed for more of his attention

As though he knehat she wanted—what she needed—his hand pushed the thin material upward Serena relinquished her hold on hih above her head as Garrett lifted the caerie dropped to the hardwood floor Then Garrett's hands slid down her arms

Serena held her breath in anticipation of her bare flesh touching his When their bodies ain, she let out a low ht Garrett's skin ar hard muscles that seemed to surround her His very presence soothed her insides, allowing her insecurities to slip away It no longer mattered that she had such little experience with heated moments such as these She realized she didn't need to know anything e the way her body responded to Garrett's touch And to allow herself the pleasure of touching him

His ain and he pulled her into another deep, titillating kiss He backed her up until she felt her ainst the backs of her calves Gently, he lowered her down to the bed, one of his powerful legs slipping between her parted thighs His knee hit the mattress and he carefully eased her down until she was sprawled across the bed Settling between her legs, Garrett covered her completely

Serena had never known such bliss To have the ainst hers, to experience his entire being connecting with hers in such an intiled with anticipation She had no idea what to expect from Garrett Slater, yet she sensed every moment with him would be a pleasurable one

As he stared down at her, his s eyes locked with hers, Serena felt the corners of her mouth quiver The way Garrett roused her libido rin from ear to ear Never before had Serena been so overcosti

"You're not afraid of me,” he said in a soft voice

Her head rolled from side to side on the mattress “No"

"Do you trust me, Serena?"
