He glanced to the coverlet and opened his eyes, his real eyes. Miren was still asleep, but her knees were apart. Her hand was deep in the water between her legs. “You’re fondling yourself.”
“I don’t know if I like that you can be both places and know what I’m doing, when I don’t know myself.”
“I’ll close my eyes. I won’t watch.”
She tilted back her head and closed her eyes to slits as she continued touching herself. “I think I can really feel this.”
He shook his head and climbed onto the bed. “Don’t think too hard. I want all your concentration here. If you wake up now…”
“But I don’t want to wake up,” she said softly. “I want to know what it’s like with you, without—”
“Without risking a thing. I know. And I get it. But you do know you’re going to have to commit.”
“Just not…yet. Please,” she said, reaching out.
He lowered himself over her, coming to rest against her warmth.
She smoothed her hands over his shoulders, scraped fingertips at his nape and then sank them into his hair.
Renner groaned and dipped his head, nipping at her chin, her nose, before sealing his mouth over hers. He drank her sighs and nudged apart her thighs, widening the space between and coming up slightly on his knees to press his cock between her folds.
“So much for foreplay,” she said, smiling when he broke the kiss.
“Foreplay’s overrated,” he said, giving her an intimate nudge.
She arched one brown brow. “Bet you wouldn’t be saying that if I was bending over your cock.”
“Baby, you really do know how to drive me crazy.”
Chapter Four
Miren was ready. She held her breath and tensed, wanting to still her mind to enjoy every sensation as he plunged inside her, but he drew swiftly away, leaving her to huff out her breath as she stared up at him. She gave him her meanest glare.
To his credit, Renner didn’t look unaffected. He closed his eyes while he drew and released several slow breaths. “Sorry about that. I shouldn’t have rushed you. I know better. But I got to thinking, who’s to say I’ll ever get another chance to know what it’s like to be with you? I don’t want to waste this chance.”
“You don’t know now,” she said snidely. “We’re fucking dreaming this. And I’ll bet my bath water’s getting cold.”
“I’ll take care of that,” he said, angling his head away, a look of concentration furrowing his brow.
The fact he could duck away at will to tend to her for real was beyond concerning. “Not the point. I’m due a massage from men who will give me exactly what I ask for.”
His expression hardened. “You may think you want a quick fuck, but you won’t respect me as a lover if that’s how this plays out. We have a boat, soft lighting, the gentle sway of the ocean…why not take our time?”
Because I’m ready to feel you move inside me! But she held her tongue. She didn’t want him knowing how sharp the edge of her desire had grown. He’d think she was his for the plucking. And he was already smug. Why give him an even bigger head?
But oh, that head was there, rising stiff and straight, the tip glistening with her arousal. Well, it was her dream, wasn’t it? She reached out and wrapped her fingers around his length to clasp him hard and then run her hand up and down his length, sending a little thrill of witch’s heat from her fingertips.
He clamped his hand around her wrist, but he didn’t tug her hand off him. Instead, he stared down at her fingers as she moved in more shallow plunges, up and down, then up again. At the top, she rubbed her thumb over his moist head, lingering over the eyelet opening.
She licked her mouth, drawing his gaze. Yeah, that’s right. Think about what my mouth would have felt like.
His fingers pinched her wrist and she let go with a soft yelp. Instead of feeling shocked by the unexpected pain, arousal tightened painfully in her womb. She glanced wide-eyed at Renner, who gave her a lazy, pleased smile.
“Liked that, did you?”
Then he moved down her body, clasping her hips in a bruising grip while he buried his mouth against her breast, moving his head in circles while he sucked hard on small patches of her skin before centering over her nipple and pulling it inside his mouth. He drew so hard her toes curled, and deep inside her, liquid released in a small, instantaneous gush.
He drew hard again and then teethed the tip, just hard enough it stung. Deliciously. Something she hadn’t known she’d enjoy, but he’d so easily discovered. Her nipple dimpled and her belly quivered. Miren spread her thighs beneath him and pushed up to grind her mound against his abdomen, groaning and then hissing when he bit her harder.
