She was like an addiction. A drug pumping through my bloodstream.
I kissed her hungrily, my hands roaming all over her body. The dip on her back just above her ass drove me insane.
Her taste was turning me on. Her breathing was turning me on.
Her lashes fluttered as she closed her eyes, and she sighed as my tongue glided over her skin, down the long line of her neck to that sensitive spot just below her ear. When I placed my lips there, she shivered.
Damn, we had to stop.
Just a few more minutes, I told myself. But when she plastered her body against me, her breasts pressing against my chest, I lost all reason.
I plundered her mouth, exploring it with my tongue. When her tongue touched mine, I exploded. My hands claimed her body, her full breasts fitting perfectly in my palms. I wanted to see her bare breasts, to suck on them until she cried out again.
I held her close, backing her up until she hit the wall. I grabbed her leg and hooked it around my hip, grinding myself against her heat. Her hands wrapped around the nape of my neck, her fingers tightening in my hair, pulling hard enough for it to hurt. I loved it. And then she moaned. Drove me fucking wild.
“Jesus,” I said breathlessly.
I’d only wanted a taste, a sip. But now I wanted to drink. Swallow her breathy sighs. Savor her creamy skin. I was lost in her…lost in my Red.
When she bit my lip and sucked, I growled. She nibbled my lips for a few moments before biting. So fucking sexy.
“Want you so fucking bad,” I whispered in her ear.
I scooped her up in my arms, my lips never leaving hers.
The bedroom, I thought, struggling to think. Too far. I spotted the couch a few feet away and hurriedly carried her there without breaking our kiss. I roughly laid her on the cushions.
I straddled her, pulling my shirt off, and then I froze and looked at her.
Fuck me.
Her lips were red and swollen, her pupils dilated. She was half lying, half sitting up with her elbows supporting her weight as she stared up at me.
So fucking beautiful.
My eyes widened as she sat up, shyly placing her hands on my thighs.
My muscles tensed. I swallowed nervously, watching her raptly as I waited for her next move. Waiting…waiting…
I thought I’d died when she reached for her shirt, took it off.
Holy Jesus…
So lost. I was so lost in her spell… I watched as she reached for my hand. I leaned down to accommodate her as she slowly placed my hand on her cheek. She stared at me with those dark mysterious eyes, kissed the palm of my hand.
There were very few moments in my life that I knew would stick with me forever—lasting only a few seconds but irrevocably staying with me, finding a spot in my heart and burrowing in there, changing me for the rest of my life.
This. This was one of them.
I was always surrounded by people, always thought I belonged with them. I was never lonely, but I was never really happy either. I didn’t realize until now, as we stared into each other’s eyes, that I had never really belonged wit
h anyone.
Until Red. Until she came into my life.
She was home. My home.
“Caleb.” Her voice was whisper soft, a siren’s call to my senses.
