CHASING TROUBLE

How far was she prepared to take this?

How far was he prepared to let her take it? She lifted her face to lick the lobe of his ear. “I haven’t thanked you properly for my ring, have I?”

She gently cupped his erection again before her fingers crept back up his chest. He didn’t know if he was relieved or disappointed, then found himself swallowing as she moved her thigh just enough that her knee pressed against his excitement.

“When we get back, I’ll thank you properly,” she breathed, rubbing her nose over his cheek then capturing his bottom lip with her teeth. She nipped it gently at the same moment she encircled his other nipple. He tightened his grip on her thigh, fighting the heady urge to slip his fingers beneath the material.

Just at the moment lust was about to override propriety, she unhooked her leg, jumped to her feet and tugged at his hand. “That’s enough air. Let’s dance.”

Stunned at the change of pace, he stared at the beautiful face alive with more delight than he had seen in…since he’d come back to her. “You want to dance?” he managed to croak.

She pulled her lips together before another wide smile lit her face, and she leaned over to speak in his ear, giving him a wonderful view of her naked breasts in the dip made in the material. “Not really. I want you to take me home.”

He just stared at her. Somehow, her smile widened even more.

“Have I stopped you from thinking, my husband?”

Wickedness flashed in her eyes before she slipped her hand over his buttocks and ran her tongue over his lips. “Now you know how you make me feel.” Then she stepped back again and waved the phone he hadn’t even felt her filch from his back pocket at him.

Nicholas snatched it from her and called his driver.

The moment they were alone in the private cabin of his car, Nicholas turned off the microphone connecting them to the driver and pulled Caroline in for a kiss he’d thought he might explode from waiting for.

Whatever burning arousal her teasing had done to him, it had had the same effect on her. In a medley of tongues and ferociously moving lips, she strad-dled him, her hands going straight to the buttons of his shirt and practically ripping them apart. At his waist, she yanked on his belt and then, with a grace that was almost poetic, she dropped to her knees on the cabin’s spacious floor. Undoing his chinos, she grasped the sides and tugged them down past his hips and then, finally, freed him from the torturous confines.

There was no hesitation. Her head dipped and she took him in her mouth.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Theos, but the sensations were incredible. Mind-blowing. The way she ran her tongue the length of it, the way she squeezed…He groaned and closed his eyes, reaching for her hair to thread his fingers through. What was it about this woman he reacted to so viscerally? How did her touch burn him in a way that no one else’s did? When she danced back up his body to straddle him again, he clasped the back of her head and kissed her deeply, a kiss broken as he moaned into her mouth at the encompassing pleasure that filled him as she sank down on him.

The relief of having Nicholas inside her was so great that Caroline held onto it for as long as she could. Already there was a quickening building inside her and she tried her hardest to fight it, wanting to savor the pleasure. Then, as she finally began to ride him, throwing her head back in ecstasy when his mouth closed over an aching nipple, she realized this was a pleasure she would enjoy for the rest of her life and, bucking onto him, she cried out the rapture erupting through her every pore.

Caroline lay with her head on Nicholas’ chest, listening to his heartbeat. She loved the solid thump it made against her cheek, the way it seemed to sink through her skin and become a part of her.

“Are you awake?” she whispered.

It had to be at least three in the morning. After their frantic drive home, they’d rushed through the house to his bedroom and done it all again. She should be shattered but she was still buzzing from the adrenaline of the best night out she’d had in possibly forever.

“That depends on what you want,” he murmured sleepily, tightening his hold around her.

“Nothing. Well, nothing for a few more minutes,” she teased.

Stroking her back, he laughed. “I think I might need a few more minutes too, Care”

She gently nipped at a flat, brown nipple.

“You’re sex mad.” There was admiration in his voice.

“Sex mad for you,” she corrected.

“As long as it’s only for me then carry on.”

She dragged herself over his chest so her breasts crushed against it and she could look at his gorgeous face. “You do know it is only you, don’t you?”

A furrow formed in his brow. She kissed him lightly and ran her fingers through his hair, then sighed dreamily. “You’re the only man I’ve ever wanted this way, the only man I’ll ever be with.”

Suddenly she was flat on her back, Nicholas pinning her to the mattress as he stared into her eyes, the expression on his face unreadable before he suddenly crushed his mouth to hers in a kiss so passionately violent that arousal flared for them both again and soon Caroline was moaning in his arms and clinging to him as he drove their mutual passion to glorious heights.

The next few days managed to pass both crazily fast and crazily slow. On the one hand was their coming wedding, the reception of which was doubling as a birthday party for their son. Everything had been booked and guests confirmed. Nicholas had employed the most efficient wedding planner and given her all the funds needed to grease any palms that needed it. The day seemed to be approaching with the speed of a freight train.

The crazily slow side came from the joy of just being alive. Many happy hours were spent with Nicholas and their son, just the three of them. In the evenings they would put Charlie to bed and when Caroline was satisfied he was fast asleep, they would lock the bedroom door and make love until they were so spent that sleep claimed them, whether they wanted it to or not.
