Turning to face her, he took in the sight of her wearing his white t-shirt from last night—nothing else visible but long, bare legs.
He dropped a kiss to her mouth, slow and lingering. “How’d you sleep?”
Her smile reminded him of the Mona Lisa. Full of feminine mystery. “Better than I have in a long time.”
“Good. You needed it.” He couldn’t help arching his brow. “Must’ve been all the great sex.”
Her cheeks pinkened. “Might have been.”
She peered at him through her lashes and gave him a sly smile. “We may need to do it again to test that hypothesis.”
Count him in as an enthusiastic participant. “Anything I can do to assist. After all, a hypothesis should be tested multiple times to account for different variables.”
“Imagine all the variables we could try,” she purred.
Purred.
There was no other way to describe the velvet brush of her voice across his skin.
The carnal look in her eyes made his dick stand at attention.
Breakfast could wait.
Gripping her waist, he lifted her onto the counter. Her shirt bunched in his hands, exposing her hips.
No panties.
Caleb forgot to breathe.
Lust rolled over him in a tidal wave and short-circuited any rational thought. His fingers curled around her thighs. Held them open.
“Look at you, sweetheart. So beautiful.”
His voice came out a guttural rasp. Which was fitting because his instincts were all animal at the moment.
He swiped a finger down her slit. Gathered up her honey and brought it to his lips.
So sweet.His desert rose.
“Caleb.” Gia arched beneath his touch, exposing the smooth, pale column of her neck.
It was an offering he was powerless to resist. His mouth latched onto the soft skin. He nipped, then licked, branding her with his mark.
She shuddered. Pulled him closer.
Not enough room on the counter.
Not for what he wanted to do. He lifted his head long enough to scan his surroundings.
Table.Round with a pedestal base. Sturdy enough.
Scooping Gia in his arms, he carried her to the breakfast nook, beneath a window that looked out at open grassland and a grazing donkey.
He laid her out like a sacrifice. Dropped to his knees and hauled her to his mouth.
And feasted.
The sexy sounds she made, the way her hips moved, pressing herself against him. He was drunk with lust.
