“Scarlett, I don’t think?—”
I pressed a finger to his lips, silencing him. “Shh. I know what I’m doing.” With a swift motion, I tugged at his belt, pulling him closer. His breathing quickened, but he didn’t resist as I undid the buckle and tugged his shirt free from his pants. With a flick of my wrist, I undid the buttons, then dragged my nails slowly down the exposed skin of his chest. I smiled at the tiny shiver that ran through him.
“I want you,” I whispered.
“You have me,” he growled.
And then his hands were on me, tugging my tank top up. His mouth was hot on my skin as he nibbled and kissed his way down my neck. I moaned softly. Christ, he felt so good, I could melt.
My hands fumbled with the zipper of his pants, and he stepped back briefly to let them fall to the floor. My heart was hammering as I took in the sight of him—strong, muscular, and so damn hot.
I felt powerful at that moment. Desirable. I stepped back, kicking off my pants, and pulled him toward the open double doors leading to the pool. The bright sunlight bathed us as we stepped outside, our gazes locked.
“You’re so fucking gorgeous,” he muttered, his eyes dark with need.
I dove into the pool, relishing the cool water on my heated skin. The rush of it, the feeling of being naked and free—it was fucking exhilarating.
Seconds later, I heard the splash as he joined me. The water rippled around us as we swam toward each other. Our lips met under the clear blue sky, passionate and hungry. I wrapped my legs around his waist, and he pushed me back against the pool wall, our mouths devouring each other.
His hands roamed, gripping my hips as he lifted me slightly, pressing me against him. I could feel his heart racing, his breath coming in short gasps against my neck.
Rhett lifted me until I was sitting on the edge of the pool, the cool tiles sending a shiver through me. My legs were still in the water, dangling down into the refreshing blue. His hands gripped my thighs, pushing them apart as he settled between them.
Leaning forward, he pressed open-mouthed kisses down my neck, over my collarbone, to my breast. My breath caught when he took my nipple into his mouth, while reaching up and playing with my other breast. His tongue swirled and his teeth gently tugged, sending flickers of pleasure straight to my core.
I whimpered as his mouth trailed lower, over the soft swell of my belly. I was barely showing, but even so, his eyes met mine, dark and intense, before he lowered his head further.
With gentle hands, he urged my legs wider. My breath hitched as I felt the first swipe of his tongue, hot and wet against my clit. I shuddered, grabbing onto his shoulders for support as he sank into the task with clear enjoyment.
His tongue teased, flicking and swirling, driving me insane. I sucked in a breath and arched my back, my skin tingling with pleasure. My hands tightened on his shoulders, my fingers curling as his mouth worked its magic.
My head fell back, and a soft moan escaped my lips as the tension coiled tighter and tighter inside me. “Fuck, that’s so good. Oh god!”
Rhett suckled gently, then pushing a finger inside me and curling it, flicked his tongue over my clit, sending shockwaves of bliss through me.
“Rhett,” I gasped. “I—oh?—”
He hummed softly; the vibrations sending me over the edge. My eyes squeezed shut as my release crashed over me, my body shaking with the force of it.
Slowly, I floated back down to earth, my body trembling and my breath coming in short gasps. Rhett kissed his way back up my body, finally pressing his lips gently to mine.
I tasted myself on his mouth, and it sent another shiver through me.
“Wow,” I whispered.
He chuckled softly. “Glad to be of service, Ms. Wright. Now I want you to do something for me.”
“Anything.” And I meant it. The way my body was still humming, still hungry for him, I’d give him anything he asked for.
He moved next to me and boosted himself from the pool, then pulled me to my feet. “I’m gonna lie back on this recliner, and you’re gonna do some work.”
“Work, you say? What kind of work?”
His eyes burned with heat I recognized well as he moved to the lounge chair. I couldn’t take my eyes off him as he lay down and wrapped his hand around his thick cock, stroking up and down. “You’re gonna suck me off, like the good girl you are.”
Oh, that voice. It did wicked things to me, making me sit up straighter, ready to obey every command. I moved forward, my eyes never leaving his as I knelt between his legs.
The air buzzed with anticipation as my fingers trailed along his muscular inner thigh. His breath hitched as I dragged my nailslightly over his balls, then back up to grip his shaft. I guided his thick length toward my mouth, kissing the sensitive head softly.
