As soon as I got close enough, she reached out and grabbed the front of my shirt, pulling me down into a fierce kiss.
I was caught off guard for a split second, but then I let her have it, my arms wrapping around her waist as I returned the kiss with equal heat. Jesus, she was kissing me like her life depended on it, pouring all of her pent-up emotions into it.
When we finally came up for air, we were both breathing heavily. Scarlett’s cheeks were flushed, and her lips were swollen from our intense lip-lock.
“Rhett...” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion.
The coffee maker let out a final gurgle, signaling it was ready. But at that moment, the only thing that mattered was Scarlett and the way she was looking at me. Everything else faded into the background as I pulled her against me and lowered my mouth to hers again.
Scarlett moaned softly, her fingers threading through my hair as she pulled me closer. I could feel the desire radiating off her in waves, and it only served to fuel my own need for her.
Breaking away from her lips, I trailed kisses down her neck, nipping and sucking at the sensitive skin there. Scarlett tilted her head back, giving me better access, her hands clutching at my shoulders.
“Rhett, please...” she whispered, her voice hoarse with need.
“I’m here,” I murmured against her skin, my lips brushing softly against the pulse point in her neck.
Her fingers tightened in my hair, guiding my mouth back to hers. Our tongues danced together, the kiss growing more and more frantic as our desire built. Sliding her hands down my chest, she tore at the buttons of my shirt, pushing it off my shoulders.
Moments later, her shirt joined mine on the floor. I leaned back, taking a moment to admire the sight of her standing there in just her bra and jeans.
Her skin was flushed, her eyes dark with desire. She looked like she wanted to devour me, and I was more than willing to let her.
I backed her up against the counter, my hands moving to the button of her jeans. She lifted her hips to help me slide them down her legs, and then she was stepping out of them, kicking them aside.
“You’re so fucking beautiful,” I breathed, my eyes roaming over her body.
Reaching back, she unclasped her bra and dropped it on top of the growing pile of our clothes. “Rhett, I need you to fuck me,” she said, her voice shaking.
Okay, so I guess we weren’t waiting. Stripping off the last of our clothes, I pulled her against me again, so that we were skin to skin. Her breathing was already ragged. “Now, for Christ’s sake.”
I cupped her ass, lifting her up onto the counter, moaning against her lips when she wrapped her legs around me. I could taste the desperation in her kiss, and it only served to fuel my own desire.
Part of me wanted to take my time with her, worship her body the way she deserved. But Scarlett wasn’t in the mood for slow and sensual. She needed hard and fast, so that was exactly what she was going to get.
I lined myself and then I was sinking into her, groaning at the tight heat that surrounded me. Scarlett moaned, her nails digging into my shoulders as she arched her back, taking me even deeper.
I began to move, my thrusts hard and deep. Scarlett met each one with an eager grind of her hips, her breath coming in shortgasps. I leaned down to capture her mouth in another kiss, my hands gripping her thighs as I pounded into her.
“Fuck, you feel so good,” I growled against her lips.
She just moaned in response, her head thrown back, her breasts heaving with each of my thrusts. I reached between us to rub her clit, my fingers slick with her arousal.
“Let go,” I whispered, my mouth latching onto her neck as I sucked and bit at the sensitive skin there.
Scarlett cried out, her body tensing as she climaxed around me. I felt her clenching tightly around my cock, but I wasn’t ready to finish yet.
I pulled out of her, earning a whimper of protest from Scarlett. But then I pulled her down off the bench and spun her around, bending her over the counter and entering her from behind.
I grabbed her hips, pulling her back onto me as I thrust forward, burying myself balls-deep in her wet heat. Jesus, the way she cried out again, her fingers curling around the edge of the counter as I pounded into her, almost undid me.
I reached around to rub her clit again, my other hand splaying across her stomach as I claimed her body. Scarlett’s breath came in short, sharp gasps, her head hanging down as she submitted to my possession.
“That’s it.” My teeth grazed her shoulder as I bit down gently. “Take it all.”
Scarlett cried out again, her body shaking as another orgasm ripped through her. I felt her clenching around me and this time, I let myself go with her, my own release crashing over me as I filled her.
We stood there for a moment, catching our breath, our bodies still joined. Then I carefully pulled out and turned her around to face me. Before I could kiss her, she put her hands flat on my chest and pushed me away.
