When she pressed her mouth a couple of inches above his straining cock, he moaned her name, not recognizing the deep reverberation that escaped his throat.She surged to her feet and cupped his neck, bringing their mouths closer.He leaned down to meet her swollen, soft lips against his.

His cock throbbed as she slid her tongue against his.The kiss deepened and he wanted to press his body to hers to relieve some of the throbbing pleasure he received whenever she touched him, but she was in control and he didn’t want to take that away from her.

They broke the kiss, both taking deep breaths, and he watched as Jade bit her lower lip and glanced up, meeting his gaze.

“Could you lay down?”

He nodded and started to move, but she gently stopped him with her hand on his forearm.

“Could I undress you first and then explore?”

Unable to find his voice, he nodded and faced her again.She made quick work of his pants, but when she slid them off, he found himself still clothed in his boxer briefs.With slow movements, she lifted his arm and traced the veins on his forearm before dropping his arm at his side and, using just her fingertips, traced the cut from his abs down to the waistband of the only remaining item of clothing he had on.

Her touch elicited a shiver of anticipation of what was to come.

“You are the sexiest man I’ve ever seen.”

Before he could respond, her thumbs hooked the waistband of his underwear and slowly lowered them over his hips and down his legs.The pounding pulse of need almost had him reaching for her, but he clenched his hands at his side, knowing this was her time to explore and he could get through it.

Hopefully.

This sweet, delicious torture was almost too much for him and he opened his mouth to beg—for what exactly, he had no idea—but it came out as a choking gasp when her small hand palmed his naked cock for the first time.

The moment she stood up to see his reaction, he slid his hands through her hair and brought her closer before he brushed a kiss against her lips.Even that minuscule touch stripped away a little more of his control.

The chaste kiss was as powerful as anything he and Jade shared.“Touch me, mark me, make me yours.”

“You don’t know what you’re fully asking, but I will touch you and bring you pleasure.I want to make you happy.”

“Fuck, baby.You make me happy.”

Jade smiled at him and stepped back, raking her gaze on his now naked body.He didn’t know what he expected, but when Jade’s eyes grew bigger and she clutched her hands into fists and then tucked them under her arms, he managed to regain some control.She looked nervous about touching him, but he wanted nothing more.

Glancing over his shoulder, he found the sleeping bags a few feet from where he stood.He stepped backward until he felt the fabric and, without taking his eyes off Jade, he lowered himself down onto the makeshift bed and laid back.

He sucked in a breath to steady himself and before he could blink, he spotted Jade kneeling between his legs.Her skin was hot when she ran her palms up the top of his feet to his shins.Since this was all about Jade, Noah held his hands near his sides.

“How do you like to be touched?”

Noah opened his mouth to speak, but the words stuck in his throat.This wasn’t a typical woman.She was Jade and his destined mate, and her touch set him alight.“However you want to touch me.My body is already humming from being able to kiss you.I have a feeling that any touch from you will bring me pleasure.But this is about you and what you’re comfortable with.I would say do what comes naturally.”

Jade exhaled shakily and gave him a short nod.She continued with her touch of his legs, brushing her delicate fingers over his inner thighs, drawing a breath from Noah.But when her mouth followed the trail of her hands, his breathing pushed out a series of low, deep moans.

Her tongue darted out and she tasted his skin and the sensation shot jolt straight to his cock, which pulsed visibly against his stomach.She started to crawl up his body but paused.He wondered if she wanted to stop, if they were going too fast.But instead, he almost choked on his tongue when she straighten up, still on her knees, and whipped her shirt up and over her head, leaving her beautiful pale skin with a smattering of freckles in full view.

Noah stopped breathing.She was the most exquisite creature he’d ever seen before.He must have mumbled it aloud because a blush stained Jade’s cheeks.

“It’s true.You are.”

With movements that looked blurred to Noah’s human eyes, Jade stripped off the rest of her clothing, throwing them into the same pile she created with Noah’s clothing.His mouth watered at the thought of tasting each inch of her body, but all thoughts scattered when she moved up his body to kiss him.

“Touch me,” she begged against his lips.

He splayed his hands over her back and pressed her against his body for the first time, savoring her heat surrounding him.His hand caressed her back and down the curves of her ass, loving the gasp as his hands cupped her, pressing her against his cock for just a moment.Her breasts pressed against his chest and the feel of the hard tips against his skin almost felt surreal.Noah had never been as turned on in his life.

Noah captured her lips and savored her taste.Each kiss was exploratory, but he noticed that she told him with each kiss what exactly she liked.When the sensations became too intense, she broke the kiss and buried her face against his neck.Each breath against his heated, slicked skin sent shafts of pleasure throughout and he held her tighter.

“I’m going to taste you, all over.Is that okay?”
