Katherine moaned as she clung to Kong, her fingers digging into his heavy shoulders. This . She’d wanted this all day. She’d daydreamed about it, becoming embarrassingly flushed and aroused at work. But the reality was so much better than anything her imagination could conjure up.

Her belly clenched and a hot rush ran through her as liquid heat pooled down below.

His big hand skated down her back, pressing her closer before it drifted to the curve of her backside and squeezed. She would have wrapped her legs around him, but the narrow width of her skirt hindered her efforts.

Her bra suddenly felt too tight and her nipples were hard points just begging to be touched.

Her imagination flared with the thought of him taking one of them in his mouth while he squeezed her breasts with those strong hands of his.

Another moan escaped her and Kong answered it with a rumble that she could feel vibrating through his chest straight into hers.

Kong broke the kiss, moving from her mouth to her jawline and down the line of her throat.

She shivered with pleasure and tipped her head to give him better access.

They were both panting, their ragged breaths the only sound in the quiet apartment.

Katherine swallowed hard and opened her eyes though her eyelids felt too heavy.

Everything had a slightly hazy, almost dreamy quality to it.

If this was a dream, she never wanted to wake up.

She settled her mouth against his jaw and felt the slight scratch of the whisker grain on his skin. Nuzzling into him, she kissed her way to his ear and nipped the lobe. She was rewarded with another one of those sexy rumbles and a squeeze of her backside that pressed her even closer to him.

Katherine tasted his throat as her fingers stroked over the short length of his hair.

Her mouth met the line of cotton at the neck of his t-shirt and she almost growled at the barrier.

She wanted nothing between them. She wanted to see him in all his naked glory.

She wanted to touch those hard slabs of muscle and discover what they tasted like with her tongue.

“Put me down.” Her voice was almost unrecognizable, low, breathy, and heavily laced with arousal.

He released her slowly, letting her slide down his body so she could feel the thick bulge of his erection.

But never once did they stop touching each other.

With a gruff sound, he looked down at her through passion-glazed, heavy-lidded eyes, and the air caught in Katherine’s chest. That look.

She’d always thought the word smoldering in this context was a silly way to describe someone, but she was experiencing the full brunt of it right now and there was nothing silly about it. That look was hot as hell.

Kong wanted her. Knowing that did something to her.

Katherine had always been a somewhat passive lover, letting her partner take the lead for the most part, but tonight, with Kong looking at her like that, she grew bold.

She felt empowered. Pulling the pins from her hair, she let the heavy mass tumble down her back.

He let out an inarticulate sound as he stroked his hand over the length, gathering it up and then letting it fall again. “I love your hair.”

Katherine smiled. Her hand skated over the hard muscles of his abdomen and she felt a thrill go through her when she felt them flex and tighten under her seeking fingers. “I want to see you.”

His nostrils flared and he let out a low breathy sound. Reaching down to the waistband of his pants, he yanked the shirt out, dragged it up his body, and whipped it over his head.

Her mouth went dry as her eyes hungrily explored every curve, dip, and plain. She’d seen him shirtless before, that night he’d taken her to the pool, but this was different. Tonight, she knew she could touch all that gorgeous skin, which made all the difference.

Stepping closer, she leaned into him and kissed his sternum as her fingertips explored his obliques.

Kong’s groan was loud, filling the space as he gathered her into his arms. “What are you doing to me?” he uttered hoarsely.

Katherine smiled against his skin as her fingers trailed down to his belt buckle. Before she could get it undone, Kong told her, “I want to see you too.”

In the past, that first unveiling to a new lover’s eyes had always been nerve-racking for Katherine – she was no hardbody – but with Kong, she didn’t feel that trepidation. There was something about him, about the way he looked at her, that filled her with confidence.

Stepping back, her lips tipped with a teasing smile and she kicked off her pumps as her fingers traced up the front of her cardigan. Slowly, watching his face, she began to work each button free until she could peel the garment from her shoulders.

Kong licked his lips as he watched Katherine, his breathing growing labored as she revealed herself inch by torturous inch. It took teeth-grinding will not to reach for her and help her get naked that much faster.

He should probably be doing something, maybe taking his boots off to speed things along, but he didn’t want to miss even a second of this show. He didn’t even want to blink.

Her cardigan removed, she raised the hem of the sleeveless top she’d worn beneath it and a swath of soft, pale flesh was revealed to his hungry gaze.

He waited, catching sight of a cream-colored bra that cupped a pair of heavy breasts.

His breath lodged in his throat and he didn’t even realize he’d leaned closer until he almost toppled over.

Reaching back with a seductive little smile on her lips, she unclasped her bra and slowly dragged each strap down her arm before she tossed it away.

A rough sound escaped him and he almost went to his knees. “Beautiful.” She was perfect. His hands were practically shaking with the need to touch her and he fisted them hard at his side. Her body was hers to give, not his to take.

His voice was gruff and deeper than he’d ever heard it when he said, “I want to touch you.”

Katherine reached for his hand and he uncurled his stiff fingers so she could take it and lead it to one of her soft breasts. It filled his big hand, the nipple a hard point against his palm. Kong groaned, his eyes rolling closed as he gently squeezed.

He heard the hitch in her breathing and could smell the sweet perfume of her arousal.

The scent was so intoxicating he almost lost his head.

Opening his eyes, his free hand reached for her other breast, and the sight of his hands cupping her was nearly his undoing.

He massaged them both, squeezing and stroking by turns while Katherine’s hands explored his forearms and biceps before moving to his chest.

His erection became almost painful as it throbbed unmercifully. As if Katherine sensed its need to be freed, her fingers skimmed down his abs to his belt. He heard the soft metallic sound as it was released before her fingers began working on the fastening to his pants.

A brief moment of clarity hit him. They were still standing in his living room by the table. “Let’s go into the bedroom.”

Katherine nodded, her eyes hot with need as her teeth sunk into that plump, kissable bottom lip. Kong nearly groaned again. With a simple look, she could have him on his knees before her, begging with need. Stepping closer, he bent to kiss her, sealing his lips hungrily to hers.

Without breaking the kiss, he scooped her off her feet and cradled her in his arms as he brought her to his bedroom. Gratitude swamped him that everything smelled fresh since he’d recently cleaned and he’d made his bed that morning with newly laundered sheets.

Releasing her legs, he kept her pressed against him, loving the feel of her breasts against his chest and the way her nipples dragged across his skin as he set her on her feet.

Katherine’s fingers went back to the fastening of his pants and Kong finally broke the kiss as he took her hand. “Let me get my boots first.”

He hated releasing her, even for that brief time, but it had to be done.

There was no way in hell he was going to do this with his boots on.

This wasn’t some rushed quickie. They had all night to enjoy each other.

Lucky for him, he had a lot of practice dressing and undressing quickly.

Still, he was pretty sure he set a record for his best time tonight.

His boots shed, he pulled Katherine back into his arms, his mouth finding hers and this time, when she went for his pants, he let her finish.

His own hands searched for and found the zip at the back of her skirt and a moment later, it joined his pants and boxer briefs at their feet.

His hands stroked over her, exploring her lush curves and he reveled in the feel of her soft skin as he stripped away her final bit of clothes.

He was so focused on her that he nearly whimpered when Katherine broke the kiss and stepped back from him.

“I want to see you,” she reminded him.

Kong stood proud – and okay, he may have flexed a bit – as Katherine’s eyes moved over him until they landed on the stiff, jutting length of his erection. She swallowed hard as her eyes shot back up to his. “You’re built to proportion then.”

Normally, he would have preened like a damn peacock if a woman said that to him, but those wide eyes gave her away and he didn’t want her to fear him. “I would never hurt you, Katherine.”

She nodded, her eyes dropping back down and Kong stepped closer to pull her into his arms once more. “You’re in charge,” he told her. “We go as slow or as fast as you want. You say stop and we stop.”

He felt her nod against his chest and a moment later, he hissed out a breath as Katherine gripped his length in her hand and stroked him. His head tipped back and he ground his molars together hard to keep from losing control as she explored him from tip to base.

“I’m going to make you feel so good,” he vowed. But if he didn’t prepare her soon, he was going to lose it to her hand.

“Tell me to make love to you, Katherine.”

She looked up at him with heavy-lidded eyes, her cheeks flushed with arousal. “Make love to me, Kong.”

He kissed her, stroking his tongue past her kiss-swollen lips. He was down to the barest thread of control, but he held onto it like a lifeline. He was too big to be careless and he refused to accidentally hurt her with his passion. Katherine deserved to be worshipped.

Laying her out on his bed, he kissed his way down her throat to her sternum paying homage to those glorious breasts for several heated minutes before he went lower.

He listened as he went, focusing on the sounds of pleasure she was making.

Her ragged breathing, her little moans of need as he drifted down her belly.

Her legs parted for him and he took a moment just to look his fill and breathe in her scent. Beautiful. Utter perfection.

Her hips lifted off the mattress, reminding him of his purpose and Kong licked his lips.

She gasped hard as his mouth found her swollen, needy flesh, and Kong settled in for a feast. She tasted incredible.

He could do this for hours, days. As his tongue stroked her closer and closer to orgasm, his fingers gently explored her, preparing her for what was to come.

First one finger and then another, as the sounds she was making urged him on.

“Kong!”

Yes. There it was. He could feel her tightening around his fingers as her hands gripped his head with surprising strength. He stayed with her through every pulse of her orgasm, his eyes latched onto her hungrily as she arched off the bed in an erotic display that nearly undid him.

Katherine’s fingers stroked his hair. “I want you inside of me.”

Kong groaned. He’d planned to make her come at least two more times this way but he couldn’t deny her, especially when she was offering him something he wanted so badly it hurt.

Moving over her, careful to keep his full weight off of her, he stroked her hair back from her face as Katherine reached for him, pulling him down for a kiss.

Their mouths locked, tongues dancing as he rounded his back until his hips settled between her sweet thighs.

His erection nestled against her entrance.

She was so wet he groaned into her mouth.

Her hips rose, nudging at him in encouragement and he sank slowly into her, easing his way inch by excruciating inch until he was fully seated.

Kong broke the kiss with a gasp of pleasure. He screwed his eyes tightly closed and locked his molars. There was no way he was going to last. She was so hot and tight that if he moved right now it would be all over for him. Dropping his head, he gruffly panted, “Just need… a minute.”

No way would he come without her.

Katherine kneaded his shoulders like a happy cat and her hips wiggled beneath him. Biting out a low curse, Kong licked his thumb and wedged his hand between them to stroke that swollen bundle of nerves that, at this moment, was his best damn friend in the whole wide world.

Come on, friend, don’t fail me now…

Katherine’s breathing hitched, her mouth open in a silent moan as her eyes rolled closed. She licked her lips, panting as her body moved under him, working him. Kong retreated an inch and drove back in, rocking against her as her fingers dug into his skin. Pure pleasure was written on her face.

He felt her inner muscles tighten around him, heard the sweet sound of his name on her lips, repeated over and over again, and as he felt her orgasm rock through her, Kong permitted himself to let go. One final thrust was all it took, and with a shout, he dove over the edge with her.
