“So that whole ‘just friends’ idea crashed and burned pretty quick, huh?” His eyes blaze trails of fire as he sets me by the massive bed, hands urgently working my shirt buttons.

“Hey, it’s the thought that counts,” I offer breathlessly, pulse hammering as fabric strains and a button pops free, skittering across the floor.

“Shit, sorry—” He wrestles the remaining buttons in a frenzy, usual composure cracking.

Holy fucking hell. I can’t believe I’m actually seeing Mr. Cool and Confident in such a state of desperation.

A thrill shoots through me.I’mthe one driving him wild . . .

Our hands both scrambling, my shirt finally falls away. With rough fingers, he unhooks my sheer bra, freeing my aching breasts to the cool air.

His blistering gaze devours my tits, and he shudders. He actually physically shudders.

I don’t think I’ve ever felt so sexy in all my life and if he doesn’t put his cock inside me ASAP I’m going to pass out from arousal.

“You have no idea how bad I want you right now,” he groans, forehead creasing as if he’s in pain. “Couldn’t even get throughan innocent round of Scrabble without popping a damn tent in my shorts.” He releases a rough, almost embarrassed laugh.

I trail my nails down his biceps, pushing my hardened nipples against his chest. He’s still wearing a T-shirt and it’s not fair.

“So quit talking and do something about it,” I say in a shaky voice as his hard cock presses against my belly.

He lowers his head and presses his lips to my neck, kissing a tingly path so damn carefully down to my collarbone. I sense his restraint barely leashed, the effort to go slow difficult for him.

Strong hands wander my trembling stomach, inching closer to where I’m soaked and aching. My breasts are screaming for attention, but he’s taking his sweet time getting there, teasing the hell out of me.

I moan and arch into him, my nails scraping his scalp.

He continues his torturous journey south, until finally his full, sexy lips land on my rock-hard nips.

“Gonna take my time with you, angel.” His ragged drawl fans my heated flesh as he continues his relentless tease. “I’m trying so damn hard.”

My moans reach porn star–level. Clearly, all it takes is a little nipple play to turn me into a quivering mess.

My moans seem to shred Connor’s restraint. Suddenly he’s devouring me, grunting as he sucks greedily like he’s been unleashed after years of containment.

He breaks away only to yank off my jeans with impatient hands. At this point, I couldn’t care less about my unflattering baggy boyfriend jeans. I step out of them, attempting to be sexy but probably failing miserably.

His fingers find their way into my panties next, tugging them down my hips until they hit his plush carpet. I’m too aroused to even care if they’re on inside out or backward. All that matters is they’re gone.

Straightening, his ocean-blue eyes rake every inch of my naked body possessively. I swear it’s the most erotic moment of my life.

“Your turn now . . .” I say. “This isn’t fair.”

“All right.” A sinful grin tugs his sensuous mouth. He slowly strips off his shirt, revealing a rock-hard chest and perfectly sculpted abs that make my mouth water. His shorts hit the floor next, exposing powerful thick thighs dusted in dark hair. Then his boxers follow and he straightens to his full towering height, buck naked and breathtakingly magnificent.

My breath hitches. This man is all fucking man. And he knows it. His hard cock stands proudly against his stomach, practically begging for release.

I run my hands greedily over his broad shoulders, down his sculpted chest and abs, relishing the sensation of his hot skin beneath my fingertips. That tattoo of his is so damn sexy.

My hand wraps around his erection, causing it to throb in response. Just feeling him gets me wet.

“Lexi,” he groans, his eyes glazed with lust as I stroke him harder. “I won’t be able to hold back much longer if you keep teasing me like this.”

“Then fuck me already. I need you inside of me,” I demand.

“With pleasure.” He lifts and sets me on the expansive bed.

Gently, he parts my shaking thighs, eyes drinking in my exposed pussy.
