Page 128 of No Such Thing as Serendipity

Robyn stepped back and let her eyes travel the length of my body. “Damn. I mean...wow.”

Happy that she was as tongue tied as I’d been, I smiled. “Now what?”

Robyn held up a finger. “Give me a second. I want to take it all in.”

I brought my hand to my chin and narrowed my eyes as I looked at her. “Yeah, I’m enjoying my view, too.”

After a few beats, she held out her hand. I took it without a word, and she led me to her bed. An ultra-soft burgundy blanket covered the bed.

“Under or on top?” Robyn asked.

It took me a second to understand she wasn’t asking me if I was a top or bottom. “If you don’t mind, I’d like to stay on top. I want to see all of you.”

She smirked. “Good answer.”

I motioned for her to go first. Never letting go of my hand, she sat and pulled her legs onto the bed. I couldn’t help myself, so I ran my other hand down her smooth thigh to her knee and then back up again. I stopped at the hem of her outfit, even though I wanted to move my hand higher.

“Get up here,” she said.

I rolled onto the bed and pulled her against me. Now with most of my clothing removed, our skin touched, sending pulses through my body. She was so soft and warm. And smelled so damned good. A heady mixture of campfire, outdoors, and a slight hint of sandalwood.

Our lips met. As we kissed, I ran my hand down her thigh and caressed her hip, while she ran her fingers along the soft side of my arm. Her feathery touch teased all my nerve endings.

I moved my lips along her jawline, as I’d done earlier in the woods, but this time, I took a detour, giving her collarbone attention before moving to her exposed neck. As I kissed her neck, she squirmed and moaned, pulling me tighter against her.

“Sensitive neck,” I said, letting my hot breath hit the spot I’d been kissing.

“Uh-huh.” Her desire-filled voice only made me hotter.

I spent several more minutes exploring her neck, noting where the sensitive areas were, so I could return to them.

When I pulled away and met Robyn’s gaze, her eyes were glassy. “I want to touch every part of you. It might take a while.”

Robyn let out a slight whimper. “Damn, Blake. I can’t remember wanting someone as much as I want you right now. But I want to relish this as long as I can, too.” She took a deep breath. “I’ve never had tantric sex before.”

“I’ve heard of it, but I couldn’t tell you what it is.”

Robyn ran her fingers across my stomach, just above my waistband. The sensation made it hard for me to concentrate on her words. “It’s slow and sensual. But I’m not feeling a textbook explanation right now, if that’s okay with you.”

I grinned. “Yeah, I think we can save that for later. I need to explore more.” I took her hand in mine and brought her fingers to my lips. She lay back as I kissed each finger before I moved to her palm. Her breath caught when I flicked my tongue around the center.

For what seemed like hours, we explored every inch of each other’s bodies, except for the parts covered by our clothes. All the nerve endings in my body tingled, especially between my legs.

“Are you as turned on as I am?” I asked.

“More.”

“I’m not sure that’s possible.” We were lying next to each other, so I ran my fingers through her hair. “Are you ready?”

“Uh-huh.”

“I want to taste you, but I want to stay up here next to you, too.”

“Stay.” Her voice was low and husky.

I let my hand trail down her stomach and pushed her panties down. She turned and helped me remove them. As I moved my hand lower, she closed her eyes.

“No,” I said. “I want to watch you.”
