Page 10 of Wolves’ Midlife Reunion (Shifter Nation: Enchanted Over Forty #3)
“Maybe, like you said, we were destined to go do other things for a while, to have other life experiences separate from each other. But then, when I walked up to that display case and you were there, it was like fate had drawn us back together. We knew what we felt for each other when we were younger, but maybe we just weren’t ready for it yet. ”
Her breath was shallow, her lips slightly parted. “And now?”
“Now, I don’t want to let myself miss an opportunity because of stupid things like that.
I feel just as drawn to you now. More, actually.
” Dex could feel every part of his body leaning toward her, desiring her, craving her.
How had he been strong enough in those earlier years to ever resist such a pull?
No, he realized. He hadn’t been strong at all.
He’d been an idiot. Now, as he looked into her eyes, he finally saw the destiny that’d been waiting for him this whole time.
“Dex?” Her voice trembled.
“Yes?”
“Kiss me.”
His hand slipped up her arm, past the delicate rhinestone bracelet on her wrist, and he pulled her toward him as he leaned in. His lips met hers, and instantly his wolf cried out in victory. Her lips were soft, pliable, and sweet, a hint of the honey from her tea still lingering.
Her hand had ended up on his knee, and her fingertips pressed into him as she deepened the kiss. The first touch was cautious, but then the connection between them grew. She began to kiss him with more urgency, more need. A tiny moan escaped her lips as she parted them.
That moan echoed deep within him, and his hands moved to her waist. He traced her luscious curves through the satin of her dress, his tongue slipping into the warm recesses of her mouth.
Tina tipped her head back, bringing him further inside as their tongues twined together. She explored him eagerly, tasting him, taking him in, and then taking over once again.
Dex’s head spun as they dove into this new aspect of their fate.
His hands roved up her back until he found the top of her zipper.
He slid it slowly down her back, letting his other hand follow behind in the zipper’s wake so that he could feel her skin inch by inch as it was revealed.
His fingers slid down over the clasp of her strapless bra and the gentle ridges of her spine until the zipper stopped just below the waist of her panties.
He loved the velvet of her tongue, but he longed to take in every inch of her. Dex’s kisses roved along her jawline to her earlobe, where his tongue played with the rhinestone earring that matched her bracelet. Her perfume was warm and spicy, a musk that smelled of desire.
He dropped kisses down the side of her neck and shoulder, where he pushed aside her dress strap, grazing the bare skin beneath it.
With the zipper and strap undone, the top of her dress slipped down to reveal the black lace of her bra.
She already drove him wild, but that peek was enough to make him crazy.
Dex pushed away the other strap and peeled away the rest of the sapphire blue satin, barely controlling himself enough to keep from tearing the delicate fabric.
Tina’s hands were busy, too. She pulled his tie loose and flicked open his shirt buttons one by one.
Her hands spread across his chest, her touch sending lightning bolts of electricity through his skin.
Her fingers moved up to his shoulders and then down his arms, pushing away the shirt and casting it aside with abandon before she reached for his belt buckle.
Though he hated to put any distance between them, Dex leaned back to take all of her in.
His eyes traced up from her bare feet, her shoes discarded on the floor nearby.
Her legs were long and supple, soft but strong, and her generous thighs called to him.
Her black cotton panties were modest, but as he ran his hands up her thighs, he longed to discover what was beneath them.
The curve of her hips was enticing, especially where her body nipped in slightly at the base of her ribs.
Then there were the tempting globes of her breasts, just barely contained by that black lace.
Most tempting of all was the look on her face, her eyes soft, her lips slightly parted. She looked just as hungry as his wolf felt.
“What is it?” she asked.
How could he even begin to describe her beauty? “It’s everything.”
He released her breasts with a snap of his fingers on the bra’s clasp.
Dex took each of them in his hands, luxuriating in their weight.
He brushed his thumbs over her nipples, pleased by the way they hardened at his touch.
Dex pulled one into his mouth, licking and sucking, pressing himself against her so that he could feel the touch of their bodies.
Tina tossed her head back as Dex cherished her breasts. Her hands moved along his arms and shoulders and drifted down his back. She wrapped her bare legs around him as his hardness slid against her.
He slipped his fingers inside the waistband of her panties and stripped them down her legs as he slid himself along the length of her body.
Dex kissed the insides of her trembling thighs and then the delicate folds between them.
He pushed his arms up under her legs and around her hips, keeping her open to him as his tongue traveled further, finding the perfect spot that made her shiver.
Tina writhed at his touch, small moans building as he held her steady, relishing this most sacred part of her body and the way he could make her react.
Her thighs tensed. Her hands flung out, and she dug her fingers deep into the cushions.
Her hips began to rock, and she took her pleasure as he gave it to her.
She cried out, pulsing against his tongue.
Lifting himself from his knees, Dex plunged inside her. She was hot and slick, and the last ripples of pleasure still surged inside her. He buried himself deep within, losing himself completely in his mate. He rocked against her until he felt her coming to life around him.
The second orgasm took her hard, her body shaking and convulsing, her walls pulling him in further as her cries of ecstasy filled the air.
Dex felt his entire being coalesce at the center of his body and then burst, a cascading explosion that consumed him.
