.„You’re very patient,“ Lara said quietly as she went back to workon Carson’s cuffs.„I’m no good at this.“„You’re sexy as hell,“ Carson said deeply, watching the finetrembling of Lara’s fingers.„Knowing that you’ve never undressedanother man, watching your face as you discover just a few of thethings you can do to me, seeing you shiver every time your tonguetouches my nipple – God, little fox, it’s so sweet and hot it’s a miracle I haven’t lost control.“ Carson saw her startled look and smiled.„No, I didn’t mean lose control as in pouncing on you.I meant lose control asin coming right here.Does that shock you?“Lara started to say yes, then realized that it wasn’t quite the truth.Surprise her – yes.He was so open with her, as though he wanted her to know at all times that he was vulnerable to her.And then sherealized that that was exactly what Carson was saying.He had givenhimself to her.That meant being naked in more ways than simply notwearing clothes.„No,“ Lara said softly, smiling as she bent over his cuff oncemore, „I’m not shocked.I’m…pleased.“Her smile almost undid every one of Carson’s good intentions, asdid the innocent pressure of her thighs on either side of his.So close, so very close, and so very far away from the blazing act of intimacy hewanted.The last snaps gave way.Lara pulled off one sleeve and then theother, dragging the shirt across Carson’s lap in her eagerness to get rid of it.She felt his hips jerk softly when her hand brushed across hisjeans.As she looked down, she saw that he was fully aroused and thatshe had inadvertently touched him.„I’m sorry,“ she said quickly.„I didn’t mean – “„Oh, God, little fox,“ he interrupted raggedly.„Just do it again andI’ll forgive you.“Lara looked at Carson’s face, wondering if he was joking.Hestretched his arms across the back of the couch again, underlining hisvulnerability.„Whatever you want,“ he said, his voice a gentle rasp.Lara stared into Carson’s amber eyes for a long moment.The onlysound in the room was his quickened breathing as he watched her inreturn.Almost imperceptibly her hand moved forward, hoveringabove his jeans.He held her eyes and smiled a slow, inviting smilethat made her heart turn over.She let her hand settle over him.She felt the barely controlled surge of his hips, heard the sudden, fierce hiss of his breath and almost lost her courage.Then the heavy-lidded pleasurerevealed by his golden eyes made heat and weakness shiver throughher.Gently she increased the pressure of her hand on his hot, hardflesh.„I can feel your heartbeat,“ Lara said, her eyes wide, her tonehusky with surprise.Carson felt an odd combination of tenderness and violent desire.Tenderness won.He let out a long breath and forced himself to relaxagainst the couch, opening himself to whatever caress she might wantto give him.As softly as a breath her fingertips traced his length.Against the sun-faded roughness of his jeans, her hand was slender,graceful and so utterly feminine that he had to look away or risk losing control.„What should I do?“ she asked softly.„Pet me, honey.“His voice was too gritty, too thick, but he couldn’t control that anymore than he could prevent the blood from beating heavily in the erectflesh beneath Lara’s caressing fingers.„Oh, God,“ he said, moving subtly against her hand.„I wish Icould make you feel as good as you’re making me feel.I wish – “The word ended in a hiss as Carson thrust almost helplesslyagainst Lara’s hand, increasing the pressure of her palm against hishungry body.Suddenly she wanted to be able to hold him, to run herhands over him without the barrier of clothes, to know him with anintimacy that she had never shared with any man.She wanted it sobadly that her hands were shaking.„Carson?“ asked Lara raggedly.The sound of his name was another caress, almost as hot and everybit as sweet as her hand stroking him, and her eyes watching him werelike blue fire.Without a word Carson shifted his hands from the backof the couch to the waistband of his jeans.The steel buttons gave wayin a fast, soft ripple of sound.Wordlessly Lara moved aside.Hepeeled off his clothes and kicked them under the coffee table.Watching her, he leaned against the cushions and forced himself to puthis arms along the back of the couch again, leaving himself utterlyopen to her eyes and her touch.It was the hardest thing Carson had ever done, to be naked whenLara was clothed, vulnerable when she was not, aching for her until hethought it would be easier to die than to go on without having her; andsuddenly he wondered what it would be like if she told him that hedidn’t measure up and then walked out without a backward look.Therealization of what it must have been like for her made ice twistthrough his guts.„Lara – “ he said hoarsely.But Carson could say no more for Lara’s hands were smoothingover his chest, his waist, the long, taut muscles of his abdomen and the rigid muscles of his thighs.She traced the shadow of dark, curling hair as it tapered to his navel and then flared out again into a thick thatch.There her hands hesitated until Carson felt as though he were beingstretched on a rack.„I can see your heartbeat now,“ Lara whispered.„It’s so fast, sohard.Oh, Carson, do you really want me so much?“Before Carson could answer, Lara cradled him between her palms.To feel her warm hands holding him was like being connected to a softcurrent of electricity.To see her delicate fingers caressing him waslike sliding into fire.Carson felt control slipping away beneath thesweet, wild friction of her skin over his naked desire.„Oh, baby, stop,“ Carson groaned.Stricken, Lara looked up into his eyes.„Am I hurting you?“ sheasked.Her voice, like her hands, trembled.Carson’s answer was a thick sound that could have been a laugh.Deliberately he moved his hips, sending his hot flesh sliding betweenher hands again and again, slowly, deeply.„Harder,“ he rasped and then shuddered uncontrollably when sheresponded by giving him what he had asked for and more, her hairtumbling freely down his naked torso and her mouth learning the hot,changing textures of hair and skin.„No, that doesn’t hurt,“ he said,groaning again.„It just feels too damn good to bear.A little more andI’m going to shock you.“„You won’t shock me,“ Lara said.The words were as soft and hotas her breath trembling against his aroused skin.Carson laughed roughly.„The hell I won’t.I’ve wanted you foryears, dreamed of you until I woke up sweating and tied in knots.ButI never dreamed anything this hot, this wild.God, you’re killing me sosweetly that I – “ He groaned and moved even as Lara’s hands did.„No more,“he said, wrapping his fingers over her wrists, forcing her to be still.„But I want to know,“ she whispered, smoothing her cheek and herhair over the hard muscles of his abdomen.„I want to know how it isfor you when I please you [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
