Collide (Collide, #1)(89)



“Fuck it,” he said, digging back into his pocket for his keys.

Swinging the door open, he all but forgot about his shoes, but it didn’t matter—because he was met by the most beautiful green eyes staring back at him. They didn’t say hello. Words were unnecessary. They both knew right then that they would speak volumes through their actions before dawn broke. Spontaneous combustion ignited within both their bodies as they lunged at the same time—colliding—their mouths sliding over one another. Somewhere in between, the door snapped closed, and Gavin’s shirt was ripped off.

Cradling the back of her head, Gavin’s kiss exploded like tracer bullets against Emily’s lips. Before she knew it, he had her lifted up off the ground and pressed against the wall. Placing her arms above her head, he shackled her wrists in his hand as she wrapped her legs around his waist. With the hard, rigid set of his body pushing against hers during their heated kiss, Gavin’s free hand fell to her thigh, sliding her dress up over her waist. The air hissed with the sound of her panties being torn from her body. In anticipation, her wet slick center ground hard against the refined material of his pants. As a deep yearning desire began to blaze through Emily, she pulled her wrists from his hold and feverishly started unbuckling his belt.

“I couldn’t get out of the taxi, Gavin. God, I couldn’t get out,” she moaned against his mouth.

The feeling of want, the feeling of need, and the feeling that they belonged together was something she couldn’t ignore anymore. She didn’t want to ignore it anymore. He was all she craved and desired, and the only thing she feared was that she wouldn’t be able to get enough of him.

“I was coming to get you,” he growled, sliding his tongue across her jaw. “I wasn’t letting you go this time.”

Reaching down, Emily slipped her hand below his boxer briefs, skimming over his thick, hard length. She started stroking him, her senses reveling in the feel of his pearly fluid against her thumb circling his tip. A deep ragged groan tore from Gavin’s throat as she stroked him up again, releasing his shaft from its confinements. His lips moved from her mouth to her ear and down her throat, biting and sucking, as she pumped her hand around him.

“I need to feel you inside of me right now, Gavin, please.”

“I have to get a condom,” he groaned against her mouth.

“I’m on the pill,” she breathed out, sweat glistening on her neck.

That’s all he needed to hear before he hoisted her up higher—only to pull her down onto him. Pushing up inside her hot, wet warmth, Emily’s head snapped back against the wall, unable to believe how incredible he felt. She let out a forceful breath as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Arching her back, he thrust inside her again, completely burying himself to the hilt. Tongue sweeping in and out, Gavin groaned when she tightened her legs around his waist, her hands knotting in his hair. Although her back chafed against the wall with each thrust, the pleasurable burning sensation of his girth overrode any pain she should’ve felt.

Gavin pulled back, and they gazed into each other’s eyes, drinking up the emotions in the air. Their chests were rising and falling together with every shallow breath they took. As ripples of pleasure shook through Emily’s body, Gavin slammed his mouth over hers, continuing his exploration of her tongue as he carried her into his bedroom.

A small groan of agony escaped her lips when he placed her on her feet. Emily stood before him, her body trembling from head to toe as she tried to catch her breath.

Without hesitation, he rid himself of his boxer briefs and socks, his predatory gaze hot and focused on her quivering lips.

Emily’s eyes traveled from his beautiful face and moved lower to take in the delicious sight of his taut abdomen, the V leading her straight to the long-awaited answer of where his tattoo ended. It was magnificently beautiful. Straight from his left rib cage, it snaked its way down, curving over his hip before dipping lower still. As Emily’s eyes followed its progression, she admired the elaborate black ink circling down around his thigh, the dragon’s tail wrapping itself around and around. She imagined her fingers or even her tongue pursuing the same path tonight.

“There’s not a man on Earth who doesn’t wish he was me right now,” he said, cupping her face while brushing his thumb over her lips. Like a wild animal stalking its prey, he slowly moved around her, ghosting his lips over her shoulder and then sliding his tongue up her neck. “Your mind and your body will never forget the things I’m going to do to you tonight. Every…single…inch of your body is going to feel me.”

Forget about his teasing touch, his words alone had Emily feeling as though she was about to combust. “Oh my God,” she breathed out.

“Yes,” Gavin said with a cocky smile on his face.

Slowly, he continued to circle and tantalize Emily’s body with soft kisses, ultimately stopping behind her. With his breath heated and warm, he kissed her ear. Lashes fluttering closed, she felt pleasure streak through her body with each soft brush of his lips. Gavin slowly unzipped her velvet dress, watching it slip to the ground and pool around her heels.

“Step out,” he whispered into her neck, unclipping the diamond pins holding up her hair.

Her hair cascaded over her shoulders and tumbled over her breasts. Trying to breathe, she stepped away from her dress as a heightened level of sexual desire began to slick over her skin. Still standing behind her, with one hand, Gavin’s fingers unhooked her strapless bra while the other floated around to the front of her stomach. Burying his face in the curve of her neck, Gavin gently gripped the back of her thigh and drew her leg up onto the bed. A moan escaped Emily’s lips as he slipped his fingers deep inside her. Fiery pleasure shot through every nerve ending in her body. Lifting her arms up behind her, she dug her fingers into his hair, clawing and grasping as tight as she could. Cupping her chin, Gavin angled her face to the side just enough to crush his mouth over hers, groaning while his tongue flicked in and out. As one hand worked deeper inside her wetness, the other smoothed along the globe of her breast, rolling her hardened nipple between his fingers. A hot shiver rippled in Emily’s stomach, tingling its way through her entire system. Panting faster, Emily pulled his dampened fingers up to her mouth, sucking and swirling her tongue along them. Before she took another breath, Gavin spun her around and slammed his lips against hers.
