Entangled (The Accidental Billionaires, #2)(32)

“See me. Not him.”

I nodded slowly, the tension leaving my body. “I do.”

“Kiss me,” he requested. “Please.”

My heart skittered as I leaned closer, and I felt the heat of his breath on my lips.

He was asking, giving me control. And I wanted to sink into Aiden more than I wanted to be afraid.

I opened my mouth and let my lips touch his. Instinct took it from there.

He didn’t make any quick movements. He just kissed me back, our lips and mouths sliding against each other’s sensually.

Finally, I speared my hands into his wet hair and just held on as he took control.

His breathing was heavy as his mouth slid down the wet skin of my neck. “Jesus, Skye! I want to touch you, but I don’t want to do the wrong thing.”

My senses were full of Aiden now, and there was no room for anything or anyone else. “Touch me,” I said with a tiny moan. “Please.”

He reached between our bodies greedily, and I backed up to give him space.

I gasped when he cupped my breasts and teased the nipples with his thumbs. “Yes,” I hissed as I sat back on his legs, and he sat up.

My entire body ached with tension, but I wasn’t scared.

There wasn’t a single moment that I could doubt who was making my body come alive. Only Aiden had ever been able to work me up like this.

I arched my back as Aiden took a nipple between his lips and nipped. As his tongue stroked over the hard peak, white heat raged over my body.

I nearly exploded right then.

“I ache, Aiden. So bad,” I said as I shivered.

“I know how to make it go away,” he said persuasively.

“Do it.”

His hand slid down my body, and I drew in a sharp breath as his fingers stroked over my pussy.

“Yes. Yes, please,” I whined.

I needed Aiden to touch me, to make the pain of longing go away.

He probed and found my clit, and every touch made the pressure rise.

“Ride me, Skye,” he said roughly. “Take what you need.”

I’d never had a man satisfy me except him, and our couplings had been frantic. We’d never taken the time to really touch each other much, those few times we’d actually had sex.

Now he was offering me everything.

And I took it.

I pressed my hips hard against the big hand that was pleasuring me, grinding against him, ecstasy flowing over me from getting the sensation I really needed.

I began to ride him harder, and our eyes caught and held as I felt my orgasm building.

I couldn’t tear my gaze away from the ferocious look in his eyes.

He wanted me to come.

His stare demanded that I come.

And I became frenzied as I felt his need match mine. I ground against him harder, desperate to orgasm.

My climax hit me, and waves of pleasure washed over me so hard that I could barely breathe.

I fisted his hair and kissed him, my tongue twining with his as my orgasm finally subsided to a few ripples.

When I released his lips, he said in a raspy voice, “That’s how it should feel, baby.”

I sighed and collapsed against his shoulder, knowing this was one memory I could live over and over again without a tiny bit of fear.

“Thank you,” I said breathlessly.

“My pleasure,” he grunted as he scooped up my body and took us both out of the hot tub.

He dried me off, and he carried me to my bed completely naked.

Only when I was alone, after he put me into my bed, did I remember that he hadn’t really had his pleasure at all.





CHAPTER 14

SKYE



Jade and Eli’s wedding day turned out beautifully. Luckily, the weather had cooperated, since the whole thing was taking place on the beach in front of their adjacent homes.

Elegant white tents had been erected the night before, and the sand had been smoothed down to allow for the aisle and altar.

My daughter had tossed her rose petals with abandon, and every woman had cried over the amazingly romantic ceremony . . . except me, of course, since I never let anybody see me cry.

But just because I hadn’t given in to tears didn’t mean my heart wasn’t light as I watched my best friend hitch herself to the man of her dreams.

Jade was happy, and I was happy for her.

The only part that made me sad was the fact that, once Jade and Eli returned from their extended honeymoon in Australia, my best friend would be primarily living in San Diego. Jade was opening a research lab there, and all of Eli’s offices were in the city.

It wasn’t that San Diego was actually far away. I could make it by car on a good traffic day in about an hour. It just seemed like a distance because Jade wouldn’t be around that often to hang out with me in Citrus Beach.

“Having fun?” Aiden asked as he put a hand lightly on my shoulder from behind.

I turned to smile at him. God, he looked gorgeous in a tuxedo. And I was beginning to like the way that he always seemed to want to touch me whenever he saw me.

“It’s a lovely reception,” I said. “Where’s our daughter?”

I was waiting at the bar in the food tent to get a drink.

“The princess is currently talking her uncle Seth’s ear off,” he informed me with a grin.

Aiden flagged down a waiter, ordered us both something, and then turned around again to stare at me.
