Butterflies in Honey (Growing Pains #3)(102)

Krista still didn’t understand, but she was touched. She nodded slowly and blinked away the tears starting in her eyes. Sean leaned in and kissed her tenderly. She let him push her back on the bed as his kiss got deeper and more passionate. She slid her hand under his shirt and felt his six pack as her nether region roared back to life.

Chapter Twenty-Eight

Suddenly Sean pulled back and looked down at her, his sea-green eyes dilated. “I never asked you—what was the deal with you on the ropes course?”

“What?” Krista’s voice was husky. She let her fingers trail down his smooth skin to his belt.

“The first one we did when you rubbed on me? I very nearly lost my head, you know.”

Krista laughed. She had forgotten about that. “What brought this up?”

“I’ve been meaning to ask you about it but we have either been at work or…indisposed. I don’t think anyone realized what we were doing, thank god! But holy cow Krista, I wasn’t expecting it, and then all of a sudden I couldn’t stop and you were rubbing…” Sean blew out a breath.

Krista realized she had really sent him over the edge in the middle of a team exercise in which his subordinates were in close quarters. She laughed. she couldn’t help it. It was ridiculous when she thought back on it, but it had hit the spot at the time. Literally.

“You got hard,” she said as she undid his belt.

“So every time I get hard you are going to come rub yourself against me?”

She slid down his zipper slowly. “Yes.”

Sean’s smile disappeared as Krista slid her hands along the smooth skin of his shaft. He gave a small intake of breath.

“Maybe not in public?” he said quietly with obvious strain in his voice.

“Maybe,” she breathed as she increased the speed of her rubbing.

Sean kissed her, tugging at her pants. When they were open enough, he reached in with his large hand. There wasn’t enough space for him to maneuver—her pants looked great because they were tight enough to show off her figure.

Sean changed gears, grabbing her arm and gently removing her hand. She scooted under his large body a little more and arched up so her br**sts were against his chest.

“I want to do this slowly, baby,” Sean said as he leaned down to kiss her softly. “I want to spend a lot of time on you.”

He got up, lit some candles, and turned off the lights. When he came back shadows played across his intense, love filled eyes.

He pulled her to a standing position and started to remove her clothes. Each area of skin that was exposed got a soft, gentle kiss. He barely touched her as her garments fell away. The result was a tantalizing play of hot and cold across her body.

As her panties fell, her last article of clothing, she was completely exposed. Sean stood back and looked her over, his eyes lingering on her br**sts, ni**les jutting out in anticipation. When his eyes lighted on her newly groomed groin area, Krista felt warm wetness and a searing bite of urgency.

“Spread your legs,” he whispered.

With eagerness she complied. Sean, still fully clothed, stepped closer and lightly flicked his tongue across her neck. His manly scent filled her senses, accentuating the heat from his body. It contrasted teasingly with the cold in the air.

Krista leaned her head back, allowing him more access to her throat, as she felt his light touch on her stomach. Her focus followed those fingers, got distracted by the wetness of his tongue, then back to his fingers.

He gave each nipple a tweak, sending a spark of heat through her core followed by body engulfing shivers. His fingers worked back down her body, softly touching her right side, and then her left. He skipped her middle and lightly touched the outside of her h*ps with both hands. He stepped in front of her then, tilting his head to allow his lips to be centimeters from hers.

“Spread your legs wider, love,” he murmured.

She felt vulnerable but complied. Her wetness was more exposed to the air now and she was quivering with the need to quench her sexual appetite. She felt a warm mouth encompass a chilly nipple and a moan escaped her lips. He suckled as his warm hand cupped the other breast. She had bumps all over her body from the temperature difference, as well anticipation.

He lowered himself slowly and expertly, his warm breath and playful tongue working down her body. His hands were missing from the equation and she wondered where they would turn up next. She dared not peek, though. Half of the pleasure was in the surprise. It heightened the anticipation to the same degree her need was rising.

His mouth left her navel. “Keep your eyes closed.”

Krista nervously smiled. Cold air wafted in as his heat was removed. Somewhere in the room was rustling and jingling, which must’ve meant he was shedding unwanted fabric. Before long his heat returned and she shivered anew. He hadn’t even touched her yet and she was moving her body as though he was already inside her.

Soft fingertips felt like butterfly wings up the inside of her thigh. Warm breath mingled with her wetness, but came no closer. Fingers tickled their way up. Krista widened her legs even more as they traveled to her apex. Torturous pleasure, this waiting. She clenched and unclenched her hands, waiting for Sean to make hard, fervent contact. After a couple more seconds of nothing, she looked down to see what the holdup was.

She met sparkling green eyes below her navel. His mouth curled up, then his tongue come out for a soft, wet, loving taste. It wasn’t nearly enough to quench her desire, but just enough to keep her on the hook. She closed her eyes again and moaned as Sean licked and sucked, still not fully engaged. Her body was quivering, her flesh was hot and cold, her forehead broke out with a sheen of sweat, and her h*ps were gyrating, wanting more purchase from that tongue and mouth.
