Redwood Bend (Virgin River #18)(34)

Screw it, she thought. She might have sent him off but she knew where that little Riordan cabin was and could still have her unforgettable couple of hours. After all, the boys were tucked in at Uncle Conner’s house and Leslie, so optimistic, would never let them come home before morning.

She grabbed her purse and shot out the door.

And there he was, sitting on the motorcycle.

She skidded to a stop on the porch. “Ah…before you leave…”

“Yeah?” he said, sitting up straighter.

“I’ve been thinking…about a couple of hours…”

“Yeah?”

She shook her head. “Don’t go yet, Dylan.”

His leg came over the bike and he vaulted off, eating up the space between them in three long strides, leaping up the porch steps and pulling her into his arms, covering her mouth in a searing kiss that demanded every emotion she had. His hands were all over her, running up and down her back and pulling her against him, up her sides and covering her br**sts, tangled in her hair, pulling her face onto his. He was murmuring her name and she was clutching him close so he wouldn’t fly away.

Dylan walked her backward into the cabin and kicked the door closed when they were inside, but they didn’t get far. Standing there, just inside the door, he pulled her shirt over her head, pulled his over his head, and he began kissing her br**sts through the lace of her skimpy bra. Before she could see what happened, that undergarment was gone and he was attending to her erect ni**les—a lick, a kiss, a suck. It brought the deepest of sounds from her, her fingers in his hair.

He began kissing his way down her belly while his fingers deftly worked the button on her jeans and kissed his way below her waist just as he slid them over her h*ps and down, down, down. With the jeans went the tiniest thong. He fell to one knee before her and pulled off her right shoe, then the right leg of her jeans, and his lips were teasing her lower belly, upper thigh, his fingers moving deeper. With his hands on her hips, he drew her toward him. As she cried out, he lifted that bare leg and pulled it over his shoulder and all of a sudden, he had his mouth on her softest parts. “Dylan!” she cried out, knotting her hands in his hair. He devoured her hungrily, like a starving man, licking the deepest part of her. A minute inside the door and she was exploding!

“God,” he cried, going in for more. “Sweet heaven…”

Her knees gave out with pleasure so electrifying she could no longer stand, but he caught her and gently lowered her to the floor. His fingers replaced his mouth and he found her lips with his. “You are the best thing I’ve ever…” He kissed her deeply. “Katie, I’m not sure I’ll be able to get enough....” But while he murmured against her lips, he freed her from the left shoe and the rest of her jeans. His belt came open and disappeared and she reached down to open his jeans.

And she had him in her hand. He groaned in beautiful agony. He instinctively moved toward her, probing gently, wanting all of her. He was slipping inside and he wasn’t going to last long. He was so right, the sensation of being inside her was the most intoxicating thing he’d ever felt. He went into a trance at once.

“Please,” she whispered. “Dylan. Please find that condom so we can…”

“Condom,” he said. “On it.” And he sat back just long enough to get rid of the rest of his clothing and get that protection from his back pocket.

And then he went still for a second. He lowered himself over her gently, touching her lips. “I know this is going too fast, baby, but we’ll take our time a little later. I know I sound like a madman, but I need to be inside you.”

She nodded, her eyes glassy and wide. “I need that, too.”

“I’ll go easy…”

“Don’t go easy…”

He gave it his best effort, moving into her slowly, but she grabbed his butt and pulled him into her and he lost his mind. His h*ps began to move, hers moved in concert and they were slamming against each other in a magnificent rhythm that took about ten strokes to make her freeze and hold him, cry out his name and squeeze down on him with all her internal muscles.

“Holy…” He couldn’t speak any further. All that escaped him was a powerful groan as he held himself for a moment, then pumped his h*ps and joined her. He pinched his eyes closed and held her hips. As the pleasure slowly let him breathe again, he kissed her everywhere—her eyelids, her lips, her cheeks, her neck, her br**sts…

And he held her, stroking her hair, her neck, touching her beautiful face. “Are you okay, honey?” he whispered.

“Hmm,” she said, giving a little nod, her eyes closed. “Possible rug burns....”

“My God, Katie…I wanted you so bad, I didn’t even get you to the couch. I think I went insane.”

She giggled. “When a girl says yes to you, she better stand back, huh?”

“Come on, sweetheart, let me get you to bed…”

“Just a minute, Dylan,” she whispered. “I’m trying to grow the bones back in my legs… Can’t we be still for just a minute more?”

“Yes,” he said, placing gentle kisses everywhere he could reach without separating them. “My God, I’m having aftershocks.”

“I’m weak,” she said softly. “Pleased, but totally limp…”
