He finished the chocolate hazelnut torte left over from the night before and flipped through the television channels. Not long after they returned from their late afternoon lunch, Mia’s cell had rung and she’d disappeared into her room to discuss something Avery insisted couldn’t wait until later. Bored and a little hungry, he’d grabbed the few things left over from their picnic dinner the night before and started channeling surfing. When he came across the first Lord of the Rings movie, he tossed the remote control off to the side and put his feet up. The movie was a couple of hours long; that should be enough time for Mia and Avery to talk. At least he hoped so.
“I told Avery we’re busy tonight,” Mia appeared in the room wrapped in a white bath towel.
Sean unwrapped the rest of the cookie Mia hadn’t finished the night before and broke off a piece, as the main character on the screen woke up after being helped by the elves. “It took that long to tell her that?”
Mia walked farther into the room but stopped a few feet from where he sat. “No. My agent contacted her this afternoon when she couldn’t reach me. Avery wanted to fill me in on the details of a possible new project. Then she invited us out, but like I said I turned her down.” Lifting one hand, she slipped her fingers under the knot in her towel. Once undone, the towel slipped down her body and landed in a pool at her feet. “After all that walking today, I thought I’d soak in the hot tub.” She turned on her heel rewarding him with an unobstructed view of her perfect butt. She took a step away, then looked back over her shoulder. “You’re more than welcome to join me,” she said, her voice low and purposefully seductive.
Heat flared through him, overwhelming every one of his senses, and he stood, pulling his shirt out of his jeans as he followed her into the bathroom. With slow deliberate movements, she turned on the hot tub jets and the water began to bubble and swirl much like the blood pounding through his body. He paused in his undressing, transfixed as she stepped into the frothy water and slowly lowered herself. When her breasts disappeared under the water, he snapped out of whatever trance he’d been in. In one movement he rid himself of his jeans and underwear.
“The water is perfect. All that is missing is you,” she said, her voice silky and more sensual then he’d ever heard it.
Sean stepped into the water and pulled her onto his lap as he sat. “Better?” Before she could answer he set his lips against hers, intent on giving her a kiss she’d not soon forget.
“It’s getting there,” she teased when she pulled back for air.
So that was how she wanted to play it. “How about now?” He slipped a hand under her breast and lifted it out of the water then took her nipple in his mouth. Mia gasped and he smiled before sucking again. Her fingernails dug into his shoulders, and he pulled back letting her breast dip back into the water. “Does this help?” He brought the other one to his mouth and circled the nipple with his tongue. In response her nails dug into his shoulders even more as she moaned.
Thanks to the feel of her wet slick body against his and her responses to his touch, his body had almost reached its breaking point. Digging down deep inside himeself, he wrestled with the last of his self-control. He wanted to make this moment unforgettable for her. Give her a memory that she’d carry back home with her. Switching his mouth back to her lips, he let his hand travel down her ribcage and across her taut stomach before dipping lower. He let one finger slip inside.
“Stop teasing,” she said, her voice a sensual order as she squirmed on his lap.
He let his other hand tease her nipple. “I will, but not until I’m ready.” He didn’t give her a chance to argue. Instead he kissed her again, his tongue slipping inside and mimicking the same movements his finger made inside her.
Only when he sensed her climax did he shift her position on his lap and slide inside. Damn. Every one of his senses went on overload and his brain slowly tuned out as pleasure took over. Perfect. The simple word flashed in his head before he lost himself completely to the woman in his arms.
