Dane

When they'd walked through the door from the secret stairs, it had suddenly struck Dane that walking her straight to his bedroom might look a little…forward. So he'd forced himself not to touch her, to offer her the chance to go into another room. He wouldn't let himself kiss her if she wanted to talk. But he hadn't even gotten the words out before she'd smiled that wicked smile that made his groin pull tight, and slid her hands around his neck to pull him down into a deep kiss.

​​

Her kiss was intoxicating. He couldn't believe he'd kept himself away from her this long. He'd just spent two hours with Chris that had felt like a lifetime, knowing she was just a few floors away, ready.

But here, now, with her hands on him, and his lips on hers…his breath came fast and furious. He had his fingers in her hair and his lips on her neck. Her hands climbed his chest, and her breath fluttered in his ear.

He'd never been near a woman that made his skin feel like it was too tight. Let alone one that seemed to want him as bad as he wanted her. There was no fear in her. No hesitation. Nothing calculating. She wanted to kiss him, so she did.

They were both shaking and Dane let one hand slide down to her waist, while the other cupped her face. Slowly, slowly, without breaking the kiss, he walked her backwards toward the bed. When they reached it, he'd intended to let her drop backwards onto it, but she was so small compared to him, the edge of the bed hit her at the hip. Dane was forced to lean down and slip his arm under her knees and shoulder, and lift her onto the bed.

She gasped, but with a smile. Then she kissed him again. Dane hummed in his throat. He'd intended to talk to her, to draw this out, but the way she clawed for him to come up next to her, it was obvious she wanted him as much as he wanted her.

Once he had her positioned with her head on a pillow, he crawled up, and over her, letting his hips slide up until he fit—still fully clothed—between her knees.

She made a tiny noise in her throat and writhed against him, her breath coming faster. He was going to have to watch himself. If she kept doing that, this wasn't going to last long.

"Every day," she gasped, then kissed him again.

"Every day what?"

"I'll do laundry every stinking day if this is what it gets me."

Dane chuckled and his body shook against hers. She gripped his shoulders and sighed, then kissed him again. His laughter died as her hands slid down, under the hem of his shirt, and pulled up, and up. He waited until she had it bunched under his armpits, then sat back on his knees for a second to pull it over his head.

Her eyes widened and her hands splayed on his stomach. His muscled clenched and she licked her lips. "You're beautiful," she breathed.

Dane growled and pulled up on her sweater. It caught on one of her elbows and they struggled for a few seconds until her head popped out and free, and he tugged the sleeve off her hand. They were both giggling, but it turned into breathless sighs as he lowered himself over her again and their chests were skin to skin.

Dane cursed when she rolled her hips. He gripped her butt with one hand, grinding into her until she gasped, then kissed her neck and buried his fingers in her hair.

He was losing himself already. This wasn't good. He'd planned to take his time, to make sure it wasn't just good, but great. But she was so damn sexy, he was already losing control.

Unable to stop himself, he ground into her again. She gasped again and her hands slid down, from his back, around to squeeze between their bodies and meet at the buckle of his belt.

Dane groaned, but didn't stop her this time as she scrabbled at his buckle and zipper. He just pulled back far enough to let her have access and locked eyes with her, his palm cupping her face and fingers in her hair.

"I was going to make a grand speech," he gasped and had to close his eyes for a minute when she bit her lip, struggling to pull the leather belt through the loops of his jeans to get it undone. "But I'm going to just hope you know how much I want you, and how…how perfect I want this to be. Tell me what you want, Lila. Tell me how to make you happy." His belt finally popped free in her hands and they both sucked in. Her little fingers made quick work of the rest of the buckle and unzipped his jeans, then her own.

"You make me happy," she gasped as she pushed her hands in the back of his pants, trying to push them down, off his hips. But there wasn't enough space between them, and he wasn't going to give it to her until she answered his question.

Teasing her, he ground his hips into her again. She dropped her head back and whimpered. Dane reached down and took one of her hands, pulling it up, over her head and pinning it gently to the bed as he nipped her neck and she rolled her hips again.

"I want to make this as good as it gets," he panted. "Tell me what you like." He kissed her neck again, sucking gently.

Lila sighed. "What do you mean?"

"What's your favorite position?" he whispered into her ear, then nibbled on the lobe. "What makes you crazy?"

He let his full weight pin them at the hips and her head went back again. Fuck, he loved the sound she made when she did that.

"Y-you do!" she gasped again, lacing their fingers where he had her hand pinned. "You make me crazy. I don't know what else."

He chuckled into the kiss, long and lingering, pressing into her in a rhythm that promised so much more. Her breath stated to come in gasps and he could feel her tremble. This was a very good sign. They were going to be so good together.

He ground into her again and spoke into her kiss. "Tell me, Lila." Then he closed his eyes, slid his other hand under her hip and pulled up at the same time he pressed in with his hips. She made a little cry and her trembling increased.

"I'm serious, Dane." she gasped. "I don't know. I've never done this with anyone else."

Dane's eyes flew open and he froze.
