closed the two steps between our toes. My heart pounded hard, racing with the knowledge that I was about to be kissed by him… this man who had awakened lusts of a nature I had never felt—ever.
    The anticipation when his head dipped sent the blood roaring through my veins.
    His lips angled against mine, testing with a frictional brush, and then his tongue was swiping in a way that stole my breath. After a teasing pull with his teeth, he deepened the kiss, and my tongue eagerly mingled with his.
    There was not a way to pinpoint what was different about this kiss from any other I had ever had, but it was incomparable.
    Hot and sweet, it kept me hoping he would never stop.
    When he did, I couldn’t care after all, because this luscious attention had moved. The touch of his lips singed the side of my neck, and a shiver screamed down my spine as his attentiveness continued to my throat and trailed to the other side.
    His fingers splayed over the ribs beneath my arms, and his thumbs lazily traced their sensitive targets making me wish the thin barrier of my bra and shirt nonexistent. I could feel my breasts straining to his touch, the nipples peaked to attention.
    Resting my forehead on his shoulder, I pressed closer, putting my lips to the skin of his chest. Deeply, I breathed in his showered scent and tried not to worry that I had sweated for the better part of the day. My hands flattened on his chest, greedy for the feel of his skin, then encircled around to the corded muscles of his back. With the addition of his tongue to these searing kisses, my knees gave out, and I clasped his torso for support.
    A groan left my lips, and after a moment, he suspended this delicious torture. His hands roved and roamed. When I was able to do more than hang on, I took a taste of the tan chest that had tantalized my senses from first sight.
    This caused him to pause as I continued, and without the distraction of what he was doing, I gave myself over to what I was doing. With a slight push to separate us, his fingers fiddled with the hem of the stretchy tank top I wore.
    “Marissa?”
    My ears savored the sound of my name in that deep timbered drawl, and then my muddled mind comprehended he was waiting for permission in one form or another.
    Pushing at his hands, I yanked at the shirt myself, and the air conditioner cooled my fevered skin as the scrap of material fell to the floor. His fingers immediately inflamed my body again as they slid here and there, appreciatively pausing on curves and contours. Guitar callused fingers caught on smooth silk. Impatient with the lacy triangles hindering his new targets, his fingers dipped beneath the red fabric of my bra where they caressed and teased with toying tugs until crazed, I unclasped the garment hoping his wandering mouth would move in that direction.
    My feet left the floor, and I found myself perched on the counter while he gratified that longing. Circling a sensitive nipple with his tongue, he ended that tease with his teeth, tugging it beyond his lips, into his hot mouth. His lips closed around it, and the next suckling tug had me gulping back a moan. The tip of his tongue teased as he released and sucked again. The shaggy strands of his hair were silky against my chin, and the pads of my fingers pressed into his scalp unconsciously holding him to me.
    The playlist had ended, and the quietness was broken only by the soft sensual sounds of what he was doing, the barely restrained whimpers escaping my throat, and the clatter of my sunglasses to the countertop as they slipped from my head.
    My gaze fell on Rusty, finding the animal watching intently. Blocking out the bizarre image, I pressed my eyelids closed, but the enhanced sensation from doing so, and the next swipe of his tongue, down the valley between my breasts, caused my head to loll on my neck and my eyes to fall open to the track lighting on the ceiling.
    His mouth wandered to the other breast, lavishing it with equal attention.
