Tall, Dark and Handsome

Chapter 11

"If this is some sort of tactic you use to seduce women to bed, you really need to overthink things through next time because this is borderline assault." I quipped, turning my cheek towards his charming grin and ocean blue eyes that could make anyone weak in their knees. His finger curled underneath my chin, forcing me to look back into his heated gaze and silenced me with a gentle kiss on the corner of my mouth that promised much, much more. The corners of his eyes only crinkled deeper when he flashed me with one his signature blindly sweet smiles which always made my heart flutter against my ribcage.

"I remembered specifically if it weren't for me, you would have fallen off the boat." Tom teased with a voice so warm and silky; it reminded me of my favourite dessert, molten lava cake. His hands ignited shivers and bumps along my arms as he ran down their bare flesh, only to run back up before sliding down the thin straps of my dress. Aware of his hot breath on my neck and the vulnerability of my position—sitting in his lap and wearing a much too thin dress—I shifted my body away from his only to find myself whimpering at the hard contours of his body against the soft ones of mine. His spicy earthy scent enveloped me as he continued to sneakily undress me, a tug here, a zip there and then I found myself to have my lacy bra completely exposed to his eyes and my dress to pool around my waist. I held my breath when his eyes met mine and then running down my neck and finally, resting of my over spilling breasts in my one size too small bra. I shuddered underneath his touch when he ran a thumb just along my ribs where the curve of my breast met, igniting an electrifying path. "And I never do anything unless the other wants me to..." He drawled patiently, running his hands behind my back and with expert skill and experience, I gasped when my bra fell down, exposing me completely as the cool air conditioning licked my nipples, turning them into bright pink peaks. "Do you want me to?" Tom asked slowly, drawing out each word until it became painfully clear what I wanted.

Oh god, yes.

"Yes." I managed to speak even with an unbearably dry throat and the roar of blood rushing in my ears. Without as much as a stutter, his hands went to my waist and helped me gain balance so I could stand on my two feet.

"Strip." He commanded. How was it possible that one word could send my whole body to become nothing but a ball of nerves and sexual need?

Blushing, I hesitantly reached for the zipper on the back—mostly already unzipped by him. The soft cool fabric dropped and pooled around my ankles as soon as the zipper finished its path. Standing in front of him in nothing but my barely there panties and stilettos, I would have felt absolutely embarrassed and petrified at the thought of being so naked in front of anyone if it wasn't Tom. His intense gaze lit my skin alive, buzzing and humming with thrillingly nervous energy, making me feel like the sexiest woman to ever live. "You are absolutely divine." Tom muttered, placing two hands on either side of my hips, drawing me closer towards where he sat. His finger trailed the outer edges of the frilly lacy of my panties, studying them as if it was the most fascinating thing in the world before he hooked a finger and slid it down past my curvy hips towards my ankles. Motioning me to step out of them, I did as I was told and stood still, anticipating his next move. I moaned when he squeezed tightly on my buttocks, kneading the firm globes in his hands only to return his demanding attention to my breasts, tweaking at the nipples between his fingers. Not wasting any more fruitless time, he pulled me down onto the bed and climbed over me, staring deeply into my eyes with his smouldering gaze. His hand ran along the side of my body, brushing lightly against my breast and stopped just when it was at the hip. Holding in a tight breath, his fingers slowly edged towards my delicate pink folds, tracing them until I made them glisten in my wetness. I didn't realize I was gripping onto the sheets so tightly in hopes of suppressing my moans and my body writhing out of control until he whispered lightly into my ear. "Relax." Tom urged, kissing me along the crane of my neck.
