Not taking his hand off her, he used his free hand to unlock the door. He let her go ahead, and watched the seductive way she swung her hips, the silk of the dress stretched taut over her tight ass, leaving nothing to the imagination. The moment she was inside, he kicked the door shut behind him and reached out for her, pulling her back until that sexy bottom was pressed up against the growing bulge in his shorts.

With one arm locked around her waist, holding her tight, he used his other hand to gather up all her soft curls in a fist and tugged her head to the side to expose the creamy skin of her neck. The moan that escaped her lips sent electricity through his body. Rhys dropped his mouth to her neck, kissing and nibbling behind Kari’s ear. He pulled her lobe into his mouth, sucking gently before he let his tongue dart into her ear. The action caused her body to tremble, but he held her tighter and moved his mouth down her neck. He kissed, licked, and nibbled his way to her shoulder. His free hand released her hair to reach up and cup her breast, which he squeezed and kneaded as more moans escaped her throat.

Her sounds fueled him, and his mouth and hands worked together. His fingers slipped the delicate strap of her dress over her shoulder while his mouth continued his ministrations.

“God, Rhys. I…” Her words were lost when he turned her and claimed her mouth with his own. Her body responded by pressing up tighter against his and he groaned into her mouth. He needed her. Needed her to know how much he loved her, what she did to him, how she turned him on. He needed her to know all those things and so much more. And he needed her to know it—right now.

He caught her wrists in one hand and pinned them over her head and backed her up against the wall in two steps. His other hand moved quickly, sliding up her thigh, and when he discovered she wasn’t wearing any panties, he almost lost it right then and there. “Good God, woman. You make me crazy.”

“That’s the idea, babe.”

He dropped her wrists and took her face in his hand, holding her tight as he kissed her thoroughly, while his fingers explored her core. So hot. So ready. And she was all his.

Kari worked his belt free and tugged his pants down, freeing him and it was all the encouragement he needed, but then she whispered in his ear, “Rhys, I need you. Please. Take me.” He lifted her so her long, lean legs were wrapped around him, and right there in the hallway of their home, he did just that.
