Kerrigan swallowed nervously, realizing a little too late the extent of what she had said. She looked away from him, afraid to see the rejection on his face.

Dominic pulled her chin back toward him so that he could seek out the truth of her words in her eyes. “You love me?”

Kerrigan straightened her back and set her chin firmly. “You’re a stubborn jackass sometimes, who drives me absolutely insane and then pushes me away, but yes…I love you, Dominic Grayson.”

His lips were on hers in a passionate kiss before she had a chance to say anything further. Dominic wove his fingers into the hair at the nape of her neck, and he pulled her closer, deepening the kiss. Never had someone said something so passionate to him. He had no doubt in his mind that she meant every word of it. And she was right. About everything.

Kerrigan maneuvered herself until she was able to climb into his lap. She wasn’t about to let him escape her this time, so she nudged his shoulders to encourage him to fall back onto the bed. He did so without putting up even the slightest bit of a fight, and she locked her arms and legs on either side of him, caging him in. She knew it would take nothing for him to break her hold, but he wasn’t trying to, so that had to be a good sign.

When she needed a breath, she broke the kiss and turned her attention to his neck. Her hands drifted along his sides until she found the bottom of his shirt. In one swift movement, she tugged it up and over his head. He gave no indication that he was going to stop her, so she bent her head to do what she had wanted to do since she first saw him standing half naked in the hallway. She kissed him everywhere.

His strong arms encased her as he ran his hands up and down her back until they settled on her hips. Slowly, he lifted the hem of her shirt and pulled it over her head. Kerrigan sat up and smiled down at him. She removed her bra and tossed it onto the floor, studying his face for a reaction.

His eyes swept over her bare breasts, and he licked his lips in anticipation of tasting her creamy skin. “You’re so beautiful, Querida.” His voice was deep and passionate.

“So are you,” she breathed. In far too much of a hurry, she snaked a hand between their bodies and eagerly tugged on the first button of his jeans.

“Querida,” he started, stilling her hand.

“Shh.” Kerrigan put a finger over his lips. “Please don’t stop, Dominic. Not this time. Not ever again.”

Dominic closed his eyes and exhaled an exaggerated breath.

Sensing his reluctance, Kerrigan used his own words against him. “Just let go, Dominic. I promise I’ll catch you.”

He inhaled sharply and opened his eyes. He searched her face for any sign that she might not be ready for such a physical leap in their relationship. Hell, it had been forever since he had been with anyone intimately himself, and God knew he wanted her, but it had to be right. He had to be certain she wouldn’t have any regrets afterward. He swallowed the lump in his throat and with quiet determination asked, “Are you sure?”

“I haven’t been sure about a lot of things in my life, but I know I want this…I want
you
, body and soul.” Her voice was sultry, yet determined. “Make love to me, Dominic Grayson.”

That was all he needed to hear.

He sat up and cupped her face in his hands before pulling her into a hungry kiss. He devoured her, ravished her just as he had promised. But he wasn’t done there. Flesh met flesh when Dominic rolled them over on the bed. Kerrigan’s blood felt like liquid fire in her veins as his lips skimmed across the bare skin of her neck and chest. He found the hardened peak of her breast and latched on, suckling, licking, teasing. Kerrigan’s back arched to bring him closer, and her hands wound through his hair. The heat of his skin against her own was almost scorching, but the coolness of his icy breath created a delicious concoction that nearly drove her mad.

Dominic’s lips forged a trail of open-mouth kisses down her stomach and lingered on the birthmark at her hip. His tongue swirled around his mark’s twin. Kerrigan’s body twisted and turned on the bed as she moaned inaudible words. The sensation was almost too much for her to bear. Having mercy on her, Dominic gave one last kiss to the source of her undoing and hooked his thumbs under the waistband of her shorts to slowly pull them down. Once they were discarded, he sat back and admired the view of Kerrigan in nothing but a white satin thong.

He groaned when she shifted her thighs together under his gaze. “Jesus, Querida.”

Dominic ran his hands along her legs and over her knees to gently nudge her thighs apart. Kerrigan’s breath hitched in her throat when he lowered his head and placed feather light kisses to the thin material that covered her intimate center. He pulled her panties to the side, his cold breath ghosting over her sensitive flesh. A sultry mewl clawed its way out of her throat. Green eyes met crystal blue pools as he dipped his head again to taste her.

He pleasured her with his mouth, taking his fill and bringing her to the brink of ecstasy with his masterful skills. His tongue did things that no mere mortal man should be able to do, but then again, Dominic wasn’t a mere mortal. Kerrigan’s head thrashed about, and she pushed and pulled at his hair. It was too much, yet she wanted more. When Dominic inserted two long fingers inside her and began to move them back and forth, she finally got what she had been seeking. Her very first orgasm.

Kerrigan’s body went rigid, her voice a keening moan as every nerve ending in her body sparked to life. “Oh…God…Dominic.”

“Mmm, you like that. Don’t you, Querida? Eres tan delicioso…you’re so delicious.”

The husky sound of his voice set off another euphoric wave, and he continued to pleasure her with his lips, his tongue – his icy breath. When she couldn’t stand any more, Dominic granted her a brief reprieve. He had every intention of seeing her in that orgasmic state as many times as her body could stand before the night was through.

After pulling her panties down her legs to leave her completely naked, he crawled back up her body, planting chaste kisses to her skin along the way. When he reached her lips, Kerrigan rose to meet him. She sank her fingers into his hair and held him in place, using the leverage she had gained when he was caught off guard to switch their positions. She had no idea what she was doing, having never been with a
real
man, but she knew she wanted to kiss him, taste him, and feel him
everywhere
. So that was exactly what she did.

Kerrigan took her time as she worked her way down Dominic’s body. His muscles became taut under her touch, and his golden skin shined with a light sheen of sweat brought on by their efforts. Her tongue drew patterns through the thin patch of hair that started at his bellybutton and disappeared just below the waist of his jeans. A baritone rumble vibrated through Dominic’s chest as she popped the first button of his jeans, and then the next, and then the next until his cock sprang free.

Taking him in her hand, she stroked him, fascinated by the silky smoothness under her fingertips. Admittedly, she was a bit intimidated by his size. He was colossal, and it took both of her hands to adequately cover him.

She had never found that part of a man’s anatomy to be particularly attractive, but Dominic was beautiful, like a sculptured piece of art. His tip glistened with a spot of wetness, and although she had never attempted it before, she wanted to taste him. She licked her lips. Dominic started to protest, anticipating what she had in mind, but before he could stop her, she flicked her tongue out and gathered up the salty pool.

He threw his head back, and a hiss escaped his lips. His reaction was encouraging, so Kerrigan took him into her mouth fully. He nearly came on the spot. It had been too long, and the hot wetness that engulfed his cock, the way her lips looked and felt – it was too much. His control began to slip. If she didn’t stop, he wouldn’t be able to contain himself.

Gathering as much strength as he could, he sat up, forcing her to relinquish her hold.

“Did I do something wrong?” she asked, her voice laced with worry and embarrassment.

“Oh no, Querida. You’re doing everything right, which is why you have to stop. If you don’t…well, let’s just say I’ll finish well before we ever really get started.”

“Oh,” she said, her face registering that she caught his drift.

She lay back on the bed, and he stood to shed his pants as Kerrigan watched him. He was more stunning than she had ever imagined. All sinewy muscles, smooth, tawny skin, and an ass that could make a grown woman cry. The look on his face when he came back to join her – he was lust personified.

Dominic hovered over her, positioning himself between her legs and teasing the sensitive spot just below her ear with his lips. The weight of his naked body on top of hers felt every bit as primal as his intimate movements. Their hips undulated against each other, and they both moaned at the sensational friction it caused. The promise of what was to come hung thick in the air, and between Kerrigan’s thighs.

Finally, Dominic lined himself up with her opening. He whispered into her ear, slow and tantalizing. “Te amo tanto, Querida…I love you…
so much
.”

And with those words, he entered her, claiming her for his own.

They both made a keening sound at the feel of finally being joined together, not only physically, but mentally, and emotionally as well. Their bodies melded together, becoming one. They were made for one another. No one could argue that truth.

Dominic buried his head into the crook of her neck. His breaths were labored as he fought to maintain control. Once the urge to combust subsided, he looked into her eyes, hitched one of her legs over his hip, and began to move in and out of her at a slow, but intense pace.

Kerrigan dug her fingertips into his bicep while her other hand held on to his side. Her bottom lip was caught between her teeth, and her eyes shuttered closed. His cock filled and stretched her. He felt so good inside her, and she was overcome with desire so thick she thought she might combust into a thousand tiny micro particles of bliss.

Dominic dipped his head again to ravish her neck with hungry kisses. “Christ…you have no idea how good you feel, Querida,” he mumbled against her flesh.

His hips rolled against hers in waves. His pace quickened, and his thrusts intensified. Deeper and deeper he moved, every motion sending her spiraling to a place where only Dominic could take her. He was everywhere, and everything. His body enveloped hers in a heated embrace, connecting them together in the most primal of ways. All she wanted to do was melt into him, embed herself into his flesh until her blood was his blood, her breaths were his breaths, her pleasure was his pleasure. Until her existence was his existence.

Kerrigan hugged him close. Her nails dug into his back while her other hand eagerly cupped his ass, round and firm. She urged him closer still. It wasn’t enough. It would never be enough. She was a glutton for all he had to offer.

“Please, Dominic. I need to…”

She didn’t have to say anything more. Dominic understood exactly what she needed. He pulled back to look at Kerrigan. Her hair was a mess, one strand falling into her face. Stuttered breaths spilled from her parted lips, her brows furrowed. She bit down on her lip to keep from moaning too loudly. Their bodies were heated, on high alert, and in search of something epic. It was like the perfect storm, raging out of control and leaving complete chaos in its wake.

Dominic could feel it, too. They were right there. All they needed was just…a little…bit…more.

His hand slid beneath her ass. He lifted her to shift their angle and gain better access to give her little bundle of nerves the friction she desired. That was all it took. Kerrigan’s walls constricted around his cock. The coil that had been winding tight in her belly finally sprang free, and she was shoved over the edge. Her hands tightened on his back, and a pulsing sensation vibrated through every nerve ending in her body. She was lost to her orgasm.

“Oh…
fuck
, Querida!” Dominic cursed. The vision of her undoing shot straight to his cock. A roar that rivaled that of a lion’s erupted from the back of his throat. He pushed into her, his thrusts becoming uneven. And then every muscle in his body went still as lights exploded behind his closed lids, and he came.

Spent and lacking the energy to hold his weight up any longer, Dominic collapsed on top of Kerrigan. Not wanting to smother her, he rolled to his side and gathered her up into his arms. He peppered kisses along her shoulders, her arms, and any part of her that he could reach.

Panting, Dominic was the first to speak. “That was…”

“Amazing,” Kerrigan finished on an exhaled breath.
