Chapter 13

INDIE

Seth leaned over her, his eyes dark, and her heart started beating hard in her chest in response to the intensity.

He kissed her so lightly she barely felt it, except for the spark of electricity flaring between their lips that made her breath hitch in anticipation.

He kissed down her neck, blazing a trail of butterfly kisses to her collarbone, dipping his tongue into the indent where the two met.

Indie gasped as she grabbed his hair, her body eager for the onslaught of his touch.

He kept his hands firmly on either side of her head, only touching her with his mouth, the lightest of fires being ignited along her skin.

He followed the neckline of her nightshirt with tiny touches of his tongue.

With a frustrated moan, Indie pulled the offending garment off so that he would have the freedom to roam ~everywhere. ~His soft laughter sent shivers down her spine.

And then his mouth closed over her sensitive nipple and he sucked it hard. Indie cried out at the shock of him changing from gentle kisses to harder pressure.

He bit her hardened bud before moving to the other and lavishing it with the same hard nips and sucks, teasing it to even more sensitivity with his tongue.

“Seth…,” she breathed when he moved to her ribs, his mouth again featherlight as he licked along each indent, kissing the soft flesh at her waist.

He nipped at the swell of her belly, just above her belly button.

He hovered at the waistband of her pants, slowly sliding his tongue along its folds but still not using his hands, making her groan as she pulled the obstacle down her hips.

With a smile that could light up the town’s twenty-foot Christmas tree, Seth sat back and pulled her pants the rest of the way down her legs, leaving her totally exposed to his gaze.

She blushed as she watched him, trying to cover herself with the comforter.

“Don’t do that,” he said softly as he pulled it out of her hand, gently pulling her to sit up with him.

His eyes flashed dangerously for a moment, but went soft and warm as he looked at her. “You don’t ever have to hide from me.”

“It’s just that I’m not a size four, never mind a size two. I could never look like Felicity—”

“Thank God for that! He made you just the way you were supposed to be!” He leaned forward and kissed her neck.

“I can tell you that Felicity envies you, but that’s a conversation for another time. Right now, it’s you, me, and a certain kind of dancing.”

“Dancing, huh?” Indie gasped as he leaned forward and took her nipple in his mouth again.

“Mmmm…” He hummed while his lips surrounded her breast, and Indie felt her body melt as the sound vibrated straight to her throbbing core.

She could feel him smile as he licked a path across to her other breast and started nibbling around her yearning peak.

He groaned as she hissed, tugging his head tighter to her arching body. “So freaking sweet…way more decadent than pumpkin pie…”

She pulled his head up by his ears. “You’re comparing me to a pie?”

He laughed loudly as he placed a knee between her legs. “No, I am ~not ~comparing you to a pie…”

She raised an eyebrow at him but found it hard to focus when he started laying butterfly kisses on the inside of her knee.

“I…um…distinctly heard…~ohhh~…yo-you say…”

“~More decadent than pumpkin pie,~” he supplied when her words ran dry. He bit the inside of her thigh and then gently licked it before blowing a puff of warm air over the wet spot.

Indie moaned as she writhed beneath him. Through her fluttering eyelashes, she saw his hands fist into the sheets as he tried to maintain control.

“The thing is that…” He repeated his action a little higher on her thigh. “I can’t compare you…”

Indie’s hand grabbed onto his hair as he took another nip higher up her leg; she smiled through another moan as she heard his breath catch.

“You can’t?” she prompted.

“No, I can’t compare… O~h, Indie~…,” he groaned as he placed a kiss against her intimate lips, causing sparks to shoot throughout her whole body.

How Indie was able to laugh with what he was doing to her amazed her. “You can’t compare what?”

“You to…anything…” His breath was becoming erratic, and Indie was glad that he was not as in control as he wanted her to believe. “Never mind…a pie I’ve…never tasted…”

“Oh…~ohhh~…” The elation she felt changed into surprise when he slipped his tongue between her folds and tasted her deeply, making her arch her hips against his mouth.

He flicked the tip of his tongue against her very responsive nub and Indie cried out. He must have liked the sound because he did it again…and again.

Indie felt the tension grow in her body as he continued licking and then sucking her throbbing core.

His name changed from a soft moan to a chant that became louder as she neared her pinnacle.

The sensations he was creating were something she had never experienced, her entire body responding to that one moment when her whole being, soul included, was set alight by his mouth.

She felt bits of herself fall away from her physical being as Seth steered her toward her release…

And then he stopped, his eyes watching her reaction as her own eyes flew open to look at him in confusion.

SETH

Her eyes flashed gold in the gloomy light of the TV, her confusion clear. He had started kissing her to take it slow.

That resolve was lost at the first taste of her, disappearing like dry paper in a fireplace. And he knew that he’d dissolve like a drop of water in the desert if he touched her.

He had tried to keep it slow, but her responsiveness, her sighs, and her moans were adding more lighter fuel to the fire raging in his veins.

Tasting that sweet nectar that was completely Indie had him in a cold sweat.

His heart was hammering in his chest as he met her gaze.

He opened his hands to ease the cramp in his fingers, and they automatically slid down to her trembling thighs, the soft friction making them both moan.

“Indie…” His voice was hoarse as he said her name.

She tightened her hand in his hair, pulling him back to the overly sensitive spot he had been teasing, seeking her release.

He gently shook his head free as he moved to kiss her mouth again, wanting to be in her when she went over the edge.

He cupped her womanhood with his hand and slipped a finger into her wetness.

Indie cried out, her slick folds tightening as he explored her depths, and Seth bit his lip as he dropped his forehead to the pillow beside her.

“Seth, please…,” she pleaded. He shifted between her thighs, and she wrapped her legs around his waist to accommodate him.

With the hope of regaining some control, he extricated his finger from her and circled her mouth with it, the scent of her having the opposite effect of what he had intended.

And when her eyes flashed a dangerous dark gold, he realized he was in trouble, especially when she gave him a soft warning. “No more teasing…”

Seth roared as he entered her in one swift move when she drew his finger into her mouth and sucked it hard, the action making him respond instinctively.

He closed his eyes and sucked in a much-needed breath as every part of him stopped functioning.

The only thing his mind could register was that when he slid into her warmth, he had found the part of him that had been missing. That he had found his home.

Her womanly tunnel clenched around his throbbing member, making him see stars.

He felt her arms circle his shoulders as he withdrew, and her nails dug into his back as he pushed into her again.

His control slipped even more when she reached forward and sucked his hammering pulse point.

And when she scraped her teeth over that spot, Seth conceded defeat to his body, his mind joining his soul in realms he had never experienced before as he carried them over the abyss.
