CONNELLY’S FLAME

Aliyah Burke

As the twelve-year-old led her father out of the room, Dezarae waggled her fingers at Ross as he left with a promise in his gaze. Shutting the door behind them, Dezarae quickly brushed her teeth and headed for bed herself. She had a busy day ahead of her.

Two hours later, she found herself lying awake looking up through the skylight that was over her bed. “Damn him,” she swore. “Why the hell would I think he would actually come in here tonight?” Dezarae flailed her arms and legs like she was having a tantrum, moaning in frustration she rolled over, punched her pillow, and tried to fall back asleep. “Why the hell do I care?”

“Because you want me. No matter how hard you try to deny it, you want me, Firebird.” That sexy Southern drawl reached her in bed.

“Ross,” she breathed. “What are you doing here?”

He chuckled. “After that fit you threw, you are going to pretend that you are shocked to see me here?” Out of the shadows, he materialized beside her bed.

Of course he would be around to see that. “Why are you here?” Dezarae tried to keep her heartbeat slow and sound unaffected by the smell of this man. Still she rolled towards him.

“Because you called for me,” he said as he sat down beside her on the mattress.

“I did no such thing,” she protested even as her body shuddered with anticipation.

“You have been calling for me since the day we met. The same as my soul has been calling out for you.” He leaned over her, halting millimeters away from her mouth.

Dezarae opened her mouth to dispute and found his mouth on hers. Ross slid his tongue into her mouth as he simultaneously rolled her onto her back. Never breaking the kiss, he jerked the blankets off her and took their place, covering her with his own body.

Strong hands were placed on either side of her head as the kiss intensified. Tongues stroked one another as the age-old ritual began again.

Dezarae moved her hands up his back, urging him closer. The feel of his hard erection against her was mind-blowing. Her body was dripping; she was so wet for him. His chest was bare, for she could feel the warmth of his skin through her shirt.

She whimpered into his mouth as her hips bucked against him. Now! She wanted to scream that word at him but Dezarae also didn’t want the toe-curling, spine-tingling kiss to end.

Ross’s whole body was alive for her. Every inch of his skin tingled, burned, felt more alive than he had ever known possible. His body was painfully hard and with each upward thrust from Dezarae his control slipped another notch. He had never dreamed passion could be this intense.

Reluctantly, he pulled his mouth off her full one. “Tell me now, Dez,” he said in a raspy desire-filled voice.

Dezarae didn’t hesitate, “Stay with me tonight.”

Ross sighed as he lay on his side and rolled her to face him. Their lips met again, gentle this time.
