Chapter Nine

What was he afraid of? That she’d rim screaming into the night. That he’d lose this tentative bond he so desperately craved. That she’d be just like everyone who’d ever looked at him and turned away with revulsion in their eyes.

“How can we do this if I’m afraid of where to put my hands?” she asked. “Is there any where…any place safe to touch you?”

There were few areas unscarred, the insides of his thighs—not that he’d suggest that—his feet, one calf. the right side of his torso. Working to keep from trembling, he carried her hand to his side and flattened it over his rib cage.

She stroked his skin and he shuddered. No one had touched him since he was thirteen years old. He was starving for this and frightened of it at the same time.

“I’m your wife.”

Yes. The fact held him in awe.

“It’s okay to touch me.”

She didn’t have to say it again. In the darkness he found the curve of her shoulder and grazed his touch downward until he held the weight of her breast in his palm. His throat tightened. She was exquisite. Her nipple hardened against his palm and he feathered his fingers back and forth across it to feel its nubby tip.

Katherine rolled to her back so he could treat the other in the same fashion. She raised a hand to the flesh of his back and pressed her palm flat. Distracted by her body’s intriguing responses, he allowed the touch.

Noah bent over her and she met his lips in a kiss more urgent than any previous. The freedom she allowed made him bold enough to discover the swell of her belly and the curve of her hips. Silently cursing his pathetic aversion to light, he recognized his shame had robbed him of seeing something incredibly beautiful and unimaginably erotic. She was made for pleasure—visual and sensual.

She turned onto her side to face him and kissed him back in a melding of lips and tongues and bodies, pressing herself against him until his engorged penis lay cradled between her soft thighs.

She ran her palm over his chest then, her touch fueling the fire in his body at the same time it signaled his brain. He caught her hand and moved it to his ribs. Wedging her knee between his thighs, she once again stroked his chest. This time he didn’t stop her.

He cupped her bottom and moved against her, and she felt so incredible he feared this time would be over before it had really started.

She eased back, taking him with her, and parted her thighs.

Noah supported his weight away from her stomach. “You sure this is all right?”

“I think so. If it hurts, I’ll tell you.”

He leaned on an arm that trembled and explored the secrets she offered, amazed at her yielding folds of softness. He found a slick ridge that, when he passed the pad of his fingers over, made her draw a quick breath. “Hurt?” he asked.

“Oh, no,” she whispered.

He devoted his attention to eliciting a reaction from her.
