Chapter Thirteen

Ella swallowed and grabbed hold of the lapels of her robe, waffling in the importance of the decision she faced. She could cover herself and end this recklessness. Or she could take a chance for the first time in years. Did she trust herself?

For as much grief as Mack had given her for buying a stake in his garage, he’d given her something else as well. A confidence she’d misplaced somewhere along the way. He had let her choose the new software and handle the website updates and seemed to think she was more than capable of planning the classic car show and fundraiser.

She peeled the robe apart and let it slip to her elbows. He stared at her breasts, and under his gaze, they grew heavy and sensitive. She fought the urge to cover herself under the intensity. She could either own the moment or be crushed by it.

She’d accepted challenges all her life, and this one was more important to conquer than any. She shook her hair over her shoulders and covered his fisted hands with her own.

“Will you say something?” Her too-high voice didn’t contain any of the sultriness she attempted to inject.

“I’m speechless.” In contrast, Mack’s voice was deeper and rougher than usual.

He brought his hands to her waist, gently tracing the long scar from the dog bite. Slowly, he inched his fingers up her sensitive skin and encircled her rib cage. His thumbs brushed the underside of her breasts. Tingles zipped through her body, tightening her nipples until they were almost painful.

“You’re amazing.” The harshness of his tone offset the sentiment, yet his lack of discipline was a turn-on.

She reached for him, but her arms were caught in the robe as surely as if she was tied. He took advantage, tilting her forward. Even though she was experienced enough to know where his mouth was headed, the first contact between his lips and her nipple wrung a moan from her. She didn’t have time to be embarrassed when his tongue did something equally as knee weakening. He alternately flicked the nub and sucked it deep. While he worked back and forth, his beard rasped against her skin, piling pleasure upon pleasure.

“That feels…” She hesitated a moment, searching for a word to adequately describe the effect he was having on her body. One wouldn’t do. “Incredible. Magnificent. Magical. Do you have special powers or something?”

His soft laugh while her nipple was still in his mouth sent a different sort of weakness through her. This one had a warm quality, like a quilt being stitched between them with every shared experience.

He transferred his mouth to her other nipple but covered her abandoned breast with his hand. She squirmed and arched her back, driving herself onto his erection. Dear Lord, she couldn’t wait to get her hands and mouth on him.

Why did she have wait to take what she wanted? She fought her robe off her arms and let it puddle around his feet. She was left in a pair of black lace underwear she’d spent too much money on at Abigail’s Boutique.
