CHAPTER EIGHT

MACK LEANED ON one elbow to look down at her, his other hand brushing the hair back from her forehead, momentarily lost for words. Her eyes were bright and luminous, her lips plump and swollen from his kisses, her slim legs still entwined with his. His body hummed with the aftershocks of pleasure—stunning, earth-shattering pleasure—that had taken him completely by surprise. The physical connection between them surpassed that of his other encounters but he wasn’t too keen on examining why. It raised a red flag in his head. Questioning why this encounter was so unique was a no-go zone. It had to be. He only did casual relationships. He didn’t commit. He didn’t make promises. He didn’t offer what he couldn’t give.

Elspeth brought her hand up to his face, her palm soft as a cloud against his cheek. ‘Thank you.’ Her voice was barely above a whisper and contained a note of wonder.

Mack captured her hand and kissed each of her fingertips, his eyes holding hers. ‘I should be the one thanking you.’ He realised with a jolt how honoured he felt to be her first lover. Was that why their encounter had been so special? So off the charts in sensuality and connection?

‘For what?’

‘For choosing me to be your first lover.’

Her gaze lowered to his mouth for a moment, her cheeks going a faint shade of pink. ‘I’m glad it was you. I can’t imagine making love with anyone else.’

The bright red flag popped up in his head again. Mack was finding it hard to imagine making love with anyone else too. Who else would respond to him with such passionate intensity? With such sweet and trusting generosity? Her body had felt like an extension of his own, it worked with his in perfect tandem, producing a stunning eruption of pleasure from which he was yet to recover. He dropped a kiss to her mouth and then carefully eased away, making a business of disposing of the condom, when really what he wanted to dispose of were his wayward thoughts. Thoughts of offering her a relationship, a short-term fling where they could explore the passion that had flared between them from the moment they met. Would that be crossing a line? Taking things further than what was wise?

He wanted her.

She wanted him.

What else mattered for now?

Mack came back to where Elspeth was lying on the bed. He gazed down at her nakedness with fire burning with molten heat in his blood. He bent down on one knee, and placing his hands either side of her head, leaned over her to press a lingering kiss to her mouth. He lifted his mouth off hers. ‘I should be offering you food but I keep wanting to kiss you.’

‘I’m not hungry for food.’ She touched one of her fingers against his lips. ‘I’m hungry for you.’

He took her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. ‘Elspeth...’ He took a deep breath, still trying to get his head around what he was about to say.
