CHAPTER ELEVEN

Ivy was still stunned. Had she really aroused Farrell Stone to the point he lost control? That was what he wanted her to believe. Still, it seemed improbable.

When he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her as if she were his last chance at life, her knees went weak. Hot male flesh, lightly dusted with hair, felt alien against her smooth skin. Alien and delicious.

Farrell’s body was a wonder. As a man in his prime, he had serious muscles and a body that was honed by hard physical labor. Though he had the funds to hire a hundred laborers, she had often seen him tackling demanding jobs outside the house.

He tugged a lock of her hair. “I asked you a question, Ivy.”

“Keeping on kissing me,” she begged.

“Not until you admit you want me.” He made her yelp when he slid a hand between her thighs and entered her with two fingers.

Farrell groaned. “You’re wet and hot, my sweet. Your body doesn’t lie. But I need the words.”

It was Ivy’s turn to hover on the brink of orgasm. She shivered and ached and yearned for him to take her. “Please make love to me, Farrell. I want you. I want you to—”

He put his hand over her mouth, his laugh more of a strangled wheeze. “I’ll take it from here, sweetheart.”

Tackling the knot on her robe took longer than it should. But at last he had her naked again. Scooping her up in his arms, he managed the two steps to the bed and tumbled them both onto the mattress.

Ivy’s skin was chilled. He pulled the covers over them and nuzzled her neck. He could think of a million and one ways he wanted to pleasure her, but those would have to wait. Tonight, missionary style needed to be enough. He didn’t want to overwhelm her. He sensed that sharing a bed with him was a huge step for Ivy. He would do nothing to make her regret it.

Beneath the sheets, he found the flat plane of her belly with his right hand. Dipping lower, he touched her center and lightly stroked her clitoris. Ivy’s keening moan raised gooseflesh on his body.

Incredibly, he felt his body yanking at the reins, racing toward the finish line again. Suddenly, he remembered what he had forgotten. Hell.

He rested his forehead on her belly, his lungs gasping for air. “I’m sorry, Ivy. I forgot the condom. It’s in my pants pocket.”

She opened her eyes, her gaze hazy. “Hurry.”

The single feminine demand galvanized him. Moments later, he was back, pausing only to take care of protecting her. Then he picked up where he had left off. Her sex was swollen, entirely ready for him.

Yet, oddly, he needed reassurance. He scooted up beside her and drew her closer for a desperate kiss. “Are you ready, Ivy? I want this to be good for you, for us.”

She kissed him back, one arm curled around his neck. “If you make me wait one second longer, I swear I’ll poison your pancakes.
