rough patches on his skin, the strength in his fingers as he gently squeezed her flesh. More importantly she could feel the currents rushing between them, the way that her skin seemed to spark everywhere that he touched. She could hear him breathing, a sudden increase and heaviness to it, the heat from his body radiated out and warmed her.
She felt the same and when she opened her eyes she wasn’t surprised to find him mere centimetres from her face. She looked up at him, at his wide brown eyes, the fine lines of his face. Then her gaze dropped to his mouth and she found herself transfixed. She licked her lips and Edward gave a barely audible groan.
“Do you feel it?” he whispered.
“Yes,” Suzanne said.
Her gaze dropped to his mouth once more and before she realised what she was doing she leaned forward, standing on the tips of her toes and pressed her lips to his. He gave a start of surprise but wasted no time in wrapping his arms around her, burying his hands in her hair.
Their mouths slanted together, first one way and then the other. Suzanne groaned gently in the back of her throat, her hands coming up to clutch at Edward’s shoulders. His lips were like velvet, playing and moving against hers with such skill it took her breath away. She could feel his pleasure against her, the strength in his arms barely restrained as he pulled her closer to him. She twisted her hands into his hair, feeling the soft brown strands tickling her palms. She found herself pulling him closer, practically wrapping her body around him and she gasped in surprise as he gently lifted her off her feet.
Edward took that for the opening that it was and slipped his tongue into her mouth. She moaned again, felt herself going limp and pliant as a rush of heat filled her at that first touch. She pressed her tongue against his, feeling the two winding around each other. Suddenly she wanted more, needed more and she pulled her head back in shock. Edward lowered his mouth to her neck, gently nipping and placing soft sucking kisses against the pale smooth skin.
Suzanne loved the feeling of his mouth on her, surety of his movements. She dug her fingers into his hair, clutched at his shoulders and moaned softly.
A sudden burst of laughter came from nearby, bringing the two back to an awareness of where they were and what they were doing. Edward pulled away, gently setting Suzanne down on the ground before he stepped back and ran his fingers through his hair, trying to bring back some semblance of order. Suzanne picked up his jacket and wrapped it around herself before she looked at Edward. They were both panting, both rumpled, Edward’s hair was in complete disarray and his lips were swollen and red from her lipstick. She took a step towards him, swaying slightly in place as her fingers itched to get back in his hair.
Somehow his shirt had come undone slightly, a shadow of chest hair peeking through the gap.
Suzanne found herself wanting to open more buttons and run her fingers and her mouth across his chest, letting the soft hair tickle her skin even more. Another burst of laughter came, making her jump in surprise.
She almost fell, knocked off balance by her heels and her thoughts but Edward reached out and grabbed her, pulling her close to him again. She gasped in shock as she felt his arousal against her stomach.
“Will you come to my suite?” He asked her quietly.
His breath was hot on her ear and he couldn’t resist gently running his tongue around the shell. Her breath stuttered and she moaned so softly it was almost inaudible. She didn’t need to think to know the answer to his question, and the word was out of her mouth before she could stop herself.
“Yes,” she said.
Edward pressed his mouth against hers again, a quick hard kiss with a gentle nip of her lips, before he pulled away and took her hand to lead her back inside.
The door clicked open and a hand sneaked through to turn on the light. The room was bathed in
