Trouble in Paradise by Capri Montgomery Page B

his fingers came between her legs. His rolled up sleeve was embraced by water but it didn’t stop him. He pushed lower as he deepened his exploration. Her head fell back. “Oh,” she moaned as his fingers toyed with her.
     
    She felt his other hand taking the clip out of her hair, sending her hair cascading downward. She heard the clanking of the decorative clip hitting the floor and then she felt that hand come to her breast as he pushed one finger inside her.
     
    She clutched the sides of the tub. Her eyes were shut so tight she was starting to see stars. She already felt the sensations building within her like a volcano ready to erupt.
     
    She arched, sending her head back even more and her hair falling lower. He pressed another finger into her while pressing his thumb over her sensitive dial and she went off like a lit firecracker. Thank goodness they were in the guest house because anywhere else and everybody would have known what was happening in this bathroom.
     
    When her breathing settled and her eyes opened she saw the look of dark sensuous satisfaction on Sterling’s face. He pulled his fingers from within her, got to his feet and started to, with controlled movements, remove his shirt. He tossed it on the floor before doing the same with his pants and underwear. Before she could even process the beauty of the naked man in front of her he was in the tub on the other end, wrapping his hands around her arm and pulling her up into his embrace. On her knees with her legs straddled his hips there is where he started his exploration. His tongue mating with hers, his hand stroking her wet skin, and then he entered her smoothly with control as if taking great care not to hurt her, but to make her first time of consent pleasurable for her. Here is where he took her. Here is where she gave him the only thing he hadn’t already possessed—her body. God knows he long ago had her heart. And the way her waking thoughts seemed to be consumed with the man she would say he had her mind too. Now he had the rest of her. Now he had it all.
     

     
    Sterling stroked wet tendrils of hair out of Bambi’s face. She had fallen asleep in that tub with him still inside her and her naked body pressed firmly against his. With her head resting on his chest he watched her. This was his heaven. She was his goddess and he finally had confirmation that she wanted him the same as he had wanted her. While she was drifting off to sleep she had released a pleasured sigh and mumbled the words, “I love you, Sterling.” His heart had picked up the beat to a triple staccato movement as he sat there floored. He loved her too, but before he could tell her that he realized she had fallen asleep. He would say it to her, but he would say it while she could hear him, while she was awake enough to know just what those words meant to him.
     
    He let her sleep a bit longer. He didn’t want to wake her, but the water was getting cold and they still needed to eat dinner. “Time to get up, beautiful.”
     
    “But I’m comfortable here,” she mumbled.
     
    “The water’s getting cold and we have to eat. I think the ladies will miss us if we don’t turn up for dinner.”
     
    “True,” she said as she carefully disentangled her body from his. “Um,” her lips twisted as she gnawed on her bottom lip. “This was…?”
     
    “Us finally getting it right,” he said as he looked in her eyes. “Because I love you too. I’ve loved you for a long time and now that you have uttered those words to me, now that we’ve done what we’ve done, I feel safe telling you those words.”
     
    She smiled at him sheepishly before giggling. “I thought I was dreaming that part.”
     
    “Nope. You really said it.”
     
    “Good. I really meant it.”
     
    “I really mean it too. Now come on, we need to get to dinner.”
     
    She nodded on a yawn. He really did wish they could stay in that moment forever, but they couldn’t. Dinner awaited them, but
