Edge let out a soft moan as he kissed Lita back, his hands going up to tangle into her soft red hair. And then he lowered one hand down the side of her body, marveling in the softness of the skin of her shoulder and arm.
It felt as though this were all nothing more than a dream. Had he really just told her as much as he had about his life? Was he really sitting here in his car, kissing this beautiful woman?
She pulled back just enough to break the kiss, her eyes fixing on his in the darkness. Her breathing was just as heavy as his was, her breath warm against his face. Damn, she tasted sweet.
"Come back to my place tonight..." the redhead whispered. She cocked her head as she kept her eyes on his. "Stay with me tonight."
Edge felt his heart doing little flip-flops at the desire laced through her voice, nearly breathless by her kiss. He was definitely getting in over his head here, because one thing was certain - he was falling in love with Lita.
The tall blond man closed the mere inch of distance between them and captured her lips for another searing kiss. Her tongue came into play instantly, causing him to cry out in her mouth. The passion just out of their kisses was so intense, it had him nearly overwhelmed.
Finally, breaking the kiss, his breathing still heavy, he turned back to face forward, flipping the key in the ignition. He could feel her gaze still on him as he pressed his foot on the accelerator, zipping forward in the night - heading back to her house.
The ride took a mere ten minutes, and the blond man was so full of anticipation, he could taste it. The redhead's gaze was still on him, her hazel eyes gentle as he pulled the car just into her driveway, then put it in park.
Edge hurried out of the vehicle, going around to the other side and opening the passenger's side door to show the young woman some chivalry. She took hold of his hand, offering him a small smile as she allowed him to help her out of the car. And the moment she was out, he pulled her into his embrace, dipping his head to kiss her again.
Quickly, she pulled back, breaking the kiss and reaching down, grabbing his hand. She gazed up into his face, biting her lip gently as she started the small trek up the walk to her house. As though mesmerized, the blond man followed, his heart thumping in the anticipation of what he knew would happen once they were inside.
Even Cody's barking couldn't startle him away from the situation. As they entered the house, the redhead dropping her purse on the small table just beyond the front door in the tiny hallway, the dog bounded up to them, surprisingly calm. The blond man patted the doberman on the head for a beat before looking back up at the beautiful redhead. Her hazel eyes were full of desire and yearning as she gazed up at him.
"Come with me."
She eased away from him, a tiny smile touching her lovely lips as she backed away down the hallway. She knew her little place like the back of her hand, every niche, crook and cranny and expertly weaved her way through to her bedroom.
She ushered him inside, the blond man silent as he entered the room. Cody, who was right behind him, peered up at her with soulful brown eyes, a whimper escaping the dog as she closed the door behind herself. Call her ridiculous, but she felt funny with her pet in the room during such a time.
Lita turned around then, realizing the tall blond was directly behind her, his green gaze fixed to her face longingly. He cocked his head as he drank her in, his hands coming up to cup her face.
She craned her neck a bit to meet him halfway, her lips instantly parting to allow his tongue entrance into her mouth as they kissed. She moaned softly as his tongue tangled with her own, dizzying her with the extent of passion between them. God, she felt as though she were drowning, but in a good and beautiful way.
"Adam..." she breathed against his face. "... Oh, God."
He opened his eyes as he nuzzled her, somewhat surprised at her usage of his real name. It was the first time she'd used it. But it was a nice feeling, and lord knew, she now already knew his story, so why *shouldn't* she refer to him by it? He moved his face just enough to reclaim her lips again, his hands coming down to roam over her firm, yet soft in all the right places, and very curvy body.
She sighed against his mouth, her heart nearly stopping at the sensations running through her. What was it about this man? Sure, they'd had an almost magnetic mutual attraction from the very start, but she knew there was much, much more to it than that. She was falling in love with this man.
Lita felt his hands on her shoulders, toying with the spaghetti straps of her red slinky dress, and a chill thrilled through her as she slid her own hands up, through his trenchcoat. He moved just enough so that he was able to shrug out of the garment, and in an instant, her small hands were at his shirt, toying with the buttons. She raised her gaze to his, their eyes locked as she unbuttoned the shirt, her lips parting ever so slightly in delicious anticipation.
With Edge's shirt off, the blond man reached back, pulling at the zipper on the back of the redhead's dress. At the same time, her hands danced over the skin of his stomach, causing his abs to jump slightly, and she smiled at the motion. Then, slowly, she slid her hands lower, to the button and zipper of his slacks. She held her breath as she raised her gaze back up to his emerald eyes, his aroused state not at all lost on her. In an instant, the pants were down, as was her dress, and he kicked out of his shoes as she stepped away from her own garment.
His green eyes stared up and down her body appreciatively, his tongue coming out to gently lick his lips as he drank her in. Meanwhile, his erection grew fuller and harder in his boxers, causing the front of them to tent. The redhead's gaze dropped to that area, and her tongue came out to moisten her lips as she reached down and fondled him.
A long sigh left his lips as he felt her hand on him, his eyes closing as he pulled her flush against him, lowering his head to press his lips to hers, and this time, their kiss was even more demanding and ardent than before. He yanked at her bra, his fingers finding the front clasp between her breasts and pulling at it, freeing the soft flesh cased within. He heard her gasp as his fingers caressed her, then quickly lowered to the waistband of her bikini panties.
In seconds, they were out of their remaining undergarments, and the blond man lifted her up in his arms, his lips consuming hers as they pressed skin-to-skin. Lita cried out against him as she clasped her legs around his narrow waist, and she felt him reach down, his hand between them, and he gripped himself, working himself into her.
"Adam... Oh, God, Adam..." she breathed, a moan bubbling its way up past her lips as he lowered them, still inside of her, laying her on her back on the foot of the bed. Then, he began their lovemaking with slow, easy thrusts, waiting for her to adjust to his size. It didn't take long, and soon, she was begging him to go faster.
"Sweet Christ," Edge swore, his breathing fast and heavy as he slammed in and out of her. She felt so amazing - so wet and tight and slippery - and he felt he could just about die at how very good it felt to be inside of her.
She reached up for him, pulling his blond head down to her, capturing his lips in yet another demanding and searing kiss. As it broke, she let out a sharp cry as the orgasm hit her, knocking the breath from her body as she spasmed and clenched around him.
The tall blond man growled at the sensations. She was amazing. He felt himself spiraling over as well, a moan slipping past his lips, followed by her name as he emptied into her.
Afterward, he pulled out of her, sliding onto the bed and beside her, his arms banding
securely around her waist, holding her against him. He gazed down into her lovely face, which
was beaded with perspiration, and placed a gentle, affectionate kiss on her lips. Despite the
turmoil his life had been in over the last couple of years, he felt truly good... and safe.
