Re: VIP Area
Luke was in no condition to be even moderately capable of introspection, but he didn't need to be, not when it came to her. No amount of time could change how he felt, and so it wasn't surprising that she could still make his heart skip a beat with nothing more than fingers and a possessive sort of demand in her eyes. There had never been anyone else who'd come close to having that sort of effect on him; not back then, and not now, regardless of Wren's concerns about Brielle. He was near desperate to touch her, yes, but he hungered for her to touch him nearly as much, and every article of clothing he wore was simply an obstacle preventing him from having it. In comparison, her dress bared far more skin, and he certainly didn't take what was offered foregranted.
His hands slid up her thighs, fingers splayed, roaming over her hips and along her back, the expanse of skin her dress didn't cover. The way she shoved at his suit jacket registered fuzzily, past the haze of want and the taste of her mouth beneath his, but he made no move to shrug it off himself, not yet. When she licked past his lips he let out a quiet groan and pressed forward, wanting more, even though nothing would ever really be enough. He could spend the rest of his life with her and still never stop wanting this, her, what had driven him to the edge of insanity during the past five years when he'd been forced to exist without it. "I want you," he breathed, a low, throaty whisper as he reluctantly pulled his hands back in order to discard the jacket she seemed so determined to get out of the way. "I want to touch you, and I want to taste you, and I want to be inside you." The boy he'd once been would never have been able to say such things, not without turning red and stammering his way through it, but he wasn't that boy anymore, and the only heat he felt came from the feel of her body against his.
"I want all of you, always," he added, the words muffled against her mouth as he began to slide the straps of her dress down over her shoulders.
