Malachi groaned against her mouth when she said she'd wanted him all night. "You should have. I'm sure everyone would have understood," he said before he resumed the kiss. His hand crept upward, sliding a finger inside her and finding the nerves that he started to circle. He could feel her getting there, but she wasn't quite there yet. Slowly he began to edge her while kissing her toward the bed, hoping she'd get the hint to lay down without him breaking the heated kiss.
