scorching tongue. He cherished the skin of her chest with kisses and gentle little nips, and when he ran his tongue along the edge of the cup, she arched up into him. He hadn’t even hit her most sensitive areas yet and already she was ready to burst. His male chuckle of satisfaction soaked into her, making her heart drum, and her thighs vibrate.
    Dahlia realized she had no idea what she had gotten herself into.
    Garrett slid the cup down to expose her breast. She watched with fascination as his lips covered the areola, her nipple disappearing into his mouth. It was as if she had been swallowed by fire, his mouth burning. He suckled at her boobs for a long while, switching every now and then, and generally leaving her a puddle on the bed. Her pussy thumped with need, and she tightened her legs around his hips.
    “Savor… this,” he muttered, planting sweet kisses on the underside of her breast. “No rush.”
    She nodded in agreement, her throat feeling parched. All her senses tuned into his mouth and the way it worked across her body. From the lightest of kisses against her ribs, to the fleeting graze of his tongue across her navel, every move was designed to push her to the edge, and she was willing to march right up to that cliff. He tugged at her jeans, and slid them off her legs. Craning her neck to watch him, she gaped at the sight of Garrett pulling at the edge of her panties with his teeth, the scarlet fabric threatening to tear.
    He made a feral sound, and she thought he might rip through them. Wrapping his bulging arms around her thighs, he rubbed his cheek against her lower stomach, his scruff downy. “Tell me you wore this for me.”
    Dahlia hissed as he ran a single finger down the thin slip of silk that covered her pussy.
    “Please,” he begged, his tone saturated with a need she didn’t understand. “Did you wear this lingerie because you thought it would please me?”
    How could she deny him such a simple thing? She realized she was still hesitant about having sex with him, but not because of the whole shape-changer thing. Her source of hesitation stemmed from the assumption that a man like this couldn’t possibly find a woman like her attractive. Cursing her ex’s name, she pushed those thoughts away and focused on Garrett. He is here. He said he finds me attractive…
    “Yes,” Dahlia croaked. “I wore them for you. I hoped we might… that you wanted to…”
    He let loose a slow, deep growl that spread out to fill the room, and she shivered from the ferocity that glowed in his eyes. He tucked his fingers in the band of her panties and pushed them down her thighs. She obliged, wiggling her hips—she was glad he hadn’t decided to shred her best pair of underwear.
    Tossing the panties aside, Garrett stood over her, his eyes scanning her body. His close introspection made her feel self-conscious, but he seemed to like what he saw, his throat shifting hard and his eyes hooding. As if she could miss the massive erection pressing against his jogging shorts, though? “Jesus… You are beautiful. I love the way your eyes challenge me, and how your tits shift as you breathe. And the feeling of your thighs squeezing me… you are heaven if there ever was such a place, Dahlia.”
    Biting her lip, the praise went right to her heart. Her ex had never told her that before… Come to think of it, no man had expressively describe what they found so appealing about her.
    Garrett collapsed before her, and parted her thighs with his massive shoulders. “Don’t hide yourself from me,” he said then pressed a kiss to her inner thigh. “I want to see all of you. Every intimate inch.”
    She forced herself to relax, his mouth so close to where she needed it, drove her crazy. Only one man had ever given her oral, and she’d been too self-aware to relax and enjoy it. But with Garrett, she believed him when he said he found her beautiful.
    “That’s right, Dahlia. Open for me, and let me serve you. Let me
