Chapter 145 Tonight
JASMINE
The dress wasn't the kind of thing you'd usually wear on a simple dinner date. It was the type of gown you admired from afar, knowing most people could never pull it off.
The rich, deep red satin hugged my body like a second skin, the luxurious fabric cool and smooth against every curve. The daring one shoulder design left one shoulder completely bare, while a dramatic, flowing cape-like sleeve cascaded from the other shoulder, adding movement and elegance with every step.
The ruched detailing at the waist accentuated my figure beautifully, and a seductive slit ran up one side, revealing just enough leg as I moved. Diamond stud earrings sparkled in my ears, and a delicate teardrop necklace rested against my chest.
My chestnut hair fell in soft waves over my shoulders, the light highlights catching the light beautifully. A few loose strands brushed teasingly against my bare skin.
"Yours," I whispered, the word feeling like a quiet promise. I rose onto my tiptoes and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek, pulling back with a cheeky smile playing on my lips.
He tucked a few more strands of hair behind my shoulder, deliberately leaving some skin deliciously exposed. "Honestly, tesoro, you look like a piece of art. My own personal dose of heaven. My salvation… all mine." He leaned down and placed a lingering kiss on the tip of my nose, making me scrunch it up and giggle.
His greedy hands slid lower, grabbing a handful of my backside and making me gasp. "God, baby, you look so damn sexy in this dress. Don't worry." He tilted my chin up with his fingers. "I don't care if you don't think you're pretty. To me, you're the epitome of beauty."
My heart skipped several beats. The depth of honesty and pure endearment in his eyes almost made my knees give out. He really saw me that way. I looked away, trying and failing to hide the blush creeping across my cheeks. He chuckled softly and leaned in, covering my face with gentle kisses until my skin felt like it was on fire.
"I want to kiss you so badly right now," he breathed, his voice thick with desire as his gaze dropped to my lips. "But if I start, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk afterward."
I cupped his face with both hands, letting my fingers trace the sharp line of his jaw and run over the rough stubble there. He looked incredible tonight all in black. The fitted black t-shirt clung to his muscular chest, the first three buttons undone to reveal a hint of his toned, tanned, and tattooed skin.
His tailored suit trousers and expensive Italian dress shoes completed the look. Without the jacket, he seemed even more powerful and commanding. Deliciously so.
"What if I don't want to walk?" I asked, looking up at him with a seductive gaze while my hands slowly slid down the broad expanse of his chest.
"Fuck, baby," he groaned, his eyes darkening as he stared down at me. "You're making me lose control, tesoro. You won't like the sinful things I'd do if you keep looking at me like that." His hand trailed slowly down the open curve of my back, leaving goosebumps in its wake.
I let out a shaky breath and fisted his shirt. "Sinful things?" I asked, pretending to be innocent. My fingers toyed with his buttons as I glanced up at him. His gaze was locked on my hands. "Like what?"
"Let me show you," he whispered huskily into my ear, sending another shiver racing down my spine.
Before I could respond, a soft, pleasured sound escaped my lips. His hands gripped my backside firmly as he dipped his head to my neck, trailing hot, open-mouthed kisses from the nape down to my shoulder.
I threw my head back, giving him more access. My breathing grew heavy as I tried to stifle my moans, biting down hard on my lower lip. The way his full lips moved across my skin, claiming every inch, made my heart race with excitement.
My core throbbed with arousal as I clutched his broad shoulders, my nails digging into his shirt.
His tongue running his tongue along my collarbone and making me shudder. "So fucking sweet."
He brought his face close to mine again. Our heavy breaths mingled as he captured my lips in a deep kiss. His tongue traced my bottom lip before gently sucking it into his mouth.
I gasped, and he took the opportunity to slip his tongue inside, tasting me thoroughly. One hand held the back of my neck, deepening the kiss while his tongue moved against mine in slow, sensual strokes that drew a low groan from his chest.
He pulled back slightly, still sucking on my lip. "Such a sweet baby girl," he cooed, his fingers tracing the curve of my breasts and making me squirm with approval.
In the next breath, my back was pressed against the wall. Damon's large frame completely overshadowed mine as he pinned my wrists above my head with one strong hand. The dark, hungry look in his eyes made my pulse thunder.
"Fuck the dinner," he growled, his gaze devouring every inch of me. "I want to rip this dress right off your sexy body and devour you." He bit his lower lip, eyes burning into my skin. "I want to run my tongue deep into your sweet pussy, sucking until you come all over my face… over and over again."
My core throbbed painfully at his filthy words. Heat flooded my body as I imagined him doing exactly that. My hands itched to touch him, to feel his hard muscles under my palms, to have that stubble scratching between my thighs.
"I want to thrust so deep inside you that I fertilize your eggs," he continued, his voice rough with need. "And I will… but not tonight." He pulled back slightly, inhaling sharply. "The best things take time, and I plan to take all the time I want. When I finally fuck you, baby, you'll be begging me to keep going all night long."
