Chapter 185

• I stood there, frozen in place, feeling the overwhelming surge of sparks that came with every single touch. Each gentle caress, every glide of Ethan's hands across my bare skin, sent shivers through me. His touch was electrifying, like waves of warm electricity pulsing through my veins, and my body responded eagerly to his every movement. He knew exactly how to touch me to bring my nerves to life, and the intensity of it made me feel like I was vibrating from the inside out. I could barely breathe with the anticipation of what would come next.
• He started by wrapping his hands gently around my waist, fingers splayed wide, and began to trace slow, deliberate circles around my stomach. It felt like he was memorizing every inch of me. His hands traveled upward, brushing the undersides of my breasts before cupping them fully, thumbs grazing over my nipples and causing a gasp to escape my lips. The contrast between the firmness of his grip and the softness of his touch was almost unbearable. I was trembling, even as he moved one hand downward again, easing his way lower and lower, dragging every second out as though time itself had slowed down for us.
• When he finally reached between my legs, he started with slow, calculated strokes, rubbing my opening with just enough pressure to make my knees weak. His fingers found my clit and began to move in tight, precise circles, softly at first, almost teasing. The sensation was both gentle and maddening, just enough to make me ache with the need for more. My head fell back, pressing further into his chest behind me, and I felt like I was melting into him. I reached back and wrapped one arm around his neck, needing the contact, needing him closer. He responded by pressing his hips tighter against me, and I could feel the hard length of his erection, straining and urgent.
