Must Be Love: (Nicole and Ryan) (A Jetty Beach Romance Book 1) by Claire Kingsley Page A

words more than once. Nicole's presence in my studio calls to me like a siren's song. I’m entranced.
    I've never taken my coaxing quite that far with a client before. Every word was what I want to do to Nicole. Still, I made myself hold back, images flashing through my mind that I didn't dare give voice to. It worked better than I could have imagined. Joanne was as pliable as soft clay, doing everything I asked of her. She dropped her inhibitions and showed me the side of herself I knew was there. And I captured it all.
    But all I can think about is Nicole.
    Nicole literally doesn’t move while I usher Joanne outside, her eyes locked on the floor in front of her. Did I scare her? Repulse her? Not everyone will understand what I do. They’ll see it as inappropriate, or like I’m taking advantage of my clients. All I want is to bring out their inner passion. To stoke the flame that every woman carries, and help them remember they are desirable.
    "Nicole."
    I let her name hang in the air. Nicole breaths hard. Her scent tickles my nose and I move closer, afraid I might scare her away.
    "Look at me."
    She turns her head toward me, her eyes blinking slowly, her lips open. Her face is deliciously flushed. I want her so bad it sends shockwaves through my limbs. My cock throbs. I take a few more steps, holding her eyes with mine.
    Nicole's tongue darts out to lick her lips. Fuck me. Should I do it? Should I pounce before she gets away? I stalk her, moving like a cat on the hunt, easing my way closer.
    I stop mere inches away. My breath comes fast, and my eyes devour her. She’s so close, I can feel her body heat, tempting me. She’s tantalizing. Her collarbone stands out with each breath, her breasts straining against her dress. I should go slowly. Soft and sweet for Nicole. I hesitate, holding myself in check, stretching out the agony.
    Until she bites her lower lip. Then I’m done for.
    I surge in, grabbing the back of her neck, and pull her mouth to mine. Her body melts against me, her hands slipping around my waist. I suck her lower lip into my mouth and let my bottom teeth drag across it—not so hard that it hurts, but enough that she gasps. I moan as she presses into me, rubbing her body against my swollen cock, and let her lip go.
    "Ryan."
    She says my name and grabs my cock through my pants. Why are we wearing these fucking clothes?
    "Oh my god, Nicole, I need you. I fucking need to be inside you right now."
    Breathlessly, she nods. I yank her sweater off and let it fall to the floor. We back up toward the couch, pulling our clothes off like they’re on fire. I grab her, pulling her close, and rub my hands down her back. Her breasts press into me and her skin against mine is amazing. I bury my face in her neck, her scent filling me. Grabbing her ass, I squeeze, pushing my cock against her.
    Nicole groans. "I want your cock in me, Ryan. I want it now."
    Her voice centers me. I could throw her down on the couch and pound her until I come. But this is Nicole Prescott. I never dreamed I'd have her naked in my studio, begging me to fuck her. This is not something I can rush.
    I push the pillows aside and lay her down on the couch. Instead of climbing on top of her, I get on my knees and push her legs apart. She’s almost bare, just a sexy as hell triangle left in front. Fuck me, that’s hot. I slide my hands down her thighs and she tilts her hips up.
    "Don't make me wait," she says.
    I lean in and trail my hand down, feeling the soft folds of skin. "You're already so wet." I tease my fingers up and down, exploring. She shivers and moans, but when her fingers dig into the cushions and her back arches, I know I found the right spot. I push two fingers inside her and massage her clit with my thumb.
    "Oh god, Ryan."
    I circle my thumb around her clit, varying the pressure, learning. "Does this feel good?"
    "I love it."
    "This?" I press harder.
    Her mouth opens and she moans again. I love that sound. It makes me want to drive
