Page 31 of Competing Against Thor

He stepped closer, backing me against the wall. I let out a gasp, loving how it felt to be caged here by him. He leaned in and gave me a searing kiss that I could feel ineverypart of my body. I gave myself over to the way it felt, especially when he broke the kiss and moved to brush his lips over my throat. I tipped my head back and let out a small moan. He took it as an invitation to continue, which I supposed it was. There was certainly no chance of me stopping myself now, I could already feel the pleasure building within me and the urge to hurry along with it. But I wasn't going to do that. This was a night I wanted to savour.

His hand smoothed down over my hip, each touch making me feel like I was on fire. I wanted more of it, but wasn't able to find the words to actually speak, even though it should have been straightforward for me to do. His hand trailed inwards and I parted my legs, my breathing coming so shallow that I wasn't able to get any words out.

Thor's fingers found my entrance and I gasped as he inserted first one, and then another. I wasn't sure if it was the way he was doing it, or the unfamiliar angle, but it felt so much better than Iexpected. His thumb grazed against my most sensitive spot and I let out a whimper.

"Tell me what you need," he murmured against my throat.

"There," I mumbled.

He did as I requested and I gasped, not really able to think of anything other than the pleasure he was bringing. I could feel it building inside me and I wasn't even sure what to do with it. All I knew was that I wantedmoreand I needed him to be the one to give it to me.

I swallowed hard, the release so close that I could almost taste it. He didn't let up, and kept the focus on exactly what he was doing until it was too much for me to take. I cried out and my whole body began to shake as the release flooded my senses and became the only thing I could think about.

I leaned forward and rested my head against his chest, the thoughts slowly coming back to me.

"Are you okay?" Thor asked.

"Oh yeah," I responded. "Please tell me you have a condom stashed here somewhere?"

He nodded and stepped away. I almost regretted the fact that he was gone, though he was back within a moment, the towel around his waist gone and the condom firmly in place.

I swallowed hard, not fully believing that this was happening and wasn't just part of my imagination.

He reached out and cupped my cheek in his hand before leaning in and kissing me surprisingly sweetly given the circumstances. I deepened the kiss, letting him know how much I wanted this. How much I wantedhim.

"You should wrap your legs around me," he murmured against my lips.

My eyes widened. "You're going to lift me?" The words came out breathier than I intended them to thanks to the surge of desire they caused. I'd thought about how easy it would be forhim to lift me several times, and now that was exactly what he intended to do. Heat filled me along with the need for more of everything.

"Yes."

"Okay." I slipped my arms around his neck as his hands went around me, hoisting me up so that I could wrap my legs around him. The evidence of how much he wanted this bumped up against my entrance and I let out a small whimper in response.

I slid one of my hands down his chest until it was between us and took him in my hand so I could guide him to my entrance. He didn't seem to be having any problems holding me up, which shouldn't be a surprise with how well-defined his muscles were, and the strength in his arms was something I'd witnessed while working in the studio.

Those thoughts fled as the pleasure began to build again. I leaned back against the wall, causing him to groan in response. I slipped my hand between us so I could bring myself to another release, knowing that this wasn't going to be quite enough by itself.

I lost myself in the way it felt for our bodies to move against one another. The second release crashed over me just as Thor found his own, and it almost felt as if my magic was also responding, but that was unlikely. It was just the intensity of how it felt to be with someone new, especially after the amount of build-up we'd shared.

He carried me over to the bed and laid me down, coming to join me so that I could rest my head on his shoulder. I let out a shaky breath and trailed my fingers over his chest. He surprised me with a kiss on the forehead, the gesture feeling surprisingly tender considering what we'd just shared.

But that was probably because I could tell that this wasn't going to be the last time I fell asleep in his arms.

Chapter 16

THOR

I looked over at where Daisy was putting the final touches to the woodpecker for our tree. Her face was screwed up in concentration, and I could tell she was trying to make sure that every detail was perfect.

Watching her work was almost as good as watching her fall apart in my arms, something I very much hoped I could convince her to do again. Which might not take much doing considering that she'd stayed the entire night at my hotel. We were lucky that we'd been asked to wear the same clothes today as we did yesterday, so no one was going to question where she'd spent the night.

She looked up and met my gaze. "Everything okay?"

I nodded. "Sorry, I just got distracted."

She checked around to make sure there were no cameras on us. "Me too. I keep thinking about last night."

"I don't want to be too much of a distraction."
