Chapter 35 Complete Devotion 1
Hazel’s POV
When we reached his bedroom, Liam set me gently on the hardwood floor and drew me close his mouth finding mine in a kiss that stole my breath. Electric currents raced through my body as our lips moved together. His tongue swept into my mouth with confident hunger, carrying the rich taste of the espresso we had shared after dinner. Every nerve ending came alive under
his touch.
His strong hands settled on my waist, creating a protective circle around me that made me feel both treasured and desired. When he finally pulled back, Liam pressed his forehead against mine, his eyes closing as he spoke in a voice rough with emotion.
“Beautiful Hazel, I cannot begin to explain what has been happening to me since the moment you walked into
my life. There is this burning inside me that refuses to be extinguished, this desperate need to have you near me every single moment. I cannot stop myself from wanting to touch you, from needing to claim every part of you. I want you, Hazel. I want you with an intensity that frightens me. Tell me what you need from me.
His eyes opened then, revealing that mesmerizing violet–blue gaze that had captured me from our first meeting. Those eyes seemed to see straight through to my soul, leaving me defenseless and aching for everything he could give me.
“Liam, every part of me belongs to you already. Your eyes enslaved me from that very first glance, and your touch made me surrender completely. All I want is to be here in your arms and feel you make me completely yours.”
“Hazel, you
are going to be the death of me. I have no defenses left when it comes to you.”
His voice wrapped around me like velvet, sending waves of heat through my entire body.
He began trailing kisses along the sensitive skin of my neck, then slowly turned me around. His fingers found the zipper of my dress, pulling it down with deliberate slowness that made my skin tingle in anticipation. He cased the straps from my shoulders, and the silk fabric pooled at my feet like water. Only my bra remained, since he had already destroyed my underwear hours. earlier in his passionate urgency. His skilled fingers unhooked the delicate lace, sliding it away while his lips continued their worship of my neck, murmuring praise about how perfect I was.
Fire raced through my veins. He turned me slowly to face him again, and I watched his breath catch as his gaze traveled over every curve and line of my exposed body.
“At last, I can see all of you. You are absolutely magnificent, Hazel.”
His smile was pure male appreciation as he cupped my face in his hands and claimed my mouth

once more. When we broke apart, I gave him a smile filled with feminine power.
“My turn now.”
He returned my smile with one of his own, spreading his arms wide in invitation.
“I am entirely at your mercy. Do with me whatever you desire.”
He looked devastating in that navy dress shirt with the sleeves pushed up his muscled forearms, paired with dark jeans that hugged his body perfectly. Meeting his heated gaze, I began working the buttons of his shirt with torturous slowness, letting my fingertips graze his chest with each one I freed.
“You have been driving me to madness with these innocent touches all evening,” he said as I reached the button near his waistband.
smiled wickedly and pressed a soft kiss to his firm abdomen. After freeing the last button, I pushed the shirt from his broad shoulders, my hands exploring the sculpted muscle beneath warm skin. I walked slowly around him, taking my time to appreciate every magnificent inch of this man who had turned my world upside down. Stopping behind him, I wrapped my arms around his torso, running my palms across the hard planes of his chest before sliding them down to the waistband of his jeans.
His breathing became uneven, and I felt his skin respond to my touch with delicious sensitivity. The knowledge that I could affect this powerful man so completely filled me with intoxicating
confidence.
I unfastened his jeans and pushed them down his hips, then knelt before him to remove his shoes and the denim that pooled around his ankles. Rising slowly, I hooked my fingers in the waistband of his boxer briefs and pulled them down while maintaining eye contact, freeing his impressive arousal that stood proud and ready for me. The sight made my mouth water with anticipation.
“You have already had your taste of me,” I said, my voice husky with desire. “Now I want mine.”
I leaned forward and touched my tongue to the drop of moisture at his tip, earning a deep groan that sent satisfaction racing through me.
