IT WASA GOOD THING she already thought he was a clumsy oaf, for he was beyond finesse, beyond conscious thought, driven only byneed.
For the second time in their short relationship, he hoisted her into his arms and for the second time she shivered in reaction. He strode to his bedroom, kicked the door open and deposited her on her back on thebed.
He kneeled over her, enjoying her rapid breathing, dazed eyes and swollen lips. “Time for chapterseven.”
She moaned and he had a feelingchapter sevenwould forever be part of their vocabulary. A personal lovers’ code. The wordforeverflashed and danced across his brain before he banished it and prepared to enjoy one very hotwoman.
She was fully dressed, but his urgency was too great to mess around with undressing her. For now, he only needed one part of her naked. He hiked up her skirt in one jerk, flipping it right up over herhips.
Her eyes darkened and she raised her hands over her head as though to reach for something to anchor her.Not going towork.
He nudged her legs apart and dropped his gaze, only to find himself groaning. “Oh, Shari. What have youdone?”
“Surprise.” The word seemed a struggle for her. Her hips were starting to twitch with the wanting, but he had to pause for a moment and enjoy the sight of old-fashioned stockings that stopped at midthigh. Her lacy garter belt and panties were bright, in-your-face purple. He touched the creamy skin of her upper thighs and her breath hitched. No. He couldn’t go slowly. He wanted to, but he couldn’t. Maybe later. For now he had to see her, touch her, tasteher.
His hands shook as he slipped off the panties. If she noticed she’d put it down to nerves, when, in fact, it was desire, stronger than any he’d ever experienced, that rockedhim.
He trailed her silk panties down her legs and, to please himself, let them hang from one of her strappy high heels. He liked the picture she made, he definitely liked it. Her eyes were closed and she was in someplace all herown.
He smiled as he moved to kneel between her thighs. Knowing he’d teased them both enough, he parted her, found her moist and pink, her obvious arousal sending the need to have her straight to his groin. He was never selfish with women, but this one had him almost mindless with the most basic urge to take andmate.
But the urge to pleasure her was just asstrong.
Remembering what she’d told him, even though he’d only asked to tease, he followed her instructions, beginning with a light delicate touch that had her opening for him like a bud to sunshine, exposing her glossy pink clit. He gave it a light flicking with his tongue and felt it quiver andharden.
Even the most ignorant novice could tell this lady was close to exploding. Deciding he’d have lots of time to toy with her later, he changed to firmer sweeping tongue strokes and pretty much had to hold her hips in both hands to keep her earthbound. She progressed rapidly from panting to moaning. Everything beneath his tongue was getting slicker and plumper, and then, since he was holding her hips in place, her upper body rose as he felt the shudders of climax rockher.
Once, she rose to half sitting and fell back. Twice, and then she sigheddelightfully.
He took a couple of minutes to kiss her thighs and stroke any part of her he could reach, while she slowly floated back to earth. He didn’t let her get her feet on the ground, though, before going back fordessert.
She chuckled and touched her hand to his head as he resumed the soft licking he’d started her with. “No. I couldn’t. Not sosoon.”
In answer, he slipped a finger inside her where the last contractions from her orgasm clasped him like tiny hugs. He pushed a second finger inside, and she sighed and shifted. He probed gently until he found the dense mound of her G-spot and began to massage itlightly.
She gasped.Not ready to go again, huh?He grinned against her soft, moist flesh, and then put his tongue to her. He avoided the clit since it was still probably too sensitive, but he explored all her secret folds and crevices, working with a light touch here, a firmer one there, and gauged her response from her sighs and moans and the way her body once more bloomed forhim.
All the while, he kept massaging the magic spot insideher.
“Oh, that feels so good,” she cried when he returned to her clit, which was once again blushing ineagerness.
He’d only been toying with her about taking her clit right into his mouth, but it seemed like a pretty goodidea.
He triedit.
She likedit.
In fact, she liked it so much she screamed, and he had the pleasure of feeling her pleasure burst inside his mouth like summer-sweet fruit. He stayed with her through the aftershocks and brought her gently back to earth oncemore.
He was only human, and the seat of his own pleasure had been screaming for attention long enough. Rising, he began to strip off his clothes, wanting to be inside her to catch the last of hercontractions.
He was naked in seconds, fumbling for his night table, when she stoppedhim.
“My turn,” shesaid.
With her heavy-lidded eyes, and her hair tangled from thrashing on the pillow, she looked like a well-lovedGypsy.
