She heard a muffled double thud and realized he had dropped to his knees He spread her apart again and she felt his ht, she jaroan she couldn’t lock back Then she hung onto the counter for dear life as his tongue slipped inside her, then retreated and swept across her clit, which had began to throb in delighted abandon

She felt a finger push slowly, gently inside her as his an to suck, occasionally flicking the treue as she sed a sob of purest frustration She had assumed quickies were just that--quick--not drawn-out torture, not being touched with skill and love but unable to touch back, not being able to talk, to beg, to plead…she wanted to pull hiet down on her hands and knees, flip her skirt up over her back and beg him to take her from behind She wanted to take him inside her mouth She wanted to touch every inch of him, she wanted to own his body as he owned hers, she wanted…

His fingers were gone, his hands were on her thighs, spreading theue was inside her again, darting in controlled jabs She cupped her own breasts, squeezed Her head fell back against the wall and she stared blindly at the ceiling She could feel his hands on her thighs, his tongue inside her, darting, flicking, probing…then he was kissing her clit and she was biting her lips bloody so as not to screaasm like a flower felt the sun start to rise and welcomed it But mere seconds fro her teetering and only years of hiding her feelings kept her fro into frustrated tears He sat back on his heels and blew, just puffed soft breaths at her swollen, hot, tender flesh and when he see to spin away froain…his sweet, talented e and leaving her there too hting it, could only hang onto the counter with her eyes closed and her mouth open while he played her body like a virtuoso handled a violin…with skill, with love, with absolute control

A thousand years later, he stood up and she heard thehis belt, pulling his zipper down and ould have thought the sie of heat between her legs? Her eyes had adjusted as e shadow in front of her, now leaning forward and giving her hishi herself He broke the kiss and she heard how his breathing had roughened in the dark until he was nearly panting and wondered if his silence wasn’t so er speak

She felt the tip of hi and even though she didn’t have nearly asfuriously She tried to scoot forward, to iot theher teeth because even now, even noould not relinquish his do to make him pay for this

He stroked his thick tip up and down her slick flesh, never quite dipping inside, soaking hi her breast, hard, pulling at her swollen nipple, running the straining peak through his fingers She gloried in his rough touch, it was exactly what she needed, craved, to offset the delirious ht to life within her Then she felt hioing to come at last, before she realized he’d only slid in an inch…and stopped

Her legs started to co, done with the endless torture, when his hands slapped against the insides of her knees and he held her legs apart He began to rock, shallow strokes that only brought a fraction of his length within her and then out again and she sobbed, she couldn’t hold it back but wept as quietly as she could and he sighed She knew her control troubled hio with him…is that why he had done this? To make her lose herself?

Did he need proof that under her cool exterior she was a hot-blooded woman with very basic needs, needs he was so excellently equipped to h, her soft sobs, his strokes had lengthened, they were long and deep and he let go of her legs so she could cling to his waist His hands slid beneath her buttocks and he pulled her tightly against hiainst his sweat-da touch, now just taking her as she had longed to be taken, in long slick strokes

"It’s all right," he ed softly, his voice so low and thick she could barely understand hi to let you come now And you want to, don’t you, sweetheart?"

She didn’t answer; she didn’t have to Everything clenched within her and suddenly her orgash her, so hard and fast she buried her face against his shoulder and bit back the shriek of relief and ecstasy She could actually feel her uterus contracting, feel the throbbing as blood rushed to the very center of her No sooner had her long-awaited orgash her, she was on a roller coaster of pleasure, cresting one hill only to plunge down another and she could feel hi stop for a rip on her like iron, his face buried in her hair

A longslohile they came back to the planet She felt him kiss her ear and then whisper, "Never, never, never leave me to wake up alone and afraid for you" And then, more softly still, "I love you"

She wept and tried to whisper the words he wanted to hear, words she never thought she would say--or feel--but he see time
