I expected the usual slam bam without even a "thank you, ass down, and I was lost

"Come" He took my hand; he pulled me across the floor

I followed obediently, drunk on the taste of his ured ere headed for the couch and that was fine with me, yet when I hesitated halfway across the rooht Tonight we do this right"

We hadn’t been doing it right? Could have fooled ave uy who bothered Then again, froht white sheets, maybe he couldn’t help himself

Just like I couldn’t help myself Certainly I’d proved he wasn’t an evil soulless beast or the walking undead But even if he had been, could I have resisted him? I wasn’t sure

He clio of my hand Did he think I’d run if he released et far

Even as a man, he could catch me Especially since I’d let him

The ripple of muscle across his abdomen was accented by the line of his pants Not a centi out, I traced e, and his skin fluttered beneath ainst my lips, push aside the button, the zipper, and lay clai hiuy wouldn’t appreciate a blow job apology?

His slacks orn soft frole button popped free with very little encourageh slitted, lazy eyes, though the hardened length of his body revealed a coiled tension, the tangle of his hair hinted at a certain wildness

The rued it down seemed to fill the room, electrify the air He continued to watch me without a word or a h so I could slide the pants down No underwear lay beneath, only skin

I wanted to learn every line and every curve Since he didn’t appear to be going anywhere, I indulged s, just enough to e theh the curls, up the inside of his thighs, and he quivered How far could I go before he lost control?

My hands roved higher, thu beca me to touch him I couldn’t deny a need I felt so deeply myself

I loweredhis pelvis,him think, Yes, maybe, now, before I pressed ue circle his navel, then trace a moist path doard

My breasts cradled his erection His pulse beat in tie, such that it was, si the intimate act I lowered my head and licked him just once

His body leaped in response Eyes closed, hehis face The man enjoyed sex With him, I enjoyed it, too

Not that I hadn’t before, but when love is involved the act is ue There was so to be said about sex for the sake of sex

My nipples tightened, hardening as they brushed his upper thighs The rhythh me I wanted to lift my body over his, take him deep within I wanted to ride hi

But not yet

I inched doard and he letover led in my hair as I took hiuiding, encouraging, urgingwhile His control was downright impressive It became a battle of wills; ould surrender first, him or me? I didn’t plan to lose I wouldn’t

My tongue did things I’d only iined I used my teeth where I’d never used them before Still he didn’t coers through rasped hith, folloith htened

His face was set, his eyes brighter, lighter than I reaze, I licked hi hirew, so close to erupting Frantic, I rode hi hi him free

"No," he le, roaned I blew on the chilly daue, and his eyes fluttered closed

"Please what?"

I closed my teeth over his tip, scored the skin just a little His eyes shot open I expected so ever been as I expected with him?

"Take me inside, cher I want to feel your body all around me"

I frowned at the request, too personal, too revealing I was tempted to finish him off despite any protest He was too close; a fewbut coh oral sex could be ht noasn’t There was a distance between us, a distance I wanted to keep Why was he trying to breach it?

His hand still tangled in my hair, his thumb stroked my cheek My eyes burned, and ood idea

In spite of that, I was captured by his gaze, co words in French that I didn’t understand

I did as he wanted, because I wanted it, too, surrounding hiether as if we’d done this a thousand times The advance, the retreat, so new and yet so fa ht, hold hirasp hio

"Look at me," he ordered

I didn’t want to If I didn’t see his face, he wasn’t a ood one

Disgusted withmyself Who was that woman? Could she be me?

"You don’t think of hi, not even when he arched his back and touched me more deeply than ever before

"Say it," he whispered "Say it, or I won’t make you come"

Even if I could have spoken, I didn’t knohat he wanted He stopped an so se, so near, I wasn’t sure if the spasms were him at first or ether, co apart

I collapsed on his chest; he ran his hand up my back The world returned, and he was still inside me I was draped all over hian to play with the fleur-de-lis chain at my waist

"What did you want me to say?" I asked

"My name That’s all"

I lifted ether "Why?"
