He stroked his free hand down the front of her body, then around her backside, squeezing one firm cheek over the fine eave of her skirt When she parted her lips on an indrawn breath, he took herhis fingers into the cleft of her ass

"Miss Gates, please respond," the guard in the lobby insisted now

"Oh, God," she moaned "Oh, God … I’ve never, not like this … Nathan, I can’t hold on any longer …"

Her body quaked with release as Nathan stroked her deeper, harder She uttered so raw and wordless in the instant she shattered, her pale blond hair tossing around her shoulders as she was caught up in a powerful climax

Nathan watched her splinter in wave after wave of pleasure, unable to curb the satisfied curve of his lips for knowing that she came for him Her first time, by her own breathless ade to show her many other firsts, each one more wicked than the next

"Miss Gates, since I can’t be assured of your well-being, I’ the elevator back down to the lobby--"

"Shit," she gasped, panic instantly replacing pleasure on her pretty face "Let o, Nathan" When he didn’t io!"

"Elliott" Jordana practically squeaked the vampire’s name

He lifted his head at once, worry etched deeply into his face as he stood up to greet her "Jordana, thank God I--" His eyes narrowed the instant he spotted Nathan behind her Disapproval and suspicion ate away his look of concern
