He smoothed his hands up and down her back until her ave in and kissed the underside of one breast She curled her fingers, and her nails pricked his skin

Pulling back, he asked, "Are you okay, Stella?"

She cleared her throat twice "Tellto suck on your pretty nipples and lick thehtened on his shoulders "That was a bit "

"Hoould you have said it?" He ran his mouth from the underside of her breast up to the place where pale skin gave way to dark areola

"I don’t knohat--"

He covered her nipple with his mouth and sucked hard

"Michael"

The sound of his na from her lips was just as unexpected as it was hot He pulled her closer so he could feast on her No man could stay sane with tits like this in his face, in his ue He could play with these for days Relinquishing one, he licked his way to the second

She worked her fingers blindly through his hair, twisted and arched her back with unconscious deenius , he dragged his lips up her throat, along her jaw, back toward her ht hiether as he mentally shook himself He was seriously fucked up She’d said she didn’t want it, and he kept--

Their lips touched He stiffened from the electric shock of it She stroked his bottoue, and his instincts took over He claimed her mouth like a starved man

Her taste, her softness, her nails on his scalp, kiss after kiss after kiss

"I’ain "But I couldn’t resist I thought about kissing you all week" Her words sank into hi kiss "And now, I can’t see sound huain

"Then don’t stop"

Michael twined his tongue with hers, and her body went soft in his are beneath his fly and scraped her nipples over his chest He bit back a groan He hadn’t wanted a woman like this inHad he ever wanted a woman like this?

When he drew back, her lips were parted on soundless gasps of desire It took a h to focus on him, and he expected her to turn around and check another box off her list Instead, she wrapped her ar hi sense of being cherished spread through hi like what happened between the like it , like she cared, maybe even about him

Another hotel rooular Friday night Only he’d never felt so exposed, so raw, and he still wore his godda There wasn’t supposed to be any caring He couldn’t keep doing this if he cared Caring would turn the escorting into cheating, and he refused to cheat Tiet down to business

Michael’s weight settled between Stella’s legs Icy coldness dug into her belly, jolting her back to reality Metal His belt buckle

They’d fallen off track What were they supposed to be doing? She called up the list in her head Hand jobs It was time to learn hand jobs

He trailed kisses to her neck, leaving her , but by that time, she couldn’t remember what she’d been about to say His teeth scraped her skin, and shivers cascaded over her body Her nipples tightened to the point of hurting, but warue at one tip before he drew on her again, h hand skated down her stomach and slipped beneath the waistband of her panties Clever fingers caressed her with bold strokes He was touching her there Right where she needed hih she hadn’t known it Men had touched her before, but it hadn’t felt like this She only responded like this when she was alone, and never with this intensity

"Stella, you’re drenched" With each syllable, his lips grazed her stiff nipple A hot exhalation gusted over her hungry flesh before he closed his teeth around her and bit with care

Her body clenched hard, clenched even harder when he pressed a finger deep, filling her He ed her with lazy swirls of his thu He licked her tortured nipple back into the heat of his mouth, and that was all it took She climbed quick and sharp toward release
