up and around her waist. She was still unbelievably aroused, and just rolling her stockings down her legs became an act of pure torture. When she was finally naked, she glanced at herself in the mirror and barely recognized the woman staring back at her.
    Her eyes were luminous, her skin rosy, and her lips were swollen from Tucker’s kisses. With her short brown hair mussed up, she looked a little wild and certainly like a woman who’d been well pleasured. It was only when she looked a little lower that she noticed the little strings of jewels hanging from her nipples. She’d become so used to the small adornments she’d forgotten she was wearing them.
    She carefully removed them, taking the time to examine them more closely. They were beautiful. The strands of multicolored stones set into silver appeared small in her hands, and looking at them like this, it was amazing to think about how much pleasure they’d given her. She’d been startled and absurdly pleased when Tucker had told her he’d bought them for her. She wondered where he’d purchased them. Certainly nowhere around here. He’d probably found them online. She placed them safely on the countertop before she stepped into the shower.
    The cool spray pummeled her heated flesh and washed away all signs of her orgasm. When she started to feel human again, she grabbed her shower gel and soaped herself from head to toe before rinsing off. Washing between her legs was pure agony, as she was still unbelievably aroused. Not wanting to linger any longer than necessary, she turned off the taps and stepped out onto the bath mat. She quickly dried off and then hung the damp towel over the rod before heading to the bedroom to dress.
    The air was warm, as the power outage had shut down the air-conditioning. Even in the short length of time it had been off, the extreme heat had started to take control. Naked, she strolled across her bedroom and went straight to her dresser. She opened her lingerie drawer, grabbed a pair of panties and tugged them on. Next she dug out her favorite denim shorts and paired them with a halter top, not bothering with a bra.
    Her breasts were fairly substantial and she usually wore a bra to work. It almost seemed prophetic in some way that she hadn’t worn one today because of the unbearable heat. But around the house, you couldn’t pay her to wear one. Besides, who was going to see?
    Emma detoured to the kitchen and poured herself a large glass of lemonade before settling into the comfortable chair right in front of the air-conditioning unit. She grabbed her e-reader and clicked on the new book she’d downloaded, determined to put today’s incident totally out of her mind.
    She didn’t know how long she’d been reading when she noticed the lack of cold air blowing on her parched skin. It was only then she noted the absence of noise. She’d been lost in the latest erotic romance by Ms. Lillian, one of her new favorite authors.
    It had been a mistake to start the book today, as the provocative love scenes only conjured images of Tucker and her in the elevator, but she’d desperately forged ahead, attempting to block all thoughts of him from her mind. She’d managed for brief moments, but even the compelling story couldn’t get her mind off Tucker for long. She turned off her e-reader and set it on the small table beside her.
    The silence was so complete that she knew the power had gone out again, at least in this building. “Great,” she muttered as she heaved herself out of her chair.
    She strolled to the kitchen, opened her freezer door and dumped the last two ice cubes from the tray into her glass. She’d meant to fill up the trays when she’d poured her drink earlier but had gotten distracted. If the electricity was out for long, she’d have to venture outside in search of ice.
    She went to the living room window, opened it and glanced outside. It was still light outside, so she couldn’t tell if other buildings had lost their
