imagination worked overtime, wondering what she wore underneath, if anything.
She’d worn her hair down, and the golden strands teased the fine angles of her face. Her dusky complexion and shiny red lips mesmerized him, as did her gaze. Her eyes looked mysteriously deep, enhanced by the makeup that turned her from the beautiful girl next door to a siren who must have cast a spell over his entire body, heart and soul.
She smiled at him. “Nice threads, Goode.” After walking inside, she paused when he shut the door behind her, then traced a hand over his chest. “Oh, so soft.”
“I liked the way it felt when I put it on.” His entire body sizzled from where Faith had touched him. Christ, but he felt her all the way to his cock, which now refused to stand down. “You going to show me what’s under the coat?”
She shook her head. “Not until we get a few things straight.” To his shock, she stroked down his chest to his pants and gripped him tight. “You’re big, Brian.”
“ Shit. A little warning next time.” He tried to pretend he wasn’t putty in her hands.
“Here’s your warning. I want what happens tonight to stay between us.” She let him go, and everything in him protested.
“Of course.” Did she think he planned to run out and tell all his friends?
“No matter what you or I want, there will be no judgments.” Her cheeks colored.
His heart warmed at the subtle show of vulnerability. As much as he wanted to take her, he wanted to protect her as well. “I promise.” He took her hand in his and lifted it to his lips. Then he pressed a kiss to the middle of her palm. “Just you and me, Faith. No lies, no games. What we both want.” I want to learn all about you, exactly what makes you tick.
“Okay then.” She took a deep breath and let it out slowly as she tugged her hand free.
He stepped back, watching as she unbuttoned her way down the coat. Once finished, she unbelted it and let the coat fall from her shoulders to pool on the floor.
He stood there, staring.
The woman wore a black corset, held together in the front with a row of clips, that plumped up her already sizable breasts and made her waist look even smaller. A pair of red panties trimmed with black lace barely covered her mound, and from what he could tell didn’t cover much of her ass either. The heels made her legs look that much longer, adding height that put her an inch or two shorter than him. The perfect height for a kiss.
“You like?” she asked and licked her ruby-red lips.
He said nothing for a moment, wanting to find the right words. When she frowned, no longer showing that hint of vulnerability, he let her see his appreciation with a large grin. “You’re planning to make me suffer tonight. Long, slow torture with your amazing, incredible body.” He sighed. “Please, punish me. All night long.”
She laughed, easing the tension in her frame. “I can’t believe we’re really here doing this. I mean, I still can’t believe this place exists.”
He nodded. “Let me give you the express tour.” He put an arm around her and heard her sharp intake of breath. Delighted their attraction continued to deepen, he led her around, showing her all the fun they could have. “Toys, treats, anything you want, Faith.” He took her into the attached bath, where a deep whirlpool tub and shower promised fun in the water.
They returned to the main room and stopped in front of the fire. She toyed with the buttons of his shirt, releasing each one until she’d parted it to stroke his chest. She lingered over his hard nipples, and her nails scored trails of heat down his abdomen.
“Anything?” she whispered and leaned up to kiss him.
“Anything,” he said, his voice a deep rumble. “I want you to share yourself with me. I don’t just want pieces. I want all of you.” He meant it. He wanted all of her, which meant removing the emotional distance she tried to keep between them.
