Adam. I … Well, I panicked.”
He covered the tensed hands in her lap with one of his. “Only because I was impatient.”
She shook her head and started to speak, but he stopped her words with a tender kiss.
When he lifted his head, she sighed. “I guess you’ve realized I’ve missed out on a few things in the sex department.”
He resisted smiling at her solemn tone. “You do just fine. Damn fine. And you haven’t missed out on a thing. You just haven’t gotten there yet.”
Her shoulders shook in silent amusement. “Well, I wish I had. Then my reaction wouldn’t have been so juvenile.”
He squeezed her fingers. “What we need here is some experimenting in the proper manner. If you don’t mind, though, since my Trans Am is a bit cramped we’ll skip the heavy petting in the back seat of the car.”
She burst into laughter. “Adam, you can’t be serious!”
“Very. It would be like trying to do

in a taxi.” He smiled at her giggles, then lifted one of her hands to his lips to kiss it. “Now, lesson number one. You always have the right to say no—at any point. I will

stop whenever you want me to. It is important to me that you’re ready, in mind and body, rather than thinking you have to give in. Making love is give and take on both our parts.”
“I’m glad one of us knows what he’s doing, because I don’t.”
He laughed. “Oh, yes, you do. Now lesson number two …”
He placed her hands on his shoulders and, holding her in a loose embrace, very carefully kissed her. After a moment’s hesitation she relaxed, her lips pliant and open for him to deepen the kiss. For long minutes he just kissed her. Soft, sweet kisses, their mouths moving as one with every turn and change. All the while his senses were aware of her growing desire. Her arms tightened around his neck, and she pressed her body morefully against him. He tenderly stroked her back underneath the sweater, each touch feather-light and reassuring. He was gratified when, without breaking the kiss, she shifted her body to allow him access to her breasts.
It was easier this time for him to keep his own desire under control when she moaned as he caressed her diamond-hard nipples. He kissed her cheek, her chin, the soft skin just beneath her jaw, and he could feel the racing pulse underneath. Again he pushed her sweater and bra aside and caressed the satiny globes with reverent lips and tongue until she was clawing helplessly at his shoulders. He nipped lightly at the tender flesh, then took each nipple in his mouth, suckling until she was writhing in his arms. He stroked her shoulders and back and kissed the hollow between her ribs. Ruthlessly, he suppressed his own raging desire. Then, very slowly, he let one hand drift downward, making patterns on her belly, then lower on her thighs.…
“Adam, please,” she whispered, and moved his hand to the junction of her legs.
He raised his head and kissed her well-loved lips. “I will.”
With infinite patience he deftly stroked her through her jeans. Pressing herself into his hand, she buried her face in his neck and clung. As her breath began to come in little gasps, he knew he’d completely lose control if the lesson continued. She wasn’t ready to make love, he sternly told himself. Not yet. He had only wanted her to accept his touch. He forced his hand to move to her thigh, and pain knifed through him when he heard her cry of disappointment.
He held her tightly and nuzzled her throat, as his body and hers slowly relaxed. All of her was so incredibly sweet and responsive. He couldn’t remember a time when he’d given so little and received so much in return.
“So that’s lesson number two,” she finally said, breaking into his thoughts.
He chuckled and hugged her more tightly. “Actually, I think it was lesson number twenty-seven, but we won’t quibble.”
She tilted her head back and looked at him. “It seems to me that you didn’t have a
