tongue darting out again and he knew she wanted to touch him but something was holding her back.  To encourage her, he lifted her hand, placing it on his chest and felt an enormous amount of satisfaction when her fingers remained.  That satisfaction was completely obliterated when her slender limbs moved against his skin, firing a heat within him that almost made him lose control.  He’d always enjoyed women’s caresses, but something about Marissa’s tentative touch made him feel the urgent need to bury himself in her heat. 
    He held back, pushing the pain of that need to the back and letting her touch him even though it felt like he was going to die a happy death with her slow, curious fingers on his body.  When her fingers ran over his flat, male nipple, he sucked in his breath harshly.  Her fingers flew away but he gritted his teeth and grabbed her hand, placing it right back where he wanted it.  “Don’t stop,” he ordered. 
    Marissa watched in fascination as his muscles twitched and flexed under her fingertips.  The more she touched, the more spellbound she was with his skin and the way he reacted no matter where she touched him.  Her eyes kept looking at his face to determine if she might be irritating or hurting him but his eyes were tightly closed and his bulging muscles straining as he held himself over her.  She took the opportunity to do exactly what she’d wanted to do.  Her fingers fanned out, noting how erotic her pale fingers looked against his tanned, muscular skin. 
    “You are amazing,” she whispered softly, reverently as she continued to explore him.  She felt her body heating up whenever he flinched or groaned and the more she touched, the bolder her fingers became.  And even better, his groans grew in intensity until he shook his head, grabbed her hands and held them over head. 
    “Did I do something wrong?” she asked, her stomach fluttering and her body aching for him to touch her.  But she would feel horrible if she’d done anything to hurt him.
    “The exact opposite,” he growled.  “I love the way you touch me, Marissa.  And next time, I’ll let you touch me all you want, but right now, I can’t take anymore.”  He bent down and kissed her, his mouth possessing hers.  Despite being held hostage by his gentle, iron grip, she still felt powerful.  When he looked down at her, his eyes lighting on fire as he watched her body writhe underneath him, she knew that she wanted him.  She knew that she was making a dangerous decision, but at this moment, it was the only right one. 
    “Please, Zeke,” she whispered, her eyes telling him without words what she wanted.
    Zeke hesitated for only a moment before he stood up, grabbing her hands and pulling her up next to him.  He didn’t let her hide in any way.  As he stripped her clothes off of her, he touched everywhere, kissing, nibbling, biting.  The feelings he created within her were so powerful, she tried to push him away at times but he wouldn’t let her go and he wouldn’t stop.  When she was completely naked, he laid her down on her back and followed her, his hands worshiping her breasts and his mouth continued on the same path, tasting the raspberry nipple and reveling when her fingers slid into his hair.  Her hands held him there for a long moment while he sucked, hard.  A moment later, she was pulling him away, the feeling too intense but she just pulled him right back to her, wanting more as soon as the stirrings ended. 
    Zeke chuckled, but it was getting harder and harder to hold himself back.  He moved to the other breast and when he received the response he wanted, he smiled and stood up.  With deft, swift fingers, he tossed his slacks and boxers to the side, coming right back to her and moving lower.  When he smelled her arousal, he almost lost his control but he took a deep breath, closing his eyes to concentrate on something other than the woman who couldn’t keep still when he touched her,
