startled.  “Open what?”  The door?  Why would he want the door open while they did this?
    He grinned.  “Your mouth, sweet.”
    She frowned.  “Why?”
    “So I can kiss you properly.”  He leaned down again, his tongue moving across her lips and this time she opened her mouth to his probing tongue.  He kissed her soundly, his tongue exploring her own. 
    She was stunned when he put his tongue into her mouth, not having ever heard a man would do that to a woman.  Was he doing something he shouldn’t?  Or was it okay?
    After a moment, he pulled away, breathing heavily.  “We need to get all these clothes off of you.”  She blushed as he walked around behind her and untied her corset, loosening it enough to push it down and off her hips.  “Step out of it, love.”
    She did, standing before him in just her petticoat of light cotton.  She knew her body was visible through the white fabric, and she blushed profusely.  He quickly removed the last bits of clothing shielding her from his gaze and stared at her as she stood before him in just her slippers and silk stockings.  He took her hand and led her to the bed.  “Sit.”
    She sat on the edge of the bed and watched as he knelt at her feet removing first one slipper and then the other.  He slowly rolled each stocking down and off her legs, dropping them to the floor before standing and pulling her to her feet again.
    He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his embrace, kissing her.  It felt strange to be completely naked in the arms of a man who was still fully clothed, but she imagined it would feel even stranger once he took off his clothing.  After a moment, he swung her up in his arms and carried her the few feet to the bed, setting her down gently before stretching out beside her, his hands stroking her bare flesh.
    She shivered as his hands cupped her breast s in his palms, and he gently toyed with her nipples.  He was pressed against her and she could feel the fine linen of his pants against her legs.  Never had she wanted to be touched so badly in her life.  His touch made her feel alive and sent a tingling from her breasts all the way to her toes. 
    After a moment, she felt it was unfair that he was still fully clothed.  She wanted to be able to touch him as well, but he hadn’t taken off even his shirt or tie.  Her fingers went to his tie, and untied it, throwing it to the floor.  She made quick work of the buttons parading up and down the front of his shirt.  Once she had it unfastened, she tried to spread it wide, but it was tucked too tightly into his pants.  She reached down and pulled his shirt from his pants, finally able to spread it wide and move her hands along his chest.
    She was surprised to find a light dusting of hair on his chest, never having seen a man shirtless before.  She hadn’t known men grew hair on their chests.  It was odd and springy, but she liked the feel of it in her fingers.  After a moment , she found his flat nipple and touched it with her fingers.  She hadn’t even thought that men might have nipples since they didn’t use them to nurse babies.  She wondered why God had given them to men. 
    Pushing his shirt off his shoulders completely, she ran her fingers over his bare back, enjoying the heat she felt radiating off his skin.  She’d been concentrating so hard on her exploration of him, that she hadn’t noticed he’d stopped touching her and exploring her.  She looked up and saw him watching her oddly.  “Is this wrong?” she asked.
    “No, of course not.  Nothing is wrong between us!”  He moved his mouth to her lips again, kissing her with more passion than before.  He kissed a path from her mouth down to her shoulder and then to her nipple, catching it between his teeth and sucking it into his mouth. 
    She was startled to see him suckling her that way, not having realized men did that.   While his tongue toyed with her nipple, his hand wandered down her body
