“No need to guess when I can show you,” he said, bringing his mouth down hard on hers. Frenzied, his kiss expressed an immediate need to be as close as possible.
His tongue swept inside the deep recesses of her mouth, mimicking the ultimate act. His strong hands slid from her waist to her thighs and he grazed the tops of her stockings with his thumbs while his fingertips teased the outer edges of her panties. With his whisper-soft and erotically arousing movements, he let her know what he had in store.
And Brandy wanted more. She arched her back and her hips jerked forward, reflexively, searching for his harder, deeper touch. He didn’t deny her. He broke the kiss and concentrated on her need, cupping her sex in his palm. The heat and weight of his hand against her barely covered flesh stirred long-dormant sensations and when he pushed aside the thin lace and dipped his fingers inside her waiting heat, she thought she’d died and gone to heaven.
She was hot and aroused, on the brink of falling over a precipice, a tumble she had no desire to take alone. She leaned back to catch her breath, intending to make her desire known and she caught a glimpse of their position. She was barely dressed, her legs spread wide, with Max’s lean body settled between them. She was open and vulnerable, physically as well as emotionally. The intimacy they were sharing struck her as strongly as her rampaging emotions. And when he leaned over, covering her body with his so he could rest his cheek against hers, he found a way closer to her heart. How he’d gotten there so fast she had no idea.
She shut her eyes against the wave of emotion she wasn’t ready to deal with now. “Now, Max.”
His deep blue eyes met hers. “Be sure, Brandy.” His breathing was as ragged as her emotions. “Because if we go any further there’s no way I can stop.”
She’d come into this night with a simple seduction in mind and though everything had changed, including the man, there was no way she could walk away from him now. Still, he had to understand her behavior wasn’t normally so wanton. She didn’t know why it mattered so much, but it did.
She caressed his face with one hand. “I wouldn’t have asked you if I wasn’t sure, but…”
He grabbed for her hand. “But?”
“No matter how bold I’ve been tonight, I want you to know I don’t usually sleep with a man I just met.”
“I know.”
“You do?”
He nodded. “Because I feel like I’ve known you all my life.”
She felt the same but couldn’t bring herself to admit the truth out loud. She licked her already wet lips. “There’s something else you need to know.” She couldn’t think beyond now. Not that he’d asked but the emotional pull between them was too strong to ignore.
He shook his head. “Enough talking, don’t you think?” To make his point, he slipped one finger back into her panties, parting her sensitive folds and moving his fingertip deeply inside her.
She closed her eyes and exhaled a soft moan as he encountered the desire he’d created inside her.
“So wet, so ready for me.”
The man did have a point. “Talking can wait.” She forced her heavy eyelids open. “So what did you have in mind?”
“I’m going to do what you asked, sweetheart. I’m going to take you. But I want you to do something for me first.” He reached into his front pocket and pulled out the anklet she’d had on earlier in the evening.
She eyed the object with surprise.
“I took it from the car.” He answered her unspoken question and shook the accessory in the air. The light chime of bells echoed in the silent bar. “Wear these for me.”
Her heart beat out a rapid pulse and excitement tingled inside her. “Mind if I ask why?” she questioned, curiously aroused by the suggestion.
“I want to hear bells when I come inside you,” he said and his blue eyes flared with heat. “And every time you hear the ringing of chimes, I want you to think of me.”
She never broke eye contact as she raised her leg and perched it on the edge of the table. With a nod of approval, he turned to his task, taking his time, rolling the stocking down her leg, inch by tantalizing inch. When he finished one, she propped her other leg so he could peel off another of her few remaining layers.
Then he snapped the anklet closed. “Perfect,” he said, taking in her wanton pose.
With her legs spread wide, Brandy ought to be embarrassed, but all she felt was a keen sense of anticipation. “Well, you’ve got me where you want me.”
She shifted her leg, shaking her foot so he could hear the light tinkling of bells. To her surprise, the sound turned from light and playful to highly erotic, charging the already electric atmosphere even further.
