breathless as she stood up. Her shoe dangled from his fingers.
    “Does this make me Cinderella?”
    “Well, if you think I'm Prince Charming then you don't know me well enough”
     
    Charlie giggled and held up her glass.
    “Any chance of a refill, I'm thirsty”
    “Certainly” Zach replied, taking it from her grasp and at the same time letting his fingertips touch hers. He poured generous measures for them both and turned to find she had kicked off her other shoe and was now curled up on his sofa. Sitting down beside her he held the glass out. She reached for it but he pulled it out of reach
    “If you want it you'll have to take it”
    “You mean like this” as she reached across his body.

    In a swift move he placed the glass on the side table and her hand found his instead. Off balance now Charlie fell across his lap and tried to twist out of his grip but he held her tight and let his other hand glance across her rear. The one touch had a profound effect as he withdrew it and then replaced it with a light slap of his palm. Charlie drew in her breath and let out a yelp.
    “This is for trying to play me” his voice echoed, soft and low, bestowing another on the untouched mound. How he wanted to feel her bare flesh that the fabric protected.
     
    She wriggled in his grip so he released her and she turned over, but instead of moving her legs she left them on his lap. The hem of her dress, wrinkled up to the top of her thighs. All she could do wa s star e at him in surprise, her arse still smarting for his touch, but spreading its warmth to other places. Innocently she licked her lips, the tip of her tongue cherry red against the pale frosted lipstick. That one movement was all it took t o fel l him. With both hands he clasped her cheeks and pushed his lips against hers.
     
    Charlie opened her mouth to his probing tongue, she too utterly powerless to resist their attraction. Zach eased her back onto the sof a cushions , his body weight displaced the air in her lungs. When his lips and tongue started their journey down her throat she gasped to refill them. Her heart felt like it had moved to prevent further long breaths as she panted under his grazing stubble. Each short hair seemed to ignite the nerves just below the smooth surface of her skin.
     
    The straps of her dress gave no resistance to his relentless assault and were quickly followed by those of her bra. He freed her breasts and sank his hot, mouth to each nipple in turn.
    “Fuuuuuuuuck” she cried, as his teeth nipped, once more pleasure and pain colliding. Her fingers fumbled with the tiny buttons on his shirt, until he grew impatient.
    “Just rip them off”
    She grabbed the centre seams and yanked them apart, the buttons scattered over the wooden floor. His chest was broad and well defined beneath the dark mass of hair that covered it . It was such a distinct contrast to Mitchell's smoothness.
     
    Her eyes slipped down to the waistband of his trousers, where the hair petered out into a thin line.
    “Do you want to see where it leads”
    “What do you think?” She quipped.
    He eased off her and stood up, kicking off his shoes and then undoing the belt and letting them fall.
    “Your turn, unless you'd let me do the honours”
    Lifting her hips towards him, she blushed and allowed his hands to pull the dress free.
     
    The sounds from the club beneath them had moved up a level as they both paused for the briefest of minutes, drinking each other in. Desire widened the pupils in his eyes, turning them dark and dangerous. Zach dropped to his knees and crawled to her, his fingers ran up the muscles and traced the sinews of her lower leg. Above her knee the change in temperature of her skin was easy to feel. The scrap of lace that covered her pussy offered no protection against his probing, he yanked it aside and it ripped off. The rest of his body pushed between her legs, spreading them wide.
     
    Charlotte half wanted to scramble away at
