just once. She wanted to see his strong hand circle himself. He was so thick and rigid, and there was something so primal— But she couldn’t.
    â€œWhat is it, Natalie?”
    Damn the man for being so focused. “Nothing. I—”
    â€œTell me.” This time it was a command.
    â€œI—I wondered what it would look like if you—” She darted her gaze from his in the mirror, downward…then back up again. She couldn’t say it, so she showed him. She took his hand. Hers was shaking. And she moved it across his thigh…and upward. “I’ve never— I wanted to see what—”
    And then he wrapped his big, wide hand around himself and stroked all the way to the tip and back again. “Is that what you wanted to see?”
    She was panting. “Yes,” she gasped. “God.”
    â€œWould you like to?”
    She shook her head, but what she said was “Yes.”
    He took her hand and wrapped it around him. Again her knees buckled. He felt so intensely hard, and yet his skin was like velvet. Tightly ridged with veins that twitched beneath her touch. He groaned deep and long, as she slowly moved her hand down the full length of him.
    Dear Lord, how she wanted to take him!
    â€œStop.” The command was harsh and hoarsely spoken.
    She dropped her hand. “I’m sorry.”
    He turned to her. “We were both going to be really sorry there in a second.”
    Amazingly, she smiled, even laughed. “Then, thank you for stopping me.”
    â€œI didn’t want to.” His gaze darkened. “Damn but you feel good on me, Natalie.”
    She swallowed. He was truly overwhelming to her in every way. It was a very heady thing to know she couldaffect him like this, too. It was that realization that gave her the boldness to look up at him and say, “I want to know how good you’ll feel in me, Jake.” She turned fully toward him so the tip of his erection brushed her belly. “Right now.”

    J AKE HAD NO IDEA what he’d done to deserve this day, but he damn well wanted to find out so he could do it again.
    Natalie was like no other woman he’d ever met. She was intelligent, witty, sharp and absolutely sexy. But she was also somewhat shy, or at least private. Definitely reserved when it came to sex. And yet she wanted so badly not to be. He was more than glad to help her out. In fact, it stunned him just what emotions and urges she brought out in him.
    He had always firmly believed in seeing to his partner’s pleasure as well as to his own. But something about Natalie brought out twin urges to protect…and to dominate. He wasn’t all that surprised at the former. But the latter shocked him. He was definitely not that guy. And yet he’d never felt more natural than when he told her to walk across that room. Yes, he’d sensed she wanted direction, wanted to be absolved, at least a tiny bit, of the pressure of being in control.
    But nothing had prepared him for the rush it had given him when she’d complied. Maybe it was becauseshe’d done so with her head high. No meekness, definitely no submissiveness. It hadn’t been about domination or even control. It had been…primal. Visceral. This need to push her. Push her toward discovering her own pleasure…and toward discovering his. Maybe it was because he knew she’d push back.
    And the idea of that happening rocked him even harder.
    â€œNow?” he answered her command. And yes, it had been a command. He had never been one for that, either, never desired women who almost liked to punish men for giving them pleasure. But this command, it was about mutual pleasure. He could definitely identify with that.
    And maybe that was the real thrill here. That they would push and shove, command and demand the absolute greatest degree of pleasure from one another.
    He grinned down at her, hoping they both survived the onslaught. She
