their lips parted she was helping him shed his jacket and hers, and unbuttoning their shirts.
    Emmy offered her shoulder for kissing, her neck for nibbling, and finally brought Jared’s skillful lips to her breast. He slid his fingers to the clasp of her bra, and the intruding garment slid to the floor between them. He took her in his hands and molded the mounds of flesh, thumbing her hardening nipples. “God, these freckles—I’m going to kiss every one of them.”
    “There’s a lot more where these came from,” she said and turned in his arms to show him her back. From her shoulders down her spine, she was covered with the tiny sun kisses. Growing up they’d been the bane of her existence, and she’d been teased about them unmercifully. As he placed a kiss on each and every one of them, Emmy’s body tingled, and her thoughts faded away.
    “So sexy…” He lowered her panties just an inch and kissed the newly revealed skin. She moaned when he squeezed her ass and pulled her hips against his, providing very hard evidence of his arousal. “I’m on the pill,” she whispered, “But—”
    “I’ve got condoms in my luggage, hang on.”
    Emmy fell onto the bed and watched him move efficiently around the room. He returned with a familiar foil packet, several in fact, and placed them on the nightstand. “I was a Scout. I’m always prepared.”
    “Did you earn merit badges for having condoms?”
    He tore open one of the packets. “I’ll show you my badges some day. You’d be surprised by the skills I have.”
    Emerson squirmed in anticipation as Jared stripped off his pants and briefs and put on the condom. She reached for him. “Which skills are you going to show me tonight?”
    He lowered his body over hers and pressed hot kisses to her chest, her nipples and her stomach. “I thought I’d start with trailblazing. How’s this?”
    She shuddered as he licked a burning line from her cleavage down to her navel. Her panties disappeared a second later, leaving her completely open to his ministrations. “That’s good…lots of merit there.”
    “Then I figured I could start a fire.” He found her center and began to massage the tight bud of nerves. Emmy was sure she saw flames. She caught her breath as the heat rose inside her.
    “You’ve definitely got a spark going.”
    He worked his way down her writhing body and gently blew warm air across her navel. She arched her back. “You have to fan the flames and let them breathe.”
    Emmy nodded. She could hardly breathe herself, but the flames were doing just fine.
    “Exploring new territories,” he said, his fingers going places no one had been in a quite a while. Emmy gasped as he entered her and sighed when he found the perfect rhythm to set her body rocking on a gentle wave. “You have to advance slowly, never rush in.”
    “Oh, rush, you can rush if you want to…” Emmy was wild with desire. She wanted Jared in every way, but he was teasing her, making her wait while he took his sweet time exploring her with his fingers, warming her with his body.
    He smiled wickedly and rose up to nibble her lower lip. “I don’t want to rush anything.” He traced circles on her skin, raising gooseflesh. “I want to learn every inch of you, every curve.”
    “Do that later. I want you now!” She pulled him toward her, settled under him, and showed him exactly what she wanted.
    “Patience…” He groaned, but she could see he was losing the battle. His determination to take things slow faltered when she bucked her hips up to meet him. “It’s not one of your virtues, is it?”
    “Not at all.”
    “We’ll work on merit badges later, then.”
    “Later, lots of later, right now…” Her words were lost in a kiss and a joining that had them both moaning incoherently. He took her as she asked him to, fast and hard, and they tumbled over the edge together.
