She couldn’t imagine having more than she was about to experience. Her mouth met his and her need for him captured her entire attention.
Greg released her. He clasped her hand and they walked down the hall to his bedroom. She turned and stroked his chest. She reveled in the texture of his chest hair, his skin and the way his muscles rippled beneath her fingers. His nipples tightened. She bent her head and licked one.
Greg groaned. “Don’t know where we’re going but let’s enjoy the journey.”
“Good idea.” For an instant she wished the journey could be lifelong. He appealed to her more than any man ever had. Problem was she didn’t believe in love and happily ever after. As a young teen her mother’s death had shattered her world. Not that her father didn’t love his children but his way of showing love was verbal. She missed her mother’s hugs and kisses. Until she’d abandoned her dream of becoming a world class chef and started to work for Good Eatin’ praise from her father had been scant. She sauntered to the king-sized bed and lay on the cool sheets.
Greg leaned down and kissed her. “Still game?”
“As I said I am if you are.”
He nodded. “Thoughts of being at your mercy bring interesting ideas to mind.” He opened a drawer and pulled out two silk scarves. “Patty Lou gave these to me as a welcome to town gift. Never used them before but she said I would know when the time was right.”
Allie watched him cross the room. She swallowed against a lump in her throat. She had agreed but could she handle the lose of control?
Greg sat on the bed. He lifted her right hand, kissed the palm and stroked the back. After sliding her hand into a silk loop he fastened the scarf to a spindle on the headboard. He bent and kissed her forehead. “You still okay with this?”
She nodded. His gaze brought a rush of heat flowing into and lodging in her belly. He handled her left hand as he had the right. He slid across her body the silk lounge pants whispered over her thighs. He kissed each eyelid and lingered on her mouth. Then he stood beside the bed where she could watch.
He untied the drawstring at his waist and inched the cloth over his hips. When she saw his rampant shaft she wished her hands were free. She wanted to caress the hardness and stroke the length. She smiled. She would have her turn. He set a brandy snifter filled with condoms on the bedside stand and selected one.
Allie laughed. “Optimist.”
“Merely prepared. There’s a wide variety of styles.”
He opened the packet with his teeth. When he grabbed his erection and sheathed himself the ember of heat in her belly ignited. She wanted him inside. Moisture gathered.
Greg stood at the foot of the bed and removed her shoes. He caressed each foot and raised her leg to run his fingers over the laced back of the stockings. “What a turn on these are.”
She raised her other foot and stroked his thigh with her toes. “I doubt you need help.”
“Not when I’m with you.”
He knelt between her spread legs and ran his finger around the top of the thigh highs. Her abdomen tightened. He leaned forward and caught her mouth in a kiss. Heat seared. His erection brushed the crotch of her teddy. She sucked in a breath. Heat bubbled. He slid his mouth over her chin to lick and suck her neck. Allie wanted to wrap her arms around him. Resentment for her bound arms rose. He untied the bow at the top of the teddy and unlaced the front to the end. Allie’s hands clenched. Low whimpers escaped. He slid his mouth over the exposed skin focusing in her breasts. Allie moved restlessly. Being bound kept her from controlling the event.
She crossed her legs around his thighs. “Free me. I want you.”
“Soon.” His voice vibrated against her skin.
The intensity of his gaze increased her need. “Not soon. Now.”
He laughed and continued his slow way over her skin. Allie ached. She thrust her hips. He slid a finger beneath the teddy and stroked
