smooth and soft for you.” She also needed to slow things down. “It’s been awhile for me.” He didn’t need to know she was counting years, not months. She raised her bottle of body lotion and slowly pushed open the top, air hissed out and a single drop of creamy liquid popped into the air. She caught the pearly cream with a fingertip, smoothed it between her thumb and forefinger, while keeping her eyes trained on him. He watched with an avid gleam in his eye.
    “Get into bed,” he said, but his eyes spoke differently. Filled with humor, they told her to have her fun. She knew she’d have to pay a price for it, but what the hell, they had two weeks.
    “I’m not ready, and you want me…ready.”
    “That I do.”
    Holding the container at eye level, she slowly tilted the bottle and squeezed gently. One drop, then two, a third, finally a narrow stream of cream drizzled out into her waiting palm. “Ooh, that’s cool to the touch,” she said.
    He dropped the duvet back down to cover his lap, prepared for the show.
    She warmed the liquid between her palms and lifted her left foot to the bed. She made sure to drape the black velvet across her hip to hide any secrets he might be tempted to look for.
    Starting with her foot, Jaye made sure to swab the lotion between each toe, around her instep and into her heel. Slowly, she swirled up her calf, over her knee and across the top and outside of her thigh. The bed shifted as Alex moved his legs restlessly.
    Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the duvet tent while he adjusted the covering for room. Knowing that this simple act had him rising like a rod made her own juices flow, hot and wet.
    Taking another dab of lotion, she started the journey up the inside of her thigh toward her center. Widening her stance she slicked the cream along the inside crease of her leg.
    A heavy catch of breath from Alex made her smile. The sensation of her own fingers massaging so close to her heightened nerve endings heated her. A flush rose from her low belly to her face.
    She allowed one swipe of her forefinger across her mons, one light touch between the hood against her most aching point of flesh. “I don’t have to worry about being dry anymore. I’m so wet, I could smear my own juices down my other leg.”
    “That would be a waste, besides I’m greedy and want them all.”
    His husky words brought on another gush of moisture and she trembled low and deep and wide.
    She dropped the lotion bottle and put her foot back on the floor.
    “No, you started this, now finish it,” he demanded. He cocked an eyebrow with a dare in his eyes she couldn’t refuse.
    “Damn you.”
    “Do it.” He slid one hand to his jutting cock under the cover. The motion of his hand undercover made him close his eyes.
    “No, you don’t,” she said, and pulled the duvet down to his ankles. “I want to see too.”
    His strong hand slid slowly up and along his shaft, across the head of his penis, once, twice in a languid motion meant to tease the flesh and her eyes.
    It did.
    She reached for the body lotion again. Her hand shook as she squirted more into her palm. Her peripheral vision filled with Alex and what he was doing. She should be the one whose hand explored and squeezed and stroked. It should be her fingers dancing and sliding. She shuddered.
    “Are you going to daydream or are you going to use that lotion?”
    She responded with a huff, but bent to her raised foot to swirl the cream around her toes. She didn’t bother draping the material of the negligee this time and let him see whatever he wanted. Her curls were damp where her juices seeped, her lips were open, allowing cool air to ease some of her heat while Alex looked his fill.
    The trip up the heated flesh of her legs was faster this time. She may even have missed a spot or two, but when she again reached her inner thigh, she forced her fingers to slow. In a bold move, Jaye faced the bed and pressed her knee wide open so he could see
