fatten you up with a few more calorie-rich meals."
"I certainly wouldn't mind. That was truly the most delicious meal of my life."
Nicholas beamed at her as he gently laid her on the sofa.
When he attempted to stand up, Lucy reached out and grabbed his arm.
"Please don't leave. I...I want you to stay."
Nicholas grinned down at her. "You have no idea how much I've been waiting to hear that from you, sweetheart.
But you are simply too exhausted for company tonight, I'm afraid."
Lucy shook her head and tugged on Nicholas' hand, pulling him down onto the sofa with her.

"You promised we would finish that kiss. I'm not usually this forward with men, honestly. But I enjoyed tonight so much, especially the dinner. And I've never felt the way I did when you kissed me earlier. It was wonderful and intoxicating. Just for once, I want...I want..."
"What do you want, Lucy Anne?"
Tell him, Lucy, tell him what you really want...
"I want you, Nicholas. I'm tired of spending hours in the kitchen toiling away while everyone else has a life, and lovers, and...intoxicating kisses. I want you to make love to me. Please."
"As you wish, my sweet. A Klaus never reneges on a promise."

Chapter Six
Finally, Miss Lucy Anne Brewster was in his arms.
Sated by his decadent meal, she looked drowsy and delicious. My God, he wanted to taste every square inch of her luscious little body. Nicholas carefully removed his spectacles and placed them on a table next to the sofa. He felt like a child in a candy store, with so many tempting choices it was difficult to know where to begin.
Breathing deeply, he buried his face in Lucy's neck, inhaling her unique scent, a heady combination of vanilla, citrus and woman. He ran his tongue along her collarbone, up her graceful neck and made his way to her lips. Soft, full, and sweet as honey.
Lucy's lips were plump and wet, and Nicholas took his precious time tasting, teasing and nipping. She was hesitant at first, especially as his tongue began to explore her sweet mouth. But soon she was stroking his face and devouring his lips enthusiastically. Lucy suddenly giggled and Nicholas pulled back, searching her face.
"What is so funny, Miss Brewster?"
"Your beard. It tickles." Lucy rubbed her cheek along the side of his face, clearly savoring the feel of it. "I like it."
She smiled gloriously at him, and Nicholas could swear he could feel the rapid thumping of his heart in his chest. She likes my beard. Hallelujah! Nicholas used to be embarrassed by his thick beard. It was a family curse, and all of the Klaus men were either forced to shave three or more times a day, 49

or give in and look like a lumberjack. Nicholas vowed he would never shave again.
As Nicholas began to press small kisses along Lucy's neck, he could feel her body tremble beneath him. Her little moans of pleasure were igniting his lust. An erection of epic proportions was pressing happily down onto Lucy's pelvis, and he almost laughed out loud as she arched up against his massive frame, grinding against him.
"Uh, Lucy, I'm trying to go slow, darling, but..."
"Fast," Lucy panted against his mouth, "hurry, please..."
His control snapped as she rubbed more vigorously against him, and he scrambled to remove her T-shirt, tugging it over her head and flinging it onto the floor.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" Underneath her plain white T-shirt was a delightful surprise. A sheer pink demi-bra, with lacy straps and rosebuds along the seams. All of the blood in Nicholas' body seemed to rush to his groin and left him feeling rather light-headed. He cupped her beautiful breasts and reveled in the sight of two burgundy nipples screaming for his attention.
"What a nice surprise, Lucy Anne. It's like discovering a hidden treasure."
Shyly, Lucy whispered, "I like pretty lingerie."
