In a flash, Dex reaches out and rips them off me, throwing them aside. Now, he can see everything. I’m open to him, sprawled here in a tangle of my own desire, but I’m too far gone to care. Desire pounds a reckless pulse through my body as I spread my legs and touch myself again, whimpering at the pressure, throwing my head back and shutting my eyes to lose myself in the sensation of my own nimble hands and the hot burn of his gaze on me, watching, everywhere.
So close, so close…
I slide lower and sink my fingers into my wet, aching core with a moan. I’m aching for him, needing him to fill me up, but the sensation is enough to send me spiraling to the edge, my blood boiling as I surge my fingers inside me, palm pressing against my clit, rocking my hips to increase the pressure. I can hear myself whimper and moan, writhing in the sheets with total abandon. I squeeze my breast with my free hand, pinching at the nipple with sharp pleasure as I rock faster, panting for release. I’m climbing, cresting, safe here in the dark, alone in the world, but then I hear Dex’s labored breath and it all comes rushing back. My eyes fly open to see him, just inches away from me, watching with a desperate hunger in his eyes and the shock of what I’m doing here—how dirty, how forbidden—crashes over me and I come apart with a cry, pleasure slamming through me in a tidal wave of ecstasy as I come, and come, and come, clutching around my own fingers until my body is spent and gasping.
I’m undone.

It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in my life.
Alicia is splayed out on my bed with her bra twisted around her stomach and her glorious body naked in the setting sun. She gasps for breath, still shuddering from her climax, her skin mottled red with desire, her perfect pink lips parted, wet and empty.
Goddamn.
Any other girl, I’d be inside her by now: thrusting deep between those creamy thighs until I was buried to the fucking hilt, taking the pleasure that roars in my bones for release. But something holds me back.
I want to know every inch of her before I finally claim her body as my own. Explore her inch by innocent inch, drive her to the precipice and back a hundred times over.
Make her darkest fantasies come true.
When I do take her, I want to hear every gasp and murmur like a melody I know by heart. Learn the symphony of her body so there’s no pleasure she won’t taste, no place in her mind she can run to.
Nothing between us she can hide.
I watch her surface from the haze, her cheeks flushing. She moves to cover herself, trying to sit up. A look of stunned panic flares in her eyes.
Like clockwork.
I can see it on her face now, clear as day. What the fuck did I just do?
“Don’t even think about it.” Before she can move, I grab a soft blanket from the bench at the foot of the bed, and cover her body. I lie down on the bed, scooping her firmly against me to rest her head in the crook of my shoulder.She fits perfectly, like I knew she would.
“Think about what?”
Alicia’s blue eyes are bright, her hair spilling back across the covers, coppery red. I reach to stroke it back from her face, smoothing over the silky locks.
“Running,” I answer, cupping her cheek. “And don’t pretend like you weren’t thinking it. I know how that brain of yours works.”
“I can’t believe I’m so easy to read,” she protests. “There goes my hope of being a woman of mystery.”
I laugh, cradling her body against my hip. I’ve still got a raging hard-on, but I force myself to chill. This isn’t about me, not right now. This is about releasing all of her inhibitions, one by one, until she’s the one desperate and begging for me.
“It’s not that,” I tell her, still holding tight. Why can’t I keep my hands off this woman? “But there’s a pattern for sure. First, you let go, but then your mind starts working overtime, and you try and bolt.”
She blushes. “I’m working on it,” she whispers, her eyes fixed on me. “It’s not that I want to go, I just can’t help my brain overriding everything. Telling me all the reasons I shouldn’t be doing what we’re doing.”
“Well, then.” I gently trace a path along her bare collarbone, making her shudder. “We’ll just have to find a way to overload the system. Set the voltage on every connection so high,” I roll closer, whispering in her ear, “and make the speakers blow.”
I lick into her mouth, claiming her with a kiss. Alicia makes a whimpering noise, and then she’s reaching between us, her hand sliding lower down my stomach towards my aching cock.
I pull away with a growl.
“What’s wrong?” Alicia blinks, her eyes wide with confusion. “I thought…”
“Not tonight.”
She bites her lip. “Why not? I want to touch you, this time.” Her fingertips stroke back and forth just below my stomach, and I have to fight to keep control.
Just take her. Pin her down and fuck her brains out, the way you want to. The way she needs.
“This was about you,” I whisper through a clenched jaw. “Taking your pleasure. Learning how good your body can feel.”
“It would feel even better with you touching me.” Alicia’s lips curve in a sexy little smile, and it takes everything I have not to ravage her right this very second.
Fuck, I deserve a medal for this.
I reluctantly move her hand away. “Believe me, sweetheart, I’m going to take you up on that. But I’m not going to run the risk of waking up tomorrow morning and finding you’ve hightailed it back to the city because you feel like you went too far.”
