The night had just taken a compelling twist, and Bennett finished her drink in one swallow. She placed the crystal flute into a holder and rested her hands on Ruby’s hips. “Well, aren’t you full of surprises?”
“That’s putting it mildly,” Ruby said, taking Bennett’s hand and guiding it under her dress. “See?”
Bennett’s smile slowly built, for the devil lurked in Ruby’s eyes. Bennett slid her hand up Ruby’s thigh, and her lungs emptied when she realized Ruby was wearing nothing under her dress but skin. “Christ.”
“It looks like I have your undivided attention—finally.”
“You do indeed.”
“Well, just to make sure…” Ruby raised herself up, and deftly unzipping her dress, she pushed the bodice down to reveal a black lace strapless bra. “Care to do the honors, or shall I?”
Bennett worked the clasp of Ruby’s bra in nothing flat, and urging the woman toward her, Bennett covered a nipple with her mouth. The tip grew hard instantly, and as she sucked the peak, Bennett slipped her hand between Ruby’s legs.
“Oh yes,” Ruby said, ground herself against Bennett’s palm. “Oh yes.”
Bennett used her tongue to explore Ruby’s taut nipples, circling one and then the other as the woman moved above her. The rhythm Ruby was setting was unchaste and demanding, her thrusts becoming harder as her need grew urgent, and when Bennett slipped two fingers inside, Ruby bowed her head and rocked even harder.
The windows fogged as their breathing grew ragged, and minutes ticked by unnoticed. Lost in the most animal of acts, Ruby rode Bennett’s hand and fingers in abandon, her hairline dampening as Bennett filled her for a moment before circling her engorged clit with fingers dripping with Ruby’s desire.
“Oh, God, Bennett,” Ruby gasped. “I need it hard…hard and fast…now. Oh, God…now.”
Bennett grabbed Ruby’s bottom, squeezing one cheek to lift her so Bennett could give Ruby what she wanted, and give her she did. Bennett’s pace became swift, and sheathing her fingers deep into Ruby’s center over and over, her force was as gentle as it was merciless.
They’d had sex enough for Bennett to know Ruby was close. Her breathing was now coming in fits and starts, so pulling out her fingers, Bennett directed all her efforts on Ruby’s clit. Circling and then rubbing the swollen nub at breakneck speed, only a few seconds passed before Ruby buried her head in the crook of Bennett’s neck, smothering the cries that come from climax.
Bennett held her close as the woman trembled and shivered her way through the waves, and when Ruby finally slumped onto Bennett’s lap, Bennett smiled into the woman’s hair. “So much for never doing it in a limo.”
