With a sharp groan, she pushed him back on the bed and whisked the chemise over her head. She ought to remove her boots and stockings, but she didn’t really want to spare the time. Instead, she climbed off him and stood between his legs once more. Hands shaking with want, she unbuttoned his fall and pulled his breeches off, then his smallclothes, revealing his cock.

It did look longer than most, and it was certainly gloriously erect. When she’d tossed his clothing to the floor, she encircled the base of his shaft and slowly brought her hand to the tip.

His hips jerked up off the bed as he moaned loudly. His hands gripped the coverlet as if he would tear it to pieces. She considered taking him in her mouth, something that she usually viewed as a task to be performed, not a mutually delightful act she wanted to share with someone.

But not now. Now, she wanted him inside her.

“Move onto the bed.” She didn’t recognize the deep gravelly tone of her voice. She sounded commanding and confident. It made her feel powerful, and she reveled in the sensation.

He pulled his legs fully onto the mattress and rotated his body so that his head was on the pillows. “Are you joining me?”

“I’m contemplating whether I want to bother removing my boots and stockings. I don’t really want to take the time.”

“Would you mind? Perhaps I’m being too pure of mind, but I envisaged having you completely nude. At least this first time.”

She looked forward to other encounters when they might be fully clothed. Perhaps he’d thrust her skirts up to her waist and bend her over a table to take her wildly from behind. Moving quickly, she unlaced her boots and kicked them off. She fumbled a bit with her stockings and garters, and he took over on the second one, moving across the bed like a predatory cat. His fingers deftly untied the garter, and the act of him removing the stocking was more sensual than anything anyone had ever done to her before having sex.

His fingertips whispered across her flesh. He lowered his head, his breath caressing her. He kissed the inside of her knee, her calf, and the middle of her foot, where it arced inward. “You have very pretty toes.”

“Some men like to suck them.” Oh God, had she really said that? “Or so I’ve heard.”

He looked up at her as he set her stocking aside. “Should I try that some time?”

She hadn’t ever enjoyed it much, but she was fast realizing that everything she’d done before was moot with Gregory. She had to consider this experience with him would be entirely new. It made her speechless. She tugged gently at his hair.
