She stared up at him, her fingers digging into the curves of his biceps, waiting, wanting, and finally he lowered his head and kissed her.

His mouth played gently with hers and his tongue flickered out and traced the seam of her lips until she opened to him with a gasp of longing. He delved deeper, exploring her mouth with a thoroughness that left her trembling and clutching his shoulders. He pulled away for just long enough to strip off his clothes and then she felt the smooth slide of his hand on her T-shirt. He removed it in a swift movement and then he was touching her breast, teasing her nipple until moist heat pooled between her thighs.

Alex dragged his mouth away from hers and she briefly caught the glitter of his eyes before he shifted himself slightly so that he could gaze at her breasts.

‘I’m really flat-chested,’ she joked feebly, and he lifted his head and his eyes burned into hers.

‘You’re absolutely beautiful,’ he said hoarsely. ‘Don’t ever believe anything different. And you have gorgeous breasts.’

She lay still, transfixed by the expression in his eyes, knowing that he meant it. And the knowledge made her feel more like a woman than she ever had before.

And then he lowered his head to her breast and heat exploded in her belly. With a skilled flick of his clever tongue he teased one pink nipple while his fingers played gently with the other. Her response was instantaneous, her hips shifting restlessly against the cool sheets in an effort to relieve the building pressure in her pelvis. The excitement was so intense that she thought she’d explode and perhaps he knew that because he ceased the flicking motion and instead drew her nipple into the damp heat of his mouth.

Jenny’s whole body burned with longing.

She writhed and sobbed underneath him, clutching at his dark hair in a fevered desperation.

‘Alex…’

He lifted his head, his blue eyes suddenly fierce. ‘Don’t ever tell me you’re not attractive,’ he said thickly, his thumb slowly tracing the contour of her damp, pouting nipple. ‘You’re incredible. And intensely sexual.’

Her breath was coming in pants. ‘Alex, please…’

‘Please, what?’

‘I need you to—’ She broke off, unable to believe that she was being so brazen. ‘Please, touch me—please…’

Alex shifted slightly so that he was looking directly down at her and then his hand slid down her heated flesh, impatiently removed the barrier of her panties and then returned to rest lightly on the dark curls that protected the heart of her femininity.

‘Is this what you want?’

This time, instead of stopping him she arched against him, her whole body begging for his touch, encouraging him.

His eyes locked on hers, increasing the intimacy as he parted her legs with long, clever fingers, caressing her with a sure touch.

She gasped, her hands biting into the powerful muscles of his shoulders, unable to look away from the raw sexual need that glittered in those blue eyes.
