Laughing, he turned his attention to her other breast. “Let me show you.” Licking and sucking and teasing, he set out to destroy her defenses, to make her forget all about being a lady. The noises he coaxed from her were hardly ladylike, but before it registered that she should be embarrassed by her reactions, he would do something else, drawing more sighs and moans and whimpers from her.

And so it went, one sensation on top of another, building and growing until she was desperate for completion.

“Adam…”

He raised his face from the hip bone he’d been investigating with tiny nips of his teeth that ratcheted her desire to unprecedented levels. She hadn’t even known that hip bones could be sexy.

“What do you need, honey? Tell me.”

“More. I need more.”

Displaying the same efficiency he’d shown with her top and bra, he removed her jeans quickly, leaving her only in string-bikini panties that matched the bra.

“Should I be worried at how adept you are at removing a woman’s clothing?”

“Not at all. You shouldn’t be worried about anything.” He pulled his own shirt up and over his head, baring a most excellent chest to her visual perusal. Defined pectorals and rippled abs that made her sigh.

She ran her fingers over each of them. “How does a computer geek get muscles like these?”

“Many, many hours in the gym.”

Pressing her lips to the flat disk of his nipple, she said, “Time very well spent.”

He cupped her mound through the silky panties, making her strain for more. “I’m glad you think so.”

“Adam?”

“Hmm?”

“There’s something else I should tell you before this goes any farther.”

“That sounds ominous.”

“It’s more embarrassing than ominous.”

“You’re not getting embarrassed anymore, remember? You’re enjoying a fling with a man who finds you incredibly sexy and desirable.”

While she appreciated the reminder, this particular issue had caused her untold problems in the past. As they were down to his unbuttoned jeans and two pairs of underwear standing between them and the next step in the relationship they weren’t having, she couldn’t postpone this discussion any longer.

“What is it, honey? Put it out there and let’s talk about it so you can stop fretting about it.”

“The problem I told you about the other night… It’s not the only one.”

“Okay.”

She turned her head, avoiding his gaze as she searched for the words. It was easier to say when she wasn’t facing those dazzling blue eyes looking down at her and seeing her in ways she hadn’t been seen before. “Sometimes…well, most of the time…I get nervous about…you know…”

“Having sex?”

“Yes.” She cleared her throat and forced herself to continue. “When that happens, it’s difficult for the guy to… To get it in.”

“So…things dry up?”
