Holy shit, he’s got one sexy voice.Thelower rumble of his voice threw her heart into overdrive. The slow seep of moisturebetween her thighs surprised her. She never got this wet with her ex. Not fromonly a whisper in her ear. Those were things she wrote about in her novels, notsomething she experienced for herself. She swallowed hard.

“Um,Joel?”

“Yeah?”he asked, sliding his tongue around her earlobe.

“Damn,you’re good.”

Hechuckled softly as he nipped the fleshy part of her ear between his teeth. Sheclosed her eyes, letting the feelings overwhelm her. Hooking up with himprobably wasn’t a good idea, but every time he got close to her, she couldn’tthink of anything except getting him between the sheets to see how good hereally was.

Onehand slipped up her stomach to cup her breast. Two of his fingers plucked ather nipple through her bra and her whole world tilted on its axis. She’d alwaysknown her nipples were sensitive, but the slight pain of his pinch sent herbody into a spiral of need.

Hishand disappeared, reappearing under her shirt, pushing her bra out of the way.The warmth of his hand on her breast brought a moan to her lips. Seconds later,her shirt found its way over her head to leave her sitting on his lap in justher bra and jeans.

“God,you’re gorgeous. All curves.”

“Youmean fat.”

“No,curves. I love curves on a woman. I’m not into skinny like a rail. I wantsomething to hold onto when I’m pounding my cock into your sweet heat.”

“Iwant you to.”

“Shallwe head into the other room where it’s more comfortable? Not that I wouldn’tlove to make you come a dozen times right here on the couch first.”

“Adozen?” She gulped a lungful of air as shivers raked her body.

“Ohyeah.”

Hestood with her in his arms and headed down the small hall toward the bedroom.She hadn’t got a good look at the bedroom when they came down here before, butshe did now. He didn’t have a lot of furniture. Just a bed, asmall nightstand, and a dresser. The deep blue comforter on the bedseemed typical guy décor. A shade on the window gave him privacy, but didnothing to soften the room. No curtains hung there. Nothing to indicate a womanhad ever called this space home. Someday, one would, though. When, she didn’tknow and didn’t want to think about right now, but yeah, someday he would bringa wife here until they could build a bigger home for children.

“You’rethinking too much,” he whispered, from behind her as he wrapped his arms aroundher.

“Yeah,probably.”

Hecupped her breasts in both hands and tugged her back against his chest. “Yourskin is so soft. I could eat you up.”

“Ihope you do.”

“Oh,I plan on it, baby. I’m gonna eat you until you scream my name.”

“Idon’t think it’ll take much.”

“Good.”He licked the side of her neck before he nipped at her collarbone. “I can’twait to feel you ripple around me.”

Heskimmed one hand down her abdomen, flicking open the button at her waist on hisway to pulling her zipper down. The moment he had her pants parted, he slippedone hand under the waistband of her underwear to push a finger deep inside herpussy. “You’re wet, darlin’.”

“You’vemade me wet, Joel, with your sexy voice, wicked tongue, and demanding nips.”

“You’llbe wetter before I’m done with you.”

“Promises,promises.”

“Ohyeah.”

Shewidened her stance to allow him better access as he ran his wet finger over herclit. Her whole body shook. The man was wicked. Sex on astick.

Theelastic of her bra gave way to his insistent fingers, loosening around herbreasts until it barely hung on her body. She drew the cups down over herbreasts, letting it slide completely off to the floor at her feet. “You need tobe undressed, too.”

“Iwill. For now, I’m enjoying your beautiful breasts. I love your nipples. Rosy, hard, and standing straight out. I wish I had a set ofnipple clamps for them.”

“Nippleclamps?”

“Haveyou ever had them on?”

“No,but I’ve heard of them.”

“Yoursare perfect for a set.”

“Thanks.”

Hepinched her nipples, causing her to close her eyes and moan from deep in herchest. The next thing she felt was his hands on her hips, pushing her pants tothe floor. “Step out.”

Doingwhat he told her felt natural, but a little scary. She wasn’t one to takeorders very well normally. She started to turn around until he held her inplace.

“Uh-uh.”He pulled her arms behind her, binding her wrist with his hands. “I like my sexa little rough. How about you?”

“Whatdo you mean by rough?”

“Spankings,hard sex. Fuck me like you mean it.”

“Spankings?I’ve never liked those.”

“Everhad an erotic spanking?”

“Can’tsay I have.” She shivered as he ran his hands fromher breasts to her hips, and then smacked her on the right butt cheek. The groanescaping her mouth surprised her. Maybe she did like erotic spankings after allor spankings in general.

Hechuckled as he did it again. “Sounds to me like you enjoy a little pain withyour sex.”

“Maybe.I’ve never had anyone do the things you’re doing to me before.”

“It’llbe a brand new experience for you then.”

Sherubbed her burning butt cheeks against the roughness of his denim jeans. Shewondered what it would feel like if he really got going?

“Anothertime.”

Damn the man! Why does it seem likehe knows what I’m thinkin’?

“Youreyes are very expressive. I can usually tell what you’re thinking by seeingyour eyes. Right now, you’re turned on by what I did.” He pushed his fingersinto her pussy. “You can’t hide your body’s response.”

“Howcan you see my eyes? You’re behind me.”

“Looktoward the dresser.”

Shehadn’t noticed it before but a large mirror reflected their bodies in the mosterotic way she’d ever seen. She frowned as she saw the pooch of her stomach andthe roundness of her hips.

Hishanded landed a blow to her thigh. “Ouch.”

“Thatwasn’t meant to turn you on. Punishment comes in different forms. You won’tfrown at this body when you look in the mirror. It’s mine for now and I lovehow it looks.”

“But…”

Hesmacked her thigh again. “Mine. Do you hear me?”

“Yes.”

“Nowlook at it as I see it. Beautiful, high breasts.” He cupped her breasts,lifting them. “Gorgeous rosy nipples.” He pinched her nipples between his thumband first finger. “Mine.”

“Yours.”

Hishands skimmed down her abdomen before resting on her hips. “These hips arecurvy with just the right amount of padding. I won’t have to worry about breakingsomething if I fuck you hard from behind.”

Shetried to see herself from his point of view. Her breasts were pretty, stillpert with dusky, pink nipples. Her hips were rounded, but those were supposedto be good for child birthing. Long legs. She’d heard men liked long legs. Shewasn’t fat, really but maybe a little plump.

“You’rea beautiful woman, Mesa.”

Hestood behind her. A head taller than her five foot eightinches making him over six feet. His dark hair curled slightly at theend resting near the nape of his neck. Glacier blue eyes stared back at her inthe mirror, dilated widely, and burning hot with lust. They reminded her of ablue flame. The calluses on his hands abrading her skin felt luscious on herbody. His five o’clock shadow scraped her shoulders as he rubbed his chin alongthe slope.

“Cold?”he whispered, running his tongue down her neck.

“No.Excited would be a better word.”

“Good.I want you excited.” He stepped around her and took her hand, drawing hercloser to the big bed in the corner.

Witha little tug, he sat her on the edge. Now, he stood directly in front of her,his belt buckle even with her face. Should she touch him? Help him undress? Shewasn’t sure of the next move.

“Onlydo as I tell you. I’ll make sure you know exactly what to do.”

“Okay.”

“Unbucklemy belt.”
