The stars, so much more visible away from city lights, speckled the clear, dark sky like white splatter paint on a black backdrop.The moon glowed brightly and crickets and night creatures made their calls.He could spend hours here.With Dez.

Dez threw her head back on a laugh, her pearly white teeth glimmering in the flames licking through the stones of the fireplace imbedded in the table between them.She combed her hair over her shoulder and glanced up and to the left, the look demure and naughty.

He was still reeling.“Seriously, I have to say that’s the strangest sex toy I’ve ever heard of.”

She lifted a beautifully arched eyebrow.“Don’t knock it till you try it.”

“Well, I don’t think there’s anything I’d want to put in my ass.”

A hoot of laughter echoed from Dez’s throat, and the red tint climbing her neck did all kinds of things to his dick.

“It’s not for that region, Aiden.”

He took another sip of his wine then put the glass back down and leaned his elbow on the table.So much for taking sex off the table.There was no way he was letting go of this topic now that she’d started it.“Run this by me again, because I really don’t think I’m grasping it.”

She curled her fingers against her lips, her eyes shining with excitement but also so darn hesitant.The combination was alluring and sexy as fucking hell.

“They’re crystal dildos.Non-porous ones, of course.”

“Like a solid stone, or...”

“Yeah, like a smooth, polished stone that’s used for manual stimulation.”Her hands floated in the air, outlining this wonder product.

“It does what exactly?I mean, what’s the point of it being a crystal if it does the same job as a dildo?”

The blush on her cheeks settled to a soft pink.“Well, for one thing, it’s called a yoni wand.Before you use it you set your intention for it, whether it’s to bring clarity or balance to your life or things like that,” she said, shrugging.“For example, clear quartz is a popular one and is used to amplify energy.Plus, a yoni wand is more body safe than other materials, and the cool stone feels really nice and is easy to clean—and hypo-allergenic.”The words tumbled from her lips matter-of-factly, as if she’d given the speech more than once.

He scratched his temple to avoid adjusting his cock.Jesus.The image of Dez laid out with a crystal wand in her pussy was more than he could handle.“I have to say I’m fascinated.”

She propped her elbow on the armrest of her chair and leaned her chin against her fist.“Just think what you can add to your bedroom technique.The ladies will come running back.”

The only lady he wanted to drive wild was sitting right in front of him.He folded his arms across his chest.“Seems to me there’s only one woman who doesn’t want back in my bed.”

Her gaze dipped and a subtle, shy smile played at her mouth before lifting her eyes to him again.She leaned forward and brought the glass of wine to her lips, sipping.Then she pulled the glass away so it hovered inches from her mouth, and her eyes darkened.“Who said I don’t?”

Just like that a wall of fire burned from his head to his dick.Desire pulsed along his skin, screaming at him to make a move.Hanks words entered his mind:keep it professional.

Fuck, he was so screwed.

He hesitated.

He’d taken her cue once and had had the best night of his life.Then she’d run.“Careful now,” he said, his voice thick with need.“You know what happens when the wine does the talking.”

She set down her glass with a clink.“It’s not the wine.I’ve only had one glass.”Her stare was hard and determined.

“You’re going to need to do more than that to convince me I won’t have a repeat of Sunday morning.”

She rested her hands on her knees, her face purely innocent.

His heart thudded in his chest with every second that ticked by.The release his body so desperately needed lying in her hands.The chance to get his hands on her again was almost too much to bear.He didn’t move.Didn’t breathe in case he swayed her decision.

She uncrossed her legs and stood.Her dress floated around her slight frame as she approached his chair.Her hand drifted to his shoulder and stroked its way to the back of his neck.

He swallowed, and his skin buzzed with the need to grab her and pull her to his lap.He curled his hands into fists to keep them steady.

She lowered her ass to his thighs and leaned her chest against his, bringing her lips within kissing distance.“Come to the bedroom and I’ll show you,” she purred.

Fire roared inside his body.His fingers flexed, but still, he didn’t touch her.“Is that what you want, Desiree?Because if I take you to my bedroom, neither of us is leaving all night.”
