She giggles. “Clarification: anything butthat.”

I didsomething tonight that I’ve never done. Well, I did several somethings that I’ve never done, but I’m talking about one in particular: reading aloud to EmmaLia.

I found it to be an odd request, but she says that she loves my Cajun accent. Claims it turns her on, so how could I say no when she asked me to readThe Thorn Birdstoher?

I come to a good stopping place, and my cock knows what’s going to happen next. The fucker comes to attention at the very moment that I close the book. “Oh, that Father Ralph. He has been a badboy.”

“Are they going to be together oneday?”

“It’ll ruin the story if I tell youthat.”

“He loves Meggie, and he’s going to leave the priesthood for her. I know heis.”

Emma Lia is a romantic. I see it clear as day, so I guess that she would hope forthat.

“You’ll have to keep reading to findout.”

“I told my nana that I was readingThe Thorn Birdsand she told me that there is a television miniseries. I checked, and iTunes sells it. I’m planning to watch it after I finish the book, but the damn thing is so freaking old. It came out in the early 80’s.”

I’m amused that she sees that as ancient. “You are aware that I came out in the early 80’s too?1982.”

She giggles. “I sometimes forget that you’re fourteen years older thanme.”

“Do you consider me old?” I’m thirty-six. That’s closer to forty than thirty. I’m pretty sure that I thought that was old when I was herage.

“You’re not old to me, Tristan. Not even alittle.”

She’s stretched out on the couch, eyes closed. Her back is propped against the arm of the couch and her feet are resting on my lap. Her feet are small and pretty, like every other part of her. Sexy even, with the black polish on her toes that has slightly grown away from thecuticle.

I pick up her right foot and apply light circular pressure to her heel. I massage it and delight in the quiet little moans that come from her slightly parted lips. “Mmm… that feels reallygood.”

Surrendering to an unexpected urge, I lift her foot to my mouth and suck her big toe lightly, swirling my tongue around it. She inhales sharply and lifts her head from the arm of the sofa to look atme.

I suck her middle toes and her breathing increases.That’s when I realize that this is turning her on. Which turns meon.

Her eyes are on mine when I take her other foot from my lap and give it the same oral treatment.Her toes curl at the touch of my tongue and her breathing is now panting. Her tongue darts out to lick her lips as she watches my mouth and blood rushes to fill mycock.

I swear to God that I’m perpetually hard when I’m with thiswoman.

I return her foot to my lap and slowly glide my hand up her leg beneath her sundress. My fingers reach the inside of her thigh and the muscles there are quivering with tension as I approach that sweet cunt between her legs. And because I want to tease her and also myself, I barely brush the silk fabric of her panties over the outer edge of her pussylips.

I would fuck her right here and now, but Ray hasn’t left for the night yet, and I’m not down with any other man seeing what I consider mine. And then there’s also Claudia toconsider.

“I think that we should take this to thebedroom.”

She nods. “I think sotoo.”

“Go upstairs and put on the ivory chemise without the panties. And take care of the music. I’ll give you a few minutes to get ready and then I’ll come and joinyou.”

“Allright.”

Emma Lia gets ups and walks toward the staircase. “Bebelle…”

She stops and turns to look at me. “Yes?”

“My bedroomtonight.”
