“Anything you want my mouth on, you’re going to have to present to me.”

“I don’t understand.”

“Do you want me to lick your nipples?”

“Yes,” she said desperately.

“Then bring them to me.”

Feeling a bit shy, she climbed slowly up until her breast was over his mouth. His tongue flicked over it, sending a bolt of need straight to her core. The pleasure from each pass of his tongue made her twitch, and she struggled to hold herself up.

He turned his head to reach the other one and she called out as desperate desire pooled between her thighs.

“Don’t you want to feel my mouth other places?” He flicked over her nipple again.

“Yes. I do.”

“Between your legs?” He drew her nipple into his mouth, making need throb in that very place.

She nodded eagerly. “So much.”

“Then bring it to me.”

“I don’t…” She didn’t even know what to say, let alone how to do what he was asking.

“Timidity doesn’t suit you. Climb on up here and straddle me.”

Her breath left her in a whoosh.

“Unless you’ve turned bashful and would rather we just go to sleep.”

“You,” she said, swatting his chest. Sleep was definitely not what she wanted. She pushed up onto her knees beside him. “Show me what to do. I don’t want to hurt you.”

He chuckled. “You’re not going to hurt me. One knee on either side of my head.”

The image that his words conjured pushed her into action. She stood over him. “Which way am I supposed to be?”

He reached up and wrapped his hands around her waist. “I’ll help you. Just kneel. Slide your feet under my shoulders, just like that, and hold onto the headboard.”

She knelt above him. This couldn’t be right. But then his tongue flicked over her, ripping a moan from her throat. The pleasure vanquished her reticence.

“Don’t make me reach for it.” He licked her again, sending another bolt of pleasure through her. “Sit down.”

“Sit down? I’ll crush you.”

“Then I’ll die a happy man. Show me how much you want it, Christina.”

She did want it. She pushed her knees apart, lowering herself onto his waiting mouth, and was met with sheer ecstasy. He groaned, as if he’d also been desperate for it. She gripped the headboard as a storm of pleasure careened through her. How was this even real?

Every inch of her hummed with sensation. Nothing had ever felt so incredible, and his obvious enthusiasm dispersed any lingering reluctance. A shiver raced through her body, quickly turning into shaking as she neared her impending release. When he found just the right spot, its sudden arrival was violent, triggering an involuntary scream. And another with its second wave. It was amazing. He was amazing. Slowly, the gale calmed, but she still trembled.

His hands were around her waist, once more, helping her to move back and sit on his chest. His thumbs rubbed gently against her stomach. Ordinarily, that probably would have tickled, but perhaps her body wasn’t capable of feeling that after such an explosion of sensation. Her breathing was labored, and she still gripped the headboard.

“Are you ready to lie down now?”

She nodded, but wasn’t entirely sure how.

“Let me help you, sweetheart. Let go of the headboard, I’ve got you.”
