Page 41 of How to Ruin a Rake

“You are the best kisser.”

“I know.” He shoved down his breeches, and Allegra got her first look at his fully erect cock. “Perhaps you should apologize.” He looked down at his cock. “On your knees.”

Allegra studied him. “You’re quite big.”

“I know,” he said again. He slicked a hand down his already wet shaft. “But I’ll make you ready for me, and you can help.”

“How so?”

His smile was pure lust. “You liked it when I licked and sucked you. My cock likes the same treatment.”

“You’ll allow me to do that?”

Max raised an eyebrow. “My dear girl. As long as you don’t bite, I expect it.”

He sat with his back against the headboard and looked at her. “If you crawl between my thighs, you will have all the access you require.”

“May I touch you first?”

“Be my guest.”

Allegra reached out and ran her finger down the thick shaft of Max’s cock. Unlike the sculptures she’d viewed, it was not a pretty sight, but it was far more interesting. To her surprise, it reacted to her touch, arching toward her, and pulsing, which somehow made her body clench with need. She gently wrapped her fingers around his shaft and squeezed.

Max made a guttural sound. “Be gentle with me, fair maiden.”

“Oh.” Allegra eased her grip and bent to drop a kiss on the wet tip. “I do apologize.”

“If you work me too hard in your fist, I’ll come, and then we’ll have to start all over again.”

“Is that not a good thing?” Allegra asked as she played her fingers up and down his cock. “Or can you only perform once?”

“I can perform all night,” Max said.

“Then may I continue?” Allegra asked. “I am rather enjoying tormenting you.”

“Be my guest.”

She looked up at him. “I must admit that I am unsure how to proceed.”

“Place your hand on my shaft again,” Max said. He interlaced his fingers with hers. “Now move with me.”

Allegra did as he asked, learning the motion he liked and the pressure he needed to make him curse and gasp under his breath.

“Now you.” He was breathing heavily when he let go of his shaft. “And if you wish to suck me into your mouth, I wouldn’t object.”

“Suck you.” Allegra raised her eyebrows. “Hmm … ​I think I might enjoy that immensely.” She compromised by wrapping her fingers loosely around the base of his cock and carefully took the tip of him into her mouth. “Mmm …” She hummed through her nose, and he groaned, his hips rolling forward, urging her to take more. She willingly obliged.

Soon she had established a rather nice rhythm that she was quite proud of and a deepening confidence in her ability to take him even farther down her throat.

“Allegra …” His voice sounded strained. “I’ll come if you keep doing that.” He’d barely said the words before his hips bucked once more, and he released, making her have to swallow rather fast.

“Sorry,” he gasped. “I lost control.”

“Good,” Allegra said as she wiped her mouth. “I was rather worried that I’d be the only one.”

His slow smile made her want to purr and start all over again. “You are doing very well, my lady.”

“Yes, I’ve always believed that enthusiasm is a fair match for lack of experience. I have listened closely to my married female friends when they speak about their husbands and lovers.”
