"How did you know-"

"I've read the books." He pressed the pad of his hand to the small of her back and had her groaning.

"Don't stop," she murmured.

"Hmm. Turn around."

"No-"

"Be quiet and do as you're told."

"You're really getting on my nerves with these commands. I'm not-"

He simply turned her himself and proceeded to take off her clothes.

"I'm not having sex with you-"

"Is that all you can think of?" He tsked mildly as he unhooked her bra and tossed it aside, leaving her with just her panties on. Pouring some more oil into his palm, he rubbed it in and started from her throat.

"Relax," he murmured. "You're tensed."

"No wonder, with you bossing me around like that – Oh!" She closed her eyes as he slid his long fingers down her throat.

"How's that?"

"Wonderful." Her moan was turning his insides into a fiery furnace. Ignoring the rush of desire that was climbing steadily through his body, he continued the journey down hers. When he circled the nipple, her eyes flew open and focused on his face.

"How's that?"

She had to swallow several times before she could respond, and even so, it came out as a croak. "I – it's nice."

His brows lifted. "Nice? I'm not doing something right then, if that's the only adjective you can come up with. Let's see." He reached for the oil again and rubbed it slowly, methodically between his palms until it was warm. "How about now?" He reshaped her breasts, weighing them in his hands, his thumbs flicking over the rigid nipples. "Can you come up with a more appropriate term?"

"Yes. No." She shook her head to clear the persistent fog over her brain. "Daigo-"

"I'm still waiting." He was circling the nipple, his intense dark eyes watching her face.

"I can't."

"Try," he insisted huskily, stroking the nipples and then rolling them between his thumbs and forefingers. "Remember the first time I made love to you?" His voice had deepened, thickened.

"Yes," she whispered hoarsely. She felt as if she was on the verge of a cliff, her body ready to float free.

"I used wine then."

"And strawberry." The memory had heat climbing rapidly through her already highly charged body.

"You were shocked." He continued his onslaught on her senses. "You said you never experienced anything like that before. You came before I was even halfway through. I'd pleasure just seeing the dazed look on your beautiful face. You were filled with so much passion that it bowled me over. It was then I realized that I had to be with you again."

"We went all night."

He smiled whimsically. "Yes, we did." Releasing her nipples, he trailed his fingers over her swollen belly. She saw when his expression changed.

"You're carrying my children inside you." His throat was so tight it was aching. "It's the most intimate thing that can ever happen between a man and a woman. You humble me." He cupped her belly, rubbing, rubbing, and then jolting when he felt the response from the movements beneath his fingers.

His eyes flew to her face in wonder.

"Daigo." Desire was like a sword slicing through her body and turning it into a mass of nerve endings.
