СКАЧАТЬ opened her eyes to find him studying her. She draped an arm over her damp forehead and sighed. “I’m relaxed now.”

      He released another low, grainy laugh. “You’re almost too hot to handle. But I’m going to do it to you again.”

      “Adrien, I.”

      Can’t handle any more. She had no choice but to try as Adrien began touching her as ardently as he had before.

      “I want to use my mouth on you,” he said as he slid a finger inside her. “But I’ll save that for later, when I know you’re ready.”

      If he did use his mouth, Selene had no doubt she would dissolve into the mattress beneath her back. And she wasn’t concerned with later. She was focused only on the here and now as Adrien worked his spell, speaking to her in a low steady voice, telling her how sweet she was and describing what he was doing to her in very detailed terms. In a matter of moments, he had her back on the brink, ready to plummet again. When he whispered, “I’m going to make you scream,” that was all it took.

      Selene didn’t exactly scream when the orgasm hit, but she did groan. A long, almost mournful groan that she couldn’t believe actually came from her. She had no idea what he had done, only that she was practically panting by the time the sensations subsided. Then suddenly Adrien was next to her, enfolding her in his arms, soothing her with gentle kisses on her lips and cheeks.

      “Where did you learn to do that?” she finally managed to say.

      He brushed her hair from her forehead and kissed her there. “I studied tantric sex. Since then, I’ve done some modification and experimenting. And I’ve practiced.”

      “With several partners, I take it.” Something that didn’t set well with Selene.

      “No. Only a chosen few.”

      That relieved her somewhat. “Should I be flattered?”

      “Yes, you should. I’m very selective. And I always begin with the singular purpose of pleasing a woman. I’ve only scratched the surface with you.”

      He’d scratched a few itches she hadn’t realized she’d had until now. “I’m not sure I can take much more of that.”

      He rose up on one elbow, using his fist to support his jaw while keeping his free hand idling on her breast. “You can. But right now, you need to sleep.”

      Selene could only gape when Adrien left the bed and started toward the door. “Wait a minute. That’s it?”

      He faced her again. “That wasn’t enough?”

      “Actually, I thought we were going to …” She wasn’t quite sure how to say it.

      He leaned back against the door. “Anyone can climb on and have it over in a matter of minutes, Selene. But not everyone takes the time to get to know their partner’s body. I want to know yours before I’m inside you. And I’m only getting started.”

      Then he left the room, the sounds of his footsteps and the opening and closing door echoing in Selene’s ears.

      Adrien Morrell was a sexual savant bent on demonstrating his genius on her. And she would continue to be a willing study, as long as he eventually gave in and gave her his all.

      Selene awoke the next morning, still restless even though she’d slept remarkably well, thanks to Adrien’s undivided attention. She couldn’t recall the last time she’d been so relaxed, even if she hadn’t gotten everything from him that she’d wanted. Hopefully that would be included in the next phase. In the meantime, she had work to do.

      She went through every room on the first floor, taking inventory of the furnishings as well as jotting down ideas and making a few preliminary sketches. She wanted to retain as much of the original atmosphere as possible, which meant eventually scouring antique stores to fill in wherever necessary, unless she found more items in the attic. She made a note to explore there in the next few days.

      By the time afternoon rolled around, her head began to spin when she considered how much she needed to do with a house this size, including refurbishing the flooring and updating the kitchen. Right now, she needed to get out of the house, if only for a while. She also needed to see Adrien, the reason why she set out for his office before she drove into town.

      When she knocked, he called, “Come in,” in a gruff voice.

      She opened the door to find him standing with his back to her, one hand holding back the curtain as he stared out the window. His white shirt was rolled up at the sleeves and it appeared he might be wearing the same pair of slacks he’d worn last night. Had he slept in his clothes? Had he slept at all?

      She cleared her throat to garner his attention. “I’m about to go into town for a while, if that’s okay with you.”

      He let the curtain drop and slowly turned to face her. His rumpled unbuttoned shirt hung open, revealing his incredible chest. “You don’t need my permission to leave the house.”

      She centered her gaze on his coveted medallion resting flush against his chest. “I thought you might have something you need me to do first.”

      When she forced her gaze back to his face, along came the suggestive look he flaunted so well. “I do, but we’ll save that for later.” He rounded the desk and leaned back against it. “Unless you’re reconsidering after last night.”

      Selene fumbled in her purse for the car keys, unsuccessful in her first two attempts to find them. “I’m leaving all options open. In the meantime, is there anything you need me to pick up from the store?”

      “Do we need condoms?”

      She gripped the keys tightly in her palm as a hot blush raided her cheeks. “As far as birth control is concerned, no, I’m on the Pill. But we do have other things to consider.”

      “I’ve made more than a few mistakes in my time, Selene, but carelessness during sex isn’t one of them. Trust me, you don’t have to worry that I have some sort of disease. I wouldn’t do that to you.”

      “The same holds true for me.” She had spent several months after she’d tossed Richard out making certain her ex-husband hadn’t left her with any reminders of his infidelity, other than bitter memories.

      “Good,” he said. “When I make love to you completely, I don’t want anything between us at all.”

      “It’s nice to know you still plan to make love to me, hopefully before I’m too old to care.” Where on earth had that come from? Apparently from that recently discovered area of her brain known as “sex central.”

      He gave her a smile as he pushed off the desk. “You are an impatient little minx, aren’t you?”

      She was now. “I should go so I’ll be home before dark.”

      He moved in front of her and drew a line down her jaw with his fingertip. “You want to get home to have more of what you had last night.”

      Very true, Selene decided. But she wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of knowing that. “I was thinking СКАЧАТЬ
