She lifts her hips, and I pull trousers and knickers down together, then toss them somewhere behind me.

Mandy is now sitting naked on the edge of the bed while I am still wearing far too many clothes.

I approve of this arrangement.

I kiss the inside of one knee.

Then the other.

“Peter.”

I move higher.

Her fingers slide into my hair.

“Peter.”

“Yes?”

“Don’t you dare take all night.”

I smile against her thigh.

“Watch me.”

Her fingers tighten.

I keep going slowly, kissing my way higher until I am close enough to feel the heat of her.

Then I stop.

She exhales sharply.

“Peter.”

I look up.

Her expression makes me grin.

“Do you need something?”

“You know exactly what I need.”

“I’m enjoying the clarity.”

Her heel catches lightly against my back. “Get on with it.”

“Yes, Doctor.”

I finally put my mouth on her.

Her head tips back.

That reaction alone makes the teasing worthwhile.

I keep it slow at first, learning what makes her thighs tense around me and what makes her fingers tighten in my hair. Every time I find the right pressure, she shifts closer.

“Stop teasing.”
