Vectra heard him impossibly close behind her. She turned in time to find herself against the side of one of the towering bookcases in the living room doorway.
Qasim dipped his head, at the same time trailing his hand down the soft fabric of Vectra’s dress. Then, he tugged up her thigh, hugging it against his hip.
Vectra sealed herself against him, rolling her hips until she was perfectly aligned with his shaft. The organ had rapidly made the transition from semi to rock-hard beneath the fine material of his sandalwood-colored trousers. Eagerly, she angled her head and outlined the felt-smooth curve of his mouth with the tip of her tongue.
Her tentative initiation of the kiss was drowned beneath a robust growl that did weird things to her stomach. The erotic roll of her hips became more insistent, a grind that rubbed her clit along the ridge of his sex. The action sent explosive spasms through her core.
Qasim showed mercy, massaging the hand that supported her thigh against his hip. Strong fingers walked the length of the limb until they brushed the middle of her lace panties.
She shuddered in reaction and welcomed the new layer of pleasure. Their kiss became throatier. His tongue worked feverishly inside her mouth as if to slake a deep-seated lust. Vectra loosed faint, tortured whimpers and met Qasim’s demanding kiss with her own. Her nails raked the crisp whiskers shading his jaw.
Vectra was so absorbed in the kiss that she lost track of what his skillful fingers were doing. She flinched when one breached the quivering folds of her sex.
Qasim suddenly broke the kiss, sharp curiosity sweltering in his midnight stare. “What?” he probed.
“Sorry.”
“Did I hurt you?”
“No, Sim—”
“Have I been hurting you, V?” He tilted his head, lowering it just a fraction in order to look at her more directly.
A delighted chill countered the heat that had been ravishing Vectra when he shortened her name. Qasim squeezed her thigh, giving it a gentle jerk that centered her.
“Just tender.” She let him see her discomfort over the admission. “It had been a while, a long while. Years...” she confessed.
He grinned, the action narrowing his gaze and accentuating the draw of his dark eyes. “That’s got to be the best thing I’ve heard in a long time.”
“Hmph.” She wasn’t convinced. “Trust me when I say it sounds way better than it feels.”
Qasim let her thigh slip away from his hip but kept her close to his chest in order to lift her until she was at his eye level.
“Let’s eat,” he suggested.
Vectra refused to budge. “Did I turn you off?”
His thumb skirted her cheek and the curve of her mouth. “You’d laugh if you knew how impossible it’d be for you to do that.” He pressed his forehead to hers.
“Sim?” He still had her confused.
“I’ve been wanting to ask whether I was hurting you for a while now.”
“And you didn’t, because?” She sounded as if she knew the answer.
His lashes fluttered as though he were aggravated with himself. “I didn’t want you to think I was asking because I was hung up on what happened to you.”
“But aren’t you?”
“Damn right, I am.” His voice was a simmering growl that dripped with menacing promise. “It’d make me very happy to have a few moments alone with your ex.” He squeezed his eyes shut in an effort to stifle the rage beginning its slow rumble in his gut.
He focused. “We’ve, um...we’ve been going at it pretty steady for the last few days. You haven’t complained, but I–I wondered.”
Her smile was naughtiness and satisfaction. “I didn’t complain because I had no complaints. I wanted this, and you gave me exactly what I wanted.”
Vectra’s warm brown eyes narrowed, her expression sharpening with wickedly playful intent. “If you apologize for that or even think about tamping down any of that amazing stamina of yours, I’ll seriously consider murdering you.”
Qasim’s dark eyes crinkled adorably as his laughter built. It burst forth, full and honest, as he nodded his acceptance.
“So?” He pulled her higher up his arms and led the way to the dining room. “Supper and then sex?”
“Mmm...” Vectra scrunched her nose. “I’m not too wild about that sequence.”
Qasim nodded and deftly shifted direction toward his bedroom. “Whatever the lady wants.”
