She found him in the great room with its tall ceilings, movable wall of windows and fantastic views of downtown LA. He was sitting on a barstool, staring out at the pool. His laptop was on the breakfast bar nearby, its screen saver engaged. How long had he been sitting here staring off into space?
“So what’s it gonna be?” she asked, stepping into his line of sight. Setting her hands on her hips, she walked toward him with a sultry swagger. “I’m yours to command.”
“I’m not really feeling it today.”
Seeing him shut down after everything they’d been through these last couple weeks worried her, but she refused to let him see her concern. “Oh, no,” she said, setting her fingertip against his chest and pressing just hard enough to drive her point home. “It’s my day to spoil you. We’re having sex. That’s all there is to it.”
“Fine,” he grumbled, crossing his arms over his chest.
“That’s the attitude.” For some reason his annoyance sparked her libido. “It’s your day. What do you want me to do?”
He scowled at her. “I suppose you could start by taking your clothes off.”
His grumpiness flowed off her like water cascading over a well-waxed car. “Do you want me to just get naked or do you want a show?”
Her words got through to him because his eyes flared briefly before narrowing.
“What sort of a show??
??
“I’m yours to command.” To further unsettle him, she put her palms together and bowed her head. “How may I be of service?”
When she peered up at him, he was regarding her in helpless amusement. At last she’d gotten through to him. To further tickle his funny bone, she gave him a silly little shimmy of her shoulders, her version of the burlesque dancers of old. And then, inspiration struck. She began to sing.
She strutted around the room, dropping her T-shirt off her shoulder in a parody of seduction as she sang “Let Me Entertain You.”
It was working. His lips were twitching uncontrollably. She grabbed a pillow off the white sectional, put her back to him and stripped off her top.
Setting the pillow against her chest, she turned and faced him. One at a time she slid her bra straps down her arm as she kept singing with an exaggerated swagger.
The gleam in his eyes gave her the encouragement she needed to pop the clasp on her bra and slip the thing from her body. She twirled it around her finger a few times before launching it in his direction. He caught it and draped it over his shoulder.
“If the album tanks,” she said with a sassy grind. “I may audition for a burlesque show.”
“I’ll be in the front row opening night.”
She beamed at him. “‘I’m very versatile.’”
Once again she turned her back to him. This time she held the pillow out from her chest while she unbuttoned her pants one-handed. She spun, grabbed a second pillow, spun, held the second pillow over her backside while she awkwardly skimmed out of her pants and then with a laugh turned to face him holding both pillows over her body.
“That was quite complicated,” she said, breathing hard from her exertions.
“You did a great job.”
She did a great bump and grind all the way to his chair. When she was standing before him, wearing a big smile and a couple of pillows, she finished her song.
Then she tossed the pillows to either side and threw her arms around him. Her lips found his and a second later his hands coasted over her skin. He got to his feet, fingers sliding beneath the elastic of her underwear. Cupping her bare bottom, he lifted her against his erection.
She moaned and scraped her nails against his scalp. She opened for him and his tongue swept in to devour her. The kiss started hot and became incendiary as he skimmed her underwear down her thighs and lifted her into the air. She wrapped her thighs around his waist and let him carry her to the bedroom.
He lowered her to the bed and quickly stripped off his clothes. Even though tonight was about spoiling him, she took pleasure in his beautiful, powerful body bared to her greedy gaze.
Naked. Aroused. Male. It just didn’t get better than this. Color darkened his cheekbones as he set his knee on the bed and came toward her.
“Tonight is all about you,” she reminded him.
Her fingers ached to touch him, so she reached out and smoothed her palm down his chest, over his washboard abs, before clasping him in a firm grip. He sucked in a breath through clenched teeth. Now that she had his full attention, she gazed up at him.
