“That’s a really good description.”
I looked straight into her vivid blue eyes. “Was tonight truly your first orgasm?”
She nodded. “There were times, after a particularly vivid dream, when I thought I’d had one in my sleep, but those were nothing compared to tonight.”
I couldn’t help puffing out my chest a little. “You never masturbated?”
“No. I found men attractive, of course. But an orgasm, or sex, or a man, wasn’t anything I thought I’d ever want. Until now.”
“What made you change your mind?”
She picked up a pillow and smacked me with it. “You did! But you already know that.”
I puffed my chest out even farther.
She sighed. “This has been a wonderful night, but I want you to know that I don’t expect anything from you.”
“Meaning…?”
“I’m not the kind of woman who thinks we have some kind of relationship now, just because we enjoy kissing each other and…”
“Giving each other orgasms?”
“Yeah,” she said shyly. “That.”
She was gorgeous in the moonlight. Still naked, she glowed, her pale skin luminous and opulent. Her countenance was relaxed, still showing her afterglow. Next time she came, I wanted to see her in the sunlight. I wanted to see how rosy pink her cheeks and body got when all that blood was flowing through her.
“Are you saying you don’t want a relationship?”
“No. Not exactly. I never thought I wanted a relationship, and just because we’ve had a good time together doesn’t make it a relationship. I know that. I don’t expect anything from you.”
“So you do want a relationship?”
“No. Not exactly.”
I cupped her glowing cheeks. “Ruby, you’re going to have to actually say what you mean here. You’re talking out of both sides of your mouth.”
She sighed. “I don’t mean to. I just mean this. I don’t expect anything from you. I’m not ready for it anyway.”
“What if I am?”
She arched her eyebrows, her eyes wide.
Had I truly just said that? Anna and I had broken up two years ago, and I’d had a few dates and one-nighters, but I hadn’t been looking for anything substantial. I hadn’t found it either.
But here it was now, staring at me with wide blue eyes.
Ruby Lee.
Detective.
Virgin.
Full of integrity.
Beautiful.
And bombshell sexy, whether she knew it or not.
