She chuckled like a goddess confident in her power over her mere mortal man.

“Is there a problem?” She slid her hand farther up his thigh, and it was all Adrian could do to keep his hips from arching off the couch.

He nodded, unable to find words.

“What is it?”

He took her hand and removed it from his thigh so he could think again. Holding it loosely in his own hand, he leaned back to look her in the eye. “I promised I wouldn’t do anything you didn’t like.”

“Yes, you did. Is that a problem?”

He nodded. “I don’t know what you don’t like. Or if you’ll like what I think you’d like.”

She considered the problem carefully and he barely breathed. There was no way she was as turned on as he was, but he was hopeful that she was a little curious. Enough to give him a chance.

“Why don’t you tell me what you think I’d like, and we’ll see?”

He raised his other hand to her face, needing to see her eyes, to read her emotions as he laid his hopes and needs bare. “I’d like to kiss you.”

“I’d like that, too,” she answered quickly.

Adrian shook his head. “I’m not done.” He brushed his thumb over her bare lips. “I’d like to kiss you here and here.”

He moved his thumb with his words, tracing her cheek and down her neck, where her pulse beat madly beneath his fingers, despite her calm expression. So shewasgood at hiding her feelings.

“I’d like to take my kisses even lower.” He didn’t break eye contact as he moved his hand lower to toy with the edge of her sweater against her ample cleavage. He moved his thumb to the nipple he could feel hard as stone even through the layers and teased her, flicking back and forth. “I’d like to pull off your sweater, take off your bra, and kiss your gorgeous breasts.”

Her eyes flickered away at that. First barrier. He took his hand away, and she looked back, questions and unspoken uncertainty in her eyes.

“You didn’t like something about that, so I won’t.” He clarified his intentions, and moved his hand back to her cheek and safer ground.

“I liked most of that. I just… I don’t…”

“Whatever it is, tell me. I want to make this good for you.”

“I don’t want to take my clothes off.” She blurted it out. He could see the shame filling her eyes, and he hated it with a passion he didn’t fully understand. “I don’t want you to see me.”

How could she feel ashamed of any part of her beautiful body? Maybe if he could pull her back into the heat of her own response, she’d forget long enough to let him show her shame had no business between them. “So me kissing your breasts, licking you, squeezing you, teasing you, is okay if I leave your sweater on?” She nodded, and he resumed his verbal seduction. “Can I pull your sweater down for that? If I leave it on?” She nodded again.

He hooked a finger into the low neckline of the sweater that was keeping her hidden. God, she tempted him. He planted teasing kisses on her chest before continuing his verbal mission.

“And if I wanted to touch you here? Kiss you here? Could I?”

He slid his hands lower to her hips and the top of her thighs, letting his fingers tease the space where her thighs compressed tightly together.

“If I wanted to run my hands over your beautiful ass to pull you closer to me, would you like that?”

She lowered her lids, and he couldn’t tell if she was overwhelmed by the image or if she was hiding again. She hesitated to answer.

“If you’re not sure, would you let me try to convince you?” Her eyes snapped open, and the wariness was written all over her face. He had to erase it. “I’d like to show you how every inch of your body turns me on.”

“I’d like to see that, too.”

That approval was all he needed. Clothes stay on? No problem. He was up for the challenge. Literally. Straight up and throbbing. He went back to the beginning, taking her lips in a gentle kiss that he poured all of his longing into. He’d been waiting years for this. His kisses down her neck drew shivers of pleasure in response, and he tried to chase them with his tongue. When she sat up and reached behind her to undo her bra strap, he knew he’d won.

“Dios mio, querida.You are so…” He couldn’t help but gasp as he tugged her sweater and bra down low enough to expose one of her breasts.

“Big?” she supplied with a grimace.
