The next thing I knew, I was completely naked in front of a man for the first time in my life. And despite the uncertainty I felt about what I was supposed to do next, I didn’t feel embarrassed by my nudity. I knew that was all due to the way Blaze was looking at me.

The moment his hand came to rest on my knee, my hips jerked up. It was as though my body recognized his touch and knew what was in store.

Blaze seemed to understand precisely the effect he was having on me, because I caught him trying to hide his grin as his other hand went to the opposite knee and began drifting along my thigh.

My chest began to rise and fall rapidly with my quickened breaths, and Blaze brought his mouth to within inches of mine. “You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”

I smiled against his lips, one of my hands reaching up to thread into his hair. Holding him there, I kissed him.

His fingertips were so gentle and featherlight on my skin as they continued to move along my thigh and up my side; it was no surprise I was squirming beneath him. The ache was building between my legs, and he hadn’t even touched me there.

When he tore his mouth from mine and shifted its attention to my breasts, his hand didn’t stop teasing me. Only now, instead of tracing delicately over my side, both of Blaze’s hands firmly grasped my breasts and played. With his mouth teasing one, his fingers kneaded and toyed with the other.

I felt helpless as I continued to writhe and pant and moan beneath him.

Eventually, Blaze continued his journey south, his hands moving to my hips while his mouth pressed kisses along my abdomen. The anticipation was far too much, the ache building, and I was desperate to squeeze my legs together for some relief.

But I couldn’t do that.

Because Blaze’s body was between them, and he chose that moment to look up at me again.

“Baby, I’m going to make you come with my mouth, okay?”

I nodded at the same time I asked, “What should I do?”

He smiled at me. “Just lay back and enjoy it.”

“Are you… Is that… Really?”

Blaze shifted his body until he was lying on his stomach with his head between my legs. He was that close to the most intimate part of my body, and he looked like he believed he’d won some treasured prize.

After curling both hands around my legs, Blaze turned his head to one side and pressed a kiss to my inner thigh. Another shot of desire moved through me as I panted.

That’s when Blaze looked at me and promised, “Yes, Harlow. That’s all you need to do. Lay back and let me make you come.”

Once I gave him a slight nod of understanding, Blaze dropped his focus from my face. It was all I could do not to squirm completely out of his hold with the way he was looking at me between my legs. Then it became an exercise in superhuman strength to remain where I was the second he put his mouth on me.

“Oh, God,” I moaned.

Blaze’s tongue was swirling, slowly and deliberately, around my clit. Then his lips were pressed firmly against me as he sucked.

He had said I should just lay back and enjoy myself, but I wasn’t quite sure how to do that. This was so new, so stimulating, and I desperately needed something to hold on to.

My fingernails gripped the blanket beneath my body, my head lifted off from the pillow to glance down between my legs. I couldn’t even begin to formulate a coherent thought about what it did to me to see Blaze’s head there, knowing he was intent on delivering the pleasure that he was to me.

I wasn’t sure if he knew just how talented he was or that I felt as though I was experiencing the greatest moment of my life, but Blaze would not be deterred. His tongue flicked; his mouth applied pressure. His hands gripped my thighs or moved up my body to play with my breasts. He built me up effortlessly, a continuous onslaught of wonderful sensations coming at me.

Blaze seemed to be doing everything he could to draw it out. He could have made me come almost immediately, but it was as though he was enjoying this far too much to see me through to the end just yet.

There was nothing I could do but what he’d said—lay back and enjoy it.

So, that’s what I did.

I laid back and enjoyed it.

I submitted to Blaze’s desire to deliver this the way he intended.

And once I did that, somehow, it was even better. Blaze seemed to recognize I’d done what he’d wanted me to do from the start, and it was only then that he allowed it to build without pulling back.
