Conference Day 3

An excerpt from Emily Parker’s Whispers of the Heart

The tender flame of love’s spark,

Intimate embraces, gentle my heart

He whispers words, caressing me

Hearts entwined, it’s ecstasy

He brings me high, sweet finesse

Forever close in love’s address

Passion grips and desire ignites

Our bodies entwine through depths of night

A symphony starts; fervent sighs

Dancing together with intimate pride

Two souls together, primally tied.

Chapter 29

Emily felt featherlight touches on her skin. She tried to open her eyes, but only darkness greeted her. She blinked, but the darkness remained. Turning her head, she realized that silk covered her eyes.

She tried to move her arms to grab the covering, but realized with a start that her hands were bound, just as her eyes were.

“Awake, my love,” Miles whispered in her ear. His hot breath sent shivers down her spine. His hands were on her, and she realized that, while her eyes were covered, nothing else was. His fingers lightly dragged across her breasts and down her navel. Goosebumps followed the delicate touch.

“Miles?”

“I’m here, darling,” he said. He pressed his lips to hers, dominating her mouth, pressing forward and pushing her open. All she could do was relax into his touch, her body on fire.

Miles kissed down her neck and shoulder, nipping and sucking a path until he reached her ready and waiting breast. He brought his mouth down over her nipple and sucked. Emily gasped and arched into the touch. His hand grasped her breast. He squeezed and pinched at her other nipple. Both were pebbled and hard under the onslaught.

“Please, I need you,” Emily begged. Miles chuckled, the sound going right to her core, and continued to move down her body. His lips trailed a path down her navel and farther down until sucking her clit.

Emily bucked into the touch. She moaned as his tongue flicked against that bundle of nerves. She pulled against the restraints, but was completely stuck. Completely at his mercy.

Miles’s tongue teased in broad strokes. Just when Emily felt like it couldn’t get any better he pressed a digit against her entrance and slowly pushed in. She gasped and squirmed. Miles continued his onslaught and pressed his fingers in and out of her body as he continued to nip and suck.

Emily felt the pressure building in her core, heat ravished her body. The inferno built until it was too much, and waves of pleasure wracked through her. As she shuddered, Miles continued. Emily moaned, her body felt overstimulated by his touch. She relaxed into a boneless heap on the bed, barely aware as Miles moved up her body. He untied her hands and held them in his own. He maneuvered her limp body and held her against him, her back to his chest. Emily leaned her head against his shoulder, relaxing into his heat. Against her bottom, she felt his erection. She unconsciously squirmed and smirked when she heard his breath hitch. Miles reached a hand down, grabbed his length, and positioned it at her entrance.

He pressed forward. Emily felt the tip slowly pushing her open . . . and then she woke up . . .

Chapter 30

Emily sighed and snuggled into the warmth of the bed, feeling more rested than she’d felt in longer than she’d care to admit. She breathed in a spicy scent and nuzzled her head against the warm weight at her side. She felt secure and cozy with the thick band wrapped around her waist. She froze, realizing these weren’t normal sensations.

Normally waking up felt like snuggling into a fluffy cloud of blankets and turning her head to meet the soft and cool touch of another spot on the pillow. Normally there was plenty of room to move around on the bed. She’d never woken up to feel another body pressing against her own, making her belly tighten and heat rush through her.

Emily went still. What should she do? This wasn’t an experience she’d dealt with before, and it was definitely not one life had prepared her for. Behind her she heard Miles sigh and felt her cheeks flush as he scooted closer. Two beings inside of Emily were fighting with one another: One wanted her to close her eyes and snuggle in closer, the other screamed that maybe this wasn’t such a great idea.
