“About your panties?” Eric asked teasingly as he laid his other hand on her hip.

“No,” Joe said, trying not to smile, “about what we’re doing here. We need to talk, Eric.”

“Okay,” Eric said, slowly nodding as he leaned down and kissed the tip of her nose. “Well, first, I’m going to see if you’re wearing any panties. Then, I’d thought we’d start living out every fantasy I’ve ever had about you, starting, of course, with the ones I had in high school. Then, I thought we’d make up a few together,” he said, pressing a line of kisses to her mouth before he brushed his lips teasingly against hers.

“That’s not what I meant,” Joe said weakly even as she tilted her head to the side to give him better access to her neck as he licked and kissed his way down.

“You don’t want to live out a few fantasies?” Eric asked against her neck as his hand slid from her hip, down her thigh until it went past the edge of her tee-shirt and then, slid beneath the tee-shirt. His hand moved up her thigh until it was once again resting on her bare hip.

Yes, she really did. In fact, she had about a hundred fantasies that she would love to live out with him. “We’ll talk later,” Joe said, gasping when his hand moved to her ass.

CHAPTER 21

They really should be talking, but he knew that talking could lead to the decision that they should never do this again, so he was going to be an asshole and get his fill before that. He didn’t know what she wanted or what he could give her, but he was in no rush to end this. He wanted her too fucking badly to do the right thing.

When she’d left this morning, he’d been determined to do the right thing by her. Letting her walk away was one of the hardest things he’d ever done in his life. If Bill hadn’t bugged the hell out of him until he gave in and helped out with the annoying bastard, he probably would have done something stupid like go after Joe and promise her things they both knew he couldn’t give her.

While he’d tried showing Greg how to use the equipment, he’d thought about her. He loved her, they both knew that, and he never wanted to hurt her, but he would. He didn’t know how to be what she needed because he’d never cared enough to do that for another woman. He’d love to be the man that could take care of her and be there for her, but he was fucking terrified.

After he’d finally had enough of Greg’s bullshit, he went home, showered, and tried not to think about her, but it hadbeen a losing battle from the beginning. He promised himself that they’d have tonight and tomorrow before she had to go to New Hampshire, and then, they’d see where things took them from there. He knew it would probably lead to nothing, but he couldn’t help but give himself a little hope that he could be more for her.

“Hell,” Eric groaned when his fingers brushed against her slit.

She was wet, soaking wet and the knowledge that a few simple touches had turned her on almost as much as him nearly sent him to his knees. A second later, the thought of her soaking wet did just that.

When she spread her legs without a word, Eric had to suppress a groan. He had a feeling that she’d be demanding in bed and he couldn’t be happier about that. He pushed her tee-shirt up and kissed the skin he’d exposed. He followed the smooth thigh with his lips until he came to his new favorite spot and pressed his lips against her slit.

Joe’s moan caught his attention and when he looked up, she grabbed the hem of her tee-shirt and pulled it off, letting it drop on the floor next to them. He’d seen her naked before, but seeing her leaning back against the wall with her legs spread and ready for him nearly fucking destroyed him.

He frantically grabbed hold of his self-control and forced himself to relax. Last night he’d been too fucking desperate to enjoy the body that had starred in every fantasy he’d ever had. Today, he wouldn’t be making that mistake again.

Keeping his eyes locked with hers, Eric leaned in and ran the tip of his tongue over her slit. He did it again when she licked her lips and closed her eyes in pleasure. When her flavor hit his tongue, he groaned and licked her again, desperate for another taste.

She tasted so good, better than he ever imagined she would and he wanted more. He ignored the demands his cock made to be freed and reached up and gently spread her folds open with his fingertips.

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful, Eric thought as he leaned in to lick her from her core to her clit. When she fisted her hands in his hair, he did it again, this time flicking the tip of his tongue over her clit before pulling it between his lips and suckling gently.

“Eric,” she moaned.

He gave her clit one last pull before sitting back and slowly slid a finger inside her. For a moment, he was content to watch his finger slide in and out of her, but the need to taste her again became too strong to ignore. He kept his finger inside of her as he kissed, licked, and suckled her clit.

All too soon, he felt her body tighten around his finger. One minute the sounds of his groans and her soft moans filled the room, and the next, she was screaming his name and holding his mouth tightly to her clit. He felt her body slump against the wall a moment later. Before her legs gave out, he had her in his arms and was carrying her to her room.

“What now?” Joe asked, desperately trying to catch her breath as he laid her carefully on top of her bed.

“Now,” Eric said, reaching back and grabbing a fistful of his shirt, “we move on to the next fantasy.”

“Not yet,”Eric mumbled against her mouth as he caught her hand heading south again.

His next fantasy turned out to be a bit of a surprise. After he’d stripped his clothes off and climbed under the sheet to join her,he’d kissed her. That was it. His hands didn’t wander and every time one of hers tried to move, he stopped her and just kept on kissing her.

They’d been kissing for at least a half-hour, and it didn’t appear as though he was going to grow bored anytime soon. Actually, he seemed to be really enjoying himself. At least the incredibly hard erection poking her hip and the way he moaned against her mouth let her know that he really liked what they were doing. Honestly, she loved it, too. She loved the way he touched her while he slowly devoured her mouth.

Unfortunately, it turned her on a little too much and left her desperate for more. If he didn’t do something soon, she was going to kill him that’s all there was to it. When several minutes passed and he still didn’t put her out of her misery, Joe decided that it was time to take matters into her own hands. She moved her hands up his chest as she moved to sit up, giving him no choice but to roll over onto his back or break the kiss.

When he laid back, she didn’t hesitate. She threw her leg over his waist and straddled him. He didn’t seem to register the move until she rolled her hips, the move causing her lips to spread open around his thick cock. Then, he let out a groan and tried to roll her back onto her side, but she wasn’t having that.

She rolled her hips forward before slowly pushing back. When she felt the soft tip of his cock press against her entrance, she didn’t hesitate in pushing back until he was sliding inside of her. He felt so damn good. He wasn’t her first lover, but he was undoubtedly the best.
