Like a haphazard rocket built from scraps and outdated parts, jittering wildly right before takeoff, Liam did everything he could to keep himself together. He focused on breathing at a regular pace, not getting too ahead of himself. However, Avril’s words infiltrated his mind. The advice she’d given him right before departing. She could be the most devilish woman he knew, but so often, she was also an endless oasis for a man dying of thirst.
“Because you really liked how big my cock looked,” he said. “And this is your chance to check.”
Victoria glanced toward the lump under his side of the covers—a short but meaningful look.
“It was rather large,” Victoria calmly said.
Her fingers climbed up to the top of his thigh.
How far should he go? How quickly should he get there? Heart stampeding in him, his carnal thoughts were almost vicious, shredding any hint of hesitance he might have called forth, like a dog eviscerating its most hated pillow with powerful head shakes.
However, he remembered how passionately Tess and Victoria had kissed, and his courage renewed itself.
“Tess seems to think so,” Liam said. “And I know you value her opinion very highly.”
Amusement crinkled the corners of Victoria’s eyes. “You can’t help it, can you? Bragging about somehow captivating an older woman—a lauded professor, at that. It’s just part of a young man’s biology.”
“I’m pretty sure I’ve captivatedtwolauded professors,” Liam retorted.
Victoria’s fingertips, warm and soft, glided a few inches up his thigh. Closer, closer, leaving him so burning hot that steam might start to hiss as he melted through the sheets and mattress under him.
“You’veintriguedtwo lauded professors,” Victoria corrected. “No slight against her, but based on how long she thrashed about in such a loveless marriage, Tess might not be as demanding of her partners as I am.”
“Maybe,” Liam said. “But you’re getting meafterI learned a lot of lessons from her, so you’re really getting to benefit from all her hard work.”
“That’s one way of looking at things,” Victoria said. Her fingertips climbed higher, stopping mere inches from his groin. “Are you as focused on improvement there as you are in chess?”
“Even more so,” he promised.
Victoria swirled her fingers in small circles on his skin, which forced a shiver through him. She smiled, and it was more beautiful than the stars overhead.
“There is one rule,” she said.
“What is it?” he croaked, needing more. He might rupture in two if she withdrew her fingers.
“Tonight, youcannottouch me with your hands. Not until you’re ready to give me the massage you’ve hyped up so immensely. If you break that rule, this ends immediately.”
Not realizing the struggles this stipulation would cause him just minutes from now, Liam hastily signed the older woman’s contract with a nod. It was the danger of making deals too quickly. He saw only the short-term benefits, not the long-term price.
But the former was simply too much for him to resist. Because after he nodded, within seconds, in fact, Victoria brought her fingers in and finally laid them on his cock.
Her touch was gentle, her nails gliding over the side of his cock as she repositioned her fingers and touched the underside of the hottest, hardest part of his body. With only her fingertips contacting it, she slowly lowered them until they found his balls. Rather than exploring there, however, she retraced her steps,then kept climbing. All the way to the tip, where precum had been spilling out of his cock for minutes.
Down again, over one side, over the other side, around, around, around. All while staring into his eyes, holding him captive with just a look.
“Itisimpressively large,” Victoria eventually whispered.
“It’ll make for a good fit between your tits,” Liam said.
“Perhaps,” Victoria said, fingers still tracing his rigid manhood. He was sensitive enough for even this gentle touch to rattle his stability. “But my tits are a reward for the men whotrulyimpress me. And size is only one component of having an impressive cock, Liam. Perhaps the least important one, in fact. What use is an expensive car without tires?”
“None at all,” he said, voice hoarse. “But you can take your test drive, Victoria. You won’t be let down.”
Shifting slightly closer, Victoria took him up on his offer. Her fingertips glided along the underside of his cock once more, but then she slid her hand forward, rubbing the lengths of her fingers against him. All the way, in fact, only stopping once his cock sat against her palm. Afterward, Victoria lifted her hand. The covers shifted as she pushed them slightly up, and Liam’s stomach churned as she began smearing precum around his glans. It caused him to lose focus briefly.
After all, althoughhewasn’t allowed to touch her with his hands, there were no rules about her only usingonehand on him.
As her other hand surrounded the base of his shaft, Liam inhaled sharply. Victoria’s subtle smile reappeared as she began slowly rubbing her thumb up and down the underside of his shaft. Swirls on top, lightly touching him everywhere. Ascents, descents. It was all so maddening.
