Page 119 of Something Cheeky

Zoe answered with a slow, deep kiss. He began undressing her until all that was left were her bra and panties. She was very glad that she’d taken care to match her undergarments today.

“Your turn.”

Her costuming skills made quick work of the buttons on his shirt. Soon his clothes were a pile on the floor except for his black boxers. The thin fabric couldn’t hide the thickness of his hard cock.

He walked her backward to the vanity and turned her around so that she faced the large mirror. Standing behind her, he met her eyes in the mirror and cocked his head as if to askAre you ready?

Zoe bit her lip and nodded as her body tingled in anticipation.

“Relax into my arms,” he said as he wrapped his arm around her waist.

“Yes, Director,” she murmured as she readjusted her feet to do as he asked. She sighed as her almost bare back rested on his naked chest. Heat surged between her thighs as she imagined all the ways he might touch her in this position.

“Open your eyes and see how I see you.” He lifted her chin up.

Her eyelids fluttered open. Zoe’s breath hitched. The woman in the mirror with flushed cheeks and swollen lips was stunning. Was this how she looked to him whenever they made love?

“How have I missed thee? Let me count the ways,” Derek said as he met her eyes in the mirror.

“My favorite sonnet?” Zoe arched her eyebrows in surprise. He’d remembered her love for Elizabeth Barrett Browning. “You’re such a romantic.”

“But this is my own version. For your ears only.” He stroked her shoulder as he continued. “I miss the way your eyes light up whenever you get a new design idea.”

She turned her head to face him as much as she could without leaving the strength of his chest. He kissed her hard and deeply, his hot tongue thrusting into her mouth and claiming her as his. She moaned into his mouth as she eagerly returned his kiss. When he finally pulled away, she grumbled impatiently.

“How have I missed thee?” Zoe said as she tried to catch her breath. A sonnet could be a duet. “I miss the way you bite your bottom lip when you’re super-focused. It’s so cute.”

Derek’s eyes were dark as he unhooked her bra. She lifted herarms one at a time so he could slip it off. She sighed as her breasts hung heavy and ready for his attention.

“I miss your silky breasts.” He cupped both breasts in his hands. “And hard nipples.”

He reached up and rolled her nipples between his thumbs and forefingers. Groaning as they tightened, she forced herself to keep her eyes open. He continued until he was satisfied with the hardness of her nipples.

“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.” He rubbed his palms across her sensitive nipples. “I love your courage to try new things on your own—and succeed at opening your own boutique.”

Zoe sighed as tiny jolts zipped through her body. She was weak in the knees, but she knew that Derek would keep her steady. He’d be there to support her like he always promised.

“How do I love thee?” Zoe murmured softly. “I love the way you envision a future that puts our people in the spotlight.”

Her entire body tensed with anticipation as she followed his reflection. He caressed her hip and then her ass. She held her breath waiting for him to touch her even more intimately.

“You’re the only person in my spotlight, Zoe.”

Derek tucked his fingers into the lace and pulled down her panties. He helped her step out of them. The cool air on her thighs and pussy only intensified the heat growing inside her. He ran his fingers between her lips, grazing her clit to send sparks through her. But it wasn’t enough.

“Please,” she begged his reflection as she pushed her ass out to meet his hand. “Touch my clit.”

He met her eyes in the mirror and grinned. “How do I love thee? I love how you’re always ready to stand up for your values and yourself. It’s so fucking sexy.”

Derek emphasized his words as his fingers found her most sensitive spot. He caressed it with the pads of his fingers, adding the right amount of pressure to make her moan. Zoe’s eyes rolled back as the waves of pleasure pulsed through her body. Her hips bucked against his hands. She needed more than his fingers.

“Abso-fucking-lutely beautiful,” he whispered. “See how you’ve bloomed, Zoe.”

With effort, she blinked her eyes open to meet his in the mirror. He smiled encouragingly and gestured for her to watch herself. The woman in the mirror was incredibly sexy as she undulated in time with her boyfriend’s hand. That woman was her.

And then there was Derek. His eyes were slightly unfocused behind his glasses. He bit his bottom lip as he concentrated on giving her pleasure. Zoe swallowed a sob. He truly loved her and would do anything to make her happy. It didn’t matter what she chose to do next. She knew that he’d support her completely.

Zoe loved him so much that she thought her chest could burst. She’d been a fool not to have seen it sooner. It’d taken her too many years to recognize how she’d felt about it.
