“Oh, I gave you plenty of time.” Jeremy stalked toward the bed and stood at the end, looking down on her. He couldn’t touch her. Not yet. “Take off your coat.”

She froze, his bossiness catching her off guard.

“Now, Bella.”

She hesitated, and for a moment Jeremy wondered whether he’d gone too far. But then a small smile played across her lips; her tongue darted out between them and disappeared just as quickly, leaving him quaking with need but determined to let things play out. With a torturously slow speed, Bella moved her fingers to her zipper and slid it down until she could shimmy out of her parka.

The tight sweater she wore underneath stretched across her breasts as they heaved with the breath she couldn’t seem to fully catch.

But he needed more. “And the sweater.” Jeremy did his best to look unaffected by her slow motion striptease. But despite his best efforts, he was also aware that his throbbing, incredibly hard erection totally gave him away.

He didn’t care.

He swallowed hard as she pulled the sweater up and over her head to reveal full, luscious breasts wrapped in the tiniest slip of lace. Bella’s hard, pink nipples stood at attention, begging him to suckle them between his lips.

But not yet.

Bella’s breath came in quick bursts as she once more leaned back against her forearms, thrusting her breasts up toward him.

He nodded toward her leggings, but she shook her head in response. “I think I’ll need a little help.” Her voice was thick with need. “Would you mind?”

As much as Jeremy was enjoying their game, he didn’t need to be asked twice. He moved to kneel on the bed and slowly crawled up so he was directly over top of her. He kissed her, pulling her bottom lip between his teeth until she let out a low moan.

Jeremy moved his attentions down her neck, nipping and sucking until he was between her breasts. He inhaled the sweet scent of her, letting it fill him, and then he finally did what every fiber in his body had been yearning for: he moved his mouth over one perfectly plump mound and, through the scrap of lace, sucked her nipple into his mouth.

Bella’s body vibrated beneath him. She tilted her neck back and moaned, long and low. Jeremy almost completely lost control at her erotic response. He stilled himself for a moment before turning his attention to her other breast, cupping and massaging the full globes as he went.

Damn.

After a few moments, Jeremy forced himself to keep moving. He trailed kisses down her body until he hit the waistband of her leggings. He slipped his hands past the elastic and moved them down her firm, toned legs, taking the fabric with him, leaving her completely bare. When she was shed of her leggings and boots, Bella reached around her back and unclasped her bra.

She moved backward on the bed, leaned back on her arms and bent her knees, welcoming him to join her.

“God damn, you’re beautiful, Bella.”

Wanting to keep the situation fair, Jeremy tugged his underwear down and when he stood up again, Bella was licking her lips like a cat about to get her reward.

“You’re not too bad yourself, handsome.” She crooked her finger, beckoning him to her. “Now get over here and kiss me.”

“Yes, ma’am.”
