Page 72 of Give Me a Shot

His laugh bounced off the walls, and she laughed, too. But she was impatient.

She reached behind her and undid her bra. The straps slipped down, and she held the cups in place. “Ready?”

Looking very solemn, he nodded once. She pushed a bit of nervousness aside and threw her bra across the room. Mo didn’t move. She wondered if he was breathing.

“Are you all right?” she asked, throat suddenly dry.

“I’m more than all right,” he said gruffly. He slid his hands up the sides of her torso, pulling her to him as he leaned up. He caught one of her nipples in his mouth and sucked. She moanedand leaned into him farther. He sucked gently, then let go to swirl his tongue around her nipple, groaning deep again. He took her breast in his hand, massaging, as he moved to the other nipple and hungrily took it into his mouth. He massaged and sucked, and Jess thought she was going to go out of her mind. As he thumbed one nipple and sucked the other, he groaned like he was starving.

“God, you’re beautiful,” he whispered quickly as he moved from one to the other.

Jess would have thanked him, but words were gone; she could only answer with moans.

“Your skin is perfection,” he said as he shifted again. “All of it.” He caressed her side.

She wanted to stop him so she could do the same to him, but she felt weak. Mustering the strength to sit up a little, she put a hand on his chest.

“Thank you,” she breathed. “I think we’re overdressed.” She rolled off him, onto her back and went for her belt and zipper. As he did the same, she caught a glimpse of a very substantial bulge. She ripped her jeans off and started to take off her panties, but Mo grunted.

“Will you let me do the honors?” he asked.

To her complete shock, she felt bashful.

“Um…sure,” she said, lifting her hands.

Mo shimmied out of his jeans and boxer briefs, and Jess’s heart stopped. He was big all over.

“Uh…” she said.

He stroked himself once and looked a little embarrassed.

“Yeah,” he said. “It’s been a problem in the past. All the more reason for you to be on top. You’ll control how deep I go.”

Jess swallowed around the lump of intimidation in her throat.

“Yes,” she said. “You’re right.”

“My turn?” he asked, sliding onto his knees on the floor. He gently pushed her legs together. She didn’t get why until she remembered the picnic. He ate slowly, savored his food. He was being consistent. Placing his hands on each ankle, he slowly drew his fingertips up the outside of her legs. Chills ran all over her.When he’d reached the sides of her panties, he hooked his fingers in them and slowly began pulling them down. She shifted so he could take them off but kept her legs together. When they were gone, he placed his hands on her knees and looked up at her. He smiled. Following his gentle lead, she let her legs fall open. He sighed.

“My orchids have nothing on you, Jess,” he said, gazing between her legs. If Mo, a man who adored plants, was complimenting her in that way, it was high praise. Her skin warmed. He pressed a soft kiss into the inside of one knee. Then another a little bit higher on the opposite thigh. He turned to do the same on the first, but she leaned up to stop him with a hand on his shoulder.

“Not now,” she panted. “Another time. Right now, I want you inside me.”

“Your wish is my command,” he said, mouthing her thigh again. She twisted herself to reach her nightstand. Thankfully, she’d bought two boxes of condoms. One the regular size, the other extra-large. She got that box open as he began kissing up her stomach, reaching one breast. He slowly licked the underside. She grabbed a condom, but her hands were shaky, and she dropped the box, spilling them all over. He chuckled.

“I do have a good bit of stamina,” he said. “But not that much.”

She laughed.

“Something tells me it’s safer to only go one round with you.” She shot a glance at his crotch. He grinned as he clambered back onto the middle of the bed. He stretched out beside her.

“Have your way with me, m’lady. And we’ll see if that’s true.”

She laughed again.

“M’lady?” she asked. “Never been called that before.”

“Since we’re on this Ren Faire adventure, I’d say it fits,” he said, winking at her.
