Brian chuckles. “Is that what you’re worried about? Why don’t I rectify that?”

With eyes that glitter with mischief, he pulls off his shirt and gives my eyes free rein to take in the cut, toned muscles of his abdomen, rippling and flexing as he undresses. His thighs and calves undulate as he steps out of his pants and boxers. Once he’s naked, my eyes linger on the curve of his buttocks and the hard length of his erection standing proudly, pointing outward—God, his body is perfection incarnate.

He ambles toward me with an intense gaze that sets me on fire.

His fingers slide over my zipper, tugging it slowly down as he speaks. “I have undressed you in my mind a thousand times.”

With a whoosh, my dress drops to my feet, and I am standing before him in nothing but a black lace strapless bra, a G-string, and fishnet stockings.

“Look at me, Brownie.”

His eyes burn into me with unbridled hunger as he takes in my form, roaming his hand through his blond locks. “You’re breathtaking, a vision of immaculate beauty.” He holds my gaze, and I gasp as his thumb brushes my lips. “You have the mouth of an angel, eyes of a temptress, and”—his other hand slides from my waist to my hips—“curves of a goddess.”

Empowered by his words, I remove my bra and drop it on the floor. Then I kick off my heels, and after getting rid of my stocking and G-string, I stroll into his enormous walk-in shower and let the droplets descend on my skin. Leaning his shoulder against the glass wall, he drinks me in.

“This is an image that will never leave my memory.”

“I’m sure you’ve told that to every girl you’ve taken home.”

His gaze bores into mine as he closes the distance between us. Taking hold of my chin with two fingers, he strokes my bottom lip with his thumb. “They never meant anything to me. But you do.”

I peck his lips and return. “And you mean a lot to me.”

With a mischievous grin on his face, he grabs a bottle of body wash. “Time to soap you up.”

I straighten and swallow as we stand naked before each other. It feels surreal. For years I’ve fantasized about this moment, expecting it to stay a daydream, but here we are.

Soapy bubbles cascade over my body as his hands travel, leaving an inviting warmth and a trail of goose bumps in their wake. “Hmm, I must cherish these beauties,” he purrs when cupping my breast before dipping down and capturing one of my nipples between his lips. His hot, damp mouth closes around it, massaging and teasing it until a needy whimper escapes me.God, can you die from sensory overload?His palms move down, exploring every inch of me until he reaches my backside. With a greedy growl, he grabs and squeezes my behind.

“Jesus, Brown, your ass is a masterpiece on its own.”

Coming up, he presses his lips against mine and caresses my body as if he has a map of it and knows all the right places to touch me. A God-given gift that makes me understand why he has so many women lined up to spend the night with him.

He moves us back until my back is pressed against the cool tile wall before breaking our kiss. Deep blue eyes swallow me whole as our ragged breaths mingle in the air.

“Tell me what you want, Amanda.”

With need, I trail my hands across his neck before pressing down on his shoulders.

With a knowing grin, he kneels before me. The warmth of his breath across my inner thighs makes me gasp. His hands lightly caress my skin as they travel up my legs, and my body quivers in anticipation of what is to come.

“I can smell your sweet arousal,” he says before leaning in and letting his tongue swirl around my throbbing bud, which turns my body into a vessel that produces low moans and pleasured cries.

When I find my voice, the only word I’m able to whisper is, “More,” while instinctually thrusting my hips toward his face. I’ve enjoyed oral sex before, but nothing comes close to the way Brian is giving it to me.This is goddamn heaven.He doubles up the pleasure by adding two of his fingers and creating a rhythm that causes my body to bow off the wall. His tongue speeds up, taking me closer and closer to the summit until I fall, and a masterful orgasm comes crashing over me in a relentless wave of pleasure that engulfs every nerve in my body until I’m left trembling in an intense, euphoric high. Brian holds me close, prolonging the blissful aftermath until I’m back on solid ground. His mouth finds mine in a gentle kiss that lingers long after our lips part.

“So, what’s the verdict, judge?”

I open my eyes. “Wow.”

His face breaks into a big smile.

“But,” I say, dragging out the word.

His head jerks back. “But what?”

I slide my hand across his chest. “Now it’s my turn to explore.”

His gaze intensifies, and he bites his bottom lip as I tweak his nipples between my fingers.
