“Very much,” he said roughly. “I’d like it more if you’d take off that last little item and give me an unobstructed view.”

I dipped a thumb into the waistband of my panties, teasing, taking it slow. Lowering one side an inch. Then the other. Just a little farther now. The waves lapped the shore with a soft, steadyshushas I toyed with my underwear…and him.

“Take them off. All the way off,” he growled.

I sashayed my hips in a final tease then stepped out of the panties at last, adding them to the rest of my clothes on the floor.

“Fuck,” he rasped out as he blinked and stared—just fucking stared, eating me up with his hungry gaze. “Get over here and sit on my face.”

My skin sizzled everywhere. I was overcome with desire, thrilling at his commands.

He grabbed the wrap from the bed then dangled it as I climbed over him. “Higher now.”

My breath came hard and fast before I even reached his shoulders. He grabbed my hips and held me in place, kneeling over his face. He gripped my wrists in one hand and tugged them behind my back. “I don’t want to blindfold you. Know why?”

“Why?” I asked, a pulse beating insistently between my legs.

“Because of your eyes,” he said as he gripped my wrists and wrapped the fabric around them.

“What about them?”

“I love looking at you when you come. When you’re close. When you’re getting there,” he said.

A fresh wave of desire crashed over me like a wave slamming the shore. He wasn’t even touching me, and I ached with longing. I straddled his face, but he had all the control as he tightened the knot around my bound wrists, securing my hands behind my back.

“Blindfolding you would be a crime,” he said. Then he lowered my pussy to his mouth, and I moaned obscenely.

My eyes floated closed. As the world behind my lids turned dark, I wobbled for the briefest moment. Not much—maybe an inch. My eyes snapped open, so I wouldn’t fall. But he held my hips tight.

“I’ve got you,” he whispered. I nodded, letting go, giving in.

He worked his tongue in a frenzied circle across me. I didn’t hold back either. I went wild on his wicked tongue, his magic mouth, his stubbled chin. He was my launchpad to pleasure, and I was taking off.

With my hands tied, I couldn’t hold on to anything for balance. But I didn’t need to. Because he had me in his grip. And I gave in, surrendering as I came.

Soon, he lifted me off, unbound me and placed me on my back.

“Stay like that,” he commanded.

I wanted to stay. Here with him was exactly where I wanted to be.

DO BETTER

Jake

She was so beautiful, her hair fanning out on the bed, her skin flushed, her eyes glossy with pleasure.

“Spread your legs for me,” I said, rolling on a condom.

As she parted her thighs, I nearly came right then. The sight of her so aroused stoked the flames inside me. I wanted more of her pleasure. I loved driving her wild and hearing her noises. She was so free in bed in a way I hadn’t known I needed until I had it with her. I wanted a lover who had no inhibitions, who trusted, who took and who gave, and who opened herself up.

I eased inside her, cursing in pleasure as I filled her.

She looked stunning with her back bowed, her red lips falling open in anO. I moved inside her, building a slow, steady rhythm, wanting to experience every single rapturous moment of being inside her. She was warm and pliant, with a sex-drunk look in her blue eyes.

“You are so beautiful,” I rasped out.
