Chapter Ten

Wait?

Andrew blew out an unsteady breath and curled his fingers in his palms to stop himself from reaching for her again. “Why are we waiting?”

It was hard to tell in the dim light, but Rachel’s cheeks seemed to flush. “I need to change.”

He lifted a brow. “Change...your clothes?”

She nodded.

“Why?” he asked, sincerely baffled.

“Because I bought new lingerie,” she finally admitted.

“So you’re not putting on the brakes? You haven’t changed your mind about this...you just want to put on different underwear?”

The color in her cheeks deepened. “It sounds ridiculous when you say it like that, but yes.”

It was ridiculous, but he didn’t figure saying so would result in her getting naked any quicker. It was also flattering, that she’d bought something special in anticipation of this event. But after his extended period of celibacy, the prospect of seeing her naked was far more arousing than anything she might put on her body. “Don’t you realize that it doesn’t matter what you’re wearing because my end goal is to take it off you?”

“But I want to look sexy when you’re taking it off me.”

He stroked her hair away from her face. “You are sexy. So incredibly and undeniably sexy. And while I’m flattered that you bought new lingerie in anticipation of showing it to me, I’m much more interested in your naked body than anything made of satin or lace that would only cover it up.”

“Maybe it was leather with buckles and chains.”

His brows lifted. “Was it?”

“No,” she admitted.

“Okay, then,” he said, and pried her fingers from the blouse that she was clutching in front of her like a shield.

He slid the garment down her arms and let it fall to the floor. The bra she wore was white, but it wasn’t boring. He knew enough about women’s lingerie to recognize it as a demi-cup bra, and he appreciated the contrast of the snowy satin against her creamy flesh. Even more, he appreciated that the center clasp hidden beneath a tiny bow was easily released.

He dropped the bra on top of her already-discarded blouse and focused his attention on the mouthwatering sight of her naked breasts. More than three years without physical intimacy seemed to have given him a whole new appreciation for the uniqueness of the female body. Or maybe it was the uniqueness of Rachel’s body that so completely captivated him.

He’d been married for five years, but even prior to that, he’d never been with anyone but Nina. So while he might have plenty of experience with sex, that experience had all been with the same woman. Being with someone different—with Rachel—was like the first time all over again. His heart was pounding and everything inside of him was shaking with excitement and anticipation and terror. He wanted her so desperately that he couldn’t help worrying he would forget patience and finesse, that he might do something wrong and screw everything up.

His gaze skimmed over her, assessing, admiring. “Incredibly and undeniably sexy,” he said again.

The way he looked at her—the unrestrained desire she could see in his eyes—made Rachel feel sexy.
