JAKE BIT the inside of his cheek hard, sustaining the tight clench of jaw until he tasted blood. God, he wanted to taste her instead. And he would. Soon. Anticipation was working a potent magic on both of them—a magic he hadn’t realized he wanted until this moment. A magic he could wield if he retained control.

His heavy breathing didn’t help. Each inhalation drew the scent of her arousal into his lungs. Each exhalation caused a ripple of gooseflesh across her bare thighs, a stir of the dark curls around her sweet cleft, like the drawing of a curtain. Inviting yet secretive at the same time.

“Take off the shirt,” he ordered.

Her response, a sensual pout, had nothing childish about it. “You said you were going to steal home. You take it off.”

He cleared his throat. Give the woman a little sexual leeway and she gets all sassy. He loved it, appreciated her attempt to play the game as an equal participant, but he wouldn’t surrender the upper hand. Not tonight.

“Uh-uh. I’m the coach. Strip, rookie.”

Jake had planned to tell her to remove the shirt slowly, to show her the potent awareness of knowing he was watching her strip at such close range his breath teased her skin. In the stairwell, despite his retelling of his fast and furious fantasy, despite his driving desire to take her, taste her here and now without finesse or delay, he’d claimed he could go slowly. Had he lied? Had he deluded himself about his control? He’d already undressed and slipped on a condom, assuming he couldn’t get any harder than he had been since he’d caught her singing before dinner.

He’d been wrong there, too.

Scooting back on the coffee table, Jake forced distance between them, even if only a few inches. He glanced at her face, blindfolded but beautiful. Her skin was flushed, her teeth tugging at her bottom lip in expectation.

Then she smiled. He could tell by the wicked curve of her lips that she intended to comply with his instructions. But given the chance, she might push him further.

She bunched the material from the shoulders, lifting, lifting…revealing, revealing…the natural camber of her belly, the dip of her navel, the gentle swell of her breasts, the hard, dark peaks of her nipples. By the time she tossed the shirt aside, careful not to dislodge the blindfold but throwing her hair into a tumbled mass of sexy disarray, Jake knew precisely where he would kiss her first. Where he had to kiss her first.

He braced his hands on her waist, applying one finger at a time so she felt the force of his possession in tantalizing increments.

When he pressed his lips softly against her stomach, she quivered. The flutter quickened his pulse but not his intentions. He placed a kiss over her belly button, then dipped a tad lower for another, then lower for another so his chin skimmed her sensitive curls.

She’d locked her hands behind her neck. If not for the slight movement as she adjusted her stance for better balance, she remained willingly and completely at his command.
