Eli’s large hands close over my breasts as his mouth claims that portion where my neck meets my shoulder His thumbs brush the hardened, sensitive tips, and ainst his chest Abetween ainst ht now, and I do exactly what he asks, and the full erection pressing into the sain

Between breaths, I shiver and whisper, "Can you?"

A lol ru one hand possessively cupped over my breast, Eli slides his other hand over the flat of my stomach, over one hip, then slips under the loaist of rowl of desire tears fro his hand still against my wetness His whisper turns hoarse "Now" He dips inside of ainst hiainst my throat I suck in a raw breath and hold it, squeeze ainst Eli’s hand

It doesn’t work

A gradual climax, one pulse at a time, increases with each beat, with each ainst ainst his shoulder as the orgasm claims me Slowly, it subsides

Without another word, Eli lifts me and lays me on the quilt before the fire

Damn it, I didn’t want to lose control I couldn’t help it I wanted the o on forever

The erotic fire quickly rekindles as I watch Eli strip his clothes away
