Eyes locked withon to the belt he wore Unhooking that, he flicked the button and then the zipper went down He shucked off his jeans and the black boxer briefs quickly followed

I closed my eyes as his lips moved to my brsts, over the sliced scars, to close over a nipple My back arched off the bed when he sucked deep and the keening, sudden sound that erupted fro peak as his fingers settled over ers sent a bolt of pleasure throughout an to build all over again

He moved his ettingplaces My hps tilted against his restlessly, nudging the hard length of hih , and teasing as he shifted his body, working a hand betweenainst hier insidein a deep breath as he added another "That good?" he asked

"Yeah," I breathed, and then nodded in case he didn’t get the point
