Before she realized it, he tilted her to face him, one arm
around her, the other hand cupping her chin. He pressed his
lips against hers, a butterfly touch, so feather light it
was barely there. She didn't pull away, and the pressure
increased. And when her arms came up to wrap around him, he
traced the seam of her lips with his tongue.?
He kissed one corner of her mouth then the other before
murmuring, "Let me in. Please."?
It was the dream all over again, except this time she could
actually taste him, and he was delicious. She opened her
mouth to let his tongue sweep inside, and she offered him
her own. It wasn't the most passionate kiss she'd ever had
or the most aggressive, but it certainly was the most
possessive. As if he was somehow claiming ownership. And she
had no desire to push him away.?
She threaded her fingers through his hair, as smooth to the
touch as his beard, and held his head to hers while he
gently plundered her mouth. His tongue lit fires every place
he touched, the heat flowing down through her body and
making her muscles clench with desire. This was at once the
most erotic and the most emotional kiss she'd ever shared,
and she never wanted it to stop. It was only lack of oxygen
that made them break the contact at last. She didn't try to
move away, hoping he'd take it as a sign not to let go. They
sat there for a long moment, arms wrapped around each other,
her head against his shoulder.?
"I dreamed about kissing you like this."?
The words were whispered so faintly at first Nina wasn't
sure she heard correctly. "You did? "?
"Uh huh. A lot." He gently nipped her ear lobe. "About
tasting you, inhaling your scent. Touching you everywhere.
Do you dream that way?"?
She squeezed her thighs together against the sudden hunger
beating through her, her voice unsteady when she answered
him. "Yes. Yes, I do." She stroked his beard again. "Blake?
Won't you please take off the blindfold so I can see you?"?
His muscles tightened for a moment then relaxed. "No. I
can't. Not yet. Please don't ask me." His laugh was forced.
"Let's keep this a fantasy for the time being, okay?"?
"All right." His words sounded so desperate, how could she
say no??
