and deep as my hands slid lower, lower...past her chest,

the heels of my hands almost grazing her breasts, down

her sides, over her hips and along her thighs.

My thumbs touched nylon and she gasped against my

mouth. The feel of her smooth thighs was addictive. My

kisses became hungry and open-mouthed. I sucked that

gorgeous lower lip into my mouth and nibbled on it, the

sound of her rapid breathing exciting me even more.

She’s as turned on as I am. My thumbs circled and

stroked, my fingers nudging the fabric of her dress

higher. Was she wearing nylons or—

My thumb touched a band of smooth fabric, then the

soft warmth of naked skin. She was wearing stockings.

My cock was harder than it had ever been. I have to get

this dress off of her. Right. Now.

And then the cab slowed to a stop and we were there.

I threw some money at the cabbie and then we were

sliding out of the seat and into the night air, still kissing, my hands on her hips. The air was shockingly cold after

the warmth of the cab, rushing under my coat and down

my collar. I knew it must be even worse for Irina, with

her stockinged legs, so I pulled her right up against me,

leaving not even a hair’s width between our bodies. We

stood there kissing as the cab pulled away, our fronts

keeping each other warm while our backs grew colder

and colder.

When she finally broke the kiss, she said, “That’s my

house.”

For the first time, I bothered to glance around. We were

in some suburb I didn’t recognize, way out in the sticks.

The street was quiet and it was a clear night, the stars

shockingly bright overhead. “Uh-huh.” And I drew her

back into the kiss.

A moment later, she broke the kiss again and ran a

nervous hand through her hair. Her face was flushed,

her pupils huge with need, but she looked worried. “My

roommate will be there.”

“Uh-huh.” I cupped her cheeks and brushed my thumbs

through her hair, marveling at its silken softness. I was

vaguely aware that something was up, but I was too

busy trying to kiss her to figure it out. My lips came

down on hers and she gave a soft little moan. I ran my

hands down her back, tracing the shape of her through

the layers. I was desperate to get her inside and

undressed, but kissing her was just too fucking good!

She broke the kiss a third time. “My room’s a mess,”

she said.

This time I finally forced myself to focus because I could

tell something was wrong. She wasn’t changing her

mind: I could see it in her eyes, hear it in the husk of

her voice. She wanted this as much as I did. But….

I had to fight hard to get through the fog of lust

clouding my brain, but I finally got it. She was worried I

was going to think she was a slut or something because

she’d invited me back here on a first date.

Just as I worked it out, she opened her mouth to speak

again. Immediately, I put a warning finger on her lips.

She went silent, but gave me a look of outrage that was

so fucking adorable I nearly forgot what I wanted to

say.

“Shh,” I said sharply. Then I leaned closer, so I could

speak right into her ear. “Irina: I want you. Right now.

You’re driving me crazy and I’ve got to have you. But

—”—she shifted minutely and the feel of her soft lips

against my finger made me almost groan out loud

—”But, if you’re not ready, tell me now and I’ll go.” The

words were rolling out of my mouth before I even knew

what I was saying. Was I really telling her I’d wait for

her? “We can do this tomorrow or the next night or in a

month’s time. It’s okay. I’ll still be here.” I felt her draw

in her breath, as if what I was saying was shocking.

“But if you want this now, like I do...then let’s go

inside.”

I drew back a little and blinked at her. I was at least as

surprised by what I’d said as she was. But it had

worked. She nodded once, quickly, her mind made up,

then grabbed my hand and led me inside.

I only caught brief glimpses of the interior. She rushed

me through it, maybe self-conscious that it was small. I

wanted to tell her that it was a hell of a lot bigger than

the place I’d grown up in, but I couldn’t drag my eyes

from her legs, or from the curve of her ass as she

walked ahead of me. Plus, I was still trying to come to

terms with what I’d said to her outside. Offer to wait?

Me? It wasn’t something I’d ever done before—hell, the

women I normally met didn’t expect anything more than

a one night-stand. But with Irina...I realized it was true.

I would have waited, if she’d made me. I am fucking

obsessed with this woman.

By the time we made it into her bedroom, I couldn’t

wait any longer. I grabbed her as she pushed the door

closed and pressed her full-length against it. Then I

cupped her head in my hands and ran my fingertips

through her hair as I kissed her hard. The feel of her

soft, supple body against the hardness of mine had me

panting. I grabbed the hem of her dress and started

dragging it up her thighs, still kissing her. My fingers

brushed over nylon, then her stocking tops, then the

soft smoothness of her thighs. She moaned into my

mouth and that stoked my lust even more.

I hauled her away from the door and spun her around,

pulled her coat off her arms and let it fall to the floor.

Then I pulled her back against my chest until her ass

was grinding against my cock. I pulled her dress higher,

revealing a pair of simple, black panties. Somehow, that

triangle of black fabric between those smooth golden

thighs was more enticing than any elaborate lingerie.

I snaked one hand down her body and between her

thighs, groaning as my fingertips pressed against her

warmth. I started to stroke her there and, immediately,

she clenched her thighs tight around my hand, her

dancer’s muscles pinning me tight for a second. Jesus,

she’s going to be an incredible fuck. I moved my hand

more firmly, overpowering her, and she groaned in

surprise and pleasure as I worked at her softness

through the thin fabric. A minute of gasping, panting

friction and she was wilting against me, thighs clenching

around my hand in time with my movements. Two

minutes, and I could feel her slickness wetting the

fabric.

I almost hurled her onto the bed. She landed on her

back, dress rucked up around her hips, and stared up at

me with a look that drove me wild. It was only there for

a second, but it was like looking down through layers of

ice to white-hot magma. Underneath all that cold, there

was a raw, powerful lust that matched my own. The

idea of that, in a woman as gorgeous as her, blew my

mind.

I tore off my coat and climbed onto the bed, one knee

between her legs. Her dress had slid down a little and I

started to push it up again, wanting to grab hold of her

panties and pull them off. I wanted to see her, there,

just gaze at her for a while, then I was going to spread

those thighs and lick her until she screamed—

My elbow hit the little table next to her bed. A framed

picture fell over and toppled over the edge. I grabbed

for it and caught it before it hit the floor, then lifted it to put it back in its place—

I froze.

That’s—

No, of course it fucking isn’t.

I lay there willing the picture to change, but it

stubbornly refused to. Yes, it fucking is.

The picture had been taken in a forest. There was Irina,
