flesh with a softly tantalising touch that made her

press closer to him until he responded to her need and

slipped his hand into the softly fluted leg of her underwear

to cover her sex.

Completely lost, Jodie made a small delirious

sound of pleasure into his kiss that turned to a broken

exclamation of shocked delight when he slid his fingers

into her waiting wetness. The feel of the slow

movement of his fingers over her aroused flesh was

both an exquisite pleasure and an almost unbearable

torment. She wanted him to go on doing what he was

doing, but she wanted him inside her as well, filling

her, satisfying the need that was tightening round her.

She moaned out loud as he plucked softly at the

aroused nub of her clitoris, her own hand going immediately

to the thick thrust of his own erection, easily visible

beneath his clothes but frustratingly separated

from the full intimacy of her touch by them.

'Wait,' she heard him tell her thickly, and then he

was lifting her, placing her back on the bed before

swiftly removing his clothes. She lay back, her head

on the pillows, watching him with an absorbed, hungry,

unashamed eagerness, her breath coming in soft

little panting gasps of need, her hand resting over her

own sex, not to protect it, but to quieten it as it pulsed

its clamouring message of readiness.

His nakedness excited her so much. She couldn’t

drag her gaze away from the stiff length of his erection

as it thrust upwards from the soft dark mat of his

body hair. It crossed her mind that she should be feeling

virginal fear instead of such a delirious sense of

eager excitement. He was leaning over her, removing

her briefs, watching her as he did so. Heat and shock

suffused her as he slowly slid one finger the length

of her wetness. Greedily her body lifted towards him

and his finger traced her again, stroking and lingering,

caressing the hard little nub of excitement clamouring

for his attention and then slowly, very deliberately,

sliding inside her. Jodie gasped and then moaned in

delight as she felt him stretching her gently, still caressing

her.

His body was covering hers now, and he was kissing

her. Eagerly she kissed him back, only stopping

when she felt the loss of his pleasure-giving fingers.

Her eyes rounded and her face burned when he lifted

his hand towards her lips and told her thickly, 'Taste

yourself on me.' Hesitantly she opened her mouth and

let him place his fingers within it, closing her eyes

and obeying his whispered, 'Suck them,' as she drew

in the taste of her own arousal mingled with the taste

of his skin and felt the power of the aphrodisiac he

was giving her.

Now she was totally lost, a mindless slave to her

own sexuality and need as his hands and his mouth

caressed every part of her. Her shoulder, the inner

flesh of her arm, her breasts, her belly, and she

writhed and moaned and reached for him with her

own hands and mouth, savouring the sharp taste of

him as she breathed in his intimate man scent and felt

its erotic impact on her senses. She ached to let her

tongue-tip circle the stiff shiny head of his sex, but

Lorenzo wouldn’t let her. Instead his tongue was exploring

her, tracing a sensual pathway of fiery pleasure

over her wetness, stroking firmly against her clitoris,

taking her far, far beyond the furthermost

reaches of her own sensual imaginings. She wanted

him so much. Too much…

Abruptly, reality pierced her sexual arousal and she

tensed, pushing Lorenzo away whilst her body

screamed its pain at her denial of its pleasure.

Lorenzo sat up, frowning, and made to take her in

his arms, but Jodie resisted him and shook her head,

telling him fiercely, 'No!'

'What? What are you saying? You want me — you

were giving yourself to me…' he insisted fiercely.

'And you want to prove that all women are like

your mother — that we all lie and cheat. Yes, I do want

you,' she agreed shakily. 'But I want my self-respect

more.'

As she spoke she was wriggling away from his restraining

arm and getting off the bed, hurriedly gathering

up her scattered clothes, fully aware that

Lorenzo was watching her but not daring to look back

at him in case her resolve wasn’t able to withstand

her doing so.

Lorenzo lay on his bed and stared up at the ceiling.

The ache he could feel inside himself was just physical,

that was all. And the emotion burning inside him

was just furious anger that Jodie should dare to say

to him what she had. She meant nothing to him.

Nothing!

The emptiness of his bed without her was something

that he welcomed, rather than regretted. As he

would welcome the emptiness of his life once she had

gone from it, he assured himself fiercely.

The reason he had been so sexually aroused by her,

so sexually lost in the sweetness of her, was simply

that it had been too long since there had been a

woman in his bed. And that was a need he could
