In other circumstances, she might be shy, but in this, Cassandra was tantalizingly open.
Pretty brown curls were revealed to his hungry gaze now that her panties were on the floor with the rest of their clothes. The natural feminine mystique was a nice change from the waxed, shaved and tweezed nether regions he’d been exposed to over the past few years.
He ruffled the curls with his fingertips and she bit her lip on a moan.
He smiled. “Sensitive?”
“Yes, but…”
He brushed his hands down her legs, stopping with them clasped around her ankles. “There are so many things your body can feel that I look forward to showing you.”
“And will you feel them, too?”
She was smart, his sweet little Cassandra. “Yes. Giving you pleasure will turn me on so much I won’t be able to stop—”
“Pounding into me.”
The earthy words coming from her prim mouth were almost enough to send him over the edge. “You are dangerous, pethi mou.”
“That’s good to know.” And indeed, she did look proud of herself. Then she dipped her head, looking up at him through her lashes in a gesture he was coming to recognize as her default in uncertainty. “You won’t really pound. Not at first, will you?”
“Sweetheart, I will never hurt you. Not even accidentally. I will be so careful with you, you will beg me to hurry.”
“That could be fun.” Her words were all bravado, but the relief in her lovely features told its own story.
“Yes, I think it will be.”
“You know what else would be fun?”
“Many things. What did you have in mind?” he asked, enjoying himself in a way he never had in bed with a woman.
“You. Naked.”
“You are a delight.”
“I can’t tell you how pleased I am to hear that. Now, strip.”
“I have already stripped, or hadn’t you noticed?”
“Don’t be smart. You know what I want.”
“Ah, you wish equal disrobing?”
“Well, you’ve just got those small briefs left and they don’t look like they’re very comfortable.” She did her best to appear like his comfort was all that concerned her. Of course, the innocent hunger in her eyes sort of ruined that.
Nevertheless, he looked down at himself and had to agree with her assessment. His briefs did not look comfortable, not with the way his hardness was trying to press out of them. The fabric was stretched thin trying to cover the length of his rigid penis and he had to wonder how much longer they would be able to do so. Though he was not sure he wanted to remove them just yet.
Leaving them on was a mental boundary for him. The last barrier between him and the untouched channel between her legs.
Instead of answering, he stalled for time by running a hand up the inside of her thigh.
She shivered, letting her legs drift farther apart. “Everywhere you touch feels so amazing, like I’ve got electric currents running under my skin and your fingers are the conductors.”
“I like making you feel electrified.” He let his fingertip dip into the honeyed warmth of her passage and had to stifle a growl of pleasure. She was soft, silky and wet.
Everything he so desperately needed.
Neo’s fingers breached Cass’s vaginal entrance for the first time and her brain emptied in a red haze of desire.
Everything they had done so far was new for her, but this was in its own class. Having him touch her there made her feel like she belonged to him on a primal level. And although he was the one doing the touching, that didn’t stop her from feeling like he belonged to her, too.
A wholly alien sense of possessiveness washed over her even as she shifted again to give him better access to her most feminine place.
He touched her like he couldn’t get enough and that was more stimulating than the caresses themselves. It made her feel wanted for something other than her talent at the piano. For the first time in her memory.
This was no friend having pity on the hopelessly innocent. Neo wanted her and every touch of his hand or mouth showed just how much.
As did the erection seriously tenting his briefs. She wanted to see his male member, she really did, but couldn’t seem to remember how to make her mouth work to remind him of that fact. She couldn’t take her eyes off his body.
He chuckled, a dark and sexy sound that only increased the arousal pulsing powerfully through her body.
“How does this feel?” He pressed one finger inside her. She wondered how anything bigger was ever going to fit because she felt stretched with that single entry.
“Full,” she got out breathlessly.
“Do not worry. You will stretch to accommodate me.”
