She stared at him, the expression on her face saying it all. She wanted to believe him, but she wasn’t sure.
And how he hated the doubt he put there—in her heart, in her mind.
He would work harder than ever to get back that trust. Obliterate the doubt that filled her once and for all.
“Come on.” He slipped his hand from beneath her skirt and grabbed her hand, giving it a squeeze. “Let’s go back to my place.”
“Your place?” Her eyebrows lifted. “We never go to your place.”
“I know.” He brought their clutched hands to his mouth and brushed a kiss across her knuckles. The scent of her still lingered on his fingers and he breathed deep. “I can still smell you.” He licked his finger, making sure he touched her flesh with his tongue. “Delicious.”
“Oh.” Her weak voice made his skin tighten. “Well, we should go then, shouldn’t we?”
His anxious cock told him yes
indeed, they should go. “Hell yeah, we should. Let’s put these showboaters to shame.”
Her laughter followed him all the way out of the club.
It was the sweetest sound he’d ever heard.
Chapter Eight
Stacy’s feet glided as if she walked on air. Endorphins still pumped through her veins, and her skin prickled with awareness. A sense of utter joy filled her as she watched Eric unlock the door to his apartment and then hold the door open for her. She entered cautiously and Eric walked in behind her, his arms closing around her the moment he slammed the door shut and turned the lock home.
Sighing, she leaned against him, her body melting into his. His insistent erection throbbed against her backside reminding her that while she’d been satisfied earlier at the voyeur club he took her to, he had yet to find his pleasure. She vowed to remedy that situation immediately.
“Mmm.” He nuzzled her hair, pushed it aside with his fingers and pressed a soft, damp kiss to her neck. “Did you enjoy our little adventure?”
“Oh, yes.” She nodded, giggled when he nibbled on her skin. “I still can’t believe I—did that.”
“What? Have an orgasm in a public place with all sorts of people surrounding you?” His voice sounded innocent but his intent was as usual, wicked.
“Exactly.” She hadn’t been able to stop herself from falling apart when he touched her like that. While she watched the sexiest threesome unfold live and up close. Who knew she would get off watching?
Eric. He seemed to know. Despite everything that had happened between them, the difficulties, the trials, his ridiculous behavior, he knew her.
She just wished he could realize life wouldn’t be so bad if they were together.
Determination made her grip him tight; clasp his free hand in both of hers. She wouldn’t let him push her away. Needed to make him see they belonged together.
“Baby, I thought it was the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen.” He kissed her neck again, licked her as his hand wandered. Drifting across her stomach, sliding up until he was cupping her breast. “Let’s get you naked.”
“No way.” She shook her head and removed his hand from her breast reluctantly. She wasn’t about to get distracted. It was his turn. “You need to get naked.”
“I’m not protesting.” Hearing the laughter in his voice, she smiled when he released her and he set off toward his bedroom at a breakneck pace.
Stacy followed him, taking her time, secretly wanting to drive him nuts. Of course, he was on to her, casting a knowing glance her way as he stripped himself of his clothing. She stood in the doorway, crossed her arms in front of her as she watched him. He unbuttoned his shirt and shook it off, letting it drop to the floor in a soft heap. Unsnapped his jeans and pushed them off his hips, taking his underwear with them. Revealing everything completely, the beautiful hard muscles of his body, the very hard thrust of his cock. He knew she was watching, his gaze locked on hers and never wavered as he removed every stitch of clothing until he stood before her completely naked. Her eyes widened as she drank him in, wondering if she would ever grow tired of watching him.
She doubted it.
“Well, you got me naked. Now what are you going to do with me?” he drawled, looking way too comfortable standing before her without a stitch of clothing on.
“Sit on the edge of the bed.” She knew exactly what she wanted to do with him and the first call to order was positioning him. She planned to stay in control tonight, hoping it allowed him to give up some of that precious control he held onto so carefully.
More than anything, she wanted to drive him wild. Make him realize what they shared was too good to ever even think of letting go.
“Yes, ma’am.” He saluted her and sat on the end of the bed, feet planted on the floor and legs spread wide. His thick cock jutted toward his belly, and she caught a glimpse of a gleam of moisture pearling at the tip.
