“I’m whatever it takes, as long as you keep doing your part.” He nodded at the activity between her thighs.
If he said anything more, she missed it, because he dragged his belt out of the loops so deftly the leather whipped the air. Then his eyes locked with hers in the mirror. “What’s it going to take?”
“You,” she bit out, and quickened her pace. “Naked.”
He whisked off his pants and underwear, and then stood, gloriously, staggeringly naked while golden light filtered through the doors and gilded his skin. His cock bobbled from the movement and then landed with a little smack against the taut drum of his abdomen.
“Touch me,” she added, pushing the words from momentarily clumsy lips.
He approached the bed. Behind her, the mattress gave under his weight, forcing her to plant her knees wider and lean forward to keep from toppling.
Then his hands were on her. Wide palms smoothed up her thighs, squeezed her backside, cupped her breasts—enflamed her everywhere. She amped the vibe to a speedier setting. Her vision blurred as new waves of sensation swept through her.
“Look at me.”
Oh God. She blinked and focused on his reflection.
“Does it feel good?” One hand kneaded her breast. The other molded to the back of her thigh.
“So good. I feel so good.”
“You’re the seduction, Czarina. Look at you, all flushed and glowing.” He stopped to press a hard kiss to the point of her shoulder and then trapped her gaze in the mirror. It was the only part of her she could hold still.
“Can you get yourself off, just like this?”
The possibility twisted inside her, twining so tight she gasped, but she shook her head. The programmed rotations of the vibrator and the predictable thrusts of her hips weren’t enough. She couldn’t lose control the way she yearned to. Worse, she didn’t want to. She wanted…she wanted… “I need you. Inside me.”
He looked at her a moment more, then picked up the black bag and flicked it.
A small black and green tube rolled onto the bed.
Chapter Thirteen
“Another careful selection?”
Despite the attempt at sass, the czarina’s words weren’t quite steady. She swallowed and stared at the lube. Jesus, she killed him with her quick mouth and wide eyes. “Feel how wet you are here?” He trailed his fingers along her slick inner thigh. “Feel all this natural lube you’ve teased out of your pussy with that pretty pink vibrator?”
She nodded. Her hair tumbled over her shoulders; her breasts heaved against the black lace. She had her legs spread and her busy hand still working the vibe.
He picked up the tube and pumped the clear liquid onto his fingers. “I’m going to make sure you’re just as wet for me.” He rubbed his thumb across his fingers to warm the lube, and then danced them along the back of her thigh.
She jumped as if he’d shocked her and then gave a self-conscious laugh. “God. Sorry.”
Nervous. But also excited. He could feel the anticipation snapping between them. “Shhh. Relax.” He wrapped his arm around her waist and held her. Just held her. “Keep doing what you’re doing. Don’t mind me.”
“Ohhh”—her response trailed off as he rimmed the target and then eased one finger inside—“kaaaay.”
He went as deep as his first knuckle and did a slow circle. The hand between her legs faltered on the vibrator.
“Here’s how this works, Czarina. You stop, I stop. Are we stopping?”
“No.” She answered with heart-touching speed and reinforced her hold on the vibe. “No. Don’t stop.”
He waited until she got her rhythm going again and used that momentum to his advantage, letting her take his finger as long and as deep as she saw fit, encouraging her with low words. When she’d worked it all the way in and held it deep for several seconds at a time before withdrawing, he tightened his arm around her waist to keep her still. “Ready for another finger?”
Her head tipped back against his shoulder, and she rolled it from side to side. Her eyelids drifted low. “I—I don’t know.” Despite her uncertain words, she continued to whisk the vibrator in, out, and around her sex.
“You are so ready, Czarina. And when I give it to you, you’re going to thank me.” Still, he held back for a moment, to give her the chance to disagree, or ask to slow down. When she did neither, he introduced another finger.
