"I know you like to have sex." It didn't sound quite as juvenile as that when I it popped into my mind. "I mean, you were talking about sex with a woman a few weeks ago on the phone when you called me to your apartment."
Tilting his head he kisses me softly. "I think I was interviewing Ruby on the phone that day."
I laugh loudly, throwing my neck back so violently with joy that my head hits the wall with a loud thump.” You were not talking to Ruby about sex that day."
"Oh?" His hand reaches up to rub the back of my skull. "Ruby made it very clear when I hired her that I could use her in any way I want."
I grimace at both the thought of that proposition and the lump that is now growing on the back of my scalp. "We're not fucking other people, right?"
"There's no one in this room but me and you." His hands both drop to my skirt again.
I inch my legs apart, willing his fingers to my core so he can feel how wet I am. "You know what I mean."
"I don't want you to touch another man, Bell." His lips sweep across my neck. "I don't want any other woman."
"You're all mine?" I whisper the words softly. "Tell me you're all mine."
"I'm all yours," he says as he drops to his knees, pulls my panties aside and tongues me until I fall into his arms.

"I thought we were going to fuck." I adjust my skirt and blouse.
He rakes his hand through his now messy hair. "Why does my cock get hard as soon as I hear you say that word?"
"Fuck?" I don't turn in his direction as I reach into my purse to retrieve my lipstick.
"When did you start saying that?"
He's beside me now, taking the slender case from my fingers. I stand in silence as he twists the tube, pulling the nude lipstick into view. He carefully applies it to my mouth.
"I started saying it when I started doing it. I mean I don't say it to men, or any of the men I've been with. Just you." I pucker my lips together. "Do my lips look nice?"
"Christ." He shakes his head as he drops the tube back in my purse. "You may be the most sensual woman I've ever met."
"Me?" My hand leaps to my chest and I realize my bra is peeking out of the top of my blouse. "I'm not that sensual."
He adjusts the top of my shirt, carefully folding the fabric over so it hides the lace of my bra. "That's what makes you so hot, Bell. You don't even know what you do to men."
That's actually very true. I know the fundamentals of what to do to a man when we're both naked. Outside the bedroom, when it comes to the allure of seduction, I'm like a doe that is lost in the woods. I've always just been myself and that's worked for me.
"Back to my original comment," I say before I bend over to adjust the strap of my shoe. "Why didn't you make love to me?"
"I want the next time I make love to you to be in my bed." He looks down at his watch. "Say, in three hours? Does that work for you?"
"It works." I glide my hand down his cheek. "I'll be there."
Chapter 47
I arch my back just as his teeth bite into my nipple. The mixture of pure pain and pointed pleasure pulls a deep moan from within me. I'd promised myself before I got to Caleb's apartment that I'd enjoy every single sensation. I want this night to last forever. It's the first time I'm going to sleep with him. He had insisted on the ride over to his place, from mine, that we'd fall asleep in one another's arms.
He moves slowly across my chest, kissing the soft skin between my breasts. He cups the tender flesh in his hand, rolling it within his palm. "Your breasts as so beautiful. I love how they feel."
I love how he's vocal about my body. I crave the knowledge that it's everything he wants it to be. "Kiss my nipple, Caleb."
His hair tickles my skin as he lowers his mouth to the swollen bud. He kisses it gently at first, before pulling it between his lips. He sucks it, loudly and carefully. I squirm from the feelings it creates in my core. I'm already wet and wanting. I was that way as soon as we'd finished the dinner he'd ordered in for us.
"If I could spend all of my time in this bed with you, I would." He rests his head between my breasts. "I don't need anything in the world but you."
