“Are you trying to add to your list of sins?” He put out his hands and began to creep around the room, trying to find her. “Once I have you, you will be punished. Best to give up now before it’s too late.”
She only giggled some more. She realized that was a stupid thing to do when he turned and headed in her direction. Everything was a blur to him but there was nothing wrong with his hearing.
She dashed away just in time and laughed when he bumped into the standing lamp. Luckily it didn’t topple over. She decided to put an end to the teasing. This cat and mouse game was fun but it was ratcheting up the sexual tension that had been building inside her. She’d thought the game would take her mind away from her desire for Rico but instead the hunt, playful though it was, had only made her want him more.
“Rico,” she called out from the other end of the room, “let's make a deal. I’ll give you your glasses back if you agree to do everything I say.”
“Everything?” he asked with a lascivious smile.
“Everything,” she replied, her tone breathless.
“Deal.” He held out his hands, palms upward. “I am yours, mademoiselle. Do with me what you will.”
Gosh, that sounded good. Her mouth went dry in anticipation. He was offering himself to her and she planned on taking full advantage. She straightened her back and with a sniff she walked over and took his outstretched hands. She’d hooked the glasses onto the front of her dress. She wasn’t giving them back, not just yet. She was enjoying keeping him slightly off balance.
“Take me to your bedroom,” she said boldly. “I have an assignment for you. Let's see how well you execute.” She released his hands and reached up to pull his head down. “If you do a good job,” she whispered in his ear, “I might just give you your glasses back.”
She heard the laughter rumble deep in his chest but he did not say a word. He simply nodded and taking her hand, he turned to leave the sitting room.
Rico had no problem finding his bedroom without the help of his glasses. He led her down the hall and within seconds he was pushing open the door to a massive bedroom with a king-sized bed in the middle.
Asia pulled her hand from Rico’s grasp and pushed the door shut behind them. Then she sauntered over to the bed and sat down. “Come to me,” she whispered and held out her arms. She was warming to the game, getting into her role as seductress. She’d set out to tame this man and she planned to do it in more ways than one.
When he came to sit beside her, Asia ran her fingers through his hair then stood up so that she was the one looking down at him. Then she lowered her lips to his forehead, his cheeks, the tip of his nose, giving him heated little kisses that were just a hint of her passion for him.
He lifted his mouth, searching for her with his lips, but she refused him that pleasure. She would not give him what he wanted, not yet.
With trembling fingers she began to undo the buttons on his shirt. Then she slid the garment off his shoulders and stepped back to admire the beauty of his lean, muscled torso as it gleamed in the pale moonlight that stole through the window.
He reached out a hand to touch her but she held his wrist. “No,” she whispered. “Unzip me first.” She slipped the glasses off the front of her dress and laid it on the night table then she turned her back to him. As the zipper went down she slid the straps from her shoulders and let her dress fall to the floor. Then she turned to him, dressed only in bra and panties, and her heart soared as she saw desire flare in his dark eyes.
“Lie back on the pillows," she commanded and couldn’t help but smile when he moved willingly, eagerly, to fulfill her order. When it came to fulfilling his desire a man could be as obedient as a lamb.
Asia climbed onto the bed, deciding to be even more daring than ever. She straddled Rico, her knees pressed into the bed on either side of him, then she pushed his arms up, grabbed his wrists and pressed them into the pillows, trapping them on either side of his head.
“Are you going to give me everything I want?” she growled playfully.
“Oui, mademoiselle.” His voice was raspy as if he was having trouble breathing.
“And you will follow my every command?”
“Oui, mademoiselle,” he repeated.
“Then kiss me here.” She thrust forward, her lace-covered br**sts just inches from his lips, her arousal evident in the sharp points of her ni**les.
Obediently he lifted his head to plant a warm kiss on the exposed fullness of one breast then the other. Then he captured a laced-covered nipple between his teeth and tugged and nibbled before moving to the other nipple. When she gasped in delight he gripped the right bra cup with his teeth and pulled it down and immediately slipped the tortured nipple into his mouth where he sucked and soothed until Asia felt she would swoon from the pleasure.
He moved to the other where he exposed the nipple and administered the same tantalizing caress and Asia’s bones melted like chocolate in the rays of the sun. She sagged into him, breathing hard. Before she could recover Rico pulled his wrist from her grasp and wrapped his arms around her. Then he rolled over, trapping her beneath him.
“What else does mademoiselle want?” he whispered, his lips so close that his breath tickled her ear. “I promised to give you everything.”
“I want…you.” Asia was panting now.
He bent his head and kissed her on the lips. “Whatever the lady desires.” Rico slid off the bed and loosened his belt. Soon belt, trousers and boxer shorts were sliding down his lean legs to the floor. He stood straight and tall, his erection proudly declaring his state of arousal.
Inexplicably, Asia felt a blush creep up and over her body. How could she be embarrassed when she was the one who had started all this? As he reached for his wallet on the nightstand she closed her eyes. As soon as he was sheathed he would be all hers and she was both eager and afraid at the thought.
When Rico climbed back onto the bed and reached for her Asia did not open her eyes. Before, she’d come off as bad, bold and sure of herself. Now, not so much. What if after tonight Rico never wanted to see her again? There were men like that - when they got you in bed, once they'd got a taste of the forbidden fruit, they lost all interest. What if that happened to her?
