EXCERPT

Sarah stands up and presses her lips against mine. And it’s so unexpected, so surprising—I freeze up. But only for a moment. As her mouth gently moves over mine, I begin to thaw. She’s so fucking soft, her taste so very sweet. The kiss is almost chaste—at least it’s the most chaste I’ve ever had. Unpracticed.

            And yet, it still manages to make my heart pound against my ribs like an animal in a cage.

            “What are you doing?” I whisper, when she pulls back just a little.

            “I’m distracting you.” She looks up at me uncertainly. From behind those ridiculously prim little glasses with those big, dark eyes that could bring me to my knees. “Is it working?”

            My tongue traces my lower lip, craving more of her.

            “I’m not sure. Keep trying—I’ll let you know.”

            She smiles quick and relieved . . . and then she reaches back up, wraps her arms about my neck, and kisses me.

            Her two lips envelop my lower one, then the upper, all eager, pleasing sweetness. My hands find Sarah’s lower back and I pull her in close, tight against me. Slowly, I open my mouth and she mirrors my movement, opening for me. And it’s good. So very, very good.

            It’s like my blood has turned to gasoline, and the touch of her wet, warm tongue is the spark.

            I delve deeper, kiss her harder—more demanding—taking the lead. I cup her head in my hands, holding her still while I plunge and devour. A moan seeps from her lips and I devour that too.

            But then, breathing harshly, I tear my mouth away.

            “Sarah, maybe we shouldn’t. Maybe we should just—”

            “I’m sick of being afraid, Henry. And I’m so tired of being alive . . . but not really living. I’ve wanted this for a long time. I want . . . you.” It’s only then that hesitation dims her eyes. “Do you want me too?”

            I grip her arms. “More than I’ve wanted anything or anyone in my entire life.”

            She takes my hands in hers, lifts them and presses my palms to her breasts. They’re soft and full and absolutely perfect.

            “Show me.”

            Beneath her robe, her bedclothes are paper thin. I trace my thumbs across her nipples, feeling them harden and peak. I want to suck on them until she’s mindless. I want to lick every inch of her skin and watch her flush with desire.

            I wrap my arms around Sarah and lift her right off her feet. With a groan, my mouth is back to hers. Her small pretty hands cup my jaw as I carry her toward the bed. I stop against a wall on the way, knocking a frame sideways, lifting her leg in one hand and wrapping it around my hip so I can thrust against her.

            There’s so much I know—deviant, filthy, lovely moves. And I want to teach her every damn one.
