It was raining the night that Edmond showed up at my door. His dark hair was drenched, and I shivered as I ran my hand through it.
"How are you?" I asked, not really sure what else to say.
We had been talking for several weeks about what I wanted, and tonight was all about me. It wasn't that I didn't want him to feel pleasure, more than I wanted his pleasure to come from mine. Perhaps that was a little selfish of me.
"I'm fine," he said, his voice running over me like hot spice, leaving me with a delectably warm tingle. He moved into the room and looked around.
I had moved into my new house only a few months before, but already it felt like me. The living room was rich with color, soft leather furniture, softer blankets. I had laid out the tools for our evening and I saw as his eyes moved over them.
"Just like we talked about?" he asked, his expressive steel eyes burning into my own.
I swallowed, not believing this was finally happening. "Yes."
He moved behind me at the sound of my meek voice and I felt his body press up against my own. He lifted the hair from the nape of my neck and gently kissed. Then again. His hand moved around and began caressing the hollow of my throat, his thumb stroking almost as a promise for what was to come.
"Are you sure about this?" He said in that seductively warm voice.
I had no words left in me, I nodded. I felt his hips press further into me as he reached around my front and began to remove my shirt. His knuckles grated against my taunt stomach and his palms lightly struck my already enticed nipples as he pulled the garment over my head. In spite of the fireplace burning in the corner, I shivered. I felt his hands move down my arms, and back up again; then just the tips of his fingers. Up and down, up and down, and the kisses on my neck had resumed. I felt him kiss lightly down my spine to the place where my bra sat and then felt as his tongue left a trail moving back up.
