hole and parted his collar enough to press her lips against his throat. She smiled when she felt him swallow.
The next stud she removed gave her a tiny glimpse of his hair-dusted chest. She touched that spot with two fingertips. His skin felt damp.
“Are you hot?” she asked, looking up into his eyes.
“Yeah,” he rasped.
“Why don’t I take off your jacket?”
Zach released her and dropped his arms to his sides. Jade slid her hands up his chest to his shoulders, enjoying the firmness of his muscles on the journey. Gathering the jacket in her hands, she tugged it down his arms and let it fall to the floor behind him. She slid off his suspenders and let them hang at his hips. Slowly, oh so slowly, she began to release the rest of the studs on his shirt. A bit more of his skin came into view. Brown hair swirled over his chest and tapered down his flat stomach.
Jade couldn’t stop a whimpering sigh. She loved hair on a man’s chest.
Zach placed his hands back on her waist. Jade reached around him and unhooked his cummerbund. He dipped his head and pressed a kiss on her neck as she tugged his shirt from the waistband of his trousers. His lips moved up her neck, dropping kisses along the way. His tongue darted into her ear, then he suckled her earlobe.
Jade never knew her earlobe was an erogenous zone.
Her nipples beaded, her pussy wept. She wanted to draw out their lovemaking, make it last for a long time, but she didn’t know if she could. She wanted him so much now, she didn’t think it would be possible for her to wait much longer.
The shirt had to go. Longing to see his naked chest and arms, she pushed the shirt off his shoulders and down his arms, only to have it catch at his wrists.
Zach chuckled softly. “I think you forgot some of the studs.”
“I think I did, too.” She ran her fingertips down his chest to his waist and back up again. What a magnificent body. “Although I think I like you helpless like this.”
His mouth quirked. “I never would have believed you’d be into bondage.”
“I’m not. Or at least…” She slid one hand past his waistband. “…I wasn’t until now.”
He hitched in a breath when she touched his cock. Jade traced his shaft with her fingers, learning his shape and impressive size through the layers of cloth covering it. Her gaze shifted back and forth between his eyes and her hand. “There’s something very…exciting about having control over you.”
His breathing became deeper, heavier, as she caressed him. When she slipped one hand beneath his balls and squeezed, his eyes blazed.
“Get this damn shirt off me, Jade,” he growled, “before I tear it off.”
She smirked. His little temptress actually smirked. She was enjoying her power over him way too much. “I mean it, Jade.”
“It’s a beautiful shirt. Surely you don’t really want to tear it.”
Zach didn’t give a damn about his shirt. He had a half-dozen shirts at home in his closet just like this one. The only clothing he cared about covered Jade’s body. He’d tried to be patient. He’d danced with her, kissed her tenderly, held her close to him, when he wanted her naked and writhing beneath him. Patience could only go so far.
He’d reached his limit when she’d squeezed his balls. He wanted her clothes off now . “Unfasten the studs, Jade.”
She did, although she took her time doing it. She’d barely had time to let the studs fall from her hand when Zach jerked off his shirt. He slipped one arm around her back, one under her knees, and lifted her.
“Where’s your bedroom?”
“The end of the hall,” she said, her voice breathless.
His strides ate up the distance in only seconds. Luckily, she’d left her bedroom door ajar, so he didn’t have to release Jade to open it. He didn’t want to let go of her until she lay on her bed.
Placing one knee on the bed, he lowered her to the thick comforter before reclining next to her. He cradled her face in one hand and
