bath is probably ready to overflow.â
He hustled her out of the room and down the hall. The tub was full, but he caught it in time. Kneeling, he shut off the water, set a thick towel on the ceramic floor just outside the tub, and turnedâin time to see Erica unbuttoning her shirt.
Apparently, their exchange had emboldened her. Ian dropped back onto his ass with a thump and watched, spellbound. She smiled as she slipped each button free, knowing she drove him crazy and enjoying it.
âI told you that I take my shoes off when I get home, but know what else I like to take off?â
âYour clothes?â Damn, he sounded hopeful.
âSometimes. But my shoes and my bra are always the first to go. Both are so constrictive. You wonât mind if I spend the weekend barefoot and braless, will you?â
He shook his head, rendered mute by the sight of pale flesh visible through the gaping shirt. Any second now heâd see her breasts. Be strong, he told himself. Do not start groveling. Or drooling. Drooling would be bad, too.
And here heâd thought this would be the easy part.
She shrugged the shirt off her shoulders and tossed it at his face. âFold that for me.â
âRight.â He dropped it to his lap, unwilling to look away for even a second.
She reached behind herself and dragged down the zipper on her skirt. âIan?â
âMmm?â
âI need you to help me. Tug this down my hips, okay, so I can step out of it.â
Oh, good Lord. He moved forward on his knees and reached for the skirt. But that close to her, his hands automatically went to bare flesh. He shaped her waist, loving the fine texture of her skin in contrast to his rough palms. Her belly was gently rounded, smooth and pale, and her navel made only the slightest indent. He had to kiss it.
âIan? The skirt.â
He cleared his throat and gathered what meager control he had left. He just hadnât counted on the effect of her nudity. He felt like a ravening beast, hungry, in heat, ready to conquer. He wanted her under himânow.
The skirt was tight and had to be worked down. Her panties almost came with it, tripping his heart and freezing his breath in his lungs, but at the last second she caught the waistband and kept them on her hips.
Her bra matched her panties, and the shiny peach shade did interesting things to her rich black hair and ivory skin. It also did interesting things to his dick, making him swell to a full, demanding erection.
Through the thin material of her underclothes, he could see the darker circles of her nipples and a neat triangle of pubic hair between her legs. Still on his kneesâa position now somewhat familiar with Ericaâhe reached up for the front clasp of her bra, then waited.
âGo ahead,â she whispered.
Ian had been in his teens when heâd mastered getting a femaleâs clothes off her. He sure as hell didnât fumble now. The bra clasp opened and he drew the material apart. She lowered her arms and the straps slid down, then off so that the bra landed on the floor.
Her nipples, not pink but a deep mauve, were tightly puckered, making him groan. She didnât have large breasts but they were soft and round and this was Erica. Heâd wanted her for so long, he almost couldnât remember ever not wanting her.
Erica curved her hand around his neck. âI want you to kiss me.â
His gaze snapped to hers but he didnât need more encouragement than that. Oh, he knew what she intended: to make him hot, then make him stop.
She wanted some payback.
But hell, he was already hot, and stopping wouldnât be easy for her, either. Eventually she wouldnât want to stop. He knew he was right about that.
He lifted himself a little higher until his face was level with her torso. Wrapping his arms around her he tugged her close, tilted his head, and drew her left nipple deep into the wet warmth of his mouth. He sucked, not
