‘Come on,’ he said. ‘Get dressed.
‘That’s bribery.’
‘Yep.’
Well, two could play at that game. ‘Fine,’ she said, half-heartedly sitting up, putting her legs over the bed and reaching for her clothes. ‘Let’s go and get something to eat...’
She picked up her bra and Steele took it from her hands.
He placed it beneath her breasts and did it up at the back and while he did so she could feel his breath on her shoulder and she was more than a little aware of his erection through his trousers. He took one of her breasts and gently stuffed it into the fabric but his hand stayed in there, stroking her, teasing her, and she sat still as his lips started to nuzzle the other one, licking and sucking at her nipple, stretching it with his lips as her hands moved to his head and urged him for more contact. But then he stopped. She looked down as he went to tuck her wet, very aroused breast back into her bra, and she decided he was cruel, so cruel that she knew if she didn’t relent they would be sitting eating a curry or watching a movie about half an hour from now.
‘Okay.’ Her voice was all husky and she didn’t really recognise it as hers. She cleared her throat, but it still sounded the same.
‘As you know, my parents are Italian,’ Candy said, and her head was on his shoulder as he unhooked her bra again.
‘Okay.’
‘Strict,’ she said. His hands were now on her hips and she lifted her bottom to allow for him to take her panties down.
‘Go on,’ Steele said, which was contrary to his words because he was kneeling with his mouth on hers as she spoke.
‘And they chose the most beautiful name that means pure and innocent...’ she said, and she felt the stretch of his lips on hers as he smiled as she told him what she had sworn she wouldn’t. ‘And then when I hit my teenage years I noticed that people started to snicker and...’
‘What is it?’ Steele asked.
‘What’s the medical term for thrush?’
He pulled back and smiled. ‘Candida.’
‘Which is why I became Candy. Sadly, not to my parents. They still insist on calling me by my full name.’
‘Were you teased?’ he said to her mouth as his hand parted her thighs and his fingers slipped inside her.
Mercilessly.
‘Poor baby...’ Steele said.
‘Oh...’ Candy moaned, her thighs quivering.
He felt her thighs clamp around his hand and her head rest on his shoulder and there was that blissful choice whether to feel her come now or dive in for the pleasure.
Greed won.
He removed his hand and she let out a small sob of frustration combined with bliss as he stood and she sat naked, a breath away from him as he slid down his zipper and undressed. He handed her a condom and she shook her head.
‘You do it.’
‘You.’
Okay, she was bad at this part, except his erection was at her cheeks and she was licking her lips as she undid the foil. She had never seen something so lovely, so fierce, so tempting, and the quicker she did this and the quicker she came were very good incentives to get it on.
She played for a moment, loving the feel of him naked in her hands, teasing him with hot breaths to the head, cupping him in her hand.
‘Candy.’
His voice was deeper, if at all possible, impatient and deliciously stern, and she would have loved to find out what might happen if she teased him further, dragged this out a little longer. Instead, she briefly looked up at chocolate-brown eyes that made her feel as sexy as hell.
‘Put it on,’ he said.
She did as she was told, unravelling it along his lovely thick length and deliberately taking her time, loving the sound of his sharp breathing and then the impatient way he pushed her hands away when the job was done.
He pushed her shoulder lightly and it was like dominoes falling, because she toppled back on the bed and he lifted her legs abruptly for daring to keep him waiting. She was compliant, wonderfully so. Talk about boys to men, Candy thought as he seared inside her and then she wrapped her legs around him. It was like comparing apples to oranges. He knew exactly what to do as he moved deep inside her. His erection was so strong and fierce that each thrust took her to a place she had never been before.
