  Leslie moaned and pressed her forehead to Dev’s shoulder. “Yes.

  Please, now.”

  Hands linked, mouths searching for quick kisses, they stumbled to the foot of

  the bed. Arms entwined, they freed buttons and lowered zippers and shed shoes

  and clothes until they were nearly nude.

  “Let me,” Dev said as Leslie reached to unhook her own bra.

  Leslie let her hands fall to her sides, clad only in her bra and pale silk bikinis.

  Her stomach was ß uttering with arousal, her breasts almost painfully engorged.

  Her breath had ß ed at the Þ rst brush of Dev’s hands on her skin, and she’d

  never recaptured it. “Oh, yes.”

  Dev, naked except for her briefs, slid her Þ ngertips beneath the thin straps of

  Leslie’s bra and eased them down over her shoulders. She dipped her head and

  kissed Leslie’s breasts, Þ rst one, then the other, moving down the smooth

  curves as she lowered the bra, millimeter by millimeter, until Leslie’s nipples

  were exposed. Rapidly opening the clasp, Dev freed Leslie’s breasts completely

  and sucked a nipple into her mouth. Leslie cried out, her knees buckling.

  “I’m so excited, Dev,” Leslie moaned, clutching Dev’s shoulders.

  “I feel like I might come.”

  “Let it happen,” Dev whispered around the hard nub, refusing to release her.

  She pressed one hand ß at against Leslie’s stomach, sweeping her Þ ngers in a

  slow steady arc, tightening inside as Leslie’s hips thrust in the air. Keeping one

  arm Þ rmly around Leslie’s waist, she pushed lower, dipping her Þ ngers

  beneath the edge of Leslie’s panties, sucking harder. First one nipple, then the

  other.

  Gasping, Leslie covered Dev’s hand as it circled beneath the damp silk. “Oh,

  don’t touch my clit. You’ll make me come.”

  “I want to,” Dev growled, her mind a red haze. Leslie was hers now. Maybe

  just for these few moments, but she was Þ nally hers. “I want you to come. I

  want to hear you come.”

  “I will, I promise.” Leslie didn’t recognize her own voice. Her body was

  spinning out of control. It was wonderful. It was terrifying.

  “I’ll come for you. I will. But I need to see your face, Dev. I need to see you

  when I come. Please.”

  Dev heard what sounded like fear and Þ nally raised her head.

  Leslie’s eyes were nearly closed, her lips trembling. Her face and neck were ß

  ushed, her breasts heaving. She was seconds from coming. The

  heat from Leslie’s center beckoned and Dev ached to drive into her, drive her

  over. Take her hard and deep. She wouldn’t hurt her, she knew she wouldn’t.

  She would be inside her at last and Leslie would be coming for her. For her.

  “Let’s lie down,” Dev said hoarsely, easing her Þ ngers from beneath Leslie’s

  panties. She guided Leslie to the side of the bed and yanked down the covers

  with one hand. She kicked out of her underwear as Leslie stretched out.

  Carefully, she slid Leslie’s bikinis down her legs and settled beside her, one

  thigh over Leslie’s. The touch of Leslie’s hot skin against her tense clitoris made

  her want to come. She fought not to Þ nish herself off against Leslie’s leg, even

  though it would only have taken a second. Instead, she held very still until she

  mentally pushed back her body’s demand to climax. Leslie’s eyes were hazy,

  her legs twitching on the crisp white sheets, her hands restless and urgent on

  Dev’s back. She whimpered, words beyond her.

  “Take my hand, baby,” Dev urged.

  Leslie gripped Dev’s wrist.

  “Take me inside, Les,” Dev pleaded. “Take me inside and come for me.”

  Barely breathing, eyes Þ xed on Leslie’s, Dev kissed her. Dev moaned as Leslie

  guided her Þ ngers between her legs. Leslie was wet, warm, open. At the Þ rst

  light touch of Dev’s Þ ngertips to the hard prominence of Leslie’s clitoris,

  Leslie’s head snapped back and she cried out.

  Dev gritted her teeth at the surge of pressure in her groin. She wouldn’t come,

  not yet. “More. Please, Les. Take me deeper.”

  “Oh, I am going to come,” Leslie keened, thrusting onto Dev’s Þ ngers.

  “Baby, you feel so good,” Dev said.

  Leslie caught her lower lip between her teeth, her eyes wide, the blue eclipsed

  by black as her pupils expanded wildly. She pushed Dev’s hand lower,

  squeezing Dev’s wrist hard enough to leave the crescent indentations of her nails

  in Dev’s skin. Her back arched as Dev entered her completely. The sweet

  pleasure of Dev’s palm caressing her, of her Þ ngers stretching and Þ lling her,

  was too much.

  “I’m coming,” Leslie groaned.

  Dev held her breath, watching Leslie’s face, feeling her spasm deep inside,

  listening to her cries of pleasure. She wanted to laugh. She

  wanted to cry. She wanted to shout with wonder. Leslie clung to her, sobbing

  quietly, and Dev buried her face in the curve of Leslie’s neck.

  “I love you,” Dev whispered. “Oh God, Leslie, I love you.”

  Weakly, struggling to catch her breath, Leslie stroked Dev’s back.

  Seconds passed, and Leslie slowly realized that Dev was shaking, her hips

  jerking against Leslie’s thigh.

  “Dev. Let me help you,” Leslie murmured, sliding her hand between her thigh

  and Dev’s body to cup Dev’s swollen sex. She hissed in a breath when her Þ

  ngers were instantly soaked. “Oh God, you’re beautiful. Tell me what you

  need.”

  “Squeeze my clit,” Dev gasped. “I need to come so bad.”

  Leslie stroked her Þ rmly, squeezing and releasing, feeling her grow impossibly

  hard. “Is it good, love? Is it what you need?”

  “Oh yeah,” Dev sobbed, “oh yeah, God yeah, you’re making me come.”

  Dev jerked in Leslie’s arms and her Þ ngers, still deep inside Leslie, thrust and ß

  exed. Leslie cried out in surprise as another orgasm crashed through her, but she

  stayed with Dev, stroking her through her orgasm until she lay limp and panting

  in Leslie’s arms.

  “Can you come again?” Leslie whispered, smoothing the damp hair from Dev’s

  forehead. She kissed her, pleased by the hazy bliss in Dev’s eyes.

  “Uh, maybe. In a year or two.” Dev sighed. “Jesus, that was intense.”

  “Yeah?” Leslie smiled broadly. She had put that sated look in Dev’s eyes, that

  lazy slur in her voice. She had done it, and she wanted to do it again. Now.

  Immediately. “That was just the warm-up, you know.”

  Dev quirked a brow. “You want more?”

  “Oh yes,” Leslie said, realizing just how much she wanted. “I want much, much

  more.”

  “I love you,” Dev said quietly.

  “I know.” Leslie stroked her cheek. “I’m so sorry it took me so long, Dev.”

  “It’s okay,” Dev murmured, but she wasn’t so sure. In the morning, they’d both

  return to their lives, and she wondered how she’d survive being without Leslie

  after this.

  “You look sad.” Leslie frowned with concern. “Dev?”

  “No.” Dev forced a grin. “Just gathering my strength.”

  With a laugh, Leslie pulled Dev on top of her and wrapped her legs around the

  backs of Dev’s thighs. “You’re plenty strong enough for what
I have in mind.

  Now, shut up and kiss me.”

  Dev surrendered willingly to the siren call of Leslie’s desire. The morning was at

  least a lifetime away.

  CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

  When Leslie awoke, lying on her side with her breasts and abdomen pressed

  against Dev’s back, the black plastic bedside clock read 3:20 a.m. in big white

  numerals. She wasn’t entirely certain, but she thought she’d been asleep for at

  least a few hours. The last thing she could recall was coming endlessly in Dev’s

  mouth. At the memory, she felt a trickle of arousal tease down her thighs. She

  couldn’t believe she was still excited after coming…three times? Four?

  She couldn’t remember. Each pinnacle of pleasure seemed to blend into the

  next, one sweeping crest of ever-mounting beauty and wonder after another.

  Smiling softly to herself, she kissed the curve of Dev’s shoulder blade.

  “Hey,” Leslie whispered into Dev’s ear as she slid her hand to the front of Dev’s

  body and caressed her breasts. “You promised to make love to me all night

  long.”

  “Mmm?” Dev twitched and sighed, her nipples tightening beneath Leslie’s

  insistent caresses.

  “You,” Leslie said, holding back a laugh. “Promised.” She guided Dev onto her

  back and straddled her hips. “To make love to me.” She swept her palms over

  Dev’s breasts and down her abdomen, pressing her thumbs into Þ rm muscle as

  she moved lower. “All. Night. Long.”

  Leslie slipped her hand between Dev’s thighs and squeezed gently.

  Dev’s eyes popped open as her hips jerked. She groaned, her gaze moving

  from Leslie’s nude body draped over her to the hand between her legs. “Jesus.”

  “Tired?” Leslie asked, her tone honey smooth.

  “No,” Dev said, reaching for Leslie’s breasts.

  Leslie caught Dev’s wrists, one in each hand, and let her weight fall forward to

  pin Dev’s arms to the bed. Her breasts brushed Dev’s face before she arched

  her back just enough to keep her erect nipples a breath away from Dev’s

  mouth. “Uh uh uh. No you don’t.”

  “Come on, Les,” Dev rasped, struggling to lift her shoulders from the bed. “Let

  me suck them.”

  “Oh, I don’t think so,” Leslie said lightly, even though her stomach quivered at

  the hungry look on Dev’s face. It was raw, unvarnished lust, but she knew in her

  heart it was for her. Her. Not anyone, not any body. It was her, her body, her

  touch, that Dev craved, and she thrilled to the power. “You had your way all

  evening, and then”—she leaned down and kissed Dev until they were both

  panting—

  “you dropped the ball.”

  Dev made a sound halfway between a groan and a growl. “I was just letting you

  catch your breath.”

  Leslie’s eyebrows rose. “Really.” She inched her hips higher until her center

  rested on Dev’s stomach. She rotated slowly, rubbing over Dev’s skin until the

  friction and heat made her clitoris pound painfully.

  She rose and glanced down at the wet sheen on Dev’s taut stomach.

  “Does that feel like I needed to rest?”

  “No,” Dev gasped, her face contorted with thwarted pleasure. “I was wrong.

  Jesus, let me touch you. I know you need me to.”

  “Oh, you think?” Leslie struggled not to let her arousal show.

  Seeing Dev’s desire for her was enough to make her wet, and the heat pouring

  from Dev’s body as she writhed between Leslie’s thighs kept her so hard she

  feared she’d climax from an accidental brush of her clitoris over Dev’s skin. Her

  thighs trembled from keeping herself poised just above Dev’s body. “It looks to

  me like you’re the one who needs to come. Do you?”

  “Yes. No. Later.” Dev tried to twist her arms from Leslie’s grip, but besides the

  fact that Leslie’s full weight held her down, her all-consuming arousal made her

  weak. Her arms and legs shook and the muscles in her stomach quivered.

  “Please.”

  Leslie dipped her head and swept her tongue over Dev’s nipples.

  Ignoring her own screaming arousal, she rubbed her sex up and down the apex

  of Dev’s thighs. Dev was wet. So wet. “Please what?”

  “Oh, Jesus,” Dev whimpered.

  “Please what?” Leslie closed her teeth on Dev’s nipple, biting down until Dev

  arched her back and cried out. “Hmm? What?”

  Dev thrashed her head, Þ ghting for breath. “I don’t know. I don’t know. God.

  I need you.”

  I need you. Dev’s plea, so unguarded, so vulnerable, pierced Leslie’s heart, and

  the heady sensation of control, of absolute power, was instantly replaced by

  aching tenderness. She kissed Dev’s nipple, then her mouth. “Shh, love, I’m

  here.”

  Leslie released Dev’s wrists and rapidly pushed herself down the bed until she

  lay between Dev’s thighs. She spread her Þ ngers over the soft, smooth skin,

  her breath catching as her Þ ngertips glided through the hot, slick patina of

  Dev’s desire. “Oh, you’re so wet.”

  “For you,” Dev gasped.

  “Yes,” Leslie breathed, skimming her lips through the fragrant perfume. “Mine.”

  She rested her cheek between Dev’s legs, feeling Dev’s excitement beat against

  her face. She turned her head a fraction and kissed the pulse that throbbed in

  the center of Dev’s sex.

  “So good.” Dev threaded her Þ ngers into Leslie’s hair. “That feels so good.

  Suck me?”

  Gently, Leslie pulled her between her lips, feeling her own body grow tighter

  and tighter as Dev neared orgasm.

  “Les,” Dev whispered shakily, “be inside me when I come.”

  Leslie groaned, so aroused she feared she would ß y off in a thousand directions

  before bringing Dev all the pleasure Dev had given her. Leslie eased into her and

  felt the quick tightening of muscles as Dev moaned.

  “Okay, love?” Leslie murmured, her throat thick with tears. She’d never wanted

  to give so much yet felt so inadequate at the same time.

  “Oh yes.” Dev’s Þ ngers spasmed as she tried to stroke Leslie’s face. Her voice

  thin with strain, she whispered, “I’m going to come if you don’t…stop.”

  “Too late,” Leslie laughed, taking Dev deep inside her mouth. At the same time

  she Þ lled her and took her over, only stopping when Dev Þ nally jerked away.

  “Baby,” Dev groaned, “baby, you gotta stop. I surrender.”

  Leslie leaned on an elbow and pushed her hair back from her

  face with her other hand. She grinned with satisfaction, watching Dev Þ ght for

  breath. Dev was covered in sweat, her body gleaming in the lamplight.

  “You’re so beautiful, Dev.” Leslie stared at the scar that ran from Dev’s

  hipbone down the outside of her thigh. She kissed the damaged skin. “I love

  you.”

  “Come up here.” Dev struggled to sit up, extending one hand. “Let me hold

  you.”

  “Lie down. You’re supposed to be basking.”

  “I’ll bask when I can hold you.”

  Leslie settled against Dev’s side, her head on Dev’s shoulder.

  Languidly, she stroked Dev’s chest and abdomen. “You make me feel sexy.”

  Dev laughed incredulously. “I make you feel se
xy? After that little display? I

  didn’t do anything except let you have your way with me.”

  “Mmm, that’s what I mean.” Leslie tilted her head and kissed Dev’s neck. “I

  feel a hundred feet tall when I make you come.”

  “I know,” Dev said, kissing Leslie’s forehead. “It’s the same for me when I

  touch you.”

  “It’s addicting.” Leslie propped her head in her hand, idly teasing Dev’s nipple

  with a Þ ngertip. “I want you again.”

  Dev hissed in her breath. “I might not survive the night.”

  “You better.”

  “Oh yeah?” Dev tapped Leslie’s chin. “Are you a morning girl?”

  Leslie grew still, thinking that she really had no idea. She’d never been this way

  with anyone. She’d never wanted so intensely, never hungered with an ache that

  felt as if it would never be Þ lled. She’d never wanted to possess anyone this

  way. “I think with you I’m a 24-7

  kind of girl. Is that going to be a problem?”

  “Not in this lifetime.”

  Dev rolled onto her side until she faced Leslie. She kissed her, and what she’d

  meant to be a kiss of reassurance rapidly turned into one of desire. She kept

  kissing her as she slipped her Þ ngers between Leslie’s legs, knowing she hadn’t

  come. Knowing she must still need to. When Leslie moaned, Dev guided her

  onto her back, stroking inside her mouth with the same sure, steady rhythm as

  between her legs.

  Leslie whimpered, her tongue probing, her Þ ngers digging into Dev’s shoulders.

  Feeling Leslie tense, her pelvis thrusting against Dev’s hand, Dev slid inside her.

  She stayed motionless, buried deep within, letting Leslie set the pace. As Leslie

  came, she jerked her head away, Þ nally breaking the kiss and releasing a long,

  thin cry of pleasure.

  “Oh God,” Leslie Þ nally gasped. “That’s it. You’re cut off until I have food.”

  She nuzzled Dev’s neck drowsily. “We didn’t have dinner, remember?”

  “So you’re going to stand me up for food?” Dev grinned, kissed Leslie lightly on

  the tip of the nose, and jumped from bed.

  “Where are you going?” Leslie sat up, pulling the sheets up to her waist. “Dev?”

  Dev rummaged in the desk and returned with a leather folder in her hand. She
