me ask again."

I finish walking inside the bedroom, stopping next to the bed.

"There's the sass. I did promise to show you everything I'd been dreaming of doing to you if you sassed me again, didn't I?"

"You did."

"Well, a promise is a promise." And without hesitation he pulls his shirt over his head and drops it to the floor.

I knew he was in amazing shape, but his body…his body is perfection. There is only the light from the street shining through the blinds, but it’s enough to see his perfectly tan skin. The light shimmers over his washboard abs and the slightest bit of dark hair across his chest. The minute I see his bare skin, instinct takes over, and I can't wait to feel him skin on skin. I instantly start to unzip my dress, but he gently grabs my hand and stops me.

"I'm showing you what I've been dreaming of, remember?"

I've lost the use of my voice and have to nod my answer.

"Good girl, now let me take it from here, gorgeous."

He pushes my hair off my shoulder, and then his lips press to my exposed skin. He continues to lightly kiss my shoulder and all the way up my neck until he reaches my ear.

"Thank you for trusting me," he whispers into my ear before I feel his breath move across my check, and then he kisses my lips gently. His eyes are filled with intensity and sincerity. "Thank you for trusting me with your story and for coming here tonight."

"You're welcome, Ronan. Thank you for trusting me with your secret lair," I say with a smile.

"Baby, your sass does something to me, but hearing my name on your lips will keep me hard for days."

Wanting to feel exactly how hard my name on his lips makes him, I reach down and palm his erection through his shorts. He is hard and thick, and it appears there is, in fact, more to him than I ever could have imagined.

Oh yes, that will do.

His hand covers mine, and he forces me to grip him tighter. "This is what you do to me, gorgeous. Do you know how many times you've left me in this state without even knowing it? How many times I've had to take care of myself just to be able to sleep at night?"

I shake my head to answer his question. If his touch and his kisses weren't enough, his words just may be my undoing.

"Too many to count, but that ends tonight."

He turns me around and moves all of my hair so it's falling over one shoulder, and then I feel his lips leave a trail across my upper back. Once he makes it to the other shoulder, he takes a small bite that has me looking back at him. I'm met with smoldering eyes filled with lust and want.

His finger glides down my back and finds my zipper. At a tortuously slow pace, he pulls the zipper down my back. He pulls the back of my dress open so the straps slip down my arms, and the billowy fabric lands in a puddle at my feet. His hands shadow each other down my sides, and as they reach my hips, I feel him kneel to his knees.

His lips connect with the small of my back, and his fingers slide into the sides of my panties, and he begins to pull them down my body. He continues to place kisses along my lower back and hips. As he lowers the material, he trails kisses all the way down my thighs. I can't help the small gasps that continue to escape with each time his lips connect with my body. This is by far the most sensual experience of my life. He is worshiping me, and I have never felt so desired.

"Step," he instructs, so I’ll step out of my panties. Once their gone, he takes the worshiping to new heights.

"Turn around," he says as he gently uses his hands to apply pressure in the direction he wants me to turn.

He remains on his knees and with the height of my wedges when I turn he is face to face with the part of me that is pulsing with need. I feel vulnerable but in the best way possible. It's a vulnerability I never knew existed. He looks up at me from his knees, and the outside world and ghosts from the past disappear.

His lips and his tongue explore my hips and across my pelvic bone
