long as she didn’t willingly request his lovemaking. Moving back, Riki allowed him to remove her colorful dress, leaving her bare before him.

Silently, Nico tucked her into the big bed, care in his every move. He moved away then, to secure his belongings and turn down the lamp for the night, leaving the room bathed in a soft golden glow. He returned to the bedside, catching her eye before stripping out of his clothes right in front of her. It was as if he wanted her to see each and every inch of his glorious body as it was revealed.

He was lean and hard muscled, bulging where it counted most. His arms were thick and strong, as were the muscles of his thighs and calves. His belly was ridged with muscle like a washboard and his chest was a thing of beauty. Nico held her gaze, daring her to look at that part of him that most wanted to claim her, and slowly, she dropped her gaze.

He was rampant, hard and wanting, his cock long and thick. Riki wondered how in the world such a glorious thing could fit inside her untried body, and she found herself wanting to find out.

But that would never do. She had to resist such thoughts, even with male perfection standing right in front of her. Her chastity was the only thing protecting her. Give that up and she gave up her life as well.

Still, Riki found herself growing warm, her blood firing and swirling in her veins. Had the mere sight of a naked man ever caused this kind of reaction in her before? She knew it had not. She’d seen Lucan and his lovers of both sexes. The men were fit and trim with good bodies—Lucan demanded only the best—but none had evoked this heated response. No other man had ever affected her like Nico and she knew in her heart, no other man ever would.

“You’re so beautiful, my Riki,” Nico whispered as he knelt on the side of the bed.

He had it all wrong, she thought. Nico was the beautiful one. Apprehension filled her as he levered himself down on the bed and folded the covers back, exposing her bare body to his hungry gaze.

“I want you so badly. I’m a desperate man, sweetheart.” Nico chuckled at himself. “But I already care far too much to rush you.” He smoothed one large hand down from her neck, over the rise of her breasts, pausing to tease one hard nipple and then lower, tracing the curve of her waist. “I need you like I need my next breath. Give me this,” he whispered, his lips against her mouth, “just this, so I can go on living.”

Nico kissed her then, his tongue probing gently at her lips, parting them and sweeping inside. Riki shivered, the feel of his tongue, the warm cinnamon taste of him firing her senses as his hard body covered hers, his arms imprisoning her in welcome warmth and spiraling tendrils of desire. His tongue played with hers, daring her to follow where he would lead.

There was a playfulness to Nico’s lovemaking. A fresh sense of wonder filled her. This man made her feel cherished. It was a secure feeling, one that begged her to give everything she had in return.

But she couldn’t. Her very life was at stake. She’d be a fool to trade her life for a moment’s pleasure. Even with Nico.

He moved then, pulling back to look down into her eyes as his hands moved on her body. One hand cupped her breast, massaging gently as her desire peaked. His other roving hand found her core. Nico held her gaze as he slid a finger inside her channel, teasing, testing, tantalizing her almost beyond reason. His thumb played over her clit, making her squirm as passion threatened to overwhelm her.

Then he lowered his head. Nico’s warm breath feathered over her nipple a moment before his mouth closed over the taut peak. A moan bubbled up from her throat as pleasure radiated from her nipple to her womb. At the same time, his fingers were sending shockwaves of sensation from her clit and that dastardly finger started pulsing in and out of her tight channel.

Riki couldn’t take much more.

“Come for me, sweetheart.” Nico’s whispered words encouraged her as she came with a little cry, captured by his lips against hers.

The pleasure peaked higher than before, lasting long, long moments as he continued to pet her damp body. She was
