his left arm, but she stopped him with a hand on his shoulder.
"David," she said, as he straightened to look in her misty eyes. "I don't know how, I don't know why... but I've fallen in love with you, too."
Through the mist, she saw him flash a smile, and then, quicker than she could blink, she was quite literally swept off her feet and carried down the hall.
David dropped Marie onto the cushiony goosedown duvet, then straightened to loosen his belt. Though she couldn't see the details of his features, she'd captured it all picture-perfect in her mind. His ocean blue eyes, his divinely lopsided grin, his gloriously golden, manly-smelling skin...
Marie reached up and caught the front of his jeans by the waistband.
"What's this?" he asked, as she tugged him forward.
"David Lake," she said, her voice taking on a sultry quality he'd never heard. "I'm ready."
David sucked in a breath as Marie unbuttoned his pants and yanked down his fly.
"Come here, David," she said, sliding her hands down into his jeans and under the band of his briefs. "I want to see you."
David exhaled and dropped his jeans to the floor, not sure his own knees would hold up during all this excitement.
"Wow!" he said, kicking off his shoes and the rest of his jeans and springing onto the bed. "Keep talking!"
"Oh, honey," she said, purring kisses into his chest as she unbuttoned his shirt. "You haven't heard anything yet."
David fell back on the bed in wonder. Ecstasy. Excitement, as she trailed kisses down his chest, stopping at his navel to tease it a little with her tongue.
Marie didn't know what was happening, or what had overcome her. All she knew was that she wanted him, and wanted him in the worst way.
She caressed his broad chest once more, exploring the muscles there, then trailed her fingers softly, slowly down the line of his belly.
"Marie, Marie," David moaned softly. "Oh... don't stop."
He sounded positively... out of control.
She was liking this a lot. Then she straddled him and slid one hand over his hard arousal, rubbing it gently through the soft cotton of his briefs. Taking the initiative again, she pulled them off, leaving him. naked except for his open shirt.
David sat up and pressed her lightly on the shoulders. "You have me at a disadvantage," he said, kissing the top of her head.
Marie looked down at her sweater dress, wadded up around her thighs, and knew he was right. She reached for his hands and brought them to her hemline, encouraging him to help her.
In one quick move, David had lifted the dress over her head and reached for the clasp at the back of her black lace bra, as her hair cascaded down around him in waves.
"Help me," he pleaded, unable to work the clasp to his hurried satisfaction.
She reached back behind her and undid her bra, shaking it loose so her ample breasts fell freely into David's waiting hands.
"Baby," he moaned, leaning forward to lick and nibble, caress and suckle, until her panties felt damp and she knew she'd have to remove them.
Marie climbed off of him and sat on the side of the bed to remove her pantyhose and high-cut underpants.
"Come," he said, quickly shucking his shirt. He pressed her down onto the bed, "it's my turn."
She lay back on the pillows as he crouched over her in that panther-like pose she now loved so well.
"Marie," he said, lowering sensual kisses to her neck, her lips, her breasts. "I do love you, I do."
He brushed his length against her, and she felt her insides clench with a desperate yearning to know more of him.
David lowered his hips to hers, supported himself on one elbow, then used his free hand to caress her breasts once more. He lightly pinched her erect nipples and rolled them until she cried out with pleasure. Then he brought his full warm mouth down upon each, in its turn, to arouse her even more.
"David," she said, shifting her hips, "I don't think I can wait..."
That was all the encouragement he needed to lower his hands to her hips, stroke her thighs, then slip a hand in between her legs. He inserted one finger and tested the wetness there with a tender skill.
"Oh," Marie cried out, feeling her body convulse. "Oh, oh..."
David slowly withdrew his touch, and parted her thighs, positioning himself to enter her.
She gripped her hands around his naked backside and pulled him into her—hard.
He began to move in a powerfully erotic
