was dangling from one finger and she was waving it idly from side to side.
“Someone has on too many clothes,” she said, her voice a sultry purr.
“I can take care of that,” Lucas assured her.
He kicked off his loafers and began to unbutton his shirt with excruciating precision. Sherri sighed in anticipation, but he kept at the buttons, one at a time, as slowly as possible. He finally opened the shirt to reveal his broad golden chest flexing so that his pecs moved one at a time.
“Lucas...” she moaned.
He gave her a wicked smile and said, “You wanted a striptease so I’m giving you what you wanted.”
The shirt finally came off and he started on the belt buckle. Once again, he was moving slower than slow, or so it seemed to Sherri. She was already getting wet between her legs, and she could feel her nipples expanding, growing big and hard. Lucas was enjoying her reaction. His movements got more provocative, his hips gyrating and pumping as he inched the belt out of the loops on his jeans.
“If we were in the club I’d be getting some bills,” he pointed out.
She rose to her knees and stroked her flat stomach down to her neat patch of curls. Rotating her hips she purred, “I’ve got your bills right here, big man.”
“To hell with this,” he muttered, stripping off his jeans and briefs. He joined her on the bed and grabbed her around the waist. “Now what was that about you ravishing me?”
She pushed him back so that he was resting against the pile of pillows at the head of his giant four-poster bed. Her eyes were alight with equal parts desire and mischief as she reached under the pillows and pulled out two silk scarves.
“Do you trust me?”
“You know I do. What are we doing, babe?”
Sherri didn’t say anything as she straddled his chest and took one of his hands in hers. She guided it up to the bedpost and tied it loosely with the scarf, then repeated her action with the other hand. Lucas was smiling as she started in on his chest, rubbing the palms of her hands over his flat nipples in a circular pattern. His breathing got harsh as her thumbs began circling his sensitive nipples, making them bullet-hard. One hand continued its manipulation while her tongue took over on the other side.
She used her tongue and then her teeth to get him ready for more. After she toyed and teased his chest until he was making sounds of satisfaction, she licked her way down his torso to his navel and began kissing it like it was his mouth, circling it with her hot, clever tongue and exploring it until she heard his urgent moaning. She finally relented and kissed her way down to his manhood. Cupping him with one hand and stroking with the other, she tenderly caressed the sensitive tip before using her tongue to tantalize him into submission. Treating him like she would a lollipop, she licked and sucked and tongued until he was trembling and his hips were thrusting wildly. She had no intention of stopping, but Lucas easily freed his hands and took over.
The next thing Sherri knew, she was on her back with her legs apart to take Lucas in as he entered her yearning body. She was more than ready for him, meeting his urgency with the same hot desire. Every time he plunged into her she gripped and squeezed him with her inner walls, pumping harder and harder until he grasped her hips and held her tightly. A deep moan rose from his throat and he pushed again, grinding against her until he couldn’t hold back any longer. He let the explosive climax claim him just when Sherri’s release came, and their cries mingled in the love-scented glow of the candles.
Chapter 14
Sherri decided to put everything out of her mind except enjoying the day. She and Lucas had a great breakfast and made good time on the drive to Hilton Head to collect Sydney. It was a perfect day with a brilliantly blue sky. She couldn’t wait to see her baby. There were very few occasions when Sydney wasn’t with her. She had the occasional sleepover with one of her little friends, and sometimes she would spend the night with Alexis, but for the most part, Sherri was a full-time hands-on mom. Having Sydney away for a whole week was a first, and it had had its weird moments.
