smell of his familiar, spicy cologne filled her senses. His tongue explored every inch of her mouth, his hands roving over her body. It was deliberate. A man staking his claim. Every female instinct inside of her could sense it.
    Heat and sensation sizzled through her as the ache between her legs grew more intense. Her head spun and she could barely think. She needed so much more. More than hands touching her through clothes. She wanted all of him. Touching her, sucking on her, inside of her… Oh dear god .
    She jerked her mouth from his with a gasp. “ Please , Todd.”
    He gave a low growl and hurried them inside the house. He pushed the door closed and turned to face her, the expression on his face almost predatory.
    Kate caught her breath as he plucked the red bow tied around her neck that held her cape on. The red fabric slid free a moment later and pooled onto the floor.
    “Red,” he said thickly. “You have been a naughty girl tonight, haven’t you?”
    It didn’t really bother her that he kept up the fantasy she’d created. Maybe he needed it to not be reminded of the fact of the huge step they were taking and how it hopefully wouldn’t screw up their friendship. It was just one night , she reminded herself.
    But staying in character put her a little more at ease too, made her almost convince herself that she was experienced at this sex thing.
    She smiled, her dimples popping out, as she fingered the neckline of her blouse. “I guess I have. And what are you going to do about it?”
    The smile that she loved slid over Todd’s face. Sexy. Suggestive. All kinds of wicked.
    “I’m going to make you come until you can’t tell from up and down.”
    “Funny,” she whispered. “But I think I’m already getting there.”
    His smile remained, even as the glint in his gaze brightened with desire. Slowly, he reached out and unlaced the white string of the black corset that wrapped around her waist. Once it was undone, he put it aside, and then methodically stripped her out of the rest of her costume.
    Soon she stood in front of him in nothing but white lace panties and red stilettos. Her nipples tightened in the chilly air and she tried desperately not to feel so exposed. So vulnerable. No man had seen her like this. Ever.
    Her heart thumped so hard in her chest, she thought Todd might even be able to hear it.
    “Look at you,” he muttered, his expression a combination of amazement and lust. “Jesus, how come it took me so long to see just what a little sex pot you are, doll?”
    Kate swallowed hard, his words sending a thrill through her. She closed the distance between them and wrapped her arms around his neck, then pressed her mouth against his. Just as she had that night at the bar. Only this time he didn’t shove her away. His arms slid around her waist, jerking her flush against him while his tongue swept deep into her mouth.
    Her head spun and she was vaguely aware of him walking her backward. And then the cool wall of the door hit her back. Todd’s hands were everywhere on her. Cupping her breasts and teasing her nipples.
    He tore his mouth from hers and groaned, staring down at her.
    “You’ve got the most amazing breasts,” he muttered, lifting one his palm. It didn’t quite fit, spilled over his hands, but he didn’t seem to mind.
    Her cheeks flushed with awareness and her lips parted in a soft gasp as his head dipped. Then his mouth closed around one aching nipple and she whimpered.
    She delved her fingers into his hair, clutching the soft strands and arching into his mouth. Oh God. Pleasure rocketed through her as he suckled her with varying levels of intensity. Soft, then hard.
    He slid a large, calloused hand down her hip and maneuvered it beneath her panties. When his fingers grazed her cleft, her knees threatened to give out.
    “Easy, Kate,” he murmured against her breast, while sinking a finger inside her. “Just enjoy and let me take care of you.”
    Her body clenched around him
