a
full breath. She removed the panties and then glanced around, wondering where
to put them. He took them from her and tossed them on top of her laptop bag. “Now the sandals.”
    Those
she simply kicked off and left on the floor.
    “And now the bra.”
    She
had a trickier time with that, but he didn’t seem to mind waiting. In fact, he
grinned the entire time as he watched, and then once again took it from her to
place with the panties. “That’s better.” His gaze traveled slowly over her body
until Liane was sure she’d go out of her mind with
need. “Tell me what you’re thinking.”
    “I’m
very excited right now.”
    “Excited
how? Sexually? The way you feel before a presentation? The anticipation of a new adventure?”
    “Sexually.”
    “Good
girl. That’s how I want you all the time. Wet and ready for me. Are you wet, Liane ?”
    She
moaned softly. “Yes. Very.”
    “I
thought so. I can smell it on you.” Emmett moved away from her, and she watched
him light candles around the room, then open a credenza to reveal a sound
system. Soft music filled the room. She recognized the tune. It was current,
and very popular with teens who liked to make out in the dark. Her giggle sent
another grin to his face.
    “Something funny?”
    She
told him what she was thinking about the music.
    “That’s
why I chose it.” He held out his hands. “Would you care to dance?”
    “Oh
… um … okay. I haven’t in forever.”
    He
was next to her now, smelling fantastic and exuding sexual energy. It was so
powerful she could feel it, and it was such a new experience for her that she
grew lightheaded. She and Keith had fumbled around so much in bed that while Liane had enjoyed it, she’d never really known what it felt
like to make love to a man who was confident and practiced. Connor had been
nothing more than a rutting pig. She’d always fantasized about this, and now
that it was real, she didn’t know what to do with it.
    Forty-eight
hours ago she’d been saying goodbye to her father and grandmother in another
city. Now here she was, with one of the richest men in any city, slow dancing
in his dining room, wearing nothing but her dress. It felt like a dream, but it
wasn’t.
    The
bulge in the front of his pants as he pressed his body closer to hers was
certainly real. The way he held her in his arms with quiet assurance was real.
And the easy grace with which he guided her around the room was as real as it
got.
    Emmett
moved closer still and nuzzled her neck, planting tiny kisses up and down it.
“You’re a good dancer.”
    “That’s
because you’re so easy to dance with.”
    “You
flatter me.”
    “Ah,
in case you haven’t noticed, you’re a gorgeous charming man.”
    Emmett
smiled at her, his face mere inches from hers. “And you are a beautiful, sexy
woman who has never really lived.”
    He
released her hands and cupped her face, then kissed her. This time, he took her
mouth with an urgent fervor that took her breath away. She reached around his
waist and clung to him, letting his tongue inside. Deep moans escaped her
throat as his mouth moved over hers in ways she’d only dreamed of, and when he
finally broke the kiss, she was panting.
    “I
want you,” he said, his voice rough and deep. “I want to make love to you. No
strings attached. Can you handle that? I don’t do the romance thing, Liane . I only see one woman at a time, and right now I want
that woman to be you. Can we do this? Can we see where this leads us? I want to
dress you up and take you out, and show you things you’ve only dreamed
existed.”
    Her
mind reeled with everything he’d just said to her. She hardly knew which
question to answer first. “I want all of that, too. I want to make love to you,
too.”
    He
moaned softly. “Are you sure?”
    “Oh
yes. I’ve never been more sure of anything in my
life.”
    “Oh, Liane …” Emmett kissed her again, smashing his lips
against her mouth and then shoving his tongue inside
