Slow Hand by Bonnie Edwards Read Free Book Online

wanted sexually, made it plain he could do anything he liked.
    He dropped to his knees. Oh, he liked that. . . . Thank you, thank you, she said in a silent plea. A flash of the actors crossed her mind’s screen and she shivered in anticipation of the touch of his tongue on her moist slit. Would it be powerful like a ravishing pirate or gentle and coaxing like a tentative lover?
    His long callused fingers gripped her ankle, held her foot still.
    She felt his mouth on her big toe and jerked, startled. But he held her foot still and moved on to the next toe. Fire raced up her leg from each touch of his tongue and set a throb to start inside. Pulsing and needy she bloomed for him as he set sparklers on each toe, giving each equal attention.
    “Oh, Jared, that’s exquisite.”
    “I’ve wanted to kiss these tiny perfect toes since you took your shoes off at the pier.”
    “Just keep moving up my leg and I’ll be happy.”
    His fingers slid to her knee. “You mean up to here?” He swirled her pinky toe into his mouth and tugged on it.
    Her knee turned into a fireworks display at the same time her toe melted in his mouth. “Unnnnhh, higher.” She’d implode if he kept up this slow pace.
    His fingers swirled behind her knee and probed delicately there, making her croon in desperation for him to move higher, but she knew asking him would only prolong the agony. He wanted to torture her.
    “I didn’t know you were a tease,” she murmured.
    “Unlike yourself?” The husky tone held humor, but she was too far gone to get the joke.
    She counted the inches he crept. Two, then three, four . . . . 
    This was not what she expected. He ran a finger along her sole, sending shudders up her leg to her heart.
    And then it came to her. “Is this payback for my game on deck with the lotion?”
    He raised himself to lean over her, desire and deep humor blazing from his eyes. “Did you think I didn’t want my tongue on you? Your finger was less an inch from your clit. You threw your head back and the sun played across your skin in pink and red and I couldn’t tell if it was my eyes playing tricks or if you really were on fire.”
    “I’m on fire now,” she said hoping beyond reason that he’d quench her and do it fast.
    But his mouth quirked up into an evil, teasing grin and she knew down to her well-sucked toes, she was at his mercy. The pirate took complete control.

Chapter 7
    Teri considered being at Jared’s mercy and wasn’t sure she liked the idea. He was so damn slow , when all she wanted was to get to it. Besides, she’d decided at first sight the man needed to learn some manners.
    She grabbed his head, pulled him down fast and kissed his smile hard. She plunged her tongue into his mouth, sucked his bottom lip, and then licked the tip of his tongue until she couldn’t take anymore. She moaned. It had been so long, and she’d been so lonely. Lonely in her bed and lonelier in her heart.
    She fell back to the counter top, startled by the surge of desire that had her demand more than he wanted to give. Six months. Six long months since she had felt like this.
    Her hands on Jared’s chest, tempted beyond reason, she squeezed his pecs, wanting him to understand. To get it. “I haven’t had sex in six months. Hurry!”
    He stopped kissing her neck immediately, loosened his grip. “Excuse me?”
    ”I was hoping for faster.”
    He quirked an eyebrow. “No can do. I think the wattage on the buzz drops when we go slow.”
    She shuddered at the throaty sound of his voice. “I’m so horny I’m squirming.”
    He closed his eyes, set his jaw so hard she saw a muscle jump. “If I move faster it’ll be over before you’re ready. Believe me, slow will work.”
    Suddenly she realized he wanted fast, too, but he was more concerned with giving her a sure thing. She melted. “You’re in charge, Jared. We’ll go slow this time.”
    Her statement took the edge off, assuring her that now that they were here together with
