instructed, closing the lid over the piano keys so I could rest my behind on it.
    Moving himself so he was sitting at the centre of the stool, Nicholas placed his hands on my waist and, without any warning, jerked me sideways along the piano so I stood between his legs. He hadn’t kissed me, had barely even touched me properly, and yet I was more turned on than I think I had ever been in my entire life.
    Trailing his hands so they rested on my bare knees, he ran them teasingly up under the hem of my cotton skirt to my outer thighs and then repeated the journey back down again. My head lolled back and my eyes closed from the pleasure of his touch, but suddenly I found Nicholas standing up and pressing his hips painfully against mine. One of his hands twisted into my hair, forcing my head back up, and I opened my eyes in surprise at his forceful movements.
    ‘Eyes open, Becky. You know how much I like to see you.’ His sentence was ground out as if I had annoyed him by looking away. Blinking in confusion, I looked him directly in the eyes as a flicker of concern mixed with my arousal.
    ‘Better,’ he stated, looking pleased, before his lips descended on mine with such devastating heat that I gasped for breath, instantly forgetting my concern. Taking the opportunity my gasp presented, Nicholas’ tongue lunged into my mouth, searching and teasing and heating my blood until he too had to stop for air.
    I was literally panting as his hands began to roam across my body, which I found embarrassing, but no matter what I did I couldn’t seem to breathe normally any more. To be honest, simply remaining upright was enough of a struggle right now.
    ‘Rest your arms back on the top of the piano,’ he instructed briskly, and I was so captivated by him that I did it at once. Now I stood leaning against the piano on my elbows as if resting there casually, a position completely at odds with the emotions that tumbled through my body under his skilled touch.
    He rubbed the heels of his hands roughly across my breasts, and I felt my nipples tighten and strain against my T-shirt to the point where the lace of my bra almost seemed painful, but in a way that only added to my overall arousal. God, that felt amazing, and I wished the barrier of material wasn’t there so I could feel him skin on skin.
    ‘So responsive,’ he murmured under his breath, looking me straight in the eye. Without dropping his gaze, he located one of my nipples under the T-shirt and took it between his thumb and forefinger. He tugged it gently, making me moan softly and arch myself toward him where I felt his solid erection digging into my belly.
    The feel of his hard length jutting against my thigh brought things into focus for me. This was really happening, Nicholas was this aroused because of me . The thought was potent, powerful somehow, and emboldened me enough to push my hand between us and cup the bulge in his trousers, causing a hiss to escape from his lips.
    His favourite half-smile seemed to play on his lips as he repeated the treatment on my other breast, this time twisting the nipple more sharply and sending a delicious shudder directly to my groin and making me moan out loud. His movements threatened to undo me, and as he pressed his thigh against the apex of my legs and began rubbing it against my groin through the material of my skirt I thought I might melt.
    ‘Ahhh  …’ I gasped aloud, but somehow managed to maintain eye contact with him, rather than allowing my eyes to close like they wanted as desire shimmied through me.
    As both his hands continued teasing, rubbing and tugging my nipples, I began to fear I might actually fall over. It had been a while since I’d been intimate with a man like this, a long while, and the sensations washing through my body were almost too much for me to handle.
    I don’t know if it was Nicholas’ deft touches, the added sensitivity from the material of my T-shirt, or just the way he seemed to be adding in
