“Angel... you are so beautiful,” I murmured before dropping my head and pulling the peak into my mouth.
Angelina’s legs buckled as she melted against me. I bent one knee, supporting her weight on my thigh. Palming her bottom with one hand, I guided the front of her body back and forth in a slow, deliberate rub against the ridge of my erection while I used my lips and tongue in dragging licks over one breast and then the other.
Tangling both hands in my hair now, Angelina panted and strained against me. The sounds she made were a combination of surprise and delight, and it was just about to send me into a fucking frenzy.
“Oh my God, Angel, you taste so good. I want to taste you everywhere.”
At the very limits of my self-control, I dropped to my knees and pushed the bottom of the dress upward, revealing white panties that were the perfect blend of innocent and sexy.
My mouth literally watered. I leaned forward and started to press a kiss to the front of the delicate fabric.
As if some mythical wizard had blasted us with an invisible shockwave, Angelina sprang away from me.
“No,” she yelped. “We have to stop. We can’t...Ican’t… do that.”
And now my heart was pounding fortworeasons. I tried to untangle my racing thoughts enough to keep up with the abrupt change in her behavior.
“What’s wrong?” I looked around, getting to my feet. “Are you worried about the girls? Did you hear one of them?”
She shook her head, still backing away from me with one hand clutching the top of her dress trying to pull it up and the other hand thrown out in front of her. It was shaking.
“No. But we shouldn’t do this. You’re my employer. I’m your children’s nanny.”
I chuckled, stepping toward her. “I’m willing to overlook that. You seemed pretty okay with it too a minute ago.” I thought for a second. “Was I moving too fast?”
Angelina had backed herself into the kitchen table, causing one of the chair legs to scrape loudly on the floor. She nodded vigorously up and down then side to side, like a little bobblehead doll.
“I don’t even know how it happened. One minute we were talking and then suddenly we were kissing, and you’re such a good kisser, and I knew better, but I just couldn’t help it, and then...”
Her rambling words drifted off to nothingness. She just stared up at me with huge dark eyes. I wanted nothing more than to grab her and kiss her again, to remove whatever doubts she seemed to be struggling with, but some deeper instinct told me that would be a mistake.
My hands raised in a gentling gesture, I stalked slowly toward her. “You’re right. That was definitely too fast. I’m sorry. It’s been a long time for me, too. But we can go slow. I’m fine with that.”
Now Angelina’s head swung back and forth on a swivel. “It hasn’t been a long time for me.”
I stopped in place, dropping my hands to my side. “What do you mean?”
Did she have aboyfriendI’d somehow never heard anything about? When would she have even seen the guy?
Jealousy roared to life inside me, converting the driving passion from moments ago into clouds of smoky displeasure.
Whoever the guy was—he wasgone. I would see to that.
“I mean…” She took a shaky breath. “I mean, it’s beenneverfor me. I’ve never been with anyone. Ever. I’ve never even kissed anyone before tonight.”
What?My mind went blank for a second.
How was it possible in this day and age a woman Angelina’s age—who looked likeher—could possibly be a virgin, much less a never-been-kissed virgin?
“You can’t be serious. That…” I turned and pointed across the room as if the specter of the two of us in each other’s arms was still visible there. “…was your first kiss? In yourlife?”
She nodded. “Yes. I know it must seem weird to you, but I’ve never dated anyone. I never went to school with boys, so there was no possibility of even a stolen kiss under the stairwell or whatever kids do at co-ed schools.”
“Oh. Well.”
The raging emotion swirling in my chest subsided a bit, and tenderness seeped in to fill the vacuum.
“Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever been anyone’s firstanything, much less their first kiss.”
